Flowers and leaves fussy cut from the lovely Flowers & Fields dsp make a pretty thank you card.

Flower & Field

Posted on January 31, 2021January 26, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I have spent a happy few hours fussy cutting flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of dsp from the Flower & Field dsp – one of the free choices from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

To recreate the Flower & Field card, you will need:

Petal Pink – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Petal Pink – 5½” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Basic White – 3½” by 3½””

I started by running the Petal Pink panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. This was glued to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set 9another free choice from the Sale-A-Bration brochure) onto the small square of Basic White card. This was then die cut using the Layering Circle dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I trimmed off the right side of the die cut circle and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Then, I had great fun arranging all the flowers and leaves, fussy cut from the gorgeous Flower & Field dsp. I love the colour combo of this pack; they look so pretty together. I added them around the die cut sentiment using either liquid glue and/or Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a scattering of Woven Threads Sequins.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

The embossed layer was added to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the strip of Heartwarming Hugs added using the same adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Garden Green card front using the same glue.

Using the Poinsettia dies, we cut and embossed the 3 layers of petals from the larger panel of Real Red. We used a sponge Dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to add depth of colour to the edges of each petal. We used Bone Folders to give the petal shape and adhered the 3 layers together with adhesive.

The flower was added to the card front using liquid adhesive. We used a gorgeous Beaded Pearl to the centre of the flower and a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

To recreate the Poinsettia Spray card, you will need:

We stamped the full poinsettia flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. Prior to the class I had stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and cut it out to use as a mask.

With the mask in place we stamped the outline leaves in Garden Green ink and added the infill colour in stamped off Garden Green ink. The berry sprig was stamped in Soft Suede ink and infilled with Bumblebee ink before the mask was removed.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was added in Garden Green ink.

The poinsettia was coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Blends Markers and the centre was coloured with Mango Melody Blends.

The stamped panel was glued to the Garden Green layer then added to the Real Red card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

To recreate the Merry Christmas card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛”
Soft Suede – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set

We used a 1” wide strip of Post It Note and placed it about 1¼” down from the top of the Whisper White panel.

Starting with the largest image we stamped above and below the Post It Note. The leaves and sprigs were added filling in the space above and below the Post It, building up the texture as we went. The colours we used were Real Red, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Pool Party. The Post It strip was the removed.

The stamped panel was glued to the Soft Suede layer and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the 1” strip of Whisper White and the panel was mounted on the Real Red layer with glue and then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

I really hope you like the cards.

I used the playful Alphabet dies and my die cutting machine to cut the letters out of the image. Using the same dies I cut the letters out again from a foam adhesive panel and glued the coloured die cut letters to the adhesive letters.

The backing from the die cut letters was then removed and the letters placed into the negative spaces to complete the image. I then added the ‘holes’ from the letters using the liquid adhesive…………after I had hunted through the waste bin to find them!! I forgot I would need them and threw them away……. This is known as the eclipse technique.

Using the Soft Sea Foam Blends Alcohol Marker I coloured some white seam binding ribbon, wrapped it around the stamped layer and added it to the Soft Sea Foam card base.
