A card made for the Reduce, Recycle Reuse themed Stamping Dreams Blog Hop using left over Stampin' Up! pieces from my craft desk

Left Over Floral Card for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on February 8, 2024February 3, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Dreams Blog Hop. Today we have a fun theme – Reduce, Recyle, Reuse. I looked around my very messy craft desk and gathered up some left over pieces with similar tones and decided to try and make these left over pieces into a card.

Colours I think are in this project – some of the pieces were stamped, coloured or die cut a long time ago, are:

To recreate the left over floral card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lime Twist card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Mossy Meadow card – 4¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Granny Apple Green card

The background piece was created using the ink refill and shaving foam technique and a mask. – To see details on how this panel was created, check out the Hot Air Balloon post on the 6^th February 2024. The panel was then glued to the Lemon Lime Twist card base and then to the Starry Sky card base.

I liked the die cut stippled rose and the colour of the flower worked well, the Wild Wheat leaves however looked awful, so I took Mossy Meadow Blends and coloured over the Wild Wheat…….. much better. I added the flower to the to the corner of the raised frame with Dimensionals and liquid glue. The Granny Apple Green leaves – from the Cheerful Daisies Dies, were then added with Mini Glue Dots.

I looked at the left over sentiments I had on my desk and chose the ‘congratulations sentiment, no idea where this was from. I cut it down and added it to the card front.

At this point I paused…….. I didn’t really like the card, The sentiment was wrong and the negative frame was too bare. What to do…..

After a bit of mulling over I die cut a slightly smaller label, using the Thoughful Expressions Dies from scrap Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment, from the Color & Contour stamp set in Starry Sky ink and added it into the negative space. Much better. I would really like to have removed the congratulations but it was seriously stuck down, so I left it.
