Mornin’, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop. I’m glad you were able to stop by and appreciate you spending a little bit of your day with us. Today we all worked a color sketch and I’m excited (and hope you are, too! 🙂 ) to see what all the ladies-who-hop have come up with as they work their crafty magic on this classic color combo:
Pretty, huh? Gave us all a chance to play with the new Copper embellishments….Metallic Thread, Embossing Powder….Washi Tape.
I decided to play with the Flourishing Phrases stamp set – it’s got so many great sentiments and, of course, the beautiful….well, flourish! I added some Botanical Blooms and the matching Botanical Builder flowers. And as a starting touch….I used the Detailed Floral Thinlits. Take a look-see:
My card began with a simple Whisper White card front panel that I ran thru the Big Shot – with the smaller Detailed Floral thinlit and the edgelit die (included in the set!) – near the “bottom” (or the top and then flip it – tomato…tomaaahto…).
I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get my Flourishing Phrases flourish lined up just so, and stamped it on the panel with Versamark Ink, then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated it up!
I added the first sentiment – from Flourishing Phrases – in Night Of Navy, also using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. Then I made flowers!
I first stamped and heat embossed in Copper several of the small flower-center images from Botanical Blooms on Whisper White card stock. Then I used the dies from the Botanical Builder set to cut them out. I rounded them with a stylus – from the back for the petals and from the front for the centers. Normally, I’d sponge the edges with something – would have been Night of Navy in this case – but I decided to go for a cleaner look this time around. I also Copper heat embossed the veins image from Botanical Blooms, on Night of Navy card stock, and cut a couple of leaves with their matching dies. Finally, I cut one Night of Navy fern. Cuz I flat love that die shape!! 🙂
I adhered the leaves directly to the card front with Liquid Glue. Then I punched some Night of Navy hearts with the Confetti Hearts Border Punch and adhered a few – some around the leaves, a few under where I was going to put my flowers. I used some Glue Dots to wind a few loops of new Copper Metallic Thread around and around and popped my flowers over all that with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the flowers, I added a Night of Navy small Enamel Shape to each of their centers, and glued some of the tiny Confetti Hearts to the petals.
Then I used a little SNAIL and some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere the card front to a Night of Navy mat.
On the inside, I heat embossed a portion of the Flourishing Phrases flourish, again in Copper, in the bottom corner of a Whisper White Panel. Then I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the inside sentiment, and stamped it in Night of Navy. A few more of the Confetti Hearts, adhered with Liquid Glue, finished it off!
I SNAILd it to a Night of Navy mat and then into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
The Medium Whisper White Envelope got another Copper-embossed Flourishing Phrases flourish on the front…
…and a custom flap from a piece of the Floral Boutique Designer Washi Tape and a little bit of the Floral Boutique DSP.
Et Voila! This one could easily work as a Wedding Card, an Anniversary Card, or even (I think!) an Engagement Card! Love the way all the different parts came together! I hope you like it, too! 🙂
