Hello and welcome to the Product of the Month Collaboration Blog Hop. Sadly, I forgot to add the Shining Stars dies, October’s product of the month to my order………sad face….so have made my card using the September offering, Luxe Foliage Speciality Paper which is still available in the UK.

Colours used to make this project are:

 

I created the golden blossoms card using the following supplies:

Peaceful Pine card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Basic White – 4½” by 1”
Basic White – 4⅛” by ¾”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Luxe Foliage dsp

 

I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the 4⅛” by 2¼” panel of Basic White card and removed the backing.

I cut ⅜” strips of the Luxe Foliage dsp and laid them, one at a time on the diagonal and butted up to the one before. I cut off the excess and, if they were long enough, I re-used them until the panel was covered.

I choose a piece of the pretty Vellum and adhered it to a piece of Basic White card using Seal +. Using sharp Scissors I fussy cut around some of the flowers and leaves and tucked them under the corners of the label using Mini Glue Dots.

Berry Botanical Balloons Card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I am sharing my first play with the gorgeous Berry Botanical Vellum, our June product of the month. I have used it with the Balloon Festoon stamp set and dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

I created the Berry Botanical Balloons card using the following supplies:

Strawberry Slush card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞” on the short side
Misty Moonlight – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Strawberry Slush – 2” by 1½”
Misty Moonlight – 2½” by ½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Berry Botanical Vellum, Basic White, Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight

 

Using the So Swirly Embossing Folder I embossed the 2” by 1½” piece of Basic White card and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Strawberry Slush card front.

I used the Balloon Festoon dies to die cut the second smallest balloon from the scrap of Berry Botanical Vellum. I die cut the same balloon from scrap Basic White card and adhered them together with a little Seal.
