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.
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.
Love your three versions using this amazing bundle! Such a lovely color palette using this favorite bundle of mine! x

ReplyDeleteLove how you showed how to add on to a card to make it have more "wow"! All are great!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between the simplest version and the fanciest version- but aren't those Everyday Details dies so pretty on any card you add them to?! (P.S. My birthday is in July...hint, hint...)
