Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments — Hey There
I am using Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set, Timbers 3-D Embossing Folder, and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper to create the card I am sharing today.
I am entering the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this card. Their theme is Spring and I believe the flowers on my card are springy.
- Start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ Basic White card stock card base. Cut 3-1/4″ off the bottom of the card front. From the piece cut off, cut five 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ strips. Cut the strip that is left in half, this gives you two strips that will be used to anchor the other strips together.
- With the sticky side out adhere a piece of Washi Tape to the middle of the card front so you can position the strips on the card front.
- Start at the bottom for the first strip, next place a strip at the top, leaving a space between the strip and the card base. Place a strip in the middle.
- Wait until you have all the strips positioned before pressing down on the tape. If you need to adjust the space between the strips it will be easier to do if they are not stuck tight to the Washi Tape.
- Place a dot of Liquid Glue on both sides on each strip . Adhere the two narrow strips, one to each side of the lattice. I waited until I had both strips in place so I could adjust if necessary.
- Turn the card base over so the Washi Tape is showing and gently remove the tape. Pressing down on each strip as you pull the tape will help prevent tearing the card stock.
- This is how the card front looks after you have finished with all the strips and trimming the excess from the bottom of the card.
- Cut a piece of a window sheet 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ and adhered to the inside of the lattice front. I did this for stability. I did not do this on other cards I made. You can see a fun fold I made using this technique here.
I fussy cut flowers from Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (soon to be retired). I die cut two vines from Mossy Meadow card stock using a die from Dainty Flower Dies. A butterfly is die cut from a scrap of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using a die from Brilliant Wings Dies (soon to be retired).
I arranged the two vines die cut from the Mossy Meadow card stock on the card front starting at the bottom right corner. I layered the fussy cut flowers from Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper over the vines. After I had them arranged the way I wanted, I took a picture so I could remember placement when I adhered them to the card from. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the vines and Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the flowers over the vines.
I added the Brilliant Wings butterfly to the right side of the lattice then stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock a greeting using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set. Add three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front, placing one on the butterfly.
I stamped a sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink using a die from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set. Around the sentiment, I adhered a Mossy Meadow vine and flowers fussy cut from Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I adhered two larger flowers to the bottom of the lattice over the window sheet using Glue Dots. I also used Glue Dots adhering the flowers over the vine.
A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.
