I wanted to use the oval die with dots from the Impressions Abloom dies to create a window for the tulips from the Mixed Florals stamps so created this card to send to a friend, so here is the results.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Granny Apple Green card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Mixed Media Florals designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Mixed Florals Stamps and Dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Mixed Labels Stamps and Dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Impressions Abloom Oval Die (Stampin’ Up)
- Black StazOn ink
- Stampin’ Blends Markers (Stampin’ Up)
- Petal Pink Light and Dark
- Calypso Coral Light
- Granny Apple Green Dark
- Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
Take a piece of Petal Pink card stock and cut it to 4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½” and folded in half. Cut another piece to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”. With your white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card measuring 4” x 5 ¼”. Find the green leafy piece of card stock that has the mini pink flowers and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.
With the oval dotted die from the Impressions Abloom dies and the Petal Pink piece you cut to 3 ½” x 4 ¾” and cut the oval out of the center.
Take a spare piece of white card stock, your Black StazOn in and the large tulips stamp from the Mixed Florals set and stamp. With your Stampin’ Blends use the light Petal Pink to color the tulips and then the dark to highlight. Use the Granny Apple Green to color the stems and leaves and the Calypso Coral to color the small flowers. Use the die to cut out the colored image. Take your piece of Granny Apple green paper and cut out two of the large leaves background with the die from the Mixed Florals dies.
Find your designer series paper piece you cut and adhere it to the front of your Petal Pink card base. Take the frame you cut the oval from and insert the dotted oval you cut into the center as you are going to use both pieces. Arrange the tulips in your oval window where you like it making sure it all fits within the card size and adhere the bottom of the tulips to the back of your oval. Then arrange and adhere the two grass cut-outs behind the tulips to your liking, again making sure it all fits within your card size, and adhere those to the back of the oval piece as well. Now adhere your oval piece to the front of your card.
With a spare piece of white card stock stamp the “For a great friend” greeting and cut out with the medium label die in the Mixed Labels dies. Adhere to the lower left of your card front with pop dots to set it up a bit to stand out.
For the inside take the white card stock piece you cut and stamp the “Just a not to let you know you’re on my mind” greeting from the Mixed Labels stamp set with the Black StazOn ink toward the top and then the dainty flower stamp in the lower left corner. Use your Calypso Coral Light Stampin’ Blends to color in the flowers and your Granny Apple Green Dark Stampin’s Blends to outline the stems. Adhere to the inside of your card.
You now have a cheerful, lovely card to send to a friend to let them know your are thinking of them.
