Coneflower Celebration card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing the paper piecing technique. I have made my card using the Coneflower Celebration stamp set and the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper (dsp).

Colours in my card are:

 

To recreate the coneflower celebration card, you will need:

Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Secret Sea card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Scrap Thoughtful Journey dsp

 

Using Secret Sea ink, I stamped the head of the coneflower onto the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. This helps with placement when putting the card pieces together.

I die cut a stitched circle from the square of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The ‘ground’ image, from the Scenic Adventures stamp set was stamped along the bottom using Crumb Cake ink.  I cut off one side of the circle and adhered it to the card front.

Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

I folded the two side flaps of the bag inwards and glued them down. The tab on the bottom of the die cut bag was snipped off the bottom also adhered down. The 2 white straps were then adhered to the front of the die cut bag along the line of the seam. I had die cut these on card with some adhesive sheet applied to the reverse to make this easier. I then adhered the bottom piece and the bag handle using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bag was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Three pretty floral cards made for April 2025 classes using the gorgeous Thankful Garden stamp set, dies and masks from Stampin' Up!

Thankful Garden Class Projects

Today I am sharing the cards designed for my April classes using the gorgeous Thankful Garden stamp set, Dies and Masks.

The colours used to make these projects are:

 

Diagonal Open Front card

Soft Sea Foam card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Mark at 2¼” along the top of the card, cut from the mark to the lower right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White – 4 ¾” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

This card was inspired by Tina Bickford, the Tatted Stamper 

The off cut from the card front was embossed before adhering it along the bottom of the card front. We then stamped the large hydrangea onto the side and top of the card front in Soft Sea Foam ink to add texture.
