STAMPIN' UP! MIXED FLORALS CONEFLOWER BIRTHDAY CARD

 Whilst I love the large tulip stamp in the Mixed Florals bundle, I also really like the coneflowers, or echinacea.  The large images are a delight to colour with Stampin' Blends Markers.

This background paper is one of my favourite patterns in the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper packs.  I love the slightly unexpected inclusion of Boho Blue - one of my favourite colours, that  will be retiring from Stampin' Up!'s range in the first week of May. 😞





Here's a closer look at the texture and detail on my card.  The two rectangles were cut using Textured Notes Dies (you may notice I am loving those at the moment!).  The Calypso Coral layer is Two-Tone Cardstock, from the Storybook Life pack, and the smaller rectangle is Basic White - which has also been embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.

I used Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the flowers and foliage.  The Calypso Coral and Boho Blue embellishments are Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.  In addition to the main image, I stamped, coloured and die-cut an extra sprig of the smaller flowers.





The sentiment, from Sweetly Scripted, was stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White card.  I used a label die from the Delicate Forest Dies to cut it out.

While the news is fresh, I'm going to continue sharing details of Stampin' Up!'s new Stampin' Rewards Program - because I think it is a huge improvement.  Everyone who orders $35 or more of product now gets to earn rewards; how good is that?!

STAMPIN' UP! MIXED FLORALS ANNIVERSARY CARD

Today's Mixed Florals card has a bit going on!  I started with certain ideas in my head, but it morphed into something completely different, with a LOT of layers.  On top of the card base, there are 8 layers. 😆  I think it has come together okay, though.  What do you think?




Here's a snapshot of several of the details.  I started with a Thick Basic White card base.  On a piece of Petal Pink and White striped Designer Series Paper, I stamped (in Petal Pink ink) the same floral image as the focal piece on my card.  I sponged the edges of the DSP with Petal Pink ink, then matted the paper on Petal Pink card.  I then decided to splatter ink over the stamped paper, using my Dark Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends Markers.  The final step for this piece was running it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, in the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.

Using Textured Notes Dies, I cut two rectangles from Boho Blue Two-Tone Cardstock (from the Storybook Life pack), and one from Basic White card.  I layered them, and matted the largest rectangle on a slightly larger piece of Calypso Coral card.




The focal image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on Basic White card.  I used the following colours of Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the flowers and foliage:  Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Boho Blue, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.  I cut the image out with the co-ordinating die.




The sentiment, from the Mixed Labels stamp set, was stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White card.  I cropped it using one of the Something Fancy Dies, and added a couple of Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.
