Quiet Meadow stamp set

Welcome everyone,

I have used flowers from 2 different stamp sets on this card - Quiet Meadow (#155082) and the Honeybee Home (#157943).

I stamped the flower images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The flowers were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves. The yellow flowers were cut with the Honeybee Blooms Die (#157951) and the red flowers were fussy cut. The Granny Apple Green card  (#147014) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the leaf (behind the flowers)with a Meadow Die (#155852).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder (#157955), then matted with Poppy Parade card (#121694). I cut the Flowering Fields 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#157670) with a Layering Circles Die (#151770) and attached to the cardfront. I wrapped the Gold Fine Art Ribbon (#154561) around the matted card front. The base card is Basic White.

“Best Wishes” from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and cut with a smaller Layering Circles die. The leaf from Dahlia Days stamp set (#157799) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and attached under the sentiment with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment and the flowers were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Bumblebee Trinket (#155568) was attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

Friendly Hello & Honeybee Home

Hello friends,

I have combined the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) with the Honeybee Home stamp set (#157943) for this card.

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Hello stamp set onto Basic White card (#159228) using Just Jade ink (#153115). Then I dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). This was matted with Pale Papaya card (#155669) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 larger flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the smaller flowers from the Honeybee Home stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The 2 larger flowers were fussy cut and the small flowers were cut with the Honeybee Blooms Dies (#157951). All the flowers were coloured with Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519) and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521). 

The Gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card front and the flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is also from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Adhesive Backed Hexagons (#158148) were added to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on all the flowers to add that bit of sparkle.

TIP: When stamping and dry embossing on the same piece of card, it is usually best to stamp first, then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get the best stamping image. However I have very occasionally embossed first for a different effect, depending on the stamp. It’s always worth experimenting.
