Hello crafty friends!
This is Hussena, and I hope you're having a great week so far! I have a gratitude card to share today using an assortment of some old and new products from Pinkfresh.
For my card, I have used the Merry and Bright Frame Stamp and coordinating Die Set, Lovely Blossoms Stamp and coordinating Die Set, Floral Diamond Background Cling Stamp, Simply Diamonds Die, and Artistic Bows Die Set.
To create my card, I first stamped the layering floral bunch from the Merry and Bright Frame Stamp on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock (110 LBS) using my MISTI Stamping Tool. I stamped the bunch a couple of times because I intended to use them to create the focal for my card. The Merry and Bright Stamp set comprises of a blend of outline florals and leaves as well as a layering floral bunch (along with the gorgeous oval frame and holiday sentiments), and so, you have quite a few different options on how you'd like to use the set. I decided to go with the layering bunch as I love the look of layered stamping! I used Peach Fuzz for stamping the flowers, Fresh Pear for the leaves, and Apricot for the little berries. Then, I stamped the last layer of the image using Detail Black Ink. Once my stamping was complete, I die cut everything using the coordinating Die Set and set the images aside to work on the other components of my card.
I stamped the oval frame from the Merry and Bright Frame Stamp using Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and then gold heat embossed it using Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder. I die cut the frame using the coordinating Die Set and arranged my florals and foliage around it. Next, I stamped a couple of blossoms and leafy greenery from the Lovely Blossoms Stamp to accentuate my floral spray. I used the same ink colours as before (Peach Fuzz, Apricot, and Fresh Pear) in order to have a cohesive colour palette. I then cut out the images using the coordinating Die Set.
Then, I die cut the oval frame from the Merry and Bright Frame Die Set from White Fun Foam and adhered it to the heat embossed frame for dimension. I used the leftover oval die cut to stamp my sentiment. It is from the Incredibly Grateful Stamp Set and I stamped it using Detail Black Ink.
To create my card background, I took a panel of White Cardstock and heat embossed the Floral Diamond Background Cling Stamp in White using Super Fine White Embossing Powder. I ink blended the panel using Peach Fuzz and Apricot in ombré style. Once that was done, I die cut the Simply Diamonds Die from White Cardstock and adhered it over the embossed panel and foam mounted it on a white A2 card base.
I adhered the stamped flowers, leaves, foliage, and the heat embossed oval frame to my card panel using foam squares. To finish, I added a die cut bow from the Artistic Bows Die Set. I cut it out from a panel of White Cardstock which was coloured using Peach Fuzz and Apricot. I assembled the bow together and added it to my panel using glue dots. I also accented my card with a few scattered White Jewels.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my card today! I would love to hear what you think of it. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a great day ahead!
