Country Flowers

This card was made with a new set called Country Flowers in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 50.  The technique is called paper piecing.  I stamped the pot with Early Espresso ink on Basic White cardstock and die-cut it out.  Then I colored the spout and handle with the new In-Color called Petunia Pop.  Then I stamped on the DSP with Early Espresso and cut it out with Paper Snips and adhered to the pot.  I colored the flowers with the new In-color Blends.  I was inspired by Lynn Dunn, but I changed my card with more layers.

Here are my instructions: 


Stamp Set:  Country Flowers

Cardstock:  Petunia Pop, Basic White, 2024-2026 6” x 6” In-Color DSP

Ink:  Petunia Pop, Early Espresso

Stampin’ Blends:  Petunia Pop, Shy Shamrock, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Country Flowers Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, 2024-2024 In-Color Shimmer Gems

 

1.     The base of the card is Petunia Pop cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Cut Basic White cardstock at 2-3/4”x 3-3/4” and ink up Best.Friend.Ever. with Early Espresso ink at towards the bottom.

4.    Cut Petunia Pop cardstock at 2-7/8” x 3-7/8” and layer the Basic White onto it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Adhere Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the front of the card.

5.    On a scrap of Basic White, ink up the pot with Early Espresso ink.  Color the handle and spout with the Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blend.  Die-cut with the Country Flowers Dies.

6.    Ink up the pot with Early Espresso ink and stamp on the Petunia Pop DSP.  Trim it out with the Paper Snips on the line and adhere to the pot with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. (Paper Piecing). Attach the pot with Stampin’ Dimensionals above the sentiment.

7.    On another scrap of Basic White, ink up the flowers with Early Espresso ink and color them with the Stampin’ Blends. Die-cut with the Country Flowers Dies.  Attach to the pot with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Add the Gems.

Simply Zinnia - Comforting Thoughts

I used the last of my retiring 2022-2024 In-Color Orchid Oasis to do the base of this card. It was such a beautiful color.  Then I used the other retiring 2022-2024 In-Color Starry Sky and embossed it with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder.  The other colors are retiring In-Color Starry Sky.  Then I used the current colors Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie for die-cutting the flowers with the dies from the Simply Zinnia Bundle.  The sentiment is from Comforting Thoughts.  Both of these can't be found in any of the catalogs but can be purchased Online.  The card sample was created by Kathy Bedell.

Supremely Awesome Round Metal Decor

 

This is another project they made on Sunday's club.  It is a Galvanized Metal Bottle Cap that I got at Dollar Tree.  I used the Deckled Circle Dies to adhere inside.  The original idea came from Debra Harrison.  The stamp set was sold out so it's no longer available.  Here is what I used to make this cute decor that I purchased at Dollar Tree.  They are Online.

Supremely Awesome

We had a pizza party on Sunday with my card club group.  They brought pizza's and I supplied the fun.  We even played Pizza Bingo and prizes were some of my retired stamp sets as well as a few other items for stamping.  The card uses a checkered red napkin cut at 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" for the background because I didn't have enough 6" x 6" Bright's DSP for everyone.  Unfortunately, it took a lot of planning this month and the stamp set is no longer available.  I don't usually demo a card that is retired, but it was completely sold out by the time we had the workshop.  If you are lucky enough to have this set, then maybe you can have fun making this card.  Here are the instructions that I used:

Stamps:  Supremely Awesome

Cardstock:  Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Thick Basic White, Basic White, Red Checkered Napkin or Bright’s 6” x 6” DSP

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Poppy Parade

Stampin’ Blends:  Smoky Slate, Ivory, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Real Red or Poppy Parade

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, Scalloped Contours Dies, Classic Matte Dots, Paper Snips, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Sponge or Blending Brush

 

1.     The card base is Poppy Parade cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    Emboss a 4” x 5-1/4” Thick Basic White cardstock.

3.    Die-cut an approx. 2-1/2” circle with the Stylish Shapes dies toward mid-bottom of embossed layer.

4.    Adhere a 3-3/4” x 3-3/4” checkered napkin (or red dot print from Bright’s DSP) towards mid-bottom of Poppy Parade card front, making sure to line up with embossed layer so none of the edges show.

5.    Adhere embossed white layer with lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

6.    Die-cut a 1-1/4” x 4” piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and cut with the Scalloped Contours Die.

7.    Stamp “You’re supremely awesome” with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the scalloped layer.  Adhere at the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Stamp a checker board stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink or Poppy Parade on Basic White cardstock.  Cut out a ½” x 4” strip and adhere at the bottom of the embossed layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

9.    Stamp pizza guy on Thick Basic White with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Color in with the Blends and then manually cut him out, cutting off his pants.  Insert inside the right side of the circle adhering with Dimensionals.

10.  Add (3) Classic Matte Dots to the front.

11.   Inside: Adhere a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock inside and add a ¾” x 4” strip of the checkered stamp across the lower bottom with Poppy Parade.  If you have the Bright’s DSP, you can add the Poppy Parade DSP, if you prefer.
