It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! For each Thursday in July, we pick a different sample from Stampin’ Up’s! Annual Catalog to use as our inspiration. We are not copying the card but using it to inspire our creation…maybe we use the same set or the colors or the layout or some combination of all the above…it is fun seeing where the inspiration piece will take each of the designers! Here’s this week’s inspiration:
PERFECTLY PEARS
I knew I didn’t want to use flowers to recreate this card, but I love the layout! Hmmm, Perfectly Pears to the rescue!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Painterly Pears Designer Paper was added to the top.
- The Party Banner was cut from Lemon Lolly cardstock and added to the front.
- Two pears from Perfectly Pears stamp set were stamped with Memento Black Ink outlines and Lemon Lime Twist brushed with Old Olive Ink for the insides. They were speckled with Cajun Craze Ink and cut with the dies.
- The leaves were stamped with Memento Black Ink and Old Olive Ink for the insides, then cut with the dies.
- The pears and leaves/stems were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two flower clusters were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. The centers were stamped with Cajun Craze Ink. They were cut with the dies and added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greenery vine was cut from Old Olive cardstock and added to the bottom of the banner.
- Celebrate from Thoughtful Moments Dies/Embossing Folder was added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of green Low Profile Sparkle Dots were added to the background.
Yep…three sets of dies, but it was worth it! I’ll be using this layout again! Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
