Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias photopolymer stamp set? This is a real pretty stamp set and it’s a Sale A Bration Level 2 item – this means that it is one of the items you can select for FREE with a $100 order before shipping and taxes.

Dahlias are one of my favorite summer flowers and this new Sale A Bration stamp set makes beautiful flowers. So I’m glad I was able to finally pull it out and make today’s card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Today’s card was inspired by the pretty sketch in TGIF Challenges 329 – #TGIFC329:

I started by embossing a panel of Soft Sea Foam card stock with the pretty Stitched Greenery embossing folder and adhering it to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base.

I stamped the large outline dahlia from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Polished Pink ink on Basic White. I stamped the large fill dahlia stamp with stamped off Polished Pink over the outline image. Isn’t the shading beautiful? I fussy cut the image and covered it with clear Wink of Stella. I stamped three of the outline large leaf clusters in Garden Green ink on Basic White and stamped the fill in stamped off Garden Green. I fussy cut the leaves and adhered them to the card front with glue dots.

I adhered the dahlia flower over the leaves with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White and cut it out with the die from the Seasonal Labels dies. I adhered the label with dimensionals and glue dots over the bottom of the flower. I finished the flower with a bumblebee trinket applied with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large outline flower three times in stamped off Polished Pink on the borders of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Did I say how much I love dahlias? They come in so many sizes and colors and bloom all summer long! The pretty two step flowers and leaves in the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Dahlias stamp set captures the beauty of these flowers so well.

Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends Note Card

Happy Saturday! I’m enjoying the last few weekends of Summer and I hope you are too! I have a friendship tag card today made with the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends photopolymer stamp set. This set has wonderful sentiments that you can mix and match and I paired it with the Tailored Tags and Brilliant Wings dies. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a Harvest Meadow designer series paper panel with the pretty Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder (note – be careful when inserting the paper into the embossing folder to ensure that letters are not backwards or upside down). I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the Friends sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends stamp set in Versamark ink on a Soft Succulent panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heat set the powder with my heat tool. I stamped the Forever sentiment in Soft Succulent ink and cut it out with the large fancy tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies. I cut a reinforcement from Cinnamon Cider and adhered it to the hole and cut another tag from the Cork specialty paper. I adhered the cork to the back and threaded some diamond weave ribbon and split Soft Succulent ribbon through the holes. I tied the ribbons with a linen thread bow and popped the tags on the card front with dimensionals.

I cut the small detailed butterfly with the Brilliant Wings dies from Brushed Copper foil and adhered it to the tag with a glue dot. I finished the front with iridescent Soft Succulent jewels.

For the inside of the card, I embossed another strip of Harvest Meadow DSP with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends stamp set in Soft Succulent in the lower corner, leaving plenty of room to write a personal message.

A simple tag card made with the pretty sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Create With Friends stamp set! It’s made special by combining a bunch of wonderful textures – the cork specialty paper, shiny metallic butterfly, ribbons and embossed background and sentiment.
