Lovely & Sweet card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where our theme is ‘What is Old … is New Again’……. We were to choose a project we had previously made and remake it using current product. I narrowed it down to 2 or 3 options before finally settling on this card which was on my blog on 13^th January 2023.

 

 

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the lovely and sweet card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5⅞” by 3½”
Parakeet Party card – 5⅞” by ½” x 2
Basic White card – 4½” by 4”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Parakeet Party card

 

Using the Basic Borders Dies, I die cut the zigzag edge into one of the 5⅞” by ½” strips of Parakeet Party card. I added this border to the right hand side of the panel of Softly Stippled dsp. I added the other strip as a straight edge on the other side of the dsp. The whole piece was then glued to the Pebbled Path card base.

 

 

I stamped the largest image, from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 4½” by 4” pane of Basic White card. I die cut it using the co-ordinating Lovely & Sweet Dies.

 

Using the following Blends I coloured in the die cut image – Petal Pink, Parakeet Party and Wild Wheat. The die cut was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment, from the Perennial Postage stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I punched it out using a 1” Circle Punch from my stash but you could used the Stylish Shapes Dies or Circle Dies. I also punched out a 1 ¼” circle from scrap Parakeet Party card and glued the two together. It was then added to the card front.

 

A bow made from the Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon was added along with a trio of Tinsel Gems from the 4 pack and in the flower centers I added Wild Wheat dots from the 2022 – 2024 In Color Dots.

 

I love this new version of an old card. I hope you like it.
