Stampin' Up! Timeless Tulips Faux Window Box

Hi friends and welcome to my blog! I have a fun and happy card for you today!

I cut a few flowers using my Tulip Builder punch and had planned to make this card during my Friday video. However when my daughter called asking if I could be with her at the hospital to help with her 3 month old after his surgery, of course I said yes. View my previous post to watch how I did the ink blending for these flowers.

Colour Combo for the Blended Ink Technique

The 3 on the left were blended, the 3 on the right were blended.

What makes this technique so interesting is how the flicks of water land on the paper and leave such wonderful and unique designs!

My card base & layer are both Blackberry Bliss, with the layer cut using one of my Stitched Rectangle dies as is the In Good Taste DSP. The tulips on the outside were adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and I popped up the middle tulip with Dimensionals. I had a scrap of the DSP and thought it would make a really cute 'window box'! Then I saw my Square Vellum Doilies, cut about a third of the doily and voila, a nice little window dressing!

I heat embossed the sentiment, from Tasteful Touches onto Vellum using Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, then fussy cut it.

Stampin' Up! Basket of Blooms

Hello friends and welcome to my blog! Today, I set out to create with colour and texture - what do you think of my card?

Basket of Blooms is a stamp set asking to be coloured...so I started with Whisper White paper, and using Sponge Daubers and a circular motion, I added Real Red and Mango Melody to the paper, overlapping the colours. Next, I stamped the floral images using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut them with the Small Bloom Punch.

I stamped the flower pot and greenery in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and using my Stampin' Blends proceeded to colour. Have you used our Blends? They are amazing! Colours I used are Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green. I cut the paper using one of the Stitched Shapes dies, and for the Granny Apple Green frame I used Layering Circles dies.

To add texture to both the frame and In Good Taste DSP layer, I embossed them using the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. I love changing the appearance of paper by embossing!!

The pretty 'Hello friend' sentiment is from Queen Anne's Lace, and to have it stand out on the card, I heat embossed Stampin' White powder onto Basic Black cardstock, then fussy cut it.

Finishing touches are like sprinkles on ice cream and the Gold Metallic Trim from the Forever Greenery Ribbon Combo Pack is ideal! I unravelled the end of the trim for a whispy look.
