Garden Poetry Lovely Day Wishes Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features products from the vibrant, nature inspired Garden Poetry suite collection.  This suite is perfect for creating stunning handmade cards, with thoughtful sentiment stamps that deliver messages of gratitude, appreciation, and positivity. 


I love the unexpected mix of Blackberry Bliss with the springtime yellows and oranges in the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (DSP) print. 

This layout was inspired by a sample shown on page 23 of the Jan-April mini catalog.

Mixed Up Patterns + Hexagon die = Infinite Possibilities

Greetings! 

Today's cards feature the hexagon from the Paradise Garden dies along with the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Papers (DSP).  This card uses a sentiment from the Notes & Totes stamp set.



I've included pictures below of six more cards using this same layout. I had so much fun using these prints and the hexagon die that I had a hard time stopping!  The same layout is used for each card, and you'll notice how different each one feels depending on the prints and colors chosen. 

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

To help decide which combinations of prints and colors to use for the backgrounds, I cut the 12 x 12 sheets of DSP into the individual squares.  Having the individual squares made it easier to mix them until finding the combination preferred. You can get one hexagon out of each 3" square, and two out of the four inch squares depending on how you position the die.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Paradise Garden bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Notes & Totes stamp set
  • Cloud Cover cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 5-1/4 x 4 panel
    • 2-3/4 x 1-1/4 for sentiment label
  • Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 6 squares for hexagon die cuts
  • Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Cloud Cover 3/8" Faux Linen Ribbon
  • Cloud Cover Flat Pearls
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Die cut six hexagons from DSP.  Arrange with a very small space between each hexagon, onto Basic White cardstock panel, adhere, trim off excess.  
Wrap ribbon around panel, tie into knot. Adhere to folded card front.
Ink sentiment, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, adhere over ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Embellish.


Top card: Petal Pink base & ink, Misty Moonlight ribbon, Dear Dots embellishment.
Bottom card: Peach Pie base, Peach Pie & Flirty Flamingo ink, White ribbon colored with Flirty Flamingo ink, sentiment from Fabulous Phrases (no longer available).  Strawberry Slush embellishments.


Top card: Darling Duckling base and ink, Darling Duckling ribbon and embellishments, Notes & Totes sentiment
Bottom card: Balmy Blue base and ink, Mossy Meadow/gold ribbon, Notes & Totes sentiment



Top card: Flirty Flamingo base & ink, sparkle dots, white ribbon.  Sentiment from Paradise Garden stamp set.
Bottom card: Pretty In Pink base, Strawberry Slush ink & ribbon, Fabulous Phrases stamp set (no longer available).


These are just a few examples of the many combinations you can make.  As you can see, simply by changing the color assortment, the card base color and inks and accessories, this template can be used for any occasion.

Paradise Garden Mixed Up Patterns Woven Strips Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Paradise Garden stamp and die bundle and Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Papers (DSP).



Techniques include weaving paper strips and coloring embellishments with Stampin' Blends.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Did you know Stampin' Dimensionals are a little bit thicker than Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  You will notice in the instructions below for adhering the flowers and leaves that I specify the full sized Stampin' Dimensionals for the flowers and the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals for the leaves.  Not only do the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals fit under the individual leaves but they also sit about a cardstock thickness lower, so they tuck under the flower edges nicely.   

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Paradise Garden bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Daffodil Delight cardstock 
    • card base 4-1/4 x 11 scored & folded at 5-1/2    OR    5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 5-1/4 x 4 panel
    • 2-15/16 x 1
    • scraps for flower and leaf die cuts
  • Balmy Blue cardstock
    • 3 1-1/16
  • Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 4 x 5/8 yellow/white stripe & white flowers on blue
    • 5-1/2 x 5/8 white on yellow floral & white pattern on blue
  • Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Lemon Lime Twist Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends 
  • Moody Palette Glossy Dots
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere Basic White cardstock panel to folded card front.  

Weaving pieces of DSP requires a little forethought when applying the adhesive.  There is no one piece that you lay flat against the card, as each one has to be free of adhesive where another piece will slide under it.  To make placement of the strips stationary, apply adhesive on the first two-thirds to secure the strip in place.  After they are in place, then do the weaving of the strips, and carefully lift up the ends and apply adhesive to the cardstock the strips are on and press down to hold in place.  Finally, apply adhesive to the ends of the strips on top to secure them down.


Ink small flower stamp with Balmy Blue, stamp off once, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Repeat once.  Ink large flower stamp with Balmy Blue, stamp off once, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Ink 3-leaf stem with Lemon Lime Twist, stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Repeat once.  Die cut all pieces.


Ink sentiment with Daffodil Delight, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, adhere to Balmy Blue cardstock.

Adhere sentiment label to upper left of Basic White cardstock panel on card front.  Adhere the three flowers directly below the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals, with the largest flower in the center.  Adhere the two leaf stems at each end of the flowers with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, trimming off stems and tucking them under the edge of the flower.


 Color a small and large white glossy dot with Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend, adhere at upper left of sentiment label.  Embellish center of each flower with white glossy dot.
