Floral Friend Card with Stampin' Up!

Hi crafters,

I have a floral friend card for you today.  It features the retiring Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP) so if you want to get your hands on any of the current patterned papers, shop before 2 June 2020.  They are all while stocks last.  

I started with a half sheet of Thick Whisper White cardstock to make a side-folding card blank.  I added two panels of the Magnolia Lane DSP which had been left over from another project.  I cut the large poppy from the Poppy Moments dies in Petal Pink and Whisper White cardstock.  I coloured the outline die cut with the dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blend.  I glued all the pieces back together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and ran the die cut though the Subtle Embossing Folder for added texture.  I cut the leaves from Mossy Meadow cardstock and then added a layer of dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends to the bottom layer.  The ribbon came from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.  I traced the outline of the friend die onto vellum and cut out with Paper Snips before added the die cut in Cajun Craze on top with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I finished off by adding three Metallic Pearls in gold.  

Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Birthday Celebrations

Hi Crafters,

The Global Stamping Friends are hopping again and this month we are celebrating all things birthday!  We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that love nothing more than sharing our passion for crafting.  

Stampin' Up! has so many great birthday products, it was really hard to choose.  I was able to pre-order the Magnolia Lane suite and it is beautiful.  The colours are so elegant and the designs are suitable for so many occasions.  I opted to use the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, Magnolia Lane Memories and More card pack and the co-ordinating cards and envelopes.  

I started with the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories and More Cards & Envelopes which contain 20 foiled card bases and envelopes, with inserts.  I actually covered up the foiling in this design but it there are plenty more cards in the pack to show off this great feature.  I added a Magnolia Lane Memories & More card from the Card Pack and this was wrapped with the Braided Linen Trim.

To create the centre panel I used Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Bloom and Grown stamp set in Mint Macaron and then stamped the small magnolia image from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set in Crumb Cake.  I coloured the images with my Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink and Mint Macaron.  I raised this panel up using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I hope you are enjoying the hop so far.  There is plenty more inspiration to come and to keep hopping, simply click the arrow below to head to the very talented Tricia's blog.  

Happy crafting,
