STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERS OF BEAUTY BIRTHDAY CARD #2 IN COASTAL CABANA

 A few days ago I shared a card featuring Coastal Cabana, for this week's Colour Creations blog hop.  While I had out my supplies, I made a second card, using this lovely colour combination:

I had on my desk a leftover spray of foliage, cut from Basic Beige card, and lots of Coastal Cabana flowers, all cut using Flowers of Beauty Dies.  Here's what I put together:

The sentiments on this card are from the Flower Cart stamp set, and both cut out using Changing Leaves Dies.   I white heat-embossed one sentiment on a piece of Basic Beige card, and after die-cutting the circle, I sponged the edges with Basic Beige ink.

The white background is a piece of Thick Basic White card, embossed using the gorgeous Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.  Above the sentiment circle, and in the flower centres, I've added Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.  A few Brushed Brass Butterflies were also added to my card.

 

As you can see in the photos, I sponged Coastal Cabana ink around the edges of each die-cut flower.  To the bottom third of my card front, I adhered Designer Series Paper (from the 6"x6" packs) in Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake, after sponging the edges in ink matching the papers.  

I wrapped two lengths of Crumb Cake Baker's Twine around my card front, and (using a Mini Glue Dot) adhered a bow also made from two lengths of the twine.

The second of the two sentiments was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink on Basic White card, and cut out using another of the Changing Leaves Dies.

Inside the card I added a smattering of die-cut Coastal Cabana flowers, on a Basic White panel.

STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERS OF BEAUTY BIRTHDAY CARD IN COASTAL CABANA

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop, involving a number of us who are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators in Australia, is showcasing Coastal Cabana.  I don't often use this colour, but felt inspired to team it with a few neutrals, using this colour combination:

There's very little stamping (only the sentiment) on my card, but I have used several dies and an embossing folder to make this rather simple design!

I cut a Deckled Rectangle from Thick Basic White card, and embossed it using the gorgeous Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.  I adhered this to the Thick Basic White card base, and added all the details on top.

Here are some close-up shots of the different components.  Using an oval Unbounded Love Die, I cut one from Crumb Cake ink, and a second from Basic White card.  Using the Everyday Greetings stamp set (an Online Exclusive),  I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White centre piece, using Coastal Cabana ink for "Birthday", and Crumb Cake ink for "Wishes".  I then inlaid the Basic White piece into the Crumb Cake frame, and glued them down.

From Basic Beige card, I cut two sprigs of foliage, using a Flowers of Beauty Die.  I cut off part of one sprig, to reduce the bulk.  The flowers were cut from Coastal Cabana card, using another Flowers of Beauty Die (that cuts a number of flowers in one pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine).  I sponged the edges of each flower with Coastal Cabana ink, and once everything was assembled on the card front, I added an Earth Tones Shimmer Gem to each flower centre.  These gems are coming out in the new Mini Catalogue on 4th September.

After sticking down the embossed Deckled Rectangle, I laid two Coastal Cabana strips across the top, near the bottom of the card front.  Firstly I used an Everyday Details Die to create a border strip on Coastal Cabana card.  I sponged the edges with Coastal Cabana ink, before sticking it down.  I then laid a wider strip of Coastal Cabana DSP (with edges sponged in Coastal Cabana) over the top.  This provided an anchor for the foliage to be stuck down to.

The finishing touch is a bow created with two lengths of Crumb Cake Baker's Twine, added using a Mini Glue Dot.
