Blossoms in Bloom Bundle

Hey all!  This week I am featuring the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle!  This is such a versatile bundle and I know you are all going to love it!!!    First, I wanted to share a little personal news just so you guys know what's been going on with me.  On June 23rd, my husband, Ralph, was diagnosed with Colon Cancer.  He had surgery on July 14th to remove the tumor and yesterday we found out that they were able to successfully remove all of the cancer and he will not require Chemo.  It has been a long month but we are so thankful that Ralph had such a good outcome!

Now, back to Stamping!  I shared three projects on my Facebook Live (originally aired on Sunday, July 28th but I had to re-record it, so it was posted yesterday).  The first project was inspired by Jennifer McGuire and the other two were inspired by Stampin' Up!  So without further ado, here they are!

CARD 1




Supplies: 

Stamps:  Blossoms In Bloom

Cardstock:  Misty Moonlight – four pieces – two cut to 8 ½” x 5 ½” (cardbases) and scored at 4 ¼”, two cut to ¾” x 4”; Whisper White – five pieces – one cut to 8” x 4 ¼”, two cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and two cut to ½” x 4”

Ink:  Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, So Saffron, Just Jade

Accessories:  Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, Clear and Frosted Epoxy Droplets, Stamparatus, Stampin’ Seal adhesive

 

Place 8” x 4 ¼” piece of Whisper White Cardstock into the Stamparatus (left edge of cardstock will hang out of the Stamparatus and that is fine).  Place the largest image in the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set in the center of your Whisper White Cardstock so that it is in the center of the cardstock and down about 1” from the top.  The bottom of the stamp will not be on the cardstock.  Close the Stamparatus so the top plate will pick up the stamp.  Open the Stamparatus and ink the stamp with Misty Moonlight ink.  Close the Stamparatus again to stamp the image onto the cardstock.  Open the Stamparatus and remove the stamped cardstock. 

 

(Use the photo below for placement of the following).   Ink the flower center image with Bumblebee ink to stamp the center of the flowers.  Next use Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp the center of the flowers, offsetting from the previously stamped Bumblebee images.  Ink the smallest flower image with Calypso Coral ink and randomly stamp around the large floral image).  Ink the leaf stamp with Just Jade Ink to add a few leaves to the flowers.  Ink flower center image with So Saffron ink and stamp around the whole image.

 

Next cut the image into two 4” pieces.  You will now have two pieces of cardstock with mirror images.  Mount these to the Misty Moonlight card bases.  Stamp desired sentiments onto each of the ½” strips of

Whisper White Cardstock keeping in mind that one sentiment will be on the left side of the card and one on the right.  Use the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to punch the ends of both ½” Whisper White Pieces and also to punch the ¾” Misty Moonlight pieces.  Adhere the sentiments to the the ¾” Misty Moonlight pieces and adhere one sentiment to each card.  Embellish with the Clear and Frosted Epoxy Droplets. 

 

Stamp any image desired to accent the two 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of Whisper White Cardstock and adhere to the inside off each card.  Voila!  Two cards done!
