just love getting happy mail especially swapping with my sister demonstrators
making frames with concentric dies
The card below however uses the inside die cut from the Stitched Rectangles die set (#151820) for a more tailored look. I mounted a smaller piece of DSP cut from a smaller Stitched Rectangle die. Popped up a Flower image and the sentiment from the Hand Penned Petals Bundle (#155492) all mounted to a Fresh Freesia cardstock base (155613).
The first card uses the frame created when two concentric Layering Circles dies are used (#151770) I layered a Highland Heather circle die in the center. added flowers and the sentiment from the Color and Contour Stamp set (#154994) and tghe sentiment is stamped on a die cut from the Scalloped Contour dies from the Color and Contour Bundle (##158356) I finished the card with a llittle bling from the 2021-2022 In Color Jewels (#155571)
The second card uses the negative space of the frame cut outs and used the lighter pattern on the back a more subtle look. I die cut Penned Flowers in Highland Heather Cardstocka nd added Pastel Pearls to the card (#154571)

YES 48! sheets – 4 each of 12 double sided designs of 12″ x 12″ paper!

pretty flowers 3D embossing folder
I started with Shimmery White cardstock (#101910) cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and embossed in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine (#149653) with the new Pretty Flowers Folder.
The first sample below I used Sponge Daubers (#133773) and direct to the folder on the side with the Stampin’ Up! logo I sponged Crushed Curry ink (#147087) onto the flower images and Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104) onto the leaf images. Using a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) with water inside – I spritzed the folder, added the Shimmery White Cardstock and embossed it with the Pretty Flowers folder. What you get is a subtle colored background and foreground embedded into the embossed image! I added a hello sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) stamped in Crushed Curry ink ona Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).
This is a MUST HAVE for any of my flower lovers!
I hope that I inspired you to go out and create art one stamp at a time! Until next time…
Happy Stampin’
