Hello Harvest Bundle Card #4

Our last card in the Hello Harvest series is a little different and while it is still a very nice fall looking card was created with the non-traditional colors of fall. Well, some of the colors in the floral arrangement are with traditional colors, but I think adding the Pacific Blue create a more summertime look.

I am not sure how often I will be using this flora bouquet from the bundle, but it is pretty. I think it would make a really sweet Mother’s Day card or even Easter!

Artistically Inked Thank You by Laura Rossmann

Today and tomorrow’s blog post is brought to you by my dear friend, Laura Rossmann. Thank you Laura for helping me get posted during this most difficult time.

From Laura-

I began with a Basic White card base and added the Artistically Inked DSP.  Using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Artistic Dies, I cut out the group of flowers and leaves from Basic White Cardstock and adhered it on top of the Artistically Inked DSP. 

I stamped the large flower in Daffodil Delight Ink and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz then cut them using the flower and leaf dies. I then filled in the center of the flower using the Wink of Stella and adhered them on top of the white flowers and leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Thanks on the remaining Basic White CS and cut it using the tag die from the Seasonal Labels Dies.  I adhered the sentiment tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Project Measurements and Supplies

  • Basic White CS – 5 ½ by 8 ½ (card base) and the remaining 5 ½ by 8 ½ for stamping and die cutting
  • Artistically Inked DSP – 5 ¼ by 4 (retired)

Hello Forever Fern

My card today was created with the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating dies featured in the annual catalog.  I always love the distinctive ink sets and this bundle does not disappoint.

 I love the softness of the leaves and regardless of what color I use, they always look great. Today’s colors are Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz and Cherry Cobbler. I began with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Cherry Cobbler.  On another panel of Basic White I stamped the larger fern leaves in Old Olive and the smaller fern leaf in Pear Pizzazz.  I stamped the smaller leaf several times. 

Use the  Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop several berries and then finish off your card with a few black dot splashes. The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

I hope you have fun creating-stamp something beautiful for someone! See below for a list of project supplies and our current host code.
