New At SU! Blog Hop - Stippled Roses

 


Welcome to the February New At SU! Blog Hop!

This month we will be sharing projects made with the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog products. We all will be showing you simple and stepped up project designs. I will be using the Stippled Roses Bundle, which includes the Stippled Roses Stamp Set and the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. I will also be using the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (DSP), a FREE Sale-A-Bration product that could be yours with a $50 Purchase in my store. 


I prepped all of my cards ahead of time. I stamped the floral image 3 times with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White Thick Cardstock. I went ahead and die cut the images. I also stamped 3 birthday sentiments on 5/16" Basic White Strips and cut them all to 2 5/8" lengths.  My card bases are Basic White Thick Cardstock. The card fronts are from the Softly Stippled DSP.

For the simple/beginner card I I adhered the card front to the card base with liquid glue. I popped up the floral image with Stampin' Dimensionals onto the card front then added the sentiment strip with a Dimensional on the right and a glue dot on the left.


The casual card has been slightly stepped up by adding a mat layer of Calypso Coral Cardstock to the card front & the sentiment strip. I added a little Wild Wheat Ink to the greenery in the image with a Wink Of Stella Brush. To embellish this card a bit I added a Calypso Coral Baker's Twine Bow and a few Iridescent Foil Gems.


For the stepped up/avid card I used the Everyday Detail Dies to add a die cut rectangle under the floral image. I colored the image with a Wink of Stella Brush using Wild Wheat Ink for the greenery and Calypso Coral Ink for the flowers. I simply used the built in shadow areas on the image for my coloring guide.

Be sure to go to each of the blog stops. I'm sure you will find a lot of inspiration for stepping up your cards. Or how to keep them simple. Thank you for stopping by.
