Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here is a floral birthday card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle. My background uses the beautiful Delightful Floral designer series paper, but it features the flip side to create an ombre color block look. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

I adhered three panels of Delightful Floral designer series paper to a Basic White panel with liquid glue – Pretty Peacock, Parakeet Party and Pool Party. I trimmed the ends to make sure I had clean lines (I am so bad at keeping lines straight and you may not have to do this). I stamped the sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on the background and embossed the layered panel with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base.

I stamped the large flower from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Floral cling stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Basic White and the middle flower in Calypso Coral. I inked up the large leaf cluster in Parakeet Party ink and used a sponge dauber to add Pretty Peacock ink around the edge. I stamped it on Basic White and cleaned up the stamp and repeated it so I had two clusters. I also used the same technique on the double leaf stamp. I cut out all the flowers and leaves with the coordinating dies.

I adhered the leaf clusters to the card front with glue dots and adhered the flowers and double leaf die cuts on top with dimensionals. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Floral stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Pool Party panel of Delightful Floral DSP. I cut it out with the large short banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I finished the arrangement with a Pool Party bow and Parakeet Party Tinsel Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Floral stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower in Perry Burst ink next to the sentiment and used a Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write marker to make a stem and leaf. I stamped the double leaf in the corners of the panel using the same sponging technique and colors as the leaves on the front. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Translucent Floral bundle is so pretty and I love the Delightful Floral designer series paper!

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle is a pretty floral set and the Delightful Floral designer series paper that is part of the Special Release coordinates with it perfectly. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and I featured the pretty Delightful Floral designer series paper:

I adhered a adhered a panel of the Delightful Floral designer series paper to the front of a Parakeet Party card base with liquid glue and wrapped a length of Parakeet Party ribbon around the card front tying a bow.

I cut three panels of Delightful Florals DSP with three circles from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the two largest to the card with liquid glue, tucking them under the ribbon. I adhered the smallest circle with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals stamp set in Versamark ink on Berry Burst. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I did this in two steps, so that the words would be in a straight line instead of over each other. I cut the sentiment out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered it with dimensionals. I finished the card with tinsel gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower and stems from the Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals stamp set in the corners of a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems in Pretty Peacock and the flowers in Berry Burst, Calypso Coral and Fresh Freesia. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

A simple birthday card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals bundle and Delightful Floral designer series paper.
