Painted Blooms DSP Card 5 - Simply Wonderful

For the 5th and last card in the Painted Blooms series, I created a 'friendship' card with the "Simply Wonderful" stamp set. I also used more of the fussy cut blooms that I had cut up for making the 6 cards that have been posted over the past few days. I have a few left for some more cards that I will make in the future.

This time I used Rose Red for the accent colour, and used the Stampin' Write Markers to colour the stamp. I love the "Large Polka Dot" embossing folder! Works well the the small tulip pattern. In the next 2 photos you can see the layering.

To see what I all used to make this card, check below.

Painted Blooms DSP Card 4 - "Congrats" Simply Wonderful Stamp Set

The 4th card of this series is a "Congrats" card. Much more simple with none of the fussy cut flowers, I focused on the lighter colours on this DSP sheet - yellow & blue.

You can see the sentiment stamp is stamped in two colours even though the stamp is all in one. I covered the scroll pattern with scotch tape when I inked the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The I pealed the tape off and using the Soft Sky Stampin' Write Marker brush tip I coloured the pattern and then stamped the sentiment! A real fun way to get more than one colour of ink on your stamps.

Using the Decorative Label punch on the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper I punch a piece out. Then I cut it diagonally from corner to corner and popped it up behind the sentiment, and placed the Candy Dots in the corners.

Next you can see the layers better.

On the banner, I punched two holes to pull the ribbon through, and tied a bow. To see all of the things I used in the making of this card check below.

Thank you for joining me today, and happy stamping!

Painted Blooms DSP Card 3 - Sympathy

This is the third in the "Painted Blooms" DSP card series, which I created as a Sympathy card using the Petite Pairs stamp set.

 Again, using the fussy cut flowers, and the Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, and Rose Red colours I created this card. In this next photo you can see how I arranged the flowers.

And next, you can see the layering.

 If you like fussy cutting, then Painted Blooms DSP has a few sheets that are perfect for that! There is also the "Painted Petals" stamp set that coordinates with the DSP!

Painted Blooms DSP Card 2 - Big Day

This is the second posting for this card series using the "Painted Blooms" DSP. For this Birthday Card I used the "Big Day" Sale-a-bration stamp set that you can for free with a $60 order.

I made three tags, tied them together, and then spread them out adding dimensionals between each layer toward the middle/end of the tags after notching them, or fish tailing them is you will. I cut three 5/8" strips and slid the ends into the back of the Banner Punch to just notch the ends. I criss-crossed them and glued them together.

After Punching the Decorative Label piece out of the Glimmer Paper, I cut it in half horizontally and positioned it behind the stamped sentiment punched with the same punch, and attached it on top of the criss-crossed banner strips with diemensionals. Then, again with dimemsionals, I attached it to the tags.

After fussy cutting a whole 12 x 12 sheet of the "Painted Blooms" variety of flowers, I arranged and positioned the blooms with a combinations of liquid glue and dimensionals around the top of the tags and ribbon.

I had a lot of fun with this card and hope you are inspired to case this one or create your own version. See below for all that I used to make this card.

Happy Stamping!

Painted Blooms & Simply Wonderful Easel Card

Hello everyone!

I have a beautiful easel card to share with you today. I just received some new things that I ordered and am excited to share with you what I made. This is a card that requires a little patience working with a bunch of fiddly little blossoms. But, it is so worth the end result for someone special.

Using leafy paper from the new collection "Painted Blooms" as a background, and several "Itty Bitty" punched flowers that I inked and used the "So Saffron" Stampin' Write Marker for a dotted center, I created three different colour Hydrangea flowers. A very dimensional card, which I love to make.

This easel card even has dimension inside!

Of course when placed in an envelope this will flatten a little. Here are other views of the inside.

To make this card -

Card Base

• cardstock - 1 @ 10" x 7", 1 @ 7" x 5" - Score the 10" x 7" with the 10" across the top of your Simply Scored board and score @ 2" & 5"
• Fold score lies with your bone folder

Card Front

• cardstock - 1 @ 6 3/8" x 4 3/8" 
• background DSP - 1 @ 6 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Card Front Tag

• cardstock - 1 @ 2" x 3" - punch one end with one of the Tag Topper punches
• Whisper White - 1 @ 2" x 3" - punch one end with the same Tag Topper punch and trim approx 1/16" off of each side
• stamp with your choice of sentiment (I used "Simply Wonderful" from the Sale-a-bration catalogue)
• attach this onto the cardstock piece and then trim off unneeded part at the top
• attach to the card front with dimensionals

Flowers

• Using the flower from the "Itty Bitty" punch set, punch out about 3/4 of a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" Whisper White cardstock
• Ink edges with your choice of colours
• Use the "So Saffron" Stampin' Write Marker to dot the flower center (brush tip)
• use the rounded end of your paper piercer or a large ball flower stylus and press the center of the flower down into your paper piercing pad to shape the flowers
• With your 2" circle punch punch out 2 Whisper White circles and cut them in half
• Start layering and attaching the blossoms onto the half circles with glue dots (leave at least 12 flowers for filling in around the half circle)
• When completely filled attach to desire position on card front with dimensionals
• fill in around the half circle, with the saved flowers, right onto the background. This makes the dimension of the flower more realistic.

Card Inside

• cardstock - 1 @ 6 3/8" x 4 3/8" 
• Whisper White - 1 @ 6 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Sentiment Band

• cardstock - 1 @ 4 1/8" x 1 3/8"
• DSP - 1 @ 4" x 1 1/4"
• cardstock - 1 @ 3 5/16" x 5/16"
• Whisper White - 1 @ 3 1/4" x 1/2" (stamped with sentiment)
• pop up with dimensionals in desired position
• add remaining flowers to embellish

Attach the front of the card onto the 2" folded section on the front of the card

Hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create your own. See below for all the materials and supplies used for this card. This would make a great Easter card, or Mother's Day card.

Have fun punching and stamping!
