Final Painted Blooms Card

Leave a reply

The title sounds so final. I could make more, since I have more of the paper, but this is the last of the six cards from the one piece of DSP. The DSP is still available until June 2.

Stampin' Up! Painted Blooms and Painted Petals

The sentiment comes from the Painted Petals set; the one that I’m most upset to see retiring from the Occasions catalogue. I stamped it in mossy meadow on whisper white and cut it out using the oval framelits. This made it easy to cut a mossy meadow mat using the next largest oval. I then stuck the DSP onto the mossy meadow card base and used stampin’ dimensionals to attach the ovals so that they had a little height. The envelope flap is lined with the backgrounds DSP in mossy meadow.

I got an exciting email from Stampin’ Up! today – there’s a one day offer (ending at 6:50 MT tonight) on Paper Pumpkin. This is a monthly kit that comes to your door and the box contains everything you need for a project (except adhesive) including instructions so you can, as they say, skip to the fun. Normally it’s $19.95 + tax but if you sign up today, it’s $5 + tax. Since the kit also contains a stamp set and ink, you easily get your money’s worth normally, but for $5, it’s a no brainer! If you want to sign up, click on the red paper pumpkin button and just wait for your kit to be delivered!

Painted Petals for the Pals

3 Replies

I’ve been back from Spain for three weeks now – it feels like months! – but haven’t really got back into doing many challenges. I decided to change that today. Especially as yesterday I sat down to have some fun carding and couldn’t create anything. Perhaps I’m just too distracted with the thought that my pre-order containing my new supplies, including the new in colors is on the way.

Stampin' Up! Painted Petals

I’m very sad that the Painted Petals set didn’t make it into the new upcoming annual catalogue and so I may possibly be over using this set at the moment! I stamped the flowers in hello honey on very vanilla cardstock and added the stems in the coastal cabana. I then used my aquapainter and baked brown sugar to slightly darken the parts of the flowers which are supposed to be darker. I used the stampin’ write markers in hello honey and baked brown sugar to colour in the sentiment, breathing on the stamp to remoisten the ink before stamping. This card was calling out to be square, so I went with it – it’s fun and easy to make an envelope with the punch board. I changed up the layers a bit – I realised that I normally have only 1/16″ or 1/8″ showing for the mat so decided to do something different i.e. bigger. I like how it draws your eye to the centre of the card which is, after all, the focal point.

Finally the Painted Petals stripes

I’ve been wanting to use the three lines in the painted petals set for a while but they just wouldn’t fit onto a card. Yesterday afternoon, I finally realised what I wanted to do with them. I wanted the sentiment front and centre and very obvious – I have a couple of people that need such cards to be sent to them at the moment.

Stampin' Up! Painted Petals and Lovely Amazing You

I first stamped the sentiment from the Lovely Amazing You set in the middle of the very vanilla card using blackberry bliss ink which I stamped off once onto scrap paper. Then I stamped the lines from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals set in lost lagoon about midway between the edge of the card and the sentiment. One of my favourite tools then came into play – my ruler – so that I could ensure that the second set of lines were at the same distance.

I then decided that the card needed a lost lagoon mat which necessitated some trimming of the very vanilla piece. The stampin’ up! trimmer is great at trimming off little strips. After adhering the very vanilla to the lost lagoon mat I glued it to a blackberry bliss base. A nice easy CAS (clean and simple) card.

Painted Petals and Blooms

This is another of the cards made with a single sheet of the Painted Blooms 12 by 12 DSP. It’s one picture on the paper rather than a repeated pattern so by cutting it into 6 pieces you get half a dozen matching but different cards. Another one is here.

Stampin' Up! Painted Blooms and Painted Petals

This is from the upper part of the paper and this time I stamped the sentiment from Painted Petals directly onto the paper rather than framing it in the background colour. It’s stamped in rose red. Then it’s a simple matter of mounting the DSP onto a rose red card base. It really can’t get much easier to make a card! I lined the envelope in the backgrounds DSP in rose red from the regals family. I can’t believe that the backgrounds are on the retired list but I’m assuming that there will be a replacement.

See you tomorrow,

I just got back from another crop weekend hosted by my upline Jen and a couple of her friends. My best friend Julia and I have spent the last two days making cards, laughing, meeting new people, talking to old friends, somehow getting covered in glitter (and none of my cards have glitter) and making more cards. It was a lot of fun. They provide a good bag and there were a number of sheets of the Painted Blooms DSP in there which is very pretty. I used about a sixth of a sheet to make this card. I’ve seen a number of people make a set of 6 cards using this paper and it seems like a pretty good idea. I decided to use different coloured bases for mine rather than having them all match.

The sentiment is from Painted Petals and a favourite thank you of mine. I love the typeface and the neatness of the sentiment in a block. I stamped it in mossy meadow (although the DSP doesn’t have mossy meadow in it) on whisper white and cut it out using the circles framelits. I then cut up the next size from mossy meadow and glued them together. I popped the circle up using stampin’ dimensionals on the DSP which was adhered to a mossy meadow base. I think it’s rather effective and I’m thrilled to have used some of my DSP so promptly! I should add that Julia managed to use her whole sheet of this one. I’m not quite there yet.

See you tomorrow,
