It's a beautiful, sunny day outside today in Midland, Michigan. We had lots of rain over the weekend and this morning. It's nice to have all the humidity gone!!! The high temp for today is 74F with a low of 56F for tonight. The winds are NNW at 5 to 10mph.
My share for today is five Note Cards that I designed using the Color & Contour and Plentiful Plants Stamp Set, Scalloped Contours and Perennial Petals Dies, the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum, five embossing folders and more. Let's take a look:
If you are not a reader of blogs and just like the pictures, (like someone I know), just Scroll Down through my Blog. 😊😊😊
My Card Base is Fresh Freesia Cardstock cut to measure 5" x 7" and scored at 3-1/2" for a Note Card.
I trimmed out a Panel of Evening Evergreen to measure 3" x 4-1/4" for my Card Front Panel.
I trimmed out a Panel Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum to measure 2-3/4" x 4" and embossed it with the Checks and Dots (there are two folders; this is the Checks) Embossing Folder. (I used the negative Vellum leftover piece on the inside of my Note Card.)
I adhered the Vellum Panel to the Card Front Panel with strategically placed Mono Multi Purpose Glue (where you would not be able to see the glue behind the Vellum).
I cut a length of Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon, wrapped it around my Panel and adhered it 1" up from the bottom and secured each end of the Ribbon in back with both Mono Multi Purpose Glue and Tape.
Using the Perennial Petals Dies, I die cut out the Leaf Stems from Evening Evergreen Cardstock and adhered it to the Vellum with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. (See Below how I stamped and die cut this Flower.)
This technique is 'old hat'; but, it will benefit those who are new to stamping and make it much easier to stamp and die cut their Color & Contour Flowers.
To start out, I normally pick out an 'odd ball' petal on the Flower Stamp and place a black mark with a black felt pen just above that petal on the edge of the Stamp itself.
I also line up the coordinating Die and place a black mark on the Die where that 'odd ball' petal is located. This just makes it so much easier and quicker to stamp and line up your die to die cut out the Flowers.
I adhered the Flower to my Card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I fussy cut out the Flower Bud and adhered it to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
I cut another length of Ribbon, tied it into a knot on one end, trimmed the other end upward and adhered it to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. (I put a blob of Glue onto the Knot and let it set up some before adhering it under the Flower.)
Using my Stampin' Write Marker in Fresh Freesia, I colored my Basic Jewel Pearls with Fresh Freesia, let them dry and then adhered them to my Flower and Cards.
For the inside of my Card:
I trimmed out a Panel of Thick Whisper White Cardstock to measure 2-11/16 x 3-15/16".
Using the Plentiful Plants Stamp Set, I masked my stamp and only stamped 'A Little Note' in Memento Black Ink onto the top of the Panel.
I adhered the negative Vellum die cut to the Whisper White Panel with tiny spots of Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
Using the Strawberry Builder Punch, I punched out one of the Flowers from the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum and adhered it to the Panel with a small dot of Mono Multi Purpose Glue in the back of the center of the Flower.
Using the Turtle Punch, I punched the Medium Dot from Soft Succulent Cardstock and adhered it to the Center of the Flower.
I adhered the Panel to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
Now, onto my other four Note Cards:
My Card Base is Evening Evergreen Cardstock.
My Card Front Panel is Soft Succulent Cardstock.
The Shimmer Vellum is Evening Evergreen embossed with the 'Bark' Embossing Folder.
The Leaf Stem is die cut from Soft Succulent Cardstock.
