Daffodil Delight: Full of Life Birthdays

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 22 – Daffodil Delight

Today I feature the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Alphabet A La Mode dies for this inlay technique.  I began with a 3″ strip of the DSP which I cut down to the length of my card and added Adhesive Sheet behind it. I placed the ‘birthday’ letters on top and held them in place with a large post it note so they didn’t move and ran it through my die cutting machine. I did the same on a piece of Black cardstock. I glued the DSP panel to a piece of Textured Metallic Specialty Foil Paper and glued it to the cardfront.

The letters were replaced with the black letters and because I didn’t want to waste the colourful letters, I recreated the card in reverse! On this second card, I mounted the black card onto some of the Gold Foil from the same Textured Metallic Specialty Paper pack! The ‘happy’ is stamed in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool.

Berry Burst: Full of Life Wreath

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 10 – Berry Burst

Today I feature the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP, a vibrant pack of patterned papers. I have used the B side of the design and die cut the little flowers from the Flowers of Beauty dies. I first marked out a circle in pencil for the wreath shape, then inked the image in Pumpkin Pie then used a sponge dauber to add Berry Burst ink around the edges before stamping in the form of a wreath. Once dry, I erased the pencil lines.

The floral die cuts were glued around and some copper Metallic Enamel Effects was added to the centres. The sentiment was inked and stamped in the same way as the background image, die cut with the Everyday Details dies and then added to larger circle on Dimensionals. I added a narrow banner between them in Berry Burst cardstock and a White Baker’s Twine bow. Three Brushed Brass Butterflies were added, can you spot them?

On the inside a strip of the DSP is added with a strip of white card that has some copper Metallic Enamel Effects smeared across it for some extra shine. A few flowers were added as well as on the envelope too!
