Heartfelt Blooms, Once More

I just had to play a little more with the Heartfelt Blooms Sale-A-Bration set! This time I did some fussy cutting and partial fussy cutting.

Partial fussy cutting is a good option if you don't like doing it, because you can still get the 3D look without as much work. You just use your Stampin' Trimmer to cut straight on three side sides, and on the fourth side you carefully cut with the trimmer up to the image. Then use Paper Snips to cut around the image, so it hangs off the edge. I did do some extra cutting by stamping the image again and fussy cutting just the main flower to pop up on dimensionals.

I've had this Ruffled Dynamic TIEF for ages but haven't ever used it! That happens more than I care to admit. Anyhoo, I thought it would be a perfectly lovely background. Remember when using a Dynamic embossing folder to lightly spritz the cardstock with water (pat the excess off with a paper towel) before embossing. And only use one clear plate, not two!

Heartfelt Blooms Tutorial

Here is the other take on yesterday's card, and the "How To", as promised! I think I like this one even better than the last, probably because it's in the blue family.

To begin you will need to cut:

• Whisper White: 2-5/8" x 4-1/8"
• Tranquil Tide: 2-3/4" x 4-1/4"
• Pool Party: 4" x 5-1/4"
• Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon: 9" piece
• Whisper White: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored & folded at 4-1/4"

1. Stamp blossom in Pool Party ink on left side of white cardstock, so the bloom only comes to about the center.  Stamp greeting in Basic Black Archival ink on lower right. Adhere to Tranquil Tide mat.
   
2. Emboss Pool Party cardstock with Softly Falling embossing folder.
   
3. Adhere embossed cardstock to card base, and adhere folded ribbon as shown.
   
4. Add Stampin' Dimensionals to back of image and adhere to card base.
   
   
   
   
5. Use the Light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends maker to color a silver Metallic Enamel Shapes heart.
   
6. Attach heart and trim ends of ribbon.

Heartfelt Blooms - Sale-A-Bration!

This Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is one of the awesome items you can earn with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration, and it's available in wood mount or clear mount. It is so easy to just stamp the blooms in any color you want, and add one of the beautiful script greetings with some coordinating cardstock and BOOM, you're done!

I used Sweet Sugarplum ink on Whisper White cardstock, and matted it on Fresh Fig. Then the blossoms were stamped again on the card base with VersaMark ink.

To reduce bulk the Fresh Fig ribbon was just folded over instead of tied in a bow. The Glitter Enamel Dots matched the whole thing perfectly!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another take on this card, with a photo tutorial!
