Stamps & Stretchy Pants

Welcome! I hope you have been enjoying my “A Card a Day in May” challenge so far! This is my 19th card to share with you. I created this card after seeing something similar from another stamp company and thought, I can do that with my Stampin’ Up! supplies!

I chose to use 4 different colors of Stampin’ Blends, using the light marker for each. I started colouring a strip of Purple Posy, Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and then Daffodil Delight. Each strip is different in thickness as well to give interest. After colouring the strips I stamped the cherry blossom image from the Forever Blossom stamp set using Staz On ink. I then used the Cherry Blossom dies to cut this shape out and then I layered it back in on some Dimensionals to give it a raised look.

The sentiment is stamped on Crumb Cake and then punched with the new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. I added a little White Bakers Twine to attach the tag.

The sequins in clear just add a little bit of interest without taking away the simplicity of the card. They are from the Peaceful Poppies set.

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out. I think its a fun technique that I can’t wait to share with my stampers when I can hold in person events again!

I recently participated in a card swap that my upline coordinated. The theme was a birthday gift card holder. I had came across another swap I had made that was laying on my desk and it gave me the inspiration for this one, updated with new stamps and products of course! I think this style of card is called a Matchbook, I could be wrong but that is what I think of at least!

I used two of the new Sale-a-bration second release products, the So Very Vellum and Flowering Foils DSP. I actually really loved colouring the flower with my Blends. I used Purple Posey, Highland Heather (light), Soft Seafood and Pool Party (light) for the flowers. The stamp is from the Tags in Bloom Sale-a-bration stamp set that coordinates with both the Label Me Fancy and the Label Me Lovely punches.
