Pansy Patch #stampinup

Pansy Patch by Stampin' Up!

This is an extra special greeting for an extra special lady. Little pansy faces always bring a smile!

 

Pansy Patch

Both of these sentiments are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set #154999. I also used the coordinating Pansy Dies #155680.

 

Pansy Patch Stamp Set

These colors flow together so well: Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape! 

I have a new internet provider and it's GREAT to be back!!

Cheerful Daisies #161297

Do it differently!! Here is a unique technique for the popular Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set #161290.

20230418_160626

Stamp a full sheet of flowers in black ink on white card stock. Stamp randomly and fairly close together.

 

Stampin' Up! #161297

Grab your Blending Brushes #153611 and two ink pad. I chose Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo ink pads. Apply the colors to your stamped card stock. I chose to do wide bands of soft colors. Using a Sponge Dauber #133773, I added flower centers with Pecan Pie ink pad. Cut into four cards front layers.

Use any extra strips for the inside of the card. Don't waste anything!!

Regency Park 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper

Designer Series Paper #160559

Here is a FUN idea using Regency Park Designer Series Paper #160559. This fold shows both sides of the designer paper.

 

20230305_145754

Working with designer paper is easy. The color palette is predetermined for you.

 

Regency Park 6X6

TIPS: These rectangles are cut 2-1/2 X 1-7/8". Cut the four rectangles as "one," so they are the same size.  Cut one template the same size, and then cut off the corner at a 45 degree angle. This template determines the fold of the designer papers so they are all the same. The center opening can be varied to accommodate the focal point. The deeper the fold, the larger the center opening. This flower is created with the Petal Park Builder Punch #160576.

Blending Brushes #153611

20220814_085430

Have you tried Stampin' Up!'s Blending Brushes #153611? They are fun and amazing! I used the brushes with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks #159178. You might also call these "stencils."

 

20220811_182418

Simply collect ink on your brush, directly from an ink pad. Secure the mask over your card stock. Use light pressure on your brush to apply the ink. Heavier pressure will increase your color intensity. I wanted a SOFT application for backgrounds. Color does not have to be perfectly even. Let it vary for some for interest!

 

20220814_085500

This is one of my favorite stamp sets, Sending Smiles Bundle #158707.  Note how I curved the sentiment. It's easy to do with pliable photopolymer stamps!
