Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature — Hello!
Here I am using Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set again. It along with Sketched Butterflies are my favorites I believe. I made my own Designer Series Paper using two of the stamp from the stamp set.
I am entering Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge — Any Occasion
The card base is Basic White card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Use a Bone folder and give the 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″ score lines a good crease. This will create a Z fold.
Using the two stamps from Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature I stamped the design on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Pool Party cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink. I cut the Pool Party piece at 2″ creating two pieces. They are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as you can see in the photo above. One on the front left of the Z fold and the other on the right side of the inside panel.
I stamped the flower image from Spotlight On Nature stamp set in Versa Mark on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, sprinkled White Embossing Poweder over the stamped image and heat set using a heat tool. I colored the flowers using White Craft ink, let dry thoroughly then colored with Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Mossy Meadow ink and a Water painter.
Once the Crumb Cake piece is dry, mat on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhere to the left side of the Z fold, making sure to put glue only on the portion of the Crumb Cake piece that will be glued to the left side of the Z fold. If you put glue on the entire piece you will glue your card closed. You can see in the above photo, how the piece is adhered.
Add a strip of the Designer Series Paper across the art piece, adding a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves.
Make a bow ( I call this bow a Mary Deatherage bow, as she is the one who showed me how to make it) from Linen Thread and adhere to the corner of the greeting. Add gems around the card front and inside using gems from Tinsel Gems Four Pack.
On a piece of 2″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves and Country Birdhouse Stamp Sets in Pretty Peacock ink. On the left panel, adhere butterflies that have been die cut using a die from Sketched Butterflies.
This is how the card looks opened all the way.
I also made a piece of Designer Series Paper for the Basic White envelope flap.
I am happy you stop by today. I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you wilbe inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
