Quiet Meadow bundle Sympathy card




Hello, welcome to my blog.  My share for you today is a card I am using for a sympathy card, but you could use it for any occasion.  I love sparkle and bling and this card definitely has that.  I have had the Rainbow Glimmer paper for awhile as it is a carry-over item from last year's annual catalog.  I don't use it often, but thought I would pair it with a layer of Basic Black.  I love the contrast it provides.

Measurements:
Rich Razzleberry: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½ for the card base
Basic Black: 4¼ x 5½ (2 pieces) and ¾ x 5
Rainbow Glimmer paper: 3¼ x 4-9/16
Basic White: 3¼ x 4-9/16  
Black Glittered Organdy ribbon: 4¼ and about 8"

Instructions: 
  1. Using the Scallop Contours die, use the largest scalloped rectangle and cut both pieces of Basic Black.
  2. With the Meadows dies cut 2 of the images from the Rainbow Glimmer paper.  On one of them, the stem was too long soi positioned my cutting plate where I wanted the stem to end so that I could have a small border at the bottom of the glimmer paper.  I then used my snips and cut the stem.
  3. Adhere the glimmer paper to one of the Basic Black scallop rectangles.
  4. Cut the long skinny die from the ¾ strip of Basic Black and adhere to the glimmer paper. I used liquid glue, but you could also use adhesive sheets.
  5. Wrap the 4¼ piece of ribbon around the glimmer paper, going through one of the scallops on each side.  Adhere to back of layer, then adhere to card base.
  6. Tie a bow into the 8" ribbon and adhere to card front.
  7. Scatter a few of the Artistry Blooms sequins to card front.
  8. For the inside, stamp the flower bouquet image in Coastal Cabana ink and then the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry.
  9. Adhere inside layer to the other Basic Black scalloped rectangle and then to inside card base.
  10. Stamp the flower bouquet onto your envelope as well with Coastal Cabana.

Color & Contour Bundle


Hello stamping friends.  My share for you today uses the Color & Contour Bundle found on page 98 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.  I absolutely love this bundle.  The flowers are whimsical and have a great watercolor look.  I think the dies that go with this bundle are amazing!!  There are dies that cut the flowers, but there are also 5 different scalloped rectangles and a large scallop border die.  All of the rectangles have different features about them.  They have open scallops, tiny dots, stitching, open lines you can weave paper or ribbon through and a scallop with open dots.  I used the scallop stitched die for this project.  I love black with a pop of color so my color of choice today is Polished Pink, one of the new In-Colors for 2021-2023.  I have all of the measurements and instructions below, as well as a complete shopping list that will add all items into your shopping cart.

Measurements: 
Basic Black: 8½ x 5½ scored at 4¼ for the card base, 5 x 3¾
Polished Pink: 4 x 5¼
Basic White: 4 x 2¾, 4 x 5¼, 5½ x 2
Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon: 4½ & 8"

Instructions:  
  1. Emboss the right side of the Polished Pink layer with Meadow Moments folder and adhere to card base.
  2. Emboss the right side of the Basic Black layer with the Meadow Moments folder.  Wrap the 4½" piece of ribbon around this layer and adhere to card front.
  3. Cut the Basic White 4 x 2¾ layer with the stitched scalloped rectangle.  Randomly stamp the leaf image with Soft Succulent ink.  Adhere to card front on the left side.
  4. Stamp 3 of the outline flowers onto the 5½ x 2 Basic White layer.  Leave enough room to die cut them.  Stamp the full flower image in Polished Pink over the outline images.   Cut flowers with coordinating die.  Adhere two of the flowers directly onto the rectangle, one at the top and one at the bottom.  Then adhere the final flower to the center with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  5. Tie a bow in the 8" ribbon and adhere to card front with glue dots.
  6. Randomly scatter some Polished Pink In-Color Jewels onto the card front.
  7. For the inside, stamp one flower and two leaves.
  8. Stamp a flower onto the envelope in the left corner.
