A striking thinking of you card made using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and the 2023 -2025 in colors from Stampin' Up! - Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Loveliest Tree card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a roll of a dice to inspire us today. The roll gives us – pearl, colouring, In Colors, sympathy and standard horizontal and I have used the new Loveliest Tree stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the loveliest tree card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛
Pebbled Path card – 4⅜” by 3½”

Moody Mauve card – 3¼” by 1”

Scrap Basic White & Pebbled Path card

 

I decided to use the 2023 – 2025 In Colors to make my card, they seemed more appropriate for a sympathy card. I added a little removable adhesive to the back of each 1” strip of in color card and lined them up on a sheet of grid paper butted up against each other.

Using a stamp positioner, I stamped the large tree image in Pebbled Path ink across all 4 strips of card. I made sure that my ink pad was freshly inked and repeated this step a couple of times to get the required depth of colour.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut it using a label die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I die cut it twice to make the label smaller. I then adhered the sentiment to a scrap of Pebbled Path card which was then trimmed to fit. I added it to the card front with liquid adhesive and a Dimensional.

Using a Boho Blue Blends Pen I coloured a trio of Iridescent Pearls and added them to the card front.

I got to this point before I realised that I had missed out the colouring element……. Ooops! I hope you’ll forgive me.

A pretty, floral 'sending hugs' card made using the Painted Lavender stamp set & dies and the Perennial Postage dies from Stampin' Up!

Bunch of Lavender card

This bunch of lavender card was inspired by a card made by Amy Koenders –  I have taken Amy’s original and adapted it to make it my own.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the bunch of lavender card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 4¼” by 1”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3 ¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Highland Heather

 

I glued the large panel of Perennial Lavender dsp to the Gorgeous Grape layer and then added the panel to the Highland Heather card front.

From the 4” by 3” panel of Basic White card, I die cut a Deckled Rectangle. With Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped the leafy sprig, twice onto the die cut rectangle. The thin strip of dsp was then adhered to the back of the rectangle . The rectangle was then glued to the card front.

I inked up the spray of flowers with Highland Heather ink. I coloured in some of the flowers with a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Marker _ the marker to stamp technique – to add more texture and stamped the image onto scrap Basic White card.

The flower stems were stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Granny Apple Green ink. Both images were then die cut using the Painted Lvender Dies. Using a little liquid glue I adhered the stems to the flowers. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Perennial Postage stamp set was inked up with Mossy Meadow ink and stamped on scrap Basic White card. I punched it out using a retired 1” Circle Punch. I used a 1¼” Circle punch to unch out a Highland Heather circle. You could use Dies to do this. I added the sentiment on a Dimensional.
