Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo


Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 


The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

  • More beautiful Team swaps for Autumn


    First up is a fun fold card made by Paula:

    This pretty stamp is part of the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set seen here. She colored the image in with Blends markers. Beautiful work Paula!

    I don’t remember seeing a fold like this card before. I love that the main panel on the left is accented by the DSP panel on the right.

    Here are her measurements:
    – card base 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″ & 9 1/8″
    – left panel – vanilla 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″, Early Espresso 3″ X 5″
    – right panel – DSP 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, Early Espresso layer 3″ X 4″
    – Vanilla inside 3 3/4″ X 5″

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:

    Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

    She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

    The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

    Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

    She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

    Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

    She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

    Measurements:
    – Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″

    Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

    She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

    And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

    Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!
