Paper Pieced Leafy Spray – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. When I saw the Petals of Beauty Dies, especially the large leafy die, my immediate thought was ‘paper piecing’ and that is what I have used to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the paper pieced leafy spray card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 4⅞” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 4”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea

 

Using the Textured Notes Dies, I die cut a decorated rectangle from the 5¼” by 4” panel of basic White card.

I die cut the leafy spray from scrap pieces of Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Secret Sea using the large die from the Petals of Beauty dies. A Take Your Pick Tool was used to free all the pieces from the die, one colour at a time, taking care to keep the leaves in the correct position.

The Secret Sea outline leafy die cut was then adhered to the die cut Basic White rectangle. At this point I realised it would have been a lot easier if I had adhered double sided adhesive sheet to the back of each scrap piece…….. don’t you love hindsight!

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the vases, one in Gorgeous Grape and the other in Pecan Pie. The three flowers and butterfly were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the scrap Basic White card, and all the images were die cut using the co-ordinating Pop-up Petals Dies. I used the following Blends Pens to add colour to the image – Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam & Old Olive.

Using the Textured Notes dies I die cut a decorated rectangle from the 4½” by 3” piece of Basic White card. The vases, flowers and butterfly were then arranged on the die cut rectangle using either liquid adhesive or Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment, having masked off the portion I didn’t want, in Gorgeous Grape ink onto scrap Basic White card. I trimmed it out and added it to the card front.

Floral Reverse Embossing Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing techniques using embossing folders. I have made my card using the gorgeous Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the floral reverse embossing card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Berry Burst card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic Beige card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic Beige card – 2½” by 2½”

 

I embossed the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic Beige card using the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.

The embossed panel was placed face, or embossed side down and added Berry Burst ink with a Sponge Dauber to the petals of the flowers. The leaves were coloured in the same way using Garden Green ink and to the flower centres using Pecan Pie ink.

Taking a Secret Sea ink pad, I dragged it lightly across the coloured embossed panel from top to bottom. I repeated this until the whole panel was covered. A length of Gold Mesh Ribbon was wrapped around the layer before being secured on the back with Sellotape.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued the embossed panel to the Berry Burst layer. The whole piece was then glued to the Basic Beige card front.

The sentiment, from the Layers of Beauty stamp set was stamped on the small square of Basic Beige card with Secret Sea ink. I die it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
