November’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team was to create projects using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, one of the new additions to Online Exclusives. You’ll find the supplies in my Product List below, as well as the link to Online Exclusives.
For the first card, I chose a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. After running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I colored it with a Large Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo Ink. Next, I used a Small Blending Brush and Petal Pink Ink to add highlights to the flowers.
The sentiment, “You make me smile,” is from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Happy Hibiscus Die for cutting. Before attaching it with Dimensionals, I colored it with a Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo Ink. The three flowers were cut from Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Cardstock with Happy Hibiscus Dies, and glued in place. The flower centers are Resin Dots.
The second card features a large hibiscus flower, cut with a Happy Hibiscus Die from Basic White Cardstock, and embossed with the Happy Hibiscus “Hybrid” Embossing Folder. I used the same colors, with a Blending Brush, as the first card, and placed it on Dimensionals. Then, I used another Happy Hibiscus Die to cut three leaves from Basic White Cardstock. After cutting, I colored the leaves with a Blending Brush and Old Olive Ink, and glued them in place.
The background was created with a Happy Hibiscus Die, which I used to cut four circles. One was stamped with the sentiment from the stamp set, “Thanks for being so kind.” Before gluing the circles to Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, I used a Happy Hibiscus stamp with Memento Black Ink in four places. This layer was backed with Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, giving it a 1/16″ border. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2 X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
