Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

August 30, 2022

Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live.

Lots of pretty details on this card:

Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration. See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th. See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here.

The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

Save

I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

Save

I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.

The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here. When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die!

I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here. It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.

Save

The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.

Save

Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st. Sale-a-Bration ends that day.

Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!
