For today’s card, I had fun heat embossing flowers, and coloring them with Stampin’ Blends.

First, I stamped the flower from the Color & Contour Stamp Set in VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock. Next, I sprinkled the three flowers with White Embossing Powder, and set them with the Heat Tool. You can tell when they are set, because the dull powder becomes shiny. Then, I used a Scalloped Contours Die for cutting, which was the hardest part.

A tip is to stamp the flowers in the same direction, and once you match the die to the petals, keep the die that way to cut all the flowers.

Heat Embossed Flowers

 

Second, I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends in three colors: Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Flirty Flamingo. I used the light Stampin’ Blend for the petals, and the dark Stampin’ Blend for the centers. This is especially fun, because the embossing gives a raised edge, and the color just melts to the lines.

 

For the background, I used a piece of the new, Pattern Party Designer Paper. You’ll find it in the back of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, on the Host & Earn pages, 170-71.  You get 48 sheets for $18.00 ($30.00 value) with a qualifying order.

I cut a 5 1/2″ X 1 1/2″ piece of the colorful stripe, and used a Scalloped Contours Die to trim the edge. Then, I glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

 

Prior to attaching the flowers with Dimensionals, I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink. “So very happy for you” is from the Color & Contour Stamp Set.

The last detail was adding three Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins, which happens to be my host code gift for the month of June. These are great, because no glue is required, just lift and stick!

I would love to send them to you, so see details below for how you qualify to receive them.

 

 

I was inspired by TGIF.
