A Splendid Day Card for Any Occasion

Greetings!

Do you have a stamp set that you just love because there's so many ways to use it, and you find yourself reaching for it again and again?  The Splendid Thoughts stamp set is the one that falls in that category for me.  This stamp set is part of the Splendid Day Suite, which includes dies, gorgeous Designer Series Papers that are a variety of colors with one side of each paper being metallic or pearlized, a beautiful ribbon and coppery colored metal trinkets.   The entire collection is stunning!

This collection was an early release for demonstrators, so we had a chance to play with it before the release of the July-December 2022 mini catalog.  Not only was it an early release, but it was also featured in a special online event exclusive to demonstrators, providing the opportunity to receive great ideas and inspiration for us to share with you; our valued customers.  It's one of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  This card is one of the projects we all made together in June and I love it so much I simply had to share it :).


Isn't it gorgeous!  I love the soft color palette and the artistry of the stamps as well as the dies.  Isn't the little half circle piece adorable as the container for the leafy arrangement.   This card can easily be a  thank you, sympathy, wedding or bridal shower, thinking of you, a simple hello and more.  There's so much versatility to this entire collection.  I hope you find it's worth adding to your collection and I'm sure you'll find many ways to use all the beautiful components.  

After you are finished checking out this card and seeing how it was made, make sure you keep on scrolling to see the wonderful promotion happening this month.  It's a fantastic time to sign up to become a demonstrator and take advantage of the wonderful extra products you can get FREE this month only.  You too can have the opportunity to get sneak peaks, endless inspiration from sister demonstrators and a fun community to be part of.

Here's How It's Made:
Ink large leaf fill stamp with Soft Sea Foam, stamp off once, then stamp in upper middle area of Soft Sea Foam cardstock panel.  Allow ink to completely dry for a minute.  Ink large leaf outline stamp with Versamark and stamp over leaf fill stamp - the image will not line up completely.  Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over outline stamped image, shake off excess, and heat set with Heat Tool.

Heat embossing is magic!  Add embossing powder to wet ink or Versamark™ inked images, apply heat from the heat tool until you see the powder liquify and turn into a solid enamel looking word or image.  It's the wow technique of stamping.

Ink rounded leaf fill stamp with Versamark and stamp onto Soft Sea Foam panel randomly near edges to create background.  Make sure to re-ink between each stamping.  Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over all stamped images, shake off excess, and heat set with Heat Tool.


Die cut small open 3-leaf plant from white on silver foil DSP print and adhere on top of stamped and embossed plant layers.  Adhere Open Leaf Trinket with a mini glue dot.

Die cut Basic White cardstock with half circle die.  Wrap a 3-1/2" Soft Sea Foam ribbon around front just below top flat edge, adhere ribbon ends in back with mini glue dots.  Slip one end of White Baker's Twine under center front of ribbon, wrap around ribbon and tie into a bow.  Adhere finished piece to front at base of leaves as shown below:


Adhere finished panel to Basic White card base front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
