Inspiring Iris for a birthday card

Today I am sharing a card made for the birthday of a friend. I used the new Inspiring Iris stamp set which has some really pretty floral images, perfect for birthdays.

To recreate the Inspiring Iris card you will need;

Melon Mambo card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green 3 ¾” by 2 ¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 3⅝” by 2⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner

The outline flowers were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smallest Whisper White panel.

The fill in stems were stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. I love the water colour effect of this stamp. So pretty.

The in-fill flowers were then stamped in 1st or 2nd generation ink or Daffodil Delight ink.

The border image was then stamped in Granny Apple Green ink in 1st and 2nd generation ink below the flowers but I didn’t really like how this looked and ended up covering it up with a piece of Granny Apple Green Ribbon.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White in Granny Apple Green ink, trimmed out with scissors and added onto the ribbon.

I stamped the in-fill flower image randomly over the Melon Mambo card front in Melon Mambo ink to add a little more interest and texture to the card. The floral piece was then added to the card fron with Dimensionals.

The inside Whisper White panel and the envelope were decorated with a stamped flower.

I hope my friend likes her card.

A lovely floral card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 colour challenge using the Painted Seasons stamp set

CAS Colours & Sketches #309 – Painted Seasons

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #309 Challenge. I used the gorgeous Painted Seasons stamp set, can’t seem to get enough of this set at the moment. The challenge this time asked us to create a project using Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.

Making the CAS Colours & Sketches card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and randomly stamped the 2 flowers, 1 in Daffodil Delight and the other in So Saffron ink. I then stamped 2 of the leaf images in 1st or 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The small cluster of stars were then randomly added in So Saffron ink. Basically I used the stamps to make my own dsp.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left corner and mounted the panel onto a piece of Basic Gray cardstock with a rounded upper left corner using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I then wrapped a length of Daffodil Delight Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to a Pear Pizzazz card base with a rounded upper left corner.

Using my Bigshot and the Doily Builder dies I cut out the ring doily from Whisper White cardstock. I only wanted the centre piece and added the detailed ring to my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever lovely stamp set onto the centre die cut in Pear Pizzazz ink. I added a portion of one of the large flowers at the bottom of the die cut using Daffodil Delight ink. The piece was then mounted using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, onto a Basic Gray circle, cut using the Layering Circle dies. The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped one of the flower images in Daffodil Delight ink and a leaf in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card having rounded the upper left corner. The same images were then stamped on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.
