Irresistible Blooms Hello Card in Flirty Flamingo

Leave a reply

The other day I made a card exactly like this Irresistible Blooms Hello Card in Flirty Flamingo except in Lemon Lime Twist. I was SO happy with it after I made it that I wanted to make another one right away but in another color. I usually like a card after I make it or I wouldn’t even put it on my blog, but for some reason, this card design caught my eye!

The card base is Basic White but you could also use the same cardstock color as whatever designer paper you are using. In this case, I used the Flirty Flamingo patterned paper in the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I chose the hearts pattern and the polka dots and cut each sheet at 5 1/4″ x 4″. Then I cut each one in half diagonally. When you do this, be sure to look at the pattern in case it is going in a certain direction.

The flowers and leaves are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink on Basic White with the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set. Then those images were diecut with the Irresistible Blooms Dies. Purchase both the stamp set and dies together in the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and save 10%!

Just place the flowers and leaves around and see what arrangement you like best. You can pop up some of the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals as I did with one large flower and one small. Plan ahead to see where you are going to slide the leaves underneath the flowers so you don’t glue down the flowers completely to the edge. Or adhere the leaves to the flowers first before adhering to the card.

The “hello” greeting is in the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and is diecut with a small circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Here is the original card I made in Lemon Lime Twist.

Also, notice the little sparkle on the card! I just had to use the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels randomly on the flowers and card.

Which one do you like better? It would be fun to make a card with each color in the Brights DSP!

Irresistible Blooms Lemon Lime Twist Monochromatic Card

Leave a reply

Make a bright and happy card with one of the bright new colors in our Color Refresh at Stampin’ Up!, the Irresistible Blooms Lemon Lime Twist Monochromatic Card. It’s easy when you use one color of ink and paper!

This card uses the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and the Irresistible Blooms Dies. You can buy both together and save 10% by purchasing the Irresistible Blooms Bundle. The flowers and leaves are all stamped with Lemon Lime Twist Ink on Basic White and then die cut. There are two different sizes of dies for the flowers and two sets of leaves. If you don’t have the dies, it is easy enough to cut them out by hand.

The greeting is in the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and is die-cut with a stitched circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The card base is Basic White. The card layer uses two different patterns of the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. They are cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″ as you would for any layer on a card but then cut diagonally in half to make two different designs. Be sure to check before you cut the paper if you want the patterns to go a certain way.

After the designer paper is in place and you have stamped and diecut all the flowers and leaves, lay them out on the card to get an idea of where you want everything to be placed. You can pop up some of the flowers or leaves on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere the rest flat on the card. You just want the adhesive to not extend completely to the edges of the flowers so that you can tuck the leaves in underneath where you want them. The greeting is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a finishing touch, I added some Irridescent Rhinestone Jewels to the card front. On the inside, I added a flower and some leaves in the corner or I could have just stamped them to match the front of the card.

You could make this same card but make the flowers and leaves different colors, but I think monochromatic cards look very nice and are easy! Try your hand at a card like this one with this pretty stamp set and bright and happy designer paper!

New Stampin’ Up! Products! Irresistible Blooms Hello Card

Leave a reply

Stampin’ Up! has added some new products today to keep things fresh and fun! These will be called “Online Exclusives“ and will not be in any catalog. And there’s no end date for the sales period! Some products will be reordered when inventory is low, and others will only be available while supplies last. This way Stampin’ Up! can offer even more new products throughout the year. New products mean new inspiration and new ways to express your creativity!

My Irresistible Blooms Hello Card is made with new things!! Well, and one old thing that apparently is going to be new again! If you have been around Stampin’ Up! for a while, do you recognize the cardstock I used? It is Lost Lagoon, one of the 2014-2016 In Colors! When I saw that was one of the coordinating colors with the new designer paper in the Online Exclusives, I dug around in my stash and found a package! Pretty Peacock is another returning color, apparently, but I haven’t found that yet! Hopefully, I still have the ink pads and reinkers somewhere, but who knows?

Back to this card…it was made with the new Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection. Yes, it is more flowers, but it is a really pretty collection! You can stamp, you can die cut, or you can cut out! Whatever you like! Some of the dies work on some of the designer paper patterns as well as the stamped images and that’s always an advantage when you can die-cut designer paper.

The card has a Lost Lagoon cardstock card base with a layer of the new Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I like the criss-cross design on this paper and the other side is a watercolor wash. I used “the other side” for a strip across the lower middle of the card because I couldn’t resist using it! The flowers are all die cut from the designer paper as are the leaves. The flowers have the look of “emboss resist” without the work. I die cut several leaves and just stuck them around the flowers. One pink flower and one yellow flower are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the third is flat on the card.

The greeting is stamped with the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set. You can purchase the Irresistible Blooms Dies along with the stamp set in the Irresistible Blooms Bundle and save 10% if you want both. For some bling, I added three of the Loose Frosted Dots. These come in three colors and three sizes. They do not have adhesive on the back which is a little inconvenient but you can work around that. On the larger size, you can place the Frosted Dot on a Glue Dot right on the roll. Then take it off and adhere it where you want it. For the smaller sizes, you could put a teeny tiny drop of glue where you want the dot to go on the paper and place the dot on the glue using the Take Your Pick Tool (if I could find mine!). Don’t try to apply the glue to the dot. Or you could try rolling a Glue Dot into a tiny ball and use that for adhesive. Whatever works for you! The Loose Frosted Dots are pretty and will be fun to use.

On the inside of the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock since the Lost Lagoon cardstock is rather dark for a message or stamped greeting. I added another diecut flower and leaf in the corner. You could also, or instead, use a narrow strip of designer paper to match on the inside. Make the inside fun, too!

Demonstrators were able to preorder some of these Online Exclusive products, but there are even more new products available today! I urge you, for anything you really really want, to order it early. Some products in the Online Exclusives may go on backorder and be re-supplied, some may be gone for good, some may last forever. We won’t know, so when you see something you want, order it!

Have fun checking out the new Stampin’ Up! products!
