In Bloom Birthday Card - Stampin' Dreams - Scraps

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping today with the Stampin' Dreams group and the theme is 'Scraps'. I had a lot of bits of coloured card and wanted to play with the Pierced Blooms dies as they are retiring soon. I love making cards with these dies, they are so pretty, I'm really going to miss them but I'm sure there will be something equally gorgeous coming in the new catalogue that I will love just as much.

Materials

1 piece of bermuda bay card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

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

Scraps of bermuda bay, polished pink, daffodil delight, granny apple green to make the flowers

Polished Pink ink

In Bloom stamp set

Pierced Bloom dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Take Your Pick Tool

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Iridescent Rhinestones

Blue adhesive backed gems

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

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

Die cut a selection of flowers and leaves with the dies. Arrange the flowers on a piece of white card and when you are happy with the arrangement, adhere them in place, I have used multipurpose adhesive and dimensionals to give some dimension to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment in the bottom right hand corner of the white card in polished pink ink and then adhere this layer to the card front. If you are worried about stamping, you should do this before you arrange the flowers (I was lucky and it worked out fine).

I've used a combination of iridescent rhinestones and blue adhesive backed gems for flower centres on some of the flowers and then added 3 butterflies (I love these).

Stamp another sentiment on the remaining piece of card and add to the inside of the card.

Card done! A quick and easy card to make with a handful of scraps.

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

Penguin Place, Gingerbread & Peppermint Christmas Card

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping today with the Stampin' Dreams group and the theme is 'Christmas' so I thought I would see what scraps I had left on my desk and use them up to make a cute Christmas card. I've used the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer series paper and added a cute penguin from the Penguin Place stamp set. Let me show you how I made it:

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white card stock 5 3/4" x 11 1/2"

1 piece of dsp 5 1/2" square, 1/2" x 5 3/4" strip, scraps

Scraps of basic white and basic black for stamping and punching out

Scraps of Gingerbread & Peppermint dsp, I have fussy cut two tree cookies and a star

Penguin Place stamp set

Penguin Builder Punch

Paper snips

Real red ink

Highland heather ink

Bermuda Bay ink

Pumpkin pie ink

Memento black ink

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side, score the thick white card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish to make a square card.

Adhere the large piece of dsp to the card front.

Fussy cut two iced trees, 1 cookie and 6 peppermints.

Stamp 7 packages in different colours and fussy cut them out as well as 1 bobble hat for the penguin.

Adhere one tree to the card front and lay the other one over the top with dimensionals at the bottom left. Add the cookie star at the top right with dimensionals.

Punch out the black and white body pieces for the penguin. Stamp the eyes in black, the bow tie in real red and the feet and the beak with pumpkin pie.

Adhere the hat to the back of the head, add the white body layer on top of the black and fix to the card front with dimensionals at the side of the trees. Arrange the parcels around him and the trees using dimensionals and multipurpose adhesive.

Stamp the sentiment and cut it out in 3 sections, add a strip of dimensional to the back and arrange on the card front above the trees.

Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card, adhere the dsp strip and the peppermints.

I hope that you like my quick card using up my scraps, please pop over and see what everyone else has been making too.
