Pick of the Week ~ 3D Flowers

 Pick of the Week
Sep 242018
 

Hello crafty friends! I’ve been having fun creating some large 3D sunflowers for fall themed cards. It got me to thinking….. wouldn’t it be fun to make some mini 3D flowers as well?
Well it was fun, and today I’m sharing the super easy steps to making these bright and cheerful blooms using the 10307-H, Patti’s Flower Outline Repeat Impressions stamp.

To create my card I:

- Embossed a piece of white card stock with the sunburst embossing folder from Darice
- Sponged Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade distress ink (Ranger) over the embossing
- Stamped 629-I, Mountain Vista and 2719-K, Lg Pine Tree over the sponging in Black Soot Distress Ink (Ranger)
- Scored a piece of kraft card stock (Martha Stewart scoring board) every 1/2 inch 
  • to create the double lines I slightly offset the original scoring and scored again
  • inked my background with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide (Ranger)

- Die cut a window using the Window Two die from Spellbinders

  •  inked it with Gathered Twigs distress ink (Ranger)

To create my 3D Flowers I:
Stamped 10307-H, Patti’s Flower Outline in Gathered Twigs Distress Ink (Ranger) on yellow card stock
Inked the centers (using sponge daubers) with Fossilized Amber & Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink (Ranger)
Fussy cut the flowers and snipped the petal lines

Turned my flowers over and spritzed them with water
Crumpled each flower into a tight ball
Unfolded and pinched a few petals for more dimension before drying with a heat gun
Layered one on top of the other and added some instant coffee granules to the center with Elmer’s Glue

The last step was creating a collage of flowers and leaves using the Fall Foliage Die set (Sizzix - Tim Hotlz) and the Meadowbird Branch die set (Memory Box).
I inked all the leaves and vines with distress ink to make them look a bit more realistic and add depth/dimension.

I hope you’ll try this super fun technique! And when you do, be sure to stop by and link up your projects in this week’s “Anything Goes” Challenge so we can all enjoy your creativity!

Pick of the Week ~ Coffee Gift Card Holder

 Pick of the Week
Sep 172018
 

Hi… Donna here with my Pick of the Week for The House That Stamps Built. I am sharing a quick and easy project for you as September always seems to be a busy time.

For my card you need an A2 envelope, brown cardstock - 5 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ and 2 1/2 x 4″,
ivory cardstock 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″

Fold and score your envelope in half, envelope opening to the inside. Stamp the front of the envelope with Repeat Impressions’ 3404-C Random Dots. Stamp the ivory cardstock with the flowered cup from 9303-P, Thanks a latte’ and sponge the edges with the same ink.

Open your envelope and stamp the Thanks a latte sentiment from the same stamp set.

I then used a coffee bean stencil from my stash.

Attach your ribbon to the back of your cardstock and on top of your folded envelope after attaching your envelope with adhesive of choice. Then attach top two layers and embellish. This card is ideal to tuck in a Starbucks gift card and/or a handwritten note.

Thanks for stopping by today.

~ Donna
