The four tabs forming the bottom of the box were then glued together.

Rose in a Vase Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the pretty Pop-Up Petals stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

 

Colours used to create this card are:

 

I created the rose in a vase card using the following supplies:

Bubble Bath card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Lost Lagoon – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Velvet Meadow dsp – 2⅞” by ½”
Bubble Bath – 3⅜” by 2⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 2”
Bubble Bath – 1⅝” by ½”
Scrap Basic White and Artisan Sketched Garden dsp

 

I ran one of the largest panels of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then trimmed down to 4⅞” by 3 ¼” before it was adhered to the Lost lagoon layer. The whole piece was glued to the Bubble Bath card front.

The three pieces of Velvet Meadow dsp were added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

I glued the smaller piece of Basic White card to the slightly larger layer of Bubble Bath card and added it over the strips of dsp on Dimensionals.

The rose image, from the Pop-Up Petals stamp set was stamped with Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured using Blends Pens – Bubble Bath and Lost Lagoon.

The vase was die cut from a scrap of Artisan Sketched Garden dsp – I actually die cut the vase from several different dsp scraps before settling on this one. The rose was cut down and added to the back of the vase with a Mini Glue Dot before the vase and flower were glued to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink onto the small piece of Bubble Bath card and added to the card front. I used tape to mask off the words I didn’t want to use before stamping it down.

To finish the card I added three small black dots from my stash, a trio of Sunset Sparkle Sequins and a Baker’s Twine bow.

Supplies used:

 

A congratulations card made using the Reason to Celebrate stamp set used and the Artisan Sketched Garden designer series paper (dsp) from Stampin' Up!

Artisan Flowers Card

I have kept this card really simple and used the gorgeous Artisan Sketched Garden designer series paper (dsp) to make a pretty, floral congratulations card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

I created the artisan flowers card using the following supplies:

Barely Blush card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Artisan Sketched Garden dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

From the 4⅛” by 2¼” panel of Basic White I die cut a label using the Nested Essentials dies.

I mounted the sentiment, from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set onto my Stamp Positioner plate, inked it up with the Black Hybrid ink and stamped it onto the die cut label. I used the positioner in case I needed to stamp it multiple times. I then set it aside to dry which took quite a while.

Using the Barely Blush Blends Pens, I coloured in the larger flowers on my chosen piece of Artisan Sketched Garden dsp. The soft pastel colour looks dramatic against the black background.

The leaves were then coloured with the Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens. I left the tiny flowers white.
