Beautiful Motifs Thinking of You Spotlight Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & die bundle and the Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder provides the textured background layer.


Techniques include coloring with Blending Brushes.

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

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Bringing your plant die cuts to life with color is a breeze with the Blending Brushes.  Start by die cutting your plant out of Basic White or a light neutral cardstock.  Ink your Blending Brush by brushing it onto your ink pad.  With your die cut piece laying on a piece of grid paper, lightly brush color onto your die cut.  Use a new blending brush, or the other side of the same brush for the second color.  Typically, it is recommended to use small circular motions when applying color, however, with the delicacy of the die cut used on this card, I found it easier to use small straight strokes to apply the color.  When finished with the Blending Brush, run under warm water to remove excess color from the brush, allow to dry, and it is ready for use the next time.

Blending Brushes come in a set of three and are available in two sizes.  The smaller size works better for precision coloring.

Friendly Foliage Sending Love Bouquet Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Friendly Foliage stamp set & die bundle and the Branching Out dies in a lovely bouquet.  The beautiful background paper is a print from the Made With Love Designer Series Papers (DSP).

Techniques include die cutting and embossing.

This card was inspired by a card I saw and fell in love with!  Sadly I don't know who made it so I can't give credit to the designer.  

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

Beverly's Tip of the Day

To get the very best value from your Stampin' Dimensionals use every bit of the sheet.

For this card, the edges from a sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals are perfect to apply along the sides and bottoms of the pot that all the foliage is in.  Using the corners of the sheet of Stamping Dimensionals on the corners of your projects gives a nice firm edge, and leaves space to easily slide in the stems of the pieces to make positioning easy and stress free.

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

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Friendly Foliage bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Branching Out dies 
  • Pretty In Pink cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4

    • 4 x 3 die cut for bouquet backing
    • 2-1/4 x 1/2
    • scraps for foliage (with adhesive sheet attached)
  • Strawberry Slush cardstock
    • 2-7/8 x 2 
    • scraps for foliage (with adhesive sheet attached)
  • Granny Apple Green cardstock
    • scraps for foliage (with adhesive sheet attached)
  • Made With Love Designer Series Paper (DSP)

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