So, I’ve played again with the Color & Contour Bundle, die cut some flowers, added some DSP and made two cards. The design was taken primarily from another demonstrator – Amy Koenders, cuz I really like her card, but I wanted to make it my own – so chose different colors etc. and here’s what I did. Thank you Amy, for the inspiration!




Aren’t these fun? So… same layout, different In Colors, different DSP, different ribbon, different card stock. I REALLY like how these turned out. Change the sentiment and you could do this card for just about anything – except masculine 🙂 NOT a man card at all…
Here’s what I did… I made two cards simultaneously, doing all the stamping for each card, just in different colors.
- Cut a panel of DSP (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and adhere to a slightly larger panel (4 x 5 1/4) with liquid glue.
- For the Pale Papaya card I used Hand-Penned DSP and adhered it to Basic White
- For the Polished Pink card, I used Pattern Party DSP and adhered it to Polished Pink card stock
- Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut a Basic White panel – die cut 2
- Stamp the open leaf from the Color & Contour stamp set in Garden Green ink, randomly on the die cut panel, about 4 times. Set aside. Do 2 of these.
- On another piece of Basic White card stock (about 2 x 5) stamp 3 flowers in outline form using Pale Papaya ink. On a panel 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the two flowers (this is for the inside)
- Stamp this same flower on the envelope front – yep, Pale Papaya ink
- Now do the same thing using Polished Pink ink: 3 flowers on the 2 x 5 Basic White panel, 2 flowers on the 4 x 5 1/4 and one on the front of the envelope.
- Now go back to the Pale Papaya ink and stamp the filler for the flowers, stamping off once each time: ink, stamp off, stamp on the paper
- Fill in the Polished Pink flowers in the same way: ink, stamp off, stamp on the paper.
- Die cut the 3 flowers on the 2 x 5 panel: both Pale Papaya & the Polished Pink.
- Adhere two flowers to each die cut & stamped rectangle with Stampin Seal. Adhere the center flower with a single dimensional
- Add trim to the DSP panel:
- for the Pale Papaya card I added Woven 1/2″ Ribbon in Pale Papaya, securing in back with Seal+
- for the Polished Pink card I die cut the fun scallop with the largest scallop rectangle in the Scalloped Contour Dies and adhered it with liquid glue
- Adhere the Stitched Rectangle that now has the 3 flowers on it to the DSP panel, adhering with Seal+
- Wrap each front with ribbon:
- for the Pale Papaya card I used a new Simply Elegant Trim in gold, wrapped it around the DSP panel and made a bow, tying it over the flowers. I adhered the bow with a glue dot.
- for the Polished pink card I wrapped Snail Mail Twine in White around the DSP panel twice and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot.
- Create the sentiment panel for each card:
- for the Pale Papaya card the sentiment is stamped in Pale Papaya ink on a Basic White piece and die cut with one of the Scalloped Contour Dies. I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the card front.
- For the Polished Pink card the sentiment is stamped in – what else – Polished Pink – and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. Again, Put dimensionals on the back and adhere to the card front.
- For a final touch on the Pale Papaya card, I added a Bumblebee trinket to bring out the gold cord.
- These front panels are adhered to their appropriate card bases with dimensionals – and the card front is complete.
For the inside of the card… the Basic White panels have already been created by doing all the stamping at once – yay.
- For the Pale Papaya card, adhere the inside Basic White panel with liquid glue to the card base and voila – Done!
- For the Polished pink card, adhere the Basic White panel to a slightly larger Polished Pink card stock (4 x 5 1/4) with liquid glue then into the inside of the card – and voila – Done!
You can see in the photo above the stamped envelope which we created when doing all the initial stamping. For the pale Papaya card I added more of the Hand-Penned DSP to the envelope flap. Fun! Love these cards!
