Blossoms in Bloom Sympathy

                                           
Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share for you today is a card I always dread making.  My daughter needed a sympathy card for her friend.  I used the new Blossoms in Bloom bundle available June 3, 2020.  I stamped the flowers in Highland Heather and the leaves in Pool Party.  I traced where the leaves would be from my outline die cut and then used the leaf images to to color the leaves in.  I also did this with two small flowers that are not part of the big floral image, but the die cuts them out.  My outline image was cut from Blackberry Bliss.  The greeting and inside sentiment come from Woven Heirlooms.  The front greeting is stamped with VersaMark ink and embossed with white embossing powder onto Blackberry Bliss.  The double bow is with the crinkle white seam binding.


Here are the measurements for this card:  
Whisper White Thick: 4¼ x 11
Pool Party: 4 x 5½
Whisper White: 3¾ x 5
Blackberry Bliss: 4 x 5½

Here is a supply list for your convenience:

Celebrate Sunflowers


T
Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share for you today includes products from the new 2020-2021 Annual catalog.  I absolutely love this sunflower which comes from the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  I paired some of the new in colors with some of the existing Stampin' UP! colors.

Measurements

Thick Whisper White: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½ for card base
Bumble Bee: 4 x 5¼ and 3½ x 3½
Regals Paper stack: 1½ x 1¾ and 2¼ x 3¼ (Blackberry Bliss)
2020-2022 In color paper stack: 2¼ x 1¾ and 1½ x 3¼ (Just Jade)
Cinnamon Cider: 3½ x 3½
Early Espresso: 1 x 1

Instructions: 
  1. Arrange the designer paper onto the Bumble Bee 4 x 5¼ layer making margins equal and adhere in place.
  2. Adhere the Bumble Bee layer to the card base.
  3. Stamp the large sunflower onto the Bumble Bee 3½ x 3½ layer with Crushed Curry ink.  Cut with the outline sunflower die.
  4. Cut the detail sunflower out from the Cinnamon Cider layer. Adhere to stamped sunflower.
  5. Adhere the sunflower to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  6. Cut the flower center out onto the Early Espresso layer and adhere to center of flower with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  I used white, but I think the black ones would be better.

  8. Using the Stitched Rectangles cut the label out and then stamp the greeting using the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set and Shaded Spruce ink.  Adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
