Stampin’ Up! Botanical Bliss
Happy Saturday, I hope you are staying and staying safe. Boring isn’t it when we are forced to do it! What is it we often say, if only I had a little more time to get things done! Well, you have it now!!
My card today features a stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog Botanical Bliss and if I remember correctly it may even be from 2018 but it is still a current stamp. Since it 2018, it will probably be a retiree this year. I loved this set especially the dies, so if you find that you like it, you may want to go ahead and purchase while you can. Two stamp sets from the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog are used for the sentiment, Peaceful Moments and Honey Bee.
The inspiration for my challenge comes from Time out Challenge –Lots or a Little Purple –use purple for Epilepsy Awareness.
.Start with a Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock card base with a panel of the same embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder. For me, it is easier to emboss a separate panel and adhere to the card base than to try and emboss the front of the card base.
Cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and emboss using the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Embossing Folder. Next, crop 2 bird die cuts (a bird from the second panel will be used later) from a panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock using the bird die from the Botanical Tag Dies. On this cropped panel stamp Happy Birthday in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink using the stamp from Botanical Bliss. Pop this on the Whisper White embossed panel using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp three flowers from the stamp set on scraps of Whisper White card stock again using the black ink. Color the flowers using Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends in Light Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Dark Highland Heather and Light Mango Melody for the flowers. Arrange the three flowers across the bottom of the Gorgeous Grape cropped panel. Pop the bird in the corner of the Whisper White panel. Wrap a length of the Stampin’ Up! Tricolor Ribbon around the panel, adhere on the back of the panel using tape. Make a bow and pop over the ribbon. Add two Stampin’ Up! Nobel Peacock Rhinestones and a Pearl Basic Jewel to the card front and it is finished.
On a panel of Whisper White card stock stamp two flowers in opposite corners and color using the same Stampin’ Blends as I used on the card front. Stamp the sentiments using stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and the Honey Bee Stamp Set in black ink. Adhere the panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Give the flap of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope a panel of Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper and your card project is finished.
