Inspiration in Ink BLOG Hoppresents theTimeless Arrangement Bundle

Welcome to the May 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.

The Timeless Arrangements Bundle is the perfect choice for creating clean & simple cards and this month’s card is just that, clean & simple. Since it is the last day of my birthday month I wanted to close out my birthday celebration with another birthday card. Hope this encourages some clean & simple card creations with the Timeless Arrangements Bundle.

Colors for this card include Bubble Bath and Berry Burst, both new colors added to Stampin’ Up!’s core colors at the beginning of the month, as well as highlights with Orchid Oasis, a current In Color.

Card Prep

Cut all the pieces according to the measurements listed in the section below.
Cut a piece of White Bakers Twine long enough to create a tiny double bow.
Color with Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends.
Stamped the exterior sentiment, 2 leaf stalks, and a single flower in Orchid Oasis on the
Basic White scrap. (Be sure to leave plenty of room around the sentiment and the other
images for for die cutting!)
Stamp the interior sentiment on the Basic White mat in Orchid Oasis ink.
Color the leaf images with the Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blends. Color the flowers with
Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends.
Position and secure the fattest rectangular label die around the exterior sentiment.
Position and secure the leaf stalk die around the coordinating images.
Secure both small abstract flower dies to Bubble Bath scrap.
Run all through the SCEM. Repeat as needed to until total amount of each die cut is available.
(Total of each needed: stamped leaf stalks = 3; Orchid Oasis leaf stalk = 1; stamped flower = 1; small abstract flowers = 3)

Card Assembly

Fold and burnish card base. Adhere DSP to coordination Berry Burst mat and adhere to the left side of the card base.
Adhere label to coordinating Berry Burst mat.
Arrange 2 stamped leaf stalks and 2 of the small abstract flowers to the back of the sentiment label. Add dimensionals to the back and adhere slightly left of and below center of the card base.
Add liquid glue to the back of the flower die cut and arrange along the left edge of the sentiment label.
Tie a double bow, add a glue dot to the knot of the bow, and adhere to the stem of the flower.
Adhere the interior mat to the card base.
Arrange the remaining die cuts- 1 Orchid Oasis leaf stalk, 1 stamped leaf stald, and 1 abstract flower- in the lower left corner of interior mat.

Don’t forget to decorate the envelope!

The envelope is where the fun of receiving snail mail begins.

I completed the card by placing a piece of the same paper I used for my card on the envelope flap then stamped a small floral image on the front in the bottom left corner. Then I colored it with the Stampin’ Blends.

Even when done simply, this extra step is guaranteed to make your card stand out among all the other snail mail your family and friend receive.
