Purple Pansies - InspireINK Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Today I am hopping with the lovely InspireINK group and the theme is 'Purple'. Now, Gez Carpenter chose the theme and purple is her favourite colour, so I thought I would make a card full of purple pansies (she thinks they look like Ewoks haha). Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of blackberry bliss card stock 4 1/4" x 9 3/8", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 8 1/2"

2 pieces of basic white card 2 7/8" x 4", , 1 piece 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

1 piece of dsp 4" x 6", 3 pieces 2 7/8" x 4" (New Horizons)

5 large pansies, 2 small pansies, 2 leaves from the Pansy Petals dsp

Gorgeous Grape ink

Pansy Patch stamp set

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Gingham Embossing Folder

Stitched So Sweetly dies

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the largest piece of blackberry bliss at 6 1/4" and the smaller on at 4 1/4" and fold and burnish to make the two card bases.

Run the largest piece of dsp through the machine in the Gingham Embossing Folder and then adhere to the inside of the larger card. Then add the two of the 3 matching pieces to the front and back of the flap.

Remember that the smaller one opens the opposite way and add the remaining dsp to the front flap of that card.

Adhere the smaller card to the larger one positioning it so that it opens the opposite way and sits centrally on the card (see finished card).

Stamp a sentiment on one of the pieces of white card and then adhere in the smaller card, add the remaining piece of white to the reverse of the small card front. Adhere one of the large pansies on this piece.

Die cut/fussy cut a selection of leaves and flowers from the Pansy Petals dsp.

Die cut the stitched rectangle that almost fills the front of the smaller card in white card and stamp the sentiment, in Gorgeous Grape ink in the top right hand corner.

Arrange 3 large pansies across the bottom of the white mat and add the 2 leaves (I've used dimensionals for the flowers). Tuck in the 2 small ones above as shown.

Add dimensionals to the back of the remaining pansy, just on the left side as it sits on the card and add to the side of the card so that it overlaps the front of the smaller card and keeps it closed (it's effectively a tuck point).

I really like how this card has turned out but I wish that I had embossed all of the dsp layers instead of just the largest one but never mind.

Please pop over and see what everyone else has made, you are sure to be inspired.

Daffodil Daydream Easter Card - Crafty Collaborations Easter Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

I'm Easter hopping today with the Crafty Collaborations group and I've paired up the gorgeous Daffodil Daydream with the Pansy Petals gingham dsp for a lovely Spring like Easter card. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of soft succulent card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

2 pieces of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of Pansy Petals dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Stitched So Sweetly dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Daffodil Daydream stamp set

Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends

Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends

Memento Black ink

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Soft succulent ribbon

Mini Glue Dots

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Trimmer

Instructions

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

Wrap the ribbon around the dsp and fasten on the back with stick tape. Adhere the dsp to the card front.

Die cut the largest rectangle from the dies in basic white and stamp the large daffodil in the centre towards the bottom in memento ink. Then stamp the sentiment towards the top left as in the picture. Colour the flowers with Stampin' Blends and then add this layer to the card front using dimensionals.

Tie a small bow with the ribbon and add to the card front at the side of the flowers.

Adhere the remaining basic white card to the inside of the card.

I hope that you like my Easter card, please pop over and see what everyone else has made too.
