Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in.  I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.  

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match.  It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!  

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies.  You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles.  What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame!  See it here in the online store. 

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first.  Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center.  Then huff and stamp.  Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

I shared my retired BOGO items for sale on FB Live last week.  There are over 100 items left; mostly stamps, dies, bundles and embossing folders.  You can see the video here on YouTube.   However the most updated list is in the album here on my FB page. *I update & delete items as they are sold.

This sale will stay open through August 14th.  If you have a list of current Stampin' Up! items you want to buy why not double dip and get lots more free with this BOGO?!

  • Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!


    I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch.  Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

    That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch.  Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

    You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page.  The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings. 

    It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here.  *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now! 

    I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper.  That's where the cute gingham designs come from.  Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now?  Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack!  So cool!  The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here. 

    Details:

    • White stitched rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
    • Daffodil layer is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • main card is White thick card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" 
    • Vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch
    • The greeting is punched with the Classic Label punch
    • the gingham paper is 1" X 2" – 2 pieces; one for the top and one for the bottom.  No waste underneath the layers!
