Last week I shared three projects with the Sending Smiles bundle seen here. I think it's one of the best choices in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!
I also wanted to use the Pretty Prints designer paper and chose the Bermuda Bay sheet in the package. I also wanted to use one of the new In Colors and settled on Sweet Sorbet.
Next I had to choose a coordinating color to soften these two vibrant colors and settled on Blushing Bride. I was so surprised how well these colors combined!
The next thing that inspired this layout was a card sketch we have been working on in my Flowerbug's Team group. As you can see I changed the main image to be on the angle.
Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get inspiration on card layouts.
Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 4" square
- White 2 3/4" square
- Sweet Sorbet 2 7/8" square
- Glimmer paper strip 3/8" X 4 1/4"
Can you see that the flowers are darker in the center and lighter on the outer petals? I inked the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink and stamped off once. Then I used a sponge dauber to add more Sweet Sorbet ink to just the center. You can see this technique in the video here.
This next card was a make & take at my New Catalog Launch party a few weeks ago. I wanted to have a cute but easy card they could make featuring our new In Colors.
They were able to stamp the flowers easily and perfectly with the Stamparatus. You can see how it's done in the video below.
One of my favorite thing about this bundle is how versatile the greetings are; so many possibilites!
Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"
- Starry Sky is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
