Lovely Arrangements

 Welcome back!!     

We made this card for a recent Sip and Stamp and it was very popular. It has two of my favorite elements- it's easy and elegant!!  The basic design is so versatile and can be used with just about anything! The Lovely Arrangements stampset, dies and the Lovely Blossoms paper all come together seamlessly.  Below is written instructions as well as a video to help get your creativity moving!

Items Used: (Shop now.)

•        Stamp Set: Lovely Arrangements
•      Card Stock (CS) and Paper: Petal Pink CS; Basic White CS; Old Olive CS; Lovely   Blossoms Designer Series Paper (DSP)
•       Stamp Pads: Night of Navy
•       Tools: Lovely Arrangement Dies; Stampin’ Blends (Old Olive and Petal Pink)
•       Miscellaneous: Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels (only because I couldn’t find my Moody  Palette Glassy Dots!!)

 

Measurements:

•  Petal Pink CS: 9” x 4¼” scored at 3½”; scrap for die cut
• Basic White CS: 3¼” x 4” (inside); scrap to die cut flowers
• Old Olive CS: scrap for leaves
• Lovely Blossoms DSP #1: 3¼” x 4”
• Lovely Blossoms DSP #2: 1¾” x 4

 

Instructions: (Download the project sheet.)

•  Score the Petal Pink CS at 3½” to form the shorter front of the cardbase.

• Adhere the Lovely Blossoms DSP #1 (Navy blue print) to the left side of the cardfront. Adhere the Lovely Blossoms DSP #2 (Old Olive print) to the right side.

•  Using Night of Navy ink, stamp the flowers on the Basic White CS.  Die cut the flowers, leaves and oval for the sentiment.

• Add some Petal Pink to the flowers using the Stampin’ Blend marker. Adhere the smaller flowers to the upper and lower edge first. Adhere the large flower with a dimensional. *Be careful to not glue your card shut!!* Don't laugh- it has happened!

• Adhere the leaves. Then stamp your sentiment on the Petal Pink CS die cut and adhere with dimensionals.

• Stamp the flower on the corner of the Basic White CS inside piece, then adhere along the left of the inside.

• Since my Moody Palette Glossy Dots are missing…… I had to use my Old Olive Blend marker to color my pearls!!

Okay, not a fan of written instructions?? Me either! Here is a video to help.

Now take a look at what happens when you make it "portrait" mode.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did.  Thanks for joining me.  Feel free to join my FB group "Stamping with Card Zen by Jen" so you are sure to not miss out on anything!  FOMO is a real thing!!
