SUOC241: Flowers with Positive Thoughts + Nature’s Thoughts Dies

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for SUOC241, where I’m featuring Positive Thoughts + Nature’s Thoughts Dies in a floral theme.

Before I forget, we do have a NEW die-cutting machine coming out in June 2020 in the Annual Catalog. I’ll introduce this to you in a few months. Since I was hollering about not seeing the sun for a while, it’s out today!

Positive Thoughts is from the Spring Catalog with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts dies releasing on February 4.

This is a fantastic and versatile stamp set with a DistINKtive texture. All of the images have a coordinating die-cut, plus a scallop dot large frame, large feather, large flower stamen, 2 sprigs, small butterfly outline, and a braid-type of die-cut. On my card below, I used the braid and stamen dies. The tiny Silver Foil hearts are from the little die-cut butterfly that’s part of the wings.

I have a Basic Gray A2 top-folding card base with a piece of Whisper White CS layered on top die-cut from the largest Stitched Rectangle die adhered with liquid glue. Two 2-1/8″ Stitched Shapes squares were die-cut from Calypso Coral and Night of Navy, centered from top to bottom, side to side, on the Whisper White CS. I tied a length of Linen Thread around the card into a knot in the middle, that the Night of Navy stamped sentiment, die-cut from Stitched Shapes 2-1/2″ circle, and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The feather and butterfly in the top left corner were stamped in Smoky Slate and Night of Navy. All images were inked up using the Rock ‘n Roll technique, which is a very old and forgotten technique. The Silver Foil Sheet braid was adhered first on the right side of the sentiment circle. The largest image was stamped in Grapefruit Grove with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals doubled up on the right of the image. The flower on the bottom right Night of Navy square was stamped in Calypso Coral with a Smoky Slate die-cut stamen in the center.

Once I got everything adhered, I took another length of Linen Thread to make a cheater’s bow and tied it to the right of the large Grapefruit Grove sprig.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit. We would love to have you join us over at SUO Challenges. Have a great day and God bless.
