Week 11 – Cinnamon Cider
This week I have more Hand-Penned Petals Bundle projects, starting with a Post It Note Holder! These are great little gifts to have on hand to give to family and friends and Cinnamon Cider happens to be one of the colours in the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
The main image is stamped with Versamark, Gold Emboss Powder added and heat set with a Heat Tool. I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya & Cinnamon Cider. I also used the Colour Lifter to dot on the Cinnamon Cider bloom to give it a little extra texture. Then I die cut it using the coordinating Penned Flower Dies. Some Genial Gems are added as I always love some gems!
4 pieces of DSP are placed on the front, the back and two on the inside; one under the post it notes and the other you can see below. A strip of Gold Metallic Specialty Paper is added to the front and inside panel.
Basic Instructions
Cardstock – 7″ x 3¼”, score each end at 3¼” & 2 pieces 3¼” x ¾” for reinforcement.
DSP – 3″ x 3″ (4 pieces).
Ribbon – 10″ cut in half for the handles.
Card & Envelope – I started with a Thick White card base of 28cm x 10.5cm and fold in half at 14cm. The patterned paper layer measures 13.5cm x 10cm and is adhered with Multipurpose Glue.
I die cut the two dies at once with Cinnamon Cider cardstock, as the intricate die fits neatly inside the border one. I also used the border die (usually to die cut the stamped image) with the Gold & Rose Gold 6″ x 6″ Metallic Specialty Paper. I placed some Seal+ on the back and wrapped some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon across. Dimensionals were added and adhered to the cardbase. Glue the Cinnamon Cider border die cut onto the Gold die cut.
Next I die cut the inticate die in Basic White card and used my Blends markers to colour the leaves and flowers. Glue this inside the border die cut. I also fussy cut some smaller flowers from another sheet of DSP and glued them to the card. I added some Genial Gems to the centres of the fussy cut flowers and on the DSP card base layer.
To finish, I added a strip of DSP inside the card and the Cinnamon Cider intricate die cut.
Then I needed to make a coordinating envelope using single piece of 12″ x 6″ DSP. How cool is it to have coordinating items?!!!

The die-cut feature on your card looks amazing! What a great idea to inset the detailed die cut so that you could have the foil underneath.

Two gorgeous projects that make a delightful gift bundle. I love your Post it note holder – it would be such a pretty and functional addition to someone’s desk. Your card is lovely – with the metallic underlay, the blends coloured floral die cut, and the fussy cut flowers. The card inner is beautiful as well. Xxx

I especially like the Post-It note holder, and envelope, you have made, Kate. I love the dotty detail on the Cinnamon Cider flower, and the addition of metallic paper, on the Post-It Note holder. Such pretty creations!

What a stunning gift bundle Kate! So many delightful touches but I think my favourite little detail is the way you’ve scalloped the border of your handmade envelope.
