Swiss Dots & Scallops in Highland Heather

Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die + Scalloped Blooms Dies

Highland Heather is this weeks Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop color..... and did I ever have fun making my project! Click HERE to see the original post on Instagram.

I used the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die to create my background, layered scallops of vellum and cardstock, then heat embossed the sentiment. The Adhesive Backed Blooms were the PERFECT embellishment! Be sure to click through to see the inner card too! I used the Swiss Dots Hot Foil on the matte layer, and it was just the perfect inner finishing touch! I don't use Highland Heather much, but I do LOVE how this card turned out!

Every Friday I participate in the Monochromatic Insta Hop with the Crafty Collaborations team. I am grateful for that time to stretch and use colors that I don't normally gravitate towards.

Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die + Scalloped Blooms Dies

There isn't one detail about this card that I am unhappy with. I love that I can see the dots through the vellum layer, and like I said above..... those adhesive backed blooms are just perfect on this card!

Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die + Greenery Lane Stamp Set

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Card front layer - Highland Heather: 4" x 5 1/4"
Large scalloped circle - Vellum: 4" x 4", use third largest scalloped die to cut.
Sentiment scalloped circle - Highland Heather: 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", use fourth largest scalloped die to cut.
Inner matte layer - Highland Heather: 4" x 5 1/4"
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Assembly Instructions:

Using the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die, heat die using the Stampin' Up!® Hot Foil System. Layer Silver foil on face down, add cardstock, shim and plate. Transfer to Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and slowly crank through. Peel foil off of cardstock. I suggest doing both the card front and the inner matte layer one right after the other, so that the hot foil system can be set out of the way.
Adhere card front layer to front of card base. Using adhesive in just a small circle on the back of the vellum, adhere the vellum to the card front.
Using Versamark ink, stamp sentiment on smaller scalloped circle. Coat in silver embossing powder, then heat set. Adhere to center of vellum using dimensionals.
Adhere adhesive backed blooms on sentiment label.
Using Highland Heather ink, stamp sentiment on images on inner message liner. Adhere to inner matte layer. Adhere to inner card base.

This card was so fun to make! I hope you are inspired to copy this or create your own version!

Fern & Flora Color Challenge

Fern & Flora Bundle + Banner Sayings Bundle + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

This card was created for the July Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You will find the list of participants below the tutorial in this post. You won't want to miss out on seeing everyones projects.

It is fun to break out of my normal design style and test color combo's that I would not normally gravitate to. Be sure to check out the inside of my card too!

I was able to use all the colors in this challenge. The Smoky Slate is subtle, as I used a blending brush to apply it to the center of the card front prior to embossing that layer. I wish I had some Real Red dots to use. Normally I would color something with my Stampin' Blends, but I didn't have a single dot, pearl or rhinestone available to color!!

Isn't the texture from the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder just great??! And the detail dies from the Fern & Flora Bundle are just amazing!

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Front matte layer - Lemon Lime Twist: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Card front layer - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5". This layer is embossed.
Fern - Garden Green: 2" x 4", detail die cut one fern.
Frond - Lemon Lime Twist: 3" x 1 1/2", detail die cut one frond.
Flowers - Basic White: scrap, stamp and silhouette die cut one set of flowers
Moths - Basic White: scrap, stamp and silhouette die cut three moths
Sentiment label - Basic White: scrap, punch cut one label
Inner matte layer - Lemon Lime Twist: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Linen Thread: 16"

Using Smoky Slate ink and a blending brush, add ink to center of card front layer. Emboss. Adhere to front matte layer. Adhere to front of card base.
Adhere fern and front to card front using mini glue dots.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp flowers. Using Real Red & Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends, color flowers and leaves. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.

Scatter dots on card front.
Adhere linen thread bow using mini glue dot.
