Instructions for Pansy Mother’s Day Card

Here is my Mother’s Day card for the Canada Inks Up Blog Hop and the card instructions

Stamps: Pansy Petals, Timeless Tulips

Dies: Pansy Die, Scalloped Contour Dies

Inks: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, So Saffron, Bumblebee, Evening Evergreen, Garden Green, Smokey Slate and Memento Black.

Paper Products: Highland Heather, Basic White card stock.

Other Products: Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder, Gold 1/4″ Ribbon, Bumblebee Trinkets, Metallic Pearls, Wink of Stella, glue dots, dimensionals.

Instructions to make the Card

  1. Card base is Highland Heather 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4, using a landscape fold.
  2. Basic White card stock cut at 4 x 5-1/4 and embossed with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder. Lightly sponge some of the bricks with a sponge dauber using Smokey Slate Ink. Attach this layer to the card base with Stampin Seal.
  3. To stamp the large pansy, I stamped the large detailed pansy first using Gorgeous Grape (I found it easier to see the different layers doing the detailed stamp first) then stamped the background stamp in Highland Heather. The face of the pansy I stamped in So Saffron then the next layer in Memento Black and the center is stamped in Bumblebee.
  4. To stamp the small pansy I stamped the detailed layer first in Gorgeous Grape and the background in Highland Heather. The face of the pansy is in Gorgeous Grape and center is Bumblebee.
  5. The leaves I also found it easier to stamp the darker layer first using Evening Evergreen and then the background in Garden Green.
  6. Die cut the pansies and leaves out using the Pansy Dies.
  7. I assembled the pansies and leaves to the card using dimensionals.
  8. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulip stamp set stamped in Gorgeous Grape and then die cut using the new Scalloped Contours Dies. I also die cut out a Highland Heather layer using the same die and then glued them together and attached to the card using Stampin Seal.
  9. Fold and tuck a small piece of the Gold 1/4″ ribbon under the pansy cluster using glue dots.
  10. For a little bling I used the Metallic Gold Pearls and the cute Bumblebee Trinket attaching it with glue dots.
  11. I brushed a little Wink of Stella on the pansy faces.

Canada Inks Up Team Blog Hop

The Canada Inks Up Team Blog Hop challenge was to use products from the Annual and January to June Mini catalogues.

I decided to do a Joy Fold Card and to start with the Forever and Always bundle and see where it went from there. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Here are the instructions for the card.

  1. Card base Misty Moonlight card stock cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2.
  2. Sea Side Spray card stock cut at 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 and attached it to middle of the inside of card with liquid glue.
  3. Inside was a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock cut at 8 x 3 scored at 4″, glued to the top of the Sea Side Spray layer.
  4. Basic White that was 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 for the area to write on.
  5. Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Acetate cut at 2 3/4 x 4, but I used the flip side of the acetate showing the silver side. I sponged some liquid glue on the wrong side, by doing the sponging of the glue it spread a thin layer of glue all over the acetate therefore the glue did not show through the acetate. I then attached the acetate to the short side on the outside of the card base.
  6. Silver Foil 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and attached it the Misty Moonlight flip fold of the card with liquid glue.
  7. Building the focal point I started with the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies in Midnight Madness and then die cut the next sized die in Sea Side Spray.
  8. The Mercury Glass Acetate is cut about 3/4 x 3 1/4 and flagged on both ends and glued onto the middle of the Midnight Madness Stitched So Sweetly die with Stampin Seal. The Sea Side Spray die is attached over the top of the Misty Moonlight with dimensionals and then it is all attached to the silver layer with dimensionals.
  9. The word Love is die cut in Silver Foil from the Always Die set and then attached with liquid glue.
  10. The flower is from the True Love Designer Series paper which I colored with light and dark Misty Moonlight Blenders and light snd dark Granny Apple Green Blends. It was attached with dimensional and liquid glue.
  11. Metallic Silver Pearls to finish off my card.
