Jar of Flowers - Double Z fold

Jar of Flowers - Double Z fold

Jar of Flower - Double Z fold

This was a fun card that I directed my customers through making at a Mystery Stamping night this month.
This is a Double Z fold that everyone was surprised to find out was much easier than it looks.  We added a pc of paper to the back of the card for writing a message.

DSP set on a border mat, makes up the back ground.  I stamped the Black and White short pcs using stamps from the Jar of Flowers stamp set and just left it uncolored.  

Links to the supplies are listed below this post.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  I love sharing my ideas with you.

Expressions in Ink - Thank you Card



Expressions in Ink - Thank you card



I used the Expression in Ink Suite to create these Thank you cards.

It was so easy!  I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder was so easy.  I matted on Pear Pizzaz, or Shaded Spruce and  love how these turned out.  All 3 cards fronts were cut from the same piece of paper.  I hope you will check out this beautiful suite of products in the new 2021-2022 Annual catalog.  You will not be disappointed.  Links to the products are at the bottom of this post.






I created this card to participate in Bruno and Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop.  I hope you will check out the beautiful work from all of these talented people, by clicking on the links in the following list.

Quiet Meadow - any occasion card

 



Quiet Meadow bundle 

Quiet Meadow all occasion cards ready for mailing




When I was a kid, my family lived in a neighborhood that didn't have sidewalks, and several of the side streets were not paved.  We lived on one of those unpaved streets, and what a treat it was to have such a playground of mud puddles, and wild flowers growing about.  My absolute favorite was the 1st of May, a day where as children we would pick those wild flowers, put them in paper cones, and deliver them to our neighbors front porches.  We would ring the bell, then run and hide....watching from behind a bush as the flowers were discovered and graciously accepted by the ladies that lived on our street.

One of those wild flowers was a flower we called Bachelor Buttons.  As soon as I saw the Quiet Meadow bundle, I spotted this flower die and I fell in love!  All those childhood memories came flooding back.  I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

I enjoyed every moment of creating this card.  All of the stamps and dies used came from this bundle.

Quiet Meadow is a new stamp and die set that is available tomorrow, May 4th, in the new 2021-2022 Annual catalog!  

I used 3 of the new In-colors that will also be available tomorrow, May 4th.  

This card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with a top fold.
The Soft Succulent mat layer is 4" x 5 1/4"
The Basic White layer is 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

When stamping the background Basic White cardstock, I stamped off once for the Soft Succulent areas, and stamped off twice for the Fresh Freesia flowers.  I suggest practicing on a scrap of paper till you accomplish the look that you want for your background.  

I sponged a little Soft Succulent ink on the stems of the Soft Succulent leafy stem piece, just to give it a bit of dept.

To create the flower at the top of stem, I cut the first layer in Evening Evergreen, then cut just the flower portion again in the Fresh Freesia.  Trimmed the base of the flower, and adhered it atop of the first layer of flower, giving the Fresh Freesia just a small pop out from the stem.  

I used White Crinkle Seam Binding for the bow, and colored it with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.

Tomorrow you will be able to purchase this Quiet Meadow bundle at my online store link
