As I mentioned on my Facebook Live video this week, I love the new pansy Patch Bundle! There are lots of stamps and dies to choose from when creating, and you can opt for flowers made by stamping or just made by using the dies. Whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed.
For this card, I chose to highlight the pansy dies and used colors coordinating with the DSP. If you haven’t already watched the video from earlier this week, check it out for more ideas using this set.
I will also be sending another idea plus some graphics for the die set to everyone on my email list, so be sure you have signed up for that! If you’re not on my list, you can sign up to the right of this post.
Cut Cardstock:
- Card Base: Polished Pink – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First Layer: Pansy Petals DSP – 5 1/4″ x 4″
- First layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Second Layer: Pale Papaya – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
- Flower Pieces: Scraps of Basic White, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Bumblebee
Assembly:
Adhere the DSP to the card base. Crop the Pale Papaya cardstock with the largest Stitched So Sweetly die. Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment using Polished Pink ink onto the upper right corner, then adhere this piece to the card front using dimensionals.
Crop the Polished Pink and Basic White cardstock with the large pansy dies, making sure to crop two of the single large petal pieces from Basic White and two of the large petal trim pieces from Polished Pink cardstock. There’s a tiny die for the flower center; crop a scrap of Bumblebee cardstock with that and be careful not to lose that tiny die!
Crop the leaf and stem pieces from Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock. Assemble the flower and leaf pieces – if you need a refresher on this, watch the Facebook Live video I made demonstrating this. Attach the flower bud and leaves to the card front using seal and dimensionals, refer to photo for placement.
Inside:
Stamp the sentiment using Polished Pink ink to the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock. Use Polished Pink ink to stamp a small pansy on the lower left corner. Stamp the flower in the following order:
- Stamp the detailed image with full strength Polished Pink ink.
- Next, use the solid image with Polished Pink ink, being sure to stamp off once on scrap paper so that the pink is a lighter shade.
- Stamp the flower highlight with Blackberry Bliss ink, then the center with Bumblebee ink.
Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, repeat the stamped image of the small pansy on the lower-left corner of the envelope.
