Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for our first Online Exclusive Suite Collection of Hello, Irresistible, which is now available to you as part of our new Online Exclusives Product Line. You will love the other products exclusive to this new product line.
What’s unique about this is that these products will be released 3x annually in March, July, and November, are not for sale in any of our publications, and do not have an retire or end date … all of which is extremely cost-effective with a fresh, classic product base.
When you see the words ‘classic’ and ‘basic,’ or standalone die-cut sets with shapes, stitches, etc., you can bet that they are going to be around for years and are always a good investment.
There are a million ways this card could have been created using all sorts of inks, embossing, coloring, whatever else your heart desires.
I brought in our Watercolor Pencils and Gold Fine Shimmer Paper + the new Basics Embossing Folders.
As always, your shopping Supplies and Instructions, including measurements, are below.
I started out with an A2 landscape top-folding 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 Mossy Meadow card base.
I cut two piece of Gold Shimmer Paper to 5 x 1/2″ and added Tear & Tape to the back of each. Using my Stamparatus tool, I placed the card base at the L-corner, measured in 1/4″ and adhered the Gold Shimmer to the card base.
I then cut down a piece of Basic White Regular CS to 5-1/4″ x 4 and ran this through the criss-cross Online Exclusives Basics Embossing Folder using Tear & Tape to adhere to the card base.
I stamped the 2 sets of leaves from Hello, Irresistible onto Basic White Regular CS with Old Olive ink. I left the image on the lid of the Stamparatus. I used an Old Olive Watercolor Pencil to color in the white part of the leaves and used a Blender Pen to even up and draw out the color. I then re-stamped the image again to crisp up the lines and then cut from their coordinating dies.
I stamped the smallest flower from Hello, Irresistible onto Basic White Regular CS with Daffodil Delight ink and again, leaving the image on the lid of the Stamparatus. I used a Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil to color in the line art of the flower and used a Blender Pen to even up and draw out the color. I then re-stamped the image again to crisp up the lines and then cut from its coordinating die.
There are shapes and sizes of frames in the Something Fancy Die-Cuts and I cut the large frame from Gold Shimmer Paper. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White Regular CS in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut that from the small coordinating frame. I adhered the sentiment to the frame with Tear & Tape.
I am using Tear & Tape to adhere the Gold Shimmer Paper to and from any element because of the texture on the front and back of this paper where Tear & Tape works best.
For final assembly, I laid out my leaves, flower, and sentiment atop of the card base to figure out how I wanted to adhere everything.
In order, I adhered the leaves to the card base with liquid adhesive at the bottom and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top.
Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were adhered to the flowers where it would not overlap the leaves.
I adhered the top left flower first. I tied a large Basic White bow from our Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and adhered this to the card base with a Mini Glue Dot, and then adhered the flower over it.
For the sentiment panel, I applied Stampin’ Dimensionals to the base where needed and liquid adhesive to what would lay atop of the flowers.
This is why you wing your layout and keep a mental note of what’s going to go where. If I have to step away from something, I take a picture with my cell to jumpstart what I had going on.
The Loose Frosted Dots are a part of the Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection in three different sizes and colors. I scattered about all 3 sizes in Daffodil Delight adhering them with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen, with 2 large dots used for the stamens.
I did the inside pretty much the same as the front.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and have a great day!
