      Simply Zinnia Gratitude Card

      It's the last Monday of February!! Today I made another card with the Simply Zinnia stamps, dies and the Flowering Zinnia's Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This new suite of products and many others will be available in the Online Exclusive store starting 5 March, 2024. 

        

      Card Instructions
      1. Start with Melon Mambo card base cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score & fold at 4 1/4".
      2. Attach DSP layer cut 3" x 4" to a Melon Mambo accent layer cut 4 1/8" x 3 1/8", then secure to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
      3. Cut Basic White cardstock strip 1" x 4 1/2" and  stamp sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  
      4. Punch right side of strip with Banners Pick A Punch and attach as shown.  
      5. Stamp single flower onto Basic White cardstock scrap with Melon Mambo ink and then brush same ink over flower with Blender Brush.  Stamp leaves in Mossy Meadow ink and blend over with Lemon lime Twist.  Die cut both stamped images. 
      6. Attach flower and leaves to card front as shown.  Be sure to add a dimensional under left side of flower for support. 
      7. Add desired number of gems.  I used my "go to" 2023-2025 In Color Dots. 


      NOTE: The Flowering Zinnias Collection will be available starting 5 March, 2024 in the Online Exclusives store on the Stampin' Up! website.

        Monochrome Friday - It's Sweet Sorbet!

        Hey Friends!! time for another Monochrome Friday Insta-Hop.  Today is a Sweet Sorbet notecard kind of day.  I created a Sweet Sorbet ink background by laying down some ink on my silicone craft sheet, spraying on some water and picking it up with my Basic White card stock. Once it was dry I stamped my image from the Color & Contour Stamps using black ink.  To finish it off I made a frame using the Scalloped Contours Dies.  No bling on this card today just paper and ink. 



        Card Details
        • Stamps
          • Color & Contour
        • Paper
          • Basic White Notecard & Envelope 
          • Basic White inked layer - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
          • Basic White frame - 2 3/4" x 4", die cut with 3rd largest Scalloped Contour die
        • Ink
          • Sweet Sorbet Ink Pad and Stampin' Write Marker
          • Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
        • Tools/Embellishment
          • Scalloped Contours Dies
          • Stampin' Spritzer
          • Silicone Craft Sheet 
          • Craft Knife




        Prior to removing the paper from the die cut frame I used a craft knife to trim out the center of the die cut to make the frame. I added some splatters with my Sweet Sorbet and Basic Black markers for some visual interest then attached the frame using liquid glue.  I think this is a perfect little notecard.
