Recently I had posted a card sample with the “Exciting Times” Bundle. In my previous post HERE, I was able to incorporate all five of the NEW “In Colors” in my card. My next card with this “Exciting Times” Bundle, I chose a vertical orientation and used two of the NEW “In Colors”. One thing I realized is that these NEW “In Colors” play very well with each other along with our core color collection.
For my card sample, I chose Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Basic White for my color palette. A few layers and a strip of “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper for the foundation of my card. Then, I stamped the frame from the “Exciting Times” Bundle with Crisp Cantaloupe on a piece of Barely Blush card stock. Next, I punched out the center rectangle with the coordinating punch. I stamped the radiating lines image in Barely Blush on a piece of Basic White card stock. I stamped this twice, as it is a very light color. The greeting was stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and these two pieces were layered together with double “Mini Glue Dots”. For the top of this “tag”, I used two punches to create the shape for the top.
To complete my card, I added a few light colored sequins from my stash. Lastly, I added a piece of the “NEW 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” in Barely Blush and tied it off with a piece of “White Baker’s Twine”. I added the greeting panel to my card front with some “Dimensionals”. I love the soft colors used for this super easy and cute card!
For my new catalog Open House, I created several card samples with the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle. This particular card was actually my free make-n-take card project for my Open House. I allowed customers to choose a greeting and their mat layer color along with their embossed frame color. HERE was my previous post with the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle.
For my card, I also included the beautiful “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper and a great new embossing folder, “Paradise Garden” Hybrid Folder. The “Paradise Garden” Embossing Folder is featured in the OnLine Exclusives. This folder is unique that when used with the coordinating die, will cut portions of the leaves in the background. This allows you to lift the leaves and tuck a panel under or lift them with a “Dimensional” for additional texture. For my Designer Series Paper print, I chose a pattern that incorporated ALL of the NEW “In Colors”. I wanted my customers to see these beautiful NEW “In Colors”.
My greeting is from the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle and stamped on the inside of the frame die cut out which is oval in shape. Everyone had fun learning how to use the new impressions dies along with the “Impressions Plate”, which to me is a more flexible layer than the name implies. We backed our greeting with a retired Scalloped Oval Die from my stash. The addition of a knotted bow in the “3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” and a few “In Color” Dots completed the card. I believe that everyone enjoyed playing with these new products and selecting their own color combination.
I will note that we used “Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals” in the corners of the embossed frame. The straighter parts of the frame were supported with “Foam Adhesive Strips”. I did offer several greeting options so that everyone could customize their card. Honestly, all of the cards turned out pretty darn cute!
So much fun as the “Eyelet Blooms” Die meets new products! Recently I was able to use the “Eyelet Bloom” Die along with several other new products. I used the “Phrases & Frames” stamp set and the “Scalloped Wishes” Bundle. I also managed to incorporate two of the NEW “In Colors”, Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine on my card design. The “Eyelet Blooms Die” is the April Product of the Month and available for $5 with a qualifying $75 purchase. Absolutely love this “Eyelet Blooms Die”!
Just in case you are wondering what portion of this card is from the “Phrases & Frames” stamp set, it is the “Thinking of You” greeting. The font for this stamp set is very pretty as it combines a block typeface with a script. The most challenging part of this card was cropping the “Eyelet Blooms” die layer making the border relatively even. Part of this die will cut out the petals of the flowers which can leave behind a small void along the edge of the card stock. My color palette was Basic White, Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine for this card.
Absolutely loving how the “Scalloped Wishes” dies really complements the “Eyelet Blooms” Die, detailed and dainty! To complete my card, I tied a piece of “White Baker’s Twine” around the Peaceful Pine ribbon. Basicallly, I curled the flower petals of the large and small flower dies. Next I painted them with “Wink of Stella” Glitter Pen. Lastly, a small Golden Glow“In Color” Dot was added to the center. Basicallly, a pretty simple card and the “Eyelet Blooms” Die did most of the work!
