Petal Park Congratulations Card - InspireINK Blog Hop - Celebrate

Hi Everyone,

The theme this month is 'Celebrate' so I have made a Congratulations card using the lovely Petal Park stamp set and Punch and the Dandy Designs designer series papers. I was feeling in a cheerful mood so I've gone with nice bright colours.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of basic white card 3 5/8" x 5 3/8", scraps for the flowers and sentiment

Petal Park stamp set

Petal Park Builder Punch

Best Family Ever stamp set

Basic Pearls

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Polished Pink ink

Pear Pizzazz ink

Instructions

On the long side score at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layer to the card front.

Stamp the large leaf outline image in the centre of the piece of basic white and then fill in the outline. Stamp the floral outline in between the leaves and then stamp the fill.

Stamp the floral image again on some scrap and punch out, stamp and punch out two additional small flowers. Scrumple these flowers to give them some dimension and add them over the top of the stamped flowers and tuck the two spare ones around the main flower.

Stamp some of the dots around the image as you can see in the photo.

Add this stamped layer to the card front and add some pearls to the centre of all of the flowers.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and then layer it up on a scrap of the dsp, add to the card front using dimensionals.

Instructions

On the long side score the thick card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the gingham dsp to the card front and the 1/4" strip to the inside right hand side.

Stamp the flower a few times on post it notes and fussy cut them out to use as masks, I made 3.

I stamped the detailed part of the floral image first, full strength, then filled in the flower but stamped off once to make it lighter. Cover the first completed flower and then repeat the process for the 2nd, then cover with the mask and stamp the third.

While all 3 masks are in place, stamp the leaves and then remove the masks.

Add this piece to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment in pool party ink and then layer up on the pool party scrap, add to the card front using dimensionals.

Sprinkle a few gems and the card is complete.

Country Gingham Petal Park Birthday Card - Stamp N Hop

Hi Everyone,

For the Stamp 'N' Hop Blog Hop this month I have chosen to use the Country Gingham dsp with the beautiful Petal Park and Best Family Ever stamp sets from the new Mini Catalogue. I love the gingham (anyone who knows me knows that haha), I love the subtle colours which can be teamed up with all sorts of stamp sets and dies and punches. The new Petal Park stamp set comes with a punch too and is a quick and easy way to add some flowers to your project.

Materials

1 piece of mint macaron card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

2 pieces of basic white card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scraps for the sentiment and flowers

1 piece of dsp 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

Mint macaron ink

Fresh Freesia ink

So Saffron ink

Pear Pizzazz ink

Petal Park stamp set

Petal Park Builder Punch

Hearts Punch Pack

Best Family Ever stamp set

Adhesive Backed Milky Dots

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the mint macaron card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add one of the basic white mats to the card front and then add the dsp layer.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of basic white and adhere to the inside of the card.

Stamp some flowers and leaves on some scrap basic white and punch out, crumple the flowers a little bit to give them some definition and dimension.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap and punch out with the straight edged heart and then punch out the scalloped one in the mint macaron and layer the two together.

Add the sentiment using dimensionals and add some of the smallest flowers and a leaf. Then arrange the remaining flowers and leaves on the card front adding some on dimensionals. I also added some to the inside of the card.

Add the Milky Dots to the flower centres and the card is complete.
