I love seeing pictures from around the world of trees in full bloom. So I wanted to create a card that brings out that Springtime happiness with the Forever Blossoms Bundle and the Healing Hugs stamp set.
I love how the new blossoms stamp matches the leaves on the Magnolia Lane paper. I hope today’s card inspires you to get creative and make happy mail for those you love.
Let’s start with the basic layers you will need to create this card.
Dimensions for all layers:
Blushing Bride cardstock base: 11″ x 4 1/4″
Mossy Meadow cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″
Magnolia Lane DSP: 5″ x 3 3/4″
Blushing Bride cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
Whisper White scraps for stamping blossoms and sentiment.
For stamping the flowers, I used Tuxedo Black Momento Ink.
Just a quick little video to show you how I used the sponge daubers to color the blossoms and leaves:
I love, love, love the Ornate Frames Dies that we carried over from the Holiday catty! I used one of the dies to cut out the sentiment for this card. So many shapes and sizes in this set of dies, and pretty for any layout. Check out the whole set of dies in the ingredients section below.
With our new embossing folders, the blue plate gives the best impression! Item #149658 For layers you only use the base platform, the embossing folder and the blue plate.
I don’t like the poor color quality of this picture, but I wanted to show how I put the ‘Vintage’ into this card. Vintage to me, needs a little distressing to it’s original state, to make it look aged. For this Blushing Bride layer, I embossed the paper first, then, ran it through the die cutting machine to cut out the stitched scalloped rectangle. By running it through after it was embossed it flattens the deep embossed image. Which is what I wanted for this card. If you like the deep embossed image… just cut out the rectangle first and then run it through the folder.
I like to add a couple extra dimensionals in the middle of larger pieces so it doesn’t sag in the middle.
And… Wha La!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and the little tips to make it. I pray that you are staying healthy as well as those around you. ❤️
