Time is running out; Sale-a-bration is coming to a close on September 30. I don’t want you to miss out on getting this fabulous, FREE, die set, Summer Shadows. It’s FREE, because it’s one of the items you can choose when you place a qualifying order of $100. You can see the complete set in my Product List below.
I used two of the Summer Shadow Dies to create these beautiful flowers, cut from Ombre Gift Bags in Polished Pink. It’s easy to slice the bags, on the bottom and sides, making them flat for cutting. The bags come in five colors, which you can see in my Product List below. It’s thinner paper than cardstock, so the flowers have a more delicate look, plus there’s a variation in color.
Summer Shadows
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, with the left side embossed by one of the Greenery Embossing Folders. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing the three flowers in place, I stamped three sprigs, from the coordinating Shaded Summer Stamp Set, in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I used the “outline” flower die to cut the flower centers from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock.
Sometimes a vertical sentiment is just what you need to fit your design, and today’s card is a perfect example. “Happy Birthday” is from the Celebrate With Flowers Stamp Set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink, and cut with an Ornate Layers Die. I backed the Basic White Cardstock with Rich Razzleberry Cardstock, cut 1/8″ larger, glued them together, and placed it on Dimensionals.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
