Paper Pieced Leafy Spray – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. When I saw the Petals of Beauty Dies, especially the large leafy die, my immediate thought was ‘paper piecing’ and that is what I have used to make my card.

Pool Party card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

I die cut the leafy spray from scrap pieces of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea using the large die from the Petals of Beauty dies. A Take Your Pick Tool was used to free all the pieces from the die, one colour at a time, taking care to keep the leaves in the correct position.

The Secret Sea outline leafy die cut was then adhered to the die cut Basic White rectangle. At this point I realised it would have been a lot easier if I had adhered double sided adhesive sheet to the back of each scrap piece…….. don’t you love hindsight!

Baptismal Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the card I made to celebrate a friends recent baptism using the new Petals of Beauty stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the baptismal card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 3½” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

Using Berry Burst ink, I stamped the outline large flower image, twice onto the 5⅛” by 3⅜” piece of Basic White card. The infill colour was added with 2nd generation Berry Burst ink.

The sentiment, from the Layers of Beauty stamp set was stamped in Secret Sea ink along the bottom of the panel which was then glued to the Secret Sea panel and then to the Berry Burst card front.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I cut a cross shape into the 3½” by 2¼” panel of Basic White card. This was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
