SimpleStamping with Hydrangea Haven

 

Hydrangeas are certainly one of the most beautiful flowers on Earth. Like delicate globes filled with tightly packed blooms and quizzical names like mophead and lacecap, these flowers have the ability to change colour over a period of days. To see one is to be transported back to a simpler, more romantic era when the pace of life was slow and there was time to take meditative walks in a well-cultivated garden.

Our homage to this nostalgic, floral favourite includes the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set with coordinating Hydrangea Dies (buy them in a bundle for savings!), Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate, Gorgeous Grape 3/8" (1 cm) Sheer Ribbon, and finally—luminous, adhesive-backed Pastel Pearls to add a touch of elegance to any project. Coordinating colours reflect traditional hydrangea colours and include Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Rococo Rose.

To create this month’s #SimpleStamping projects, we used Designer Series Paper to create fun backgrounds, as with the Le Monde and Du Bist Meine Heldin cards. Layering the paper in strips creates an especially eye-catching effect. The Voor een bijzonder iemand card demonstrates how to make an image stand out when you use White Craft ink against richly hued cardstock.

The Hydrangea Haven Bundle is a must-have for anyone who loves vintage chic or dramatic floral focal points, and the stamp set contains lovely sentiments to match the look. Share these amazing products (and simple stamp!) with your customers today.

Dragonfly Garden

 

Dragonfly Garden Step-by-Step

Did you know? In some cultures, the dragonfly is a symbol for good luck and prosperity—perhaps because dragonflies hovering over the water meant fish were below. We love them for their jewel tones and luminous wings—so pretty!

CASUAL To begin creating our dragonfly cards, start simple. Fold Basic White Cardstock in half; add layers of Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper to the card front plus a floral image and sentiment stamped on Shimmery White Cardstock using Jet Black StazOn ink.

The dragonfly is the crowning touch of this card, but how did we make it? Piece of cake! We sized the dragonflies on our Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper to fit the Dragonfly Punch, so you can easily “capture” them for use as accents on cards and other projects.

Simply punch your favourite dragonfly from the Designer Series Paper and adhere it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals; it almost appears to hover above the paper! This classy card takes only minutes to create—making it perfect for a casual crafter workshop.

AVID Step up our second card by adhering an additional layer of Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper. We also added a little colour to the stamped floral image using Water Painters. The Bumblebee and Pear Pizzazz inks really brighten the flower and bring it to life.

ARTFULLY AVID Our most detailed card features another layer of fun Designer Series Paper, plus some additional colour for the stamped floral image. This time we chose Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, and Mossy Meadow. Once the stamped piece was dry, we embossed it using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. We think the extra dimension and depth add the perfect touch to this beautiful, nature lovers card.

VERTICAL EASEL GARDEN WISHES

I watched a Splitcoasters video on Youtube featuring this vertical easel by Wendy Lee and instantly thought of the dandelion die in the Dandy Wishes dies and how cool it would look on the front of this card.

It looks complicated but once the steps were broken down it was easy - the way most things are.  After punching out two circles - I had the 1" circle punch, folding them in half and attaching them to either side of the fold on the front of the card.  You could do this step before or after adhering the DSP to the front as they do not show.  The very last step is attaching the dandelion panel to the two circles - they create a hinge of sorts.

Then all that was needed was the stopper on the inside of the card.
