Daffodil Afternoon Slimline

 

Check out this pretty slimline card!

I used the Daffodil Afternoon DSP.

This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is a Sale-a-bration choice

that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

This Soft Succulent Slimline envelope can be purchased.

It is on page 53 in the Spring Mini.

#157981- Slimline Envelopes= $10.00 

for 15 envelopes- 5 each of 3 colors- Soft Succulent, White & Smoky Slate

 Isn't this so bright, cheery & springy!

NOTE:  I made this card 7 1/2 x 8 1/2"- scoring at 3 3/4" & fold in half for card base.

This size does fit into the slimline envelope, but it is very snug!

If I make another slimline card I will cut it to 7 x 8 1/2"- score at 3 1/2" 

& fold in half for card base,  so that is fits into the Stampin' Up! slimline envelopes better. 

 

How did I do it?

Look how I layered the words........

1.  I stamped them onto a 2" strip of Very Vanilla card stock & punch it out

using the Tailored Tag Punch.

2.  I then used Basic Black card stock & punch out 2 Tailored Tag pieces.

 

3.  NOTICE how I cut them using my scissors.

One of them I cut in half vertically.

And one of them I cut in half horizontally.

 

4.  I then layered them behind the words.

 This is what it looks like from the back side when all layered together. 

*NOTE that I did snip off a little bit of the Basic Black card stock 

from each end of the Tailored Tag Punch once I got it layered together.

This way there are even edges all the way around the layered words as shown above.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Stenciled flowers

WOW!

Check out this awesome stenciled flower!!! 

 

These stencils are from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks-

#158142 (set of 6) Spring Mini pg. 65= $10.00

How did I do it?

You will be using Blending Brushes to add the ink- #153611= $12.00 (set of 3).

 

#1.  Start with this solid image stencil, using the lighter color of ink- Petal Pink.

This is what it looks like when you remove the stencil.

 

#2.  Use this stencil that has the thinner flower images in it, using the darker ink- Calypso Coral.

This is what it looks like when you remove the stencil.

 

#3.  Use the leaf stencils to go around the edge of the flowers.

I used Old Olive ink.

This is what it looks like when you have the leaves added!

Look at this- this is what you don't want to do.......

IMPORTANT- make sure that you use Post-it-Notes or coverings all around the 

stencil image that you are sponging, so that you don't get ink on the card stock in 

places that you don't want it to be on.

Isn't this just gorgeous!

It is clean, simple & elegant.

 

Honestly- I almost always put words on the front of my card.

The way I had the leaves stenciled here I didn't feel that I could add words 

anywhere to balance everything out, so my card is word free on the outside.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

card stock:

• Calypso Coral- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  
• Vellum- 3 1/4 x 4 1/4"
  
• Basic White- 3 x 4"- stencil flowers/leaves onto this
  
• Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  You're A Peach- 1 x 4" (x2)

ink:  Petal Pink; Calypso Coral; Old Olive

other:  Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks; Basic Pearls; Blending Brushes; dimensionals; Post-it-Notes

 

I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Happy Stamping!

How did I do the words?

I did stamp them out of 2 different stamp images- onto a strip of Basic White cardstock, 

cut them out & layered them onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

I used the blends- #9 (Light Deep) to #3 (Light Medium) to color these hands.

on the front, to make it look like a brick wall.

White Wash technique

 I did the White Wash technique on this card!

Isn't it just gorgeous!!

And it is so easy to do!

 

I used used a hostess exclusive set called- 'Calming Camellia'.

This 'Calming Camellia' stamp set is shown 

on page 17 in the 2022 Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog.

Wow- All hostess orders of at least $300 get this stamp set for FREE.

 

This 'Calming Camellia' stamp set is a dis'ink'tive style stamp.

That means it is patented by Stampin' Up!

This style of stamps give you the light & dark shading naturally

by only inking your stamp one time & stamping it!

Cool huh!

I used my Whisper White Craft Ink Pad & a Blender Pen to 

color over the top of these stamped flowers.

NOTES:  Be careful doing this technique so that you don't ruin your Whisper White Craft Ink Pad.

• I found that a little ink & a fluid is better than too much.   As the Whisper White Craft ink dries, it will lighten if you didn't add it on too thick. I just lightly dabbed my blender pen directly into the corner of my Whisper White Craft Ink Pad to pick up the white ink.
  
• I stamped my flowers/leaves using the Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink directly onto the RichRazzleberry card stock- creating a tone on tone look.  Classic ink color will pick up on the tip of your Blender Pen.  So the corner of my Whisper White Craft ink pad where I picked up the white ink did end up a little light purple/pinkish in color.  So when I was all done coloring my flower,  I blotted that spot that was on my Whisper White Craft ink pad with a paper towel to remove the purple/pinkish color/ink that was on it.   I then re-inked that spot with the Whisper White Craft Ink.
• I suggest that IF you have an un-inked stampin spot, I suggest maybe you should ink it up with the Whisper White Craft Ink & use it instead of your big Whisper White Craft ink pad.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Calming Camellia'

card stock:

• Rich Razzleberry- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
