Creativity Abounds Design Team Blog Hop - June 2021

 

Here are the amazing Stampin' Up Demonstrators in our Creativity Abounds Design Team! If you've been following my blog, I'm sure you've already fallen in love with these remarkable ladies.

This month we're focusing on the Hand-Penned Petal Bundle. I've been having so much fun playing with this bundle and I want to share a fun fold card with you this month.

To make this card 

• Take a piece of 8.5" x 11.0" Just Jade cardstock. 
• Place the short end of the cardstock at the top of your trimmer and score at 4.25"
• Turn the paper so the long end of the cardstock is at the top of your trimmer and score at 5.5"
• Cut the paper on the diagonal so you have two pieces that both look like this. (See Photo A below).
• Use your bone folder to make crisp folds on both score lines.
• Take a piece of 4.0" x 5.25" Hand-Penned Designer Series paper and cut on a diagonal.
• Attach the two cut pieces of Hand-Penned Designer Series paper to the flaps on the front of the card using your favorite adhesive.
• Take a piece of 4.0" x 5.25" Basic White cardstock and attach it to the inside of the card using your favorite adhesive.
• Use the flowers and leaves from the Penned Flowers Die set and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out two flowers using Polished Pink cardstock and leaves using Just Jade.
• Attach the flowers and leaves to the bottom of the Basic White cardstock using your favorite adhesive and dimensionals. 
• Add two small pearls to the center of the Pink Polished flowers (See Photo B below).
• Use the Stitched So Sweetly die and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
• Stamp the bottom of the scalloped rectangle with the "Thanks" sentiment from the Hand-Penned Petal Stamp set using Cinnamon Cider ink.
• Stamp the flower arrangement from the Hand-Penned Stamp set onto the upper portion of the scalloped rectangle using Cinnamon Cider ink.
• Color the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Polished Pink markers. Then color the leaves with a Just Jade marker.
• Add a pearl to the middle of the Polished Pink flower.
• Take an 18" piece of Pale Papaya Ribbon and color with Daffodil Delight blends OR use a sponge to wipe the ribbon with Daffodil Delight ink and let it dry.
• Tie the Daffodil Delight Ribbon into a bow on the side of the card.
• Attach the scalloped rectangle with the colored image to the top of the card using dimensionals only on the upper right-hand side so the card will open when someone unties the bow.
