Welcome to the September 2023 Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop. Thank you for visiting my page. The Inspirations In Ink team is a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators world-wide who have banned together to provide you with inspiration for creating handmade cards.
Today’s Hop is featuring the Translucent Florals Bundle. The DistINKtive stamps allow for stamping beautifully detailed cards. The dies allow the addition of depth and movement to cards. Whether creating either a simple or elaborate card, this set is impressive while being easy to use.
Today’s card focuses on simple stamping. Enjoy!
Let’s begin by taking a look at the Translucent Floral Bundle.
This card is easy to create, so let’s get started.
Color palette for this card: Basic White, Boho Blue, Lemon Lime Twist, & Shaded Spruce. DSP: 2023-2025 In Color DSP.
Front
Cut all the pieces according to measurements listed below.
Stamp the “Congratulation” sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White Scrap.
Cut the left and right edges of the sentiment label at an angle.
Adhere the sentiment label to Boho Blue scrap. Cut around the Basic White sentiment label to create a Boho Blue mat.
Stamp the large leaf branch in Lemon Lime Twist ink, centered on the small Basic White mat.
Stamp the twig branch twice in Shaded Spruce ink, lining up the bottom of the twig branches with the bottom of the leaf branch.
Punch the corners of the focal mat with the angled edge of the Very Best Trio punch.
Insert 1 of the Boho Blue mats into the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and run it through the SCEM (Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine).
Adhere the DSP to the coordinating Basic White mat.
Center the focal mat from top to bottom and adhere 3/8″ (1cm) from the left edge of the compiled DSP mat.
Flip mat over and place Tear & Tape on the left and right edges by the bottom point of the focal mat.
Wrap 1 pieces of Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon around the front of the mat and adhere to Tear & Tape on the back. Repeat with 2nd piece of ribbon making sure it butts up tightly to the other piece.
Center the compiled mat on the embossed Boho Blue mat and adhere.
Adhere the compiled mat to the Thick Basic White card base.
Add Tear & Tape to the back of the sentiment label and adhere, centered, to the Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon.
Color 7 small Iridescent Pearls with the dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and add them to the stamped twig images as berries.
