Seedlings card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made for a colour challenge. I have used the Soft Seedlings stamp set for my card.

The colours we were given are:

 

I made 2 cards, one using Very Vanilla and the other using Basic White card

 

To create the Vanilla soft seedling card, you will need:

Basic Gray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Balmy Blue card – 4⅛” by 3⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Very Vanilla card – 4” by 3” – rounded lower left corner
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner

 

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the large leafy image. I inked up the stems, the bottom of the seeds and the base of the leaf using a Basic Gray Marker. I repeated this step three times.

I adhered them, in rainbow order down the length of one of the Basic White panels from the upper left to the lower right. I used a Mini Glue Dot in the centre of each leaf as I wanted the leaves to have some movement and dimension.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the spruced-up baubles card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Orchid Oasis card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to add texture to the smaller Basic White panel. I added it to the Orchid Oasis card panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
