Dainty Flowers Book Mark - InspireINK Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

The theme this month is 'New Year' and with the New Year in the Stampin' Up world, comes a new Mini Catalogue. I wanted to show off the beautiful panels in the Dainty Flowers designer series paper which is FREE during Sale-a-Bration (with a £45 purchase). I designed a book mark to send to my customers along with their new catalogues using the panels and added in the Eden dies and the Basic Border dies to decorate the edges rather than leave them plain. I hope that they like them and that you do too.

Materials

1 piece of old olive card stock 3" x 7"

1 piece of thick basic white 3" x 7"

Scrap of basic white for stamping

1 panel from the Dainty Flowers dsp trimmed to 2" x 6"

Scrap of old olive ribbon

Old olive ink

Charming Sentiments stamp set

Sentiment Silhouette dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Eden dies

Basic Border dies

Multipurpose adhesive

Hole punch (not SU)

Instructions

Using the Eden edge die run the piece of old olive card through the machine twice so that the decorative edge is on both sides of the book mark. This will leave a piece at the top that isn't cut - you need this for the ribbon to be attached.

Adhere the old olive piece to the basic white lining up the edges (I've done this to protect the decorative edge and also to show it off better.

Place the Border die across the top of the book mark to give a pointed shape (see picture of finished item) and run this through the machine.

Punch a hole in the top of this and thread through the ribbon and trim the ends so they don't fray.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap in old olive and then run this through the machine using the appropriate silhouette die.

Then adhere the dsp panel to the centre front of the book mark and it's complete.

Ever Eden - Eden's Garden Card - Get Your DSP before it retires!

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to use up the beautiful Ever Eden designer series paper, it's so pretty but will only be around until the end of December which is a shame. I saw a Canadian Demonstrator (Tina Zinck) make this card and I thought it was so pretty, I should CASE it, so I have. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of soft succulent card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 3 7/8"

1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scraps for stamping

1 piece of Ever Eden dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 3" x 3"

Scrap of gold foil for the leaves

Soft succulent ink

Evening Evergreen ink

Eden's Garden stamp set

Eden dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine

Stamperatus

Garden gems

Paper snips

12" of evening evergreen ribbon

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini glue dots

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Sponge dauber

Instructions

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

Stamp some leaves down both long sides of the basic white layer and adhere to the inside.

Stamp the sentiment in evening evergreen on a 1/2" strip of basic white and trim as shown in the picture.

Using the Stamperatus (or other stamping platform) stamp the large floral image in soft succulent on a scrap of basic white. I inked this up twice to get a strong image. Then using a sponge dauber and evening evergreen ink, highlight just the berries (you could use a Stampin Write Marker) and stamp again. Fussy cut this image.

Die cut three leaves from the Eden dies using gold foil.

Adhere the large dsp layer to the card front and then add the 3" square towards the top leaving equal borders on 3 sides as shown.

Add the cut out image using dimensionals to the centre of the 3" square and tuck in the gold leaves around it. Add 3 gems to the berries in the centre of the image.

Wrap the ribbon around the centre of the strip of soft succulent leangthwise and secure on the back with sticky tape. Adhere this to the card front as shown. Add the sentiment to the left side of this section and then tie a small bow and add to the sideof the sentiment on top of the ribbon using mini glue dots.

I think this is a really pretty card and the layout is one that could be used again and again with all sorts of different papers and stamp sets, why don't you give it a try.
