Introduction and Die-cutting with the Splendid Day Suite Collection

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today with my own project created with the beautiful Splendid Day Suite Collection and from Concept Art.

The Splendid Day Suite Collection includes:

SPLENDID THOUGHTS STAMP SET (10% OFF)
Send hugs, best wishes, and warm thoughts in handmade cards you create using the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set. You can use these hand-drawn foliage images and elegantly lettered sentiments on cards for a variety of occasions: weddings, thinking of you, celebration, or just because. You’ll love how the solid images and open images work separately or together. Stamp a solid image in a single color for a monochromatic look or stamp an open image and fill it in with a different color ink. Or stamp an open image over a solid image; the images don’t line up exactly, giving them an abstract wash look. Inspired by Million Sales Achiever Mary Ammar.
* 9 cling stamps

SPLENDID STEMS DIES (10% OFF)
You don’t need a green thumb to “grow” lush foliage. Start with your favorite color of cardstock, use the Splendid Stems Dies to cut out leaves and stems, and add them to your cards and scrapbook pages. There’s even a small bee to buzz through your landscape. There are two kinds of die-cut looks you can achieve with these dies. Use the open dies to cut bold, solid images. Or create delicate, airy die-cuts when you use the thin mono-line dies. You get two looks from one set of dies!
* 9 dies
* Largest die: 1-3/4″ x 3-5/8″
* Use with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Today’s card features the stunning standalone die-cuts in Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sea Foam, Blackberry Bliss, and Shaded Spruce. The half moon ‘planter’ was cut from the suite’s DSP garnished with the so easy to work with Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon.

As always, your shopping Supplies and Instructions, including measurements, are below.

I started out with a Soft Sea Foam A2 card base and layered on a piece of the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper with liquid adhesive. We call this ‘specialty’ because there are foiling accents and raised lines, much like heat embossing, on the paper.

I cut the Old Olive CS mat and layered on another piece of our DSP using liquid adhesive.

I started my die-cutting from the fabulously large Splendid Stems Dies from Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sea Foam, Blackberry Bliss, and Shaded Spruce CS.

The Sahara Sand planter was cut from the DSP.

For final assembly, I arranged my cuts onto the image panel and adhered the large Soft Sea Foam stem with liquid adhesive, followed by the Shaded Spruce stem on the right, Blackberry Bliss stem in the middle, and the Pear Pizzazz stem to the left.

I adhered the half moon planter with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Olive Olive/DSP image panel and adhered that to the card base.

One large and 2 small Brushed Brass Butterflies were scattered about the card front.

A Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon bow was adhered to the center top of the planter with a Mini Glue Dot.

This was super easy to make with endless color opportunities.

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!
