Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set is one of the pretty cling stamp sets that is not retiring – Yay! It is not in the new catalog, but it will still be available in the Online Store, and I think it will coordinate great with some of the new designer series papers. Today’s card is CASE’d from a sample in the retiring January-April Mini Catalog and is watercolored with ink! It also uses the pretty Meandering Meadows designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a panel of Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I embossed a panel of retiring Tahitian Tide card stock with the Cross Hatch embossing folder and adhered it to the card front. I made a big loopy bow with retiring Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and adhered it with a glue dot. I cut a Basic White panel with the pretty Everyday Details circle die and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped both of the blueberry stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set in black Stazon Ink on a panel of watercolor paper. I used my water painters to color the images with ink. I used Blueberry Bushel for the berries and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. After they dried, I fussy cut the images with my paper snips and adhered the smaller one to the back of the one with the stem with glue dots. I popped the berries onto the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Blueberry Bushel card stock. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I trimmed the ends at an angle with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with dimensionals and glue dots. I finished the card with iridescent foil gems.
For the inside of the card I inked up the large blueberry stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped it off twice. Then I stamped it on the middle of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom of the panel with DSP and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Watercoloring with ink is fun and it’s really easy when you have stamped line images like the ones in the Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bunches stamp set. Go ahead and give it a try.
