Welcome everyone!!! I am so very happy you have joined me today for another edition of Triple Play Thursday. The stamp set featured this week is Basket of Blooms. The images are perfect for creating beautiful and cheerful hand made card to share with someone special.
The featured card today uses the basket image and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. Note the orientation on this card is horizontal, not vertical like the other two cards today. This layout is very flexible and looks great for both orientations.
Started with a piece of 5" x 4 1/4" Very Vanilla cardstock. Emboss using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder then wrapped with Linen Thread. Next, stamp the basket image using Gray Granite Ink on a piece of DSP from the In Good Taste printed paper. The basket is then hand cut (fussy cut) from the DSP. The coordinating piece of printed paper is 3" x 4" and is layered behind the Stitched So Sweetly die, slightly offset at an angle. I'm using the second to largest Stitched So Sweetly die cut from Very Vanilla cardstock. The flowers are stamped in Gray Granite ink on Very Vanilla and then colored with Calypso Coral (center) and Petal Pink (petal ends) Blends. The leaves are also stamped in Gray Granite on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored with Old Olive Blends, then fussy cut. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings stamped in Early Espresso on a piece of Very Vanilla. The flowers are adhered using Stampin' Dimensional with Champaign Rhinestones added to make the centers sparkle. A beautiful card for any occasion, simply adjust the sentiment.
The second card shifts orientation to vertical, and highlights some bright new In Colors, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee.
The background layer of this card is embossed with the Brick & Mortar embossing folder, then spritzed using the Magenta Madness Blends. Tie a Magenta Madness ribbon around the embossed layer, then adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base. The printed paper is from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. Next, to create the focal image, the flower pot was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then colored with Cinnamon Cider Blends and fussy cut out. The flowers were stamped with Memento Black Ink and the smaller flowers are colored with Mango Melody and fussy cut, and the larger flowers were colored with Magenta Madness and punched out with the coordinating Small Bloom punch. I've added Wink of Stella to each flower, for a little sparkle. The leaf images are stamped directly on the Stitched So Sweetly die, and colored with Granny Apple Green. I adhered the flower pot using Stampin' Dimensional and then added the flowers. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings stamped in Magenta Madness on a piece of Whisper White. The finishing touch is adding 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the flower centers and sprinkled on the card.
The final card today also uses In Colors, both current year (Just Jade) and last year (Pretty Peacock).
The background layer of this card is embossed with the Brick & Mortar embossing folder on Gray Granite cardstock. Next tie a Just Jade ribbon around the embossed layer, then adhered to a Just Jade card base. The Stitched So Sweetly dies is cut from printed paper using the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. The 3" x 4" piece is Pretty Peacock card stock, separated using the faux suede technique. Next, to create the focal image, the flower pot was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black Ink, and colored with Just Jade Blends and fussy cut out. The flowers were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Highland Heather and Pool Party and fussy cut. The leaf images are stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored with Pretty Peacock Blends. I adhered the flower pot using Stampin' Dimensional and then added the leaf and flowers images as shown. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings, stamped on Whisper White in Memento Black Ink. The finishing touch is adding In Color Enamel Dots to the flower centers.
I hope you have been inspired to try this layout or use this stamp set to create some cards to share. If you have any questions, please email me.
