Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a theme challenge today and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
We’re all playing with Sale-A-Bration products today and I selected the Heal Your Heart stamp set and the pretty Paper Blooms DSP . These are both freebies at the $50 level – meaning when you spend $50 (before shipping & tax) you could select either of these products. Now – fun fact – the Paper Blooms DSP coordinates with the In Bloom Bundle in the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog. So….I called that SAB-Adjacent and used it in my card, too! Take a look-see:
Here’s our challenge badge!
And – I also let the TGIF Challenge give me a hand!
I selected a card on page 3 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog as my inspiration!
I started with a piece of Paper Blooms DSP that I matted on Night of Navy for the card front. Then I matted a piece of Basic White on Night of Navy and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used a few of the fun stitched dies in the Pierced Blooms set to cut out some of the flowers in the Paper Blooms DSP. AND – I used some leaves and flower dies to cut flowers from the DSP in Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Night of Navy. There’s a design that has big bold circles of color – and you just cut your shapes right out of them!.
Finally, I cut some leaves from Soft Sea Foam cardstock.
On a piece of Soft Sea Foam, I stamped the Heal Your Heart sentiment in Night of Navy and cut it with the label die in Pierced Blooms. Then I was ready to assemble my collage! 🙂
I started by adhering leaves and a flower with Liquid Glue. Then I added a Gold Hoop Embellishment with a couple of Glue Dots.
I popped the sentiment on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and kept adding flowers and leaves. It looked like it needed a bow – so I cut one with the Pierced Blooms die – using the Petal Pink circle of color on the Paper Blooms DSP. Then I added it with a little Liquid Glue.
I adhered a few little flowers here and there around the collage.
Because I could and I love them so much, I added Champagne Rhinestones to the flower centers – and the center of the bow – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped three In Bloom flowers in Petal Pink on a Basic White panel. I added a couple of Soft Sea Foam stems and some Night of Navy flower centers. And…Champagne Rhinestones! Again…because I COULD! 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Night of Navy mat and into my Soft Sea Foam card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more In Bloom flowers on the front…
…and a little more of the Paper Blooms DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Isn’t this Paper Blooms DSP pretty? And the fact that you can cut stitched flowers from it using the Pierced Blooms die set (bundled with the In Bloom stamp set) is a really happy bonus!
And…Heal Your Heart remains one of my favorite sentiment sets!!
I hope you like!
