March 2020 Stampin Friends Blog Hop
Congrats, Grads, Brides, and Babies
Hello, stamping friends! Happy first day of SPRING! I hope you have come from Katja's blog. The list of bloggers is at the bottom of my blog where you will find lots of inspiration for paper crafting.
This month our theme is CONGRATS, GRADS, BRIDES, AND BABIES. My card and 3-D project feature BABIES. Here they are:
What You Need For the Card Front--Stampin' Up! order numbers are in parentheses
Blue Card Stock 8.5 x 5.5
Scored at 4.25 (146982)
White mat 4 x 5.25
Pretty Paper (Designer Series Paper) background 5 x 3 (Subtles DSP 6 x 6 149615)
Pretty paper for the letters
Four white stitched and scalloped rectangles (Stitched So Sweetly stamp set 151690)
Scrap blue piece for stars (Stitched Stars die cuts 150653) and small
scalloped "welcome" mat (Well Said stamp set 148796)
Ribbon (Unfortunately this organdy ribbon is no longer available. So sad....I love it!)
Ribbon (Unfortunately this organdy ribbon is no longer available. So sad....I love it!)
What you Need to Do
Adhere the pretty paper piece to the white mat.
Wrap 6 inches of ribbon across the top portion of the card bringing the ends to the back.
Adhere the ends with tape.
Make a bow and adhere it to the ribbon with a glue dot.
Die cut the letters and adhere them to the white scalloped rectangle.
Use the smallest star die to cut four stars.
Adhere the white background piece to the blue card base.
Stamp "welcome" on a 1/2 inch scrap piece.
Adhere to the blue scalloped rectangle.
Adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals.
What You Need for the Inside of the Card
White background 4 x 5.25
White piece for inside greeting 2 x 4.5
Blue mat for inside greeting 2.25 x 4.75
Embossing folder (my heart folder is now unavailable, but there many to choose from in the catalog)
Blue scraps for heart (Stitched Labels die cuts 146828) and stars (these are tiny and difficult to pick up with my "old, numb fingers." The Take Your Pick tool to the rescue! 144107)
Wink of Stella (141897)
Dimensionals (104430)
Use a sponge to apply color to the embossing and then adhere that piece to the inside of the card.
Stamp the inside greeting. I used a stamp (not Stampin' Up!) that I have had for years.
Use a blue scrap to die cut the stars and heart. Adhere to the inside greeting piece. Use a dimensional to give the little heart some dimension. For a glittery look, coat the heart with Wink of Stella.
Adhere blue mat and inside greeting to card base.
