Pink Vellum Wreath Card

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello stampers,

Do you like cards that are feminine, elegant, and easy?  Then, here’s a card I think you’ll like.  It was cased from one I saw either on FB or Pinterest.  I forgot to write down the maker's name.  I’ve made this card in pink, one of my favorite colors, but I think it would look very pretty in lavender or yellow.  What do think?

I love the vellum background which I embossed with the Stampin' Up Country Floral 3d embossing folder.

  

To adhere the vellum panel to the card base, I used Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive.  This tape is absolutely perfect to us with vellum as it does not show through the vellum.  I highly recommend it.

Here are some directions for making the card: 

1. Pink card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2
2. Vellum panel 5-3/8 x 4-1/8 inches
3. Emboss medium weight vellum panel with Stampin’ Up Country Floral
    Embossing folder.
4. Die cut one wreath using Cottage Cutz Build-a-Grapevine-Wreath.
5. Glue the wreath to the vellum panel.
6. On the back of the vellum panel, place 4 small strips of Vellum Tape
    behind the wreath.
7. On white card stock, die cut one each:
            Savvy Dies Tall Branches with Leaves #10108 and
            Savvy Dies Wishing Flower #10090.
8. Sponge the leaves with Distress Ink Lucky Clover.
9. Sponge the flower with Distress Ink Worn Lipstick.
10. Glue them to the left side of the wreath.
11. Tie a twine bow with a 10-inch piece of twine and attach on stems.
12. Stamp “Friends” sentiment on pink card stock and punch out with

    Stampin’ Up small oval punch.
13. Glue the sentiment label to the lower right side of the wreath.
14. Add a drop of Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss - Bubblegum Blush to the

    center of the flower.

Now it's your turn. Have fun!

Blessings, 

Annie

 

Hearts-a-Plenty

Hello again friends,

I just got back from the gym and need to take a little rest break.  So I thought what better time than now to enter my next blog post showcasing two of the cards we made at my last class.

The first card is a case from Pinterest. I couldn't resist because I'm just smitten with the Impression Obsession Heart Flourish.  I also loved those little tiny flowers, made with the Impression Obsession dies Spiral Flowers and Leaf Cluster.  To make it suit my fancy, I used a different border punch (Stampin' Up hearts border) and added red card stock under the punched border.  I also decorated the inside of the card by adding red strips to both inside panels and decorated them with the punched out white hearts created by the border punch.  A big thank you goes to Kittie Caracciolo for inspiring me to create this card.

 This second card has kind of an old-fashioned look which I love.  The ribbon overlaying the decorative paper (which has raised embossing on it) has an embroidered flower design with sequins attached.  Not sure how well it shows up in the picture but it's really pretty.  It originally was a wired ribbon, but I removed the wire to make it lay more smoothly.  To hold it in place, I used 1/8" Red Line Tape (can use Score Tape), on both sides of the ribbon and over to the back side at top and bottom.

I die cut the "love" heart from red card stock using the Savvy Die Love Heart #10061 and backed it with white card stock.  For the final touch, I punched two sizes of small hearts and then added white floss to one of the larger ones.  All of the hearts are adhered with mounting tape.

Well, that's it for today.  Thanks for checking out this post!

Blessings,
Annie
