I created this card to show off the retiring In Bloom stamp set. Pierced Blooms dies and 2020-2022 In-colors.
Project Recipe
Dimensions:
Bumblebee 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; scraps for flowers.
Cinnamon Cider scraps for flower centers.
Magenta Madness scraps for flowers and centers.
Misty Moonlight scraps for flowers
Score Bumblebee cardstock at 4-1/4" fold and burnish for the card base.
Emboss 5-1/4" x 4" white cardstock using the Brick and Mortar 3D folder.
Adhere it to the front of the card base.
This is a big step.
Die-cut flowers using the Pierced Blooms dies. I cut two in Misty Moonlight using the same large die.
I cut two Bumblebee flowers from a second large die.
I cut one Magenta Madness medium-sized flower, and I cut two smaller flowers that I stacked and adhered together.
I cut two small flowers out of white cardstock, but when I demonstrated this card I cut them out of Bumblebee. I ended up coloring the white flowers using the Bumblebee Stampin' Write Marker on this card.
I cut two large centers in Cinnamon Cider and two more in Petal Pink.
I cut one small Petal Pink center and two small Magenta Madness centers.
I cut out several sized leaves in Just Jade.
Stamp the sentiment closer to the right end of the 3-1/2" x 1" white cardstock in Just Jade.
I used the strip to help me determine where to place the flowers.
Adhere the centers to all the flowers.
Begin laying out the flowers where you want them, then choose the leaves. I only used one stem in this photo, but I also cut leaves off other stems to use on the flowers.
After deciding where the flowers go, adhere the leaves to the backside of the flower placing Multipurpose glue to the top of the leaf.
Do this step with all leaves as you adhere the flowers to the front of the card.
Adhere the sentiment to the card using Foam Adhesive sheets then add the small flower with leaves to the other end.
Stamp the inside of the card using the 5-1/4" x 4" white cardstock, and decorate as desired.
Adhere the cardstock to the inside. I always adhere it last in case I make a mistake and have to turn it over to re-stamp something.
This is where I stamp the corner of the envelope as well.
To finish off the card I used retiring 2020-2022 In-color square gems and the retiring bumblebee trinket to the front of the card using a Mini glue dot.
TA-DA!
