Kim's Kreative Korner: flowers for every season paper

Friday, March 26, 2021

Hello Stampers!

Today I'm playing along with the Mojo Monday 556 Sketch Challenge. I love sketch challenges because the sky is the limit and so many different stamp sets and Designer Series Paper work for them.

This sketch called for a 2½" circle. I love that big, gorgeous Sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. It's so easy to color with our Stampin' Blends. I just stamped it on Basic White with Memento Black ink then scribbled a little bronze in the center and dark Daffodil Delight around the petals. The stamp does the detailed work for you.

The Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper really makes this card pop and guess what??? It's on the retirement list and it's 40% off (~~$11.50~~ $6.90!) while supplies last.

Inside, I just did a stamped off version and added another little piece of the DSP.

And here's the sketch.

You can play along too, just make your card then upload it to their page. I'd love to see what YOU create!

HAPPY STAMPING!

Making a Fun Fold that will WOW the recipient!

Are you ready to make a fun card or possibly a little mini photo album for someone? Today's card looks complicated, but it's not. It has a lot of pieces but they go together lickity split :)

I started with a 4¼" x 11" piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock scored at 5½". I added 3 pieces of DSP from the Flowers for Every Season pack measuring 4"x 5¼" - one design on the front and 2 of the same design inside.

I added a strip of Poppy Parade across the center inside that measured 1¾" x 11 scored at 2¾", 5½" & 8¼", folding it valley, mountain, valley (in the shape of a W). I adhered the ends of the strip to the inside of the card on both the front and back pieces, leaving the center to move freely. There are 4 panels of cardstock at 2¼" x 3½" - mine are (2) Bumblebee and (2) Just Jade and there are 4 panels at 1¾" x 3" - (2) Whisper White and (2) DSP.

The sentiment and the holly stamps are from the Christmas Means More stamp set. The holly is colored with Blends. The Sentiment piece was die cut from the Hippo & Friends dies. I added some All the Trimmings and Metallic Mesh ribbons plus some All the Trimmings embellishments to dress it up.

So. Much. Fun!

I will definitely be doing more of these cards in the future!

I'd love to see what you make

HAPPY STAMPING!
