Welcome to this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge. See how our designers used the sketch, then join in the fun, and hang your creation in our gallery.

Have you made a slimline card? It’s easy, and fun to work with a different proportion. I began by cutting Pebbled Path Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 7 “, folded at 3 1/2″, for the card base. Then, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/4″ X 8 1/4”, for my background, which would be glued to the card base as a last step.

I decided to use flowers from a favorite designer paper, Hello Irresistible. An Irresistible Blooms Die was used to cut three flowers from the designer paper. We love it when Stampin’ Up! matches dies to the designer paper! Then, I used Paper Snips to cut a row of top petals from additional flowers, and attached the petals with Dimensionals.

These products were sold out for a while, but are available now in “Online Exclusives.” Clicking on the pictures below will take you there.

Irresistible Slimline

The flowers are attached to a wonderful die-cut from Irresistible Blooms, and I think I’ve figured out the easiest way to use it. I cut a piece of Pebbled Path Cardstock, 6 1/4″ X 1 1/2″, and adhered it to the same size cut of an Adhesive Sheet. Then, I placed the Irresistible Blooms Die on top of the cardstock, and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After cutting, I poked out all the parts that weren’t part of the design, before peeling the backing of the Adhesive Sheet.

Leaving the die in place, I positioned it on the Basic White Cardstock layer, pressing to make it stick, before removing the die.

Next, I used an Irresistible Blooms stamp to add splashes of dots to coordinate with the flowers in three colors of ink: Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, and Daffodil Delight. After attaching the flowers with Dimensionals, I added leaves that were cut with an Irresistible Blooms Die from Thick Basic White Cardstock.

The sentiment, “i couldn’t be happier to have you as my friend,” is from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set. I used a Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting. I have the bundles pictured in my Product List below, because I really recommend the bundles, because you might as well save 10%!
