IM158 Pretty Perennials

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  I love this floral tag and was inspired to use my new Pretty Perennials Bundle.

 

PRETTY PERENNIALS

I knew I wanted to use flowers to recreate this tag, so pulled out my new Pretty Perennials stamp set and dies to see what I could come up with.  After several variations, I settled on this one looking the most like the inspiration photo!

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and added to the front.
    • The leaves from the Perennial Dies were cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered to the background.
    • The background flowers were cut from Flower & Field Designer Paper (free SAB) and added to the stems with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The outline flowers were cut from Mango Melody cardstock with the Perennial Dies and adhered with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in the center.
    • The stamens were cut from Basic Black cardstock and adhered to the centers.
    • Some Sequins for Everything (carryover item) were added to the centers and background for a little bling!
    • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and punched with the Classic Label Punch, then tucked under the flowers with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Aren’t those dies gorgeous?  They do all the work on this card…no stamping except the greeting!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Happy Thursday, everyone!  AND…happy birthday to me!!!  Although, truthfully, I’m not counting any more!  lol!  But it’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Challenge…a gorgeous color challenge this week!

 

Here’s what I came up with using the pretty Floral Essence Bundle…a stamp set and punch!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock was embossed with the Basketweave Embossing Folder and adhered to the base card.
  • A The 2-3/4 x 4 panel of Whisper White cardstock was stamped with the greeting from Floral Essence stamp set with Gorgeous Grapefruit Ink.
  • A 1/2 x 4 strip of Gorgeous Grape cardstock was added under the right side.
  • White Baker’s Twine was wrapped around and tied in a bow, then the panel added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The flowers were stamped four times with Gorgeous Grape Ink on Highland Heather cardstock, then punched with the Perennial Flower Punch.  They were adhered together, then added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The centers were stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink on Whisper White cardstock, then punched with the 1/2 Circle Punch and added to the center of the flowers.
  • The leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green on Whisper White cardstock and punched with the Leaf Punch, then adhered behind the flowers.

Such a clean and crisp look with the purples and white!  OK…make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team’s creations over on Create with Connie and Mary!
