Beautifully Happy Card Instructions.

I started out with a Rich Razzleberry A5 piece of cardstock which I scored and folded in half to form my base card. Next, I cut another piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock measuring 100mm x 144mm. To this piece, I added a strip of Old Olive designer series paper from the Regals 6"x6" pack cut at 30mm x 144mm. I have then added a piece of Fresh Freesia designer series paper cut at 80mm x 124mm. This was then mounted to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Next, I stamped the outline image from the Beautifully Happy stamp set, twice onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped the flowers in Rich Razzleberry ink and the leaves in Old Olive ink. One image was fussy cut in full and the second image just the larger 2 flowers were fussy cut. The 2 flowers where mounted to the full image using Stampin' Dimensionals. I have then added Stampin' Dimensionals to the full image and mounted to the card front.

The sentiments were then stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut out. I've used Stampin' Dimensionals to add them to the card front. The final step was to add some 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.

I also decorated the inside of the card. Firstly, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to measure 100mm x 144mm. Next, I stamped the small flower outline image onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped the coordinating solid images in Rich Razzleberry for the flower and Old Olive for the leaves before fussy cutting. This was then glued to the insert piece and then glued inside the card.

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50

Hi and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop for January.  Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our January Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch we were challenged to use.

Blog Hop #50

I wanted to use something from the new January - April 2023 Mini Catalogue for my card today so I chose to use the lovely Fancy Flora Suite Collection.

Here's what I created.

 

Blog Hop Card - Fancy Flora Birthday

Blog Hop Card Details:

To make my card I started out with an A5 piece of Soft Succulent cardstock. I've scored and folded this in half before embossing the front using the Painted Textures 3D embossing folder. Next, I added a strip of the Fine Shimmer 12" x 12" paper in gold cut @ 145mm x 30mm. I then cut a piece of the Fancy Flora 6" x 6" designer series paper @ 138mm x 75mm.

My next step was to stamp and die cut the images. I've used a Blending Brush to apply Calypso Coral ink to the solid flower images and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. The detail stamp was inked directly on the Calypso Coral inkpad, but stamped off once onto scrap before stamping over the solid image. The leaves are a mixture of first and second stamping using Soft Succulent inkpad.

I've adhered the leaves using glue onto the Fancy Flora designer series paper piece and the flowers using Stampin' Dimensionals. My sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Soft Succulent ink and die cut using the coordinating dies before mounting using Stampin' Dimensionals. The final touch was to add some of the Iridescent Pastel Gems in gold.

I also decorated the inside of the card using some of the offcut designer series paper and another of the stamped flora images.
