Stampin’ Up! Large Letters Pressed Flowers for the Stamp Ink Paper #151

Good morning, y’all!  Tuesday again, which means it’s time for another Stamp Ink Paper challenge to help get your creative mojo flowing!

I pulled out a couple of die sets – one, the Large Letters Framelits, is staying with us and the other, the Large Numbers Framelits, is retiring in less than 2 weeks!  Yep – it’ll be gone, so…if you want it – you know what you need to do!  I combined them with the new Pressed Flowers Host Exclusive set and made an Eclipse card.  Take a look-see:

So – can you guess the SIP #151 Challenge?  Yep – show us projects made with Letters or Numbers!

I also took some inspiration from The Paper Players Clean & Simple Challenge.

I started with a simple piece of Thick Whisper White card stock.  With a couple of pretty images from the Pressed Flowers stamp set, I stamped sort of randomly across the panel.  For each image, I used the Marker-To-Rubber inking technique (this is why you really WANT all the colors of Stampin’ Write Markers!).  I used Flirty Flamingo and Pineapple Punch markers for each flower and the Shaded Spruce Marker for the stems.  Before I stamped each image – I “huffed” on the stamp to moisten the ink!

When I had as many flowers as I wanted, I used dies from the Large Letters Framelits and the Large Numbers Framelits to cut my sentiment – making sure to keep the little cut-outs from the “B”!  I used the same dies again and cut three more of each letter/number in Flirty Flamingo.

With Liquid Glue, I adhered the letters up in a stack.

I adhered the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat with Liquid Glue – being sure to get all around each letter to that everything stuck down.  Then I used the Glue to adhere each of the letter/number stacks.  Finally, I added the “B” cutouts.

The finishing touch was some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in So Saffron and Petal Pink in the middle of each of the flowers.

On the inside, I didn’t use a sentiment.  I inked up the Pressed Flowers image again, and stamped it off twice, then stamped the middle of a Whisper White panel.  Tip: I inked the stems in Shaded Spruce and stamped them off twice.  THEN I inked the flowers in Flirty Flamingo and Pineapple Punch – and stamped the whole image off again (twice).  That made the stems be light enough!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat and into my So Saffron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

On the front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope, I added three more of the single-stem Pressed Flowers…

…and I used the second image on the back, straddling the edge of the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I love the femininity of these beautiful flowers in the Pressed Flowers set!  And I think the Large Letters/Numbers die cut sentiment is fun – especially if the card were to head to a teenage girl (or a young-at-heart-and-totally-tech-savvy woman!).  You know – someone who LOL’s and NP’s and TYs’….  They’ll for sure know what HB2U is!  Hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix

I try to go for a walk with the Man each afternoon – partly cuz he likes to go.  Mostly cuz my watch is a pushy thing and makes me.  Oh – and I want my hind-quarters to diminish, not re-spread!

So…off we go.  Usually to the mailbox and back – which is about 2/3 of a mile roundtrip, with a mild hill to exercise said hind-quarters.

Finn sort of ranges along side me – in something of a loose-trail position.

Unless he’s in a bit of a hurry…

So I get a view of his pantaloonies.

You know you have a well-balanced dog when he’s as cute from the rear as the front!

Sometimes, he’s interested enough in my well-being to stop and check up on me.

Or…maybe he’s just telling me to hurry-it-up-already, Mom!

Open to interpretation, I suppose!
