Frosted Floral Three Punch Thank You Card

Hi there! For today’s project, I had two things in mind; the TGIF Challenge, which is calling for “punches,” and the gorgeous Frosted Floral Designer Specialty Paper from the Holiday 2018 Catalog. It’s a “specialty” paper, because it’s printed on shimmery white paper. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate.

Frosted Floral Thank You

 

I decided to use a multi-colored floral print with flowers that I could fussy cut. My Stampin’ Up Paper Snips did a good job, and the three flowers were ready for some leaves. The Leaf Punch worked perfectly, punching leaves from a green print of Frosted Floral DSP. 

The sentiment, “thank you for caring,” is from the Label Me Pretty stamp set. I used the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, after stamping the sentiment in Tranquil Tide ink on Whisper White cardstock. The 1 1/2′” Circle Punch makes a perfect border, which I punched from another piece of the Frosted Floral DSP.

 

I chose Tranquil Tide cardstock for the card base, layered with  a 4″ X 5 1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, embossed with the Subtle Textured embossing folder.

 

Next, I used a Stitched Seasons die to cut the Frosted Floral frame. This is the same Frosted Floral DSP where I found my three flowers.

 

The flowers and sentiment were raised on dimensionals, and my “three punch” card is ready for the TGIF challenge.

Thank you for visiting today. If you click on the picture of the Frosted Floral DSP in my Product List, you can see all 12 of the fabulous prints.

First Frost Thanksgiving Card

 

My color scheme was decided by the Paper Player’s Challenge #405:

And, my layout is from TGIF #172:

 

One of the most wonderful things about this First Frost stamp set are the two flowers.

You can achieve watercolored flowers without any water or effort. Just stamp a flower on a Stampin’ Ink Pad, and that’s all it takes. Really!

I used the colors Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody and Daffodil Delight (So Saffron is in my next order).

 

The flowers were stamped on Very Vanilla, so the edges of the flowers would blend with the background, after cutting with their dies. I also used a fabulous, little sprig die, which looks like Baby’s Breath in this bouquet.

“Happy Thanksgiving” is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, and punched with the Classic Label punch.

Before gluing everything in place, I stamped the background branch with leaves in Old Olive. I’ll be using this set A LOT!

Have I enticed you to order some of the products I used in today’s card? Just click on the pictures to shop at my store. I’d love to be your demonstrator. Have a great day!
