A BOUQUET OF GALLERY BLOOMS

Do you ever finish a card and sit back and sigh with delight? That’s what happened when I finished this one. It’s not quite the picture I had in mind when I started, but guess what: IT’S BETTER. That doesn’t happen every time!

  • Stamps: Gallery Blooms, Beautiful Motifs
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Strawberry Slush, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Gallery Blooms dies, Dauber, Blender Pens, paint brush, Bakers Twine 3 color pack, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Gallery Blooms are perfect for coloring, and I chose to use Blender Pens. It’s been a while since I pulled them out. but I wanted more control over the shading. I was quite happy with the results, and to be honest, it was faster and easier than using Stampin’ Blends in this case!

I Inked and colored the largest flower with Highland Heather ink, but the spray was inked in Melon Mambo and then colored with Strawberry Slush. With those small, repeated blossoms, I found I liked the deeper outline.

The final touch was ink splatters with a paint brush. Smash the closed lid of your ink pad to transfer ink to the lid. Open it and add a few drops of water. Pick up that dilute solution with a paint brush and splish splash!

It’s easier than it looks. Give it a try! All products are available in the Online Store.

ATTENTION SHOPPERS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I’ve had a LOT of fun with Attention Shoppers, and I haven’t even touched the shopping cart yet! I love the images of things to put INTO the cart (the sign of a true shopper, I guess).

  • Stamps: Attention Shoppers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Attention Shoppers dies, Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder, Bakers Twine 3 Color Pack, Stampin’ Blends, Country Lace DSP, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is one of my favorite fun folds. It’s called Z-Fold, and it’s easy to customize. You begin with a card stock base measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score it at 5 1/2″. Score again at 2 3/4″ and fold that scored portion back so the card base makes a “Z” figure. Adhere a panel (this is a 3″ x 4″ rectangle but almost any shape will work) to the front portion (that you’ve folded back) and you’re ready to embellish.

The cakes are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and they’re popped up on Dimensionals. I used the Flirty Flamingo Bakers Twine from the Three Color Pack around that front panel. A layer behind the front panel is embossed with the Dotted Circles EF to coordinate with the circles in the DSP.
