June 2019 / Stamping With Melva

Verdant Garden

Sunday, 30 June 2019

There is something about a green card - I don't think you have to be a gardener to appreciate the lovely paper in the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. I've combined the paper with the stamped leaves from the To a Wild Rose Bundle and the embellishments and twine from Magnolia Lane. That's the amazing thing about Stampin' Up! products - you can mix and match product suites and they coordinate perfectly!

Instructions

Cut a piece of Pear Pizazz cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to make card base.
Cut a piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base using Snail.
Stamp 2 leaves (from To A Wild Rose Bundle) - one on Old Olive cardstock using Old Olive ink and the other on Pear Pizazz cardstock using Pear Pizazz ink
Cut out using coordinating die from To a Wild Rose Bundle
Adhere leave to the card base using Dimensionals.
Wrap the Old Olive twine around entire card base twice and adhere with Snail.
Stamp sentiment on cork label using Old Olive ink.
Tie a bow on the label and adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment and vines on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock using Old Olive ink and adhere to the inside of the card.

Today's card features the Floral Essence Bundle as well as Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper, Vellum and Floral Centres.

I love this suite of products. The Designer Series Paper reminds me of Monet paintings!

The Vellum is lovely to stamp or emboss on. One trick to stamping on the vellum is to make sure you let it dry well as I find it smudges if you don't. For this card I stamped flower image in Versamark and then sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and heated. I love the look of the white on the Petal Pink vellum.

Instructions

Cut Blackberry Bliss cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and fold in half to make card base.
Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base using Snail.
Stamp 2 flowers with VersaMark ink and sprinkle while wet with White Embossing Powder. Heat with Heat Tool until powder is melted.
Punch embossed flowers out using the Perennial Flower Punch.
Punch 2 flowers (not embossed) using the Perennial Flower Punch.
Punch out 2 leaves from the Green vellum using the Leaf Punch.
Cut a 8" piece of Organdy Striped ribbon and adhere the ribbon to the front of the card (top left) using Snail. I folded the ribbon in half and put some Snail on the back and on the folded part.
Adhere the leaves to the card front using Snail
Adhere one unembossed flower on top of the other flower using Snail.
Adhere to card front using Snail.
Adhere one embossed flower on top of other flower using Snail.
Adhere to card front on top of other flower) using a Dimensional.
Adhere a flower centre.
Stamp the sentiment on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock. Adhere to inside of card using Snail.
