Lovely Arrangmenst in Golden Glow

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Golden Glow. I've used the Lovely Arrangements Bundle to design my card. The new Golden Glow Shimmer pen was perfect for coloring the highlights of the flowers! Click here to see the original Instagram post.

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

The white outline around a stamped and die cut image has always bugged me on a colored background, but I tried something new to me and it totally solved that issue. Since the flowers are on a Golden Glow background I outlined the stamped flowers with the Light Golden Glow Stampin' Blend (I used the bullet tip). I am so happy with how that softened the edge of the flowers!

The Golden Glow Shimmer pen was so easy to use, and while the photo's don't show off the shimmer it is there when you see it in person. Subtle, but that is exactly how I like it!

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Golden Glow: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Front mattel layer - Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
Card front layer - Golden Glow: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Focal point base layer - Vellum: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", die cut using largest circle.

Assembly Instructions:

Using background die, die cut upper left and lower right corners to create peek a book effect. Adhere to front matte layer. Wrap ribbon around center of matted card front. Attach ends with tape on the back. Adhere matted card front to front of card base using dimensionals.
Adhere vellum circle to card front. I used mini glue dots strategically placed so that they hide behind my flowers and sentiment.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp 2 large flowers and 1 small flower on Basic White cardstock. Using Light Golden Glow Stampin' Blend, bullet tip, outline the outer edges of the flowers and the petals that appear to overlap lower petals. Usually I would finish coloring the flowers before die cutting, but since I am coloring with the Golden Glow Shimmer Pen, my post it tape removes some of the shimmer..... so I die cut prior to adding my shimmer pen to the flower. Adhere to focal point using dimensionals.
Using Golden Glow ink, stamp 3 sets of leaves and die cut. Adhere to focal point using mini glue dots.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment on label. Adhere to card front using dimenstionals.
Adhere bow using mini glue dots.
Scatter antique pearls on card front.
Using the back ground die, die cut in upper left corner and lower right corner of the message liner, catching just a few of the cut outs.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment on inner message liner. Adhere to inner card base.

I hope you have been inspired today!

Beautiful Ordinary Life

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This months theme is Paper Piecing. I couldn't find a name for this pattern, so if you know it.... drop me a note in the comments. Be sure to visit each of the live links listed below the tutorial, to see everyones version of Paper Piecing.

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

I chose 5 different prints from the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" DSP. I love how well they coordinate!! I kept a 1/16" gap between the 1/2" wide strips for a super clean appearance. I used Stampin' Seal, just to speed the process along, but the multipurpose glue would work just as well. I needed a card to send to a friend that is going through a difficult patch.... and the sentiments from Prayers & Promises were just perfect.

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP - Inner View

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Card front base- Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Inner DSP strips: 3 different prints, 1/4" x 5 1/8"
Linen Thread: 30"

Assembly Instructions:

Apply DSP strips in a staggered pattern on card front base, with a 1/16" space between strips. I used Stampin' Seal, but multipurpose glue would work well too. Trim off overhang.
Wrap Linen Thread around lower card front and adhere ends on back. I wrapped three times. Adhere card front layer to front of card base using dimensionals.
Using Lost Lagoon ink, stamp sentiment on label. Adhere to cardfront using dimensionals.

Fern & Flora in Crisp Cantaloupe

Fern & Flora Bundle + Extraordinary Life Bundle + Bordered In Beauty Bundle +
Lily of the Vally Dies + Fern & Flora Embossing Folder

Today's Crafty Collaboration Monochromatic Insta Hop Color is Crisp Cantaloupe. Click HERE to see the original post on Instagram.

Fern & Flora Bundle + Extraordinary Life Bundle + Bordered In Beauty Bundle +
Lily of the Vally Dies + Fern & Flora Embossing Folder

The Fern & Flora Bundle reminds me of all my time hiking in the Pacific Northwest. Ferns are plentiful in the mountains, as well as wildflowers. The Lily of the Valley die also reminded me of the seet and delicate Coral Bells that were also spotted on various hikes.

To stay within the challenge of Crisp Cantaloupe, I've used the two-tone cardstock, embossed and sanded for texture; and the Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. These options really allowed for depth within the color.

Card base - Crisp Cantaloupe: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Front matte layer - Basic White: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Inner Butterfly strips - Basic White: 2" x 3 3/4" to stamp and die cut 2 pieces

Emboss card front layer with raised embossing to the front of the embossing folder. I chose to use the lighter side as the front. Using an emery board, lightly sand the raised embossing to expose the white core.
Adhere card front layer to front matte layer. Wrap ribbon around lower matter card front (about 1" from bottom). Attach ends with tape on back. Adhere card front to front of card base using dimensionals.
