Creativity Abounds Blog Hop
This month we are creating fun projects using the products from the Online exclusives Collection and I am sharing a birthday card using lots of pinks, golds and neutrals, some of which are retiring this month, but you could totally change them out for other colour options or some of the new colours!
We have been offering Kits as an online only offering for quite some time and now Stampin Up! have expanded the collection to include a number of Stamps, bundles, papers, embellishments and punches and change these a little more often as the market/trends demand. It means that Stampin’ Up! are not restricted by the catalogue sales periods, but once they are sold, they may not return. So I would always recommend ordering when you see something you like to avoid any disappointment
There are some gorgeous products and you can browse the current collection HERE
I chose to focus on the Irresistible Blooms Bundle with its pretty cling flowers, coordinating foliage and those totally gorgeous dies!
Irresistible Bloom Water colour Birthday Card
My card design was based around the colours of the DSP and is based on blue tones with a pop of yellow!
How To Make An Irresistible Bloom Water colour Birthday Card
Rather than make a video for this card I decided to re-create this card on my Facebook Live.
Tips for re-creating this card:
Outside
- use a trimmer to remove a 2.5 cm strip from the front of the card
- The flowers are heat embossed in White using Versamark Ink onto Shimmery White card which is soon to retire so substitute with Fluid 100 Watercolour card
- Use a water painter to colour the flowers using Flirty Flamingo & Polished Pink Ink (retiring shortly so can be replaced with Melon Mambo)
- Stamp & Die cut all the images and arrange before adhering to your card
- Add the dots and blending around the front first layer in Sahara Sand Ink before embossing
- Heat emboss the sentiment in gold for a luxury look
- Lastly, don’t forget those pretty brushed butterfly embellishments!
Inside
- Stamp the dots down the left hand side of the piece ofBasic White and add the sentiment in Polished Pink Ink
- Adhere to the card
- Next adhere the piece of gold Fine Shimmer Paper
- Add some adhesive sheet to the back of the piece of Flirty Flamingo card and die cut before adding onto the gold shimmer card.
