It’s time once again for the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop. The theme for this month’s Blog Hop is Florals. I decided to use the Everyday Details stamp set. I wanted to add some larger flowers to the cups as well. After a lengthily search, I decided the little flower from the Nature’s Prints (soon to retire), looked similar to the flowers in the tea cup and that they would work. The little leaves are from the Irresistible Bloom stamp set. The tag is from the Tailored Made Tags (which will also be retiring). The sentiment is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set (retiring soon)

Cutting and Instructions to create this card:

1. Card base is Pool Party card stock cut 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. The front of the card is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
3. Cut a piece of the Pool Party 6×6 Assortment Designer Series pack 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, adhere directly to the card base with liquid glue
4. On a piece of Basic White card stock, stamp 3 of the tea cups images from the Everyday Details, some of the small flower from the Nature’s Prints stamp set and some small leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set all in Tuxedo Black Memento ink
5. Color the images with Stamp Blends. I used light and dark Pool Party, light and dark Daffodil Delight, light and dark Granny Apple Green
6. Fussy cut the images out and add them to the card with dimensionals. Stacking the cup above each other
7. Stamp a sentiment in Pool Party ink onto a piece of Basic White card stock
8. Die cut the sentiment using the Tailored Made Tags
9. Add some of the small leaves to the tag
10. Color a piece of Silver Sheer ribbon with dark Pool Party Stampin Blends and insert it into the tag hole. Color a piece of the White twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials pack in Pool Party and tie around the piece of ribbon to secure it to the tag
11. Add the tag to the card with dimensionals
12. Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish the card

Welcome to the April Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

It’s time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. I am so happy to be able to participate in this month’s Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Spotlighting. This technique is when you cut out a portion of your stamped card layer with either a die or a punch and color only the portion that has been removed from the card layer and then pop it back onto the card with dimensionals.

I used the Apple Harvest stamp set and punched it out with the Stylish Shape Circle dies. The image is colored with Stampin Blends. Here is my finished card.

Cutting and Instructions:

1. Card base is Old Olive card stock, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ , scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Cut Pecan Pie card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″, adhere directly to the card base with liquid glue
3. Cut Basic White card stock 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
4. Stamp the apple images from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Basic White layer
5. Use the 3rd largest circle die and die cut out the portion of the image you want to spotlight
6. Color only the image that was die cut, with Stampin Blends. I used light and dark Real Red, light and dark Sweet Sorbet, light and dark Old Olive and light Daffodil Delight
7. Attach the Basic White card layer to the card base with liquid glue
8. Place the colored image back into the hole of the Basic White layer with dimensionals, making sure to line it up exactly
9. On a strip of Basic White cardstock cut at 1/2″ x 4″, stamp a sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink
10. Cut a strip of Real Red card stock 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ and layer under the Basic White layer with liquid glue. Add the sentiment to the card with dimensionals
11. Color some of the white Classic Matte Dots, red using the Real Red Stampin Blend and place them on the finished card
