Today I’m sharing a card that I designed for my March Stamp Club gathering. All the projects we made used the newest Sale-a-bration items. This one uses the 6×6 Glimmer Assortment, which you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase, but only while supplies last! I also used the All Things Thanks stamp set, the Flourish Thinlits Dies, May Flowers Framelits Dies, and Aqua Painters. I used Shimmery White card stock (CS,) instead of the regular Whisper White CS, because you can watercolor on it without any pilling.
Also, today a group of us are being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from Australia, and you can actually VOTE for my card. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop next month, so please vote for my card. You can do that here.
Our theme for this highlight is the All Things Thanks stamp set. It’s a wonderful stamp set with so many gorgeous sentiments, and we wanted to highlight how versatile it really is. You can see another card I’ve made with this stamp set here. Make sure you head over to Kylie’s blog to vote for my card. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with the Stampin’ Trimmer:
- So Saffron card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Basic Black CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Shimmery White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Stamped with the All Things Thanks stamp set:
- sentiment in Basic Black Archival ink
Die cut using the Flourish Thinlits :
- leaf shape from Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper
Die cut using the May Flowers Framelits:
- flower from Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper
Cut using the 1/2″ Circle Punch:
- So Saffron CS for the flower center
Used Aqua Painters to watercolor:
- Mint Macaron ink onto the Shimmery White CS, where the die cut leaves would go
- Sweet Sugarplum ink onto the Shimmery White CS, where the die flower would go
- NOTE: I used a drop of each color ink from the Refills, but you can also use the ink pads. I have both listed at the bottom of this post
Assembled the card:
- 1/2″ So Saffron circle glued onto the back of the flower
- Glimmer Paper leaf and flower glued over the watercolored areas of the Shimmery White CS
- Shimmer White CS glued onto the Basic Black CS
- Basic Black CS glued onto the So Saffron card base
