Using the Something Fancy Dies, I die cut a label from the small panel of Basic White card.

The sentiment, from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped on the label in Copper Clay ink. I placed the label onto the card front but didn’t stick it down.

From the scrap dsp I fussy cut some of the partial tools from around the edges of the paper. These were glued in place under the sentiment label.

The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A beautiful friendship card made for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop using the Bottled Happiness stamp set combined with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Simply Sophisticated Bottles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on January 29, 2024January 21, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll – In Colors, Masking, Friend, Staple and Fun Fold. I have combined the Bottled Happiness stamp set from the Annual catalogue and the Softy Sophisticated stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the simply sophisticated bottles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – for the inside
Scrap Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis

I placed the front of the card base in my Paper Trimmer, lined the score line up with the cutting track and the other end lined up at, roughly 1¾”, the measurement isn’t crucial and I did it by eye.

I stamped the smaller, squat bottle in Orchid Oasis ink at the bottom of the 4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card, roughly in the middle. I stamped the image again onto a Post It Note taking care to position it largely onto the sticky part, and cut it out with scissors. I placed it over the stamped image and stamped the taller bottle to the left in Boho Blue ink and the squat bottle to the right in Tahitian Tide ink.

Leaving the mask in position I stamped the leafy spray in Parakeet Party ink and added the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I removed the mask.

I stamped the larger bottle onto a Post It note, trimmed it out and added it over the stamped taller bottle. The other leafy sprig was the stamped in Wild Wheat ink and the flowers added with Moody Mauve.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in Pebble Path ink using a stamp from the Trucking Along stamp set and the whole panel was glued to the panel of Pebbled Path card. The whole piece was then added to what was left of the card front, lining up the upper left corner with the cut line.

A thin strip of Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis card were flagged and stapled to the front panel.

The sentiment, from the Garden Meadow stamp set was stamped on the inside panel in Pebbled Path ink. I added one of the floral images in the lower right corner and glued the panel inside the card.
