Irresistible Blooms for As You See It Challenge #305

 

Welcome back to my blog during the hot summer days! Thanks for taking the time to read my posts, I appreciate it! Today I'm sharing a card I made as my DT sample for As You See It Challenge #305 - Recipe for Summer Sunshine. It's a Recipe Challenge, so we are given 6 elements this time, by team member Joanne, that we have to include in our card. Here's the challenge banner:

I looked for a stamp set with coordinating DSP that had shades of yellow in it and I came up with the Hello, Irresistible suite of products, which are from the Online Exclusive products found only on the Stampin' Up! website. You have to go to the Online Store and click on Online Exclusives from the menu in order to find them, or type in Hello, Irresistible.

As you see, we need a circle, patterned paper, a die cut, shades of yellow, an enamel dot AND a thank you sentiment for this challenge. Here's what I did with all those elements:

• On a Basic White Thick cardstock base I added a layer of Lemon Lolly cardstock, embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and I blended some Daffodil Delight in over the raised bits.
• I stamped two of the smaller flower images from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Combo Markers to colour in one and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Markers to colour in the other. I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
• I stamped the sentiment, also from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, in Memento ink on Basic White cardstock, and die cut it using one of the sentiment flags from Stylish Shapes dies.
• Using the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper in yellow shades, I die cut two rings, using the nesting stitched circles from the Stylish Shapes dies.
• I arranged these items on the card front and adhered them with liquid glue and Mini Dimensionals.
• I added 3 Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to complete the elements needed.

Irresistible Blooms Bundle for As You See It Challenge #293

I'm really excited to introduce to you a new suite of products that will be available for you to see in the Online Store only starting March 1st. This is the Hello, Irresistible Suite and today I'm using some of it for the As You See It Challenge #293 - Recipe in Pinks & Pearls. This is a Recipe Challenge, as you might have guessed from the title and here is the challenge banner:

This challenge included a couple of different recipe elements from what we've used before. I was the host of this challenge and wanted to move us away from the usual without being too difficult, so I included distressed paper and pearls as ingredients along with shades of pink, blossoms and an embossing folder. I was definitely thinking shabby chic, but ended up coming up with a slightly different concept, myself:

• On a card base of Flirty Flamingo, I placed a layer of Basic White cardstock, 5 1/4" x 4", embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and distressed around the edges.  
• On that I adhered a layer of the Hello, Irresistible DSP, cut at 4 1/2" x 3 14", and distressed again around the edges.
• Using the Irresistible Blooms Dies, I die cut the embellished lines you see at the bottom from Basic White cardstock and glued them on across both layers, trimming them at the ends of the white.
• On a piece of Fluid 100 watercolour paper, I embossed two of the smaller flowers and the 1 large flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set along with the two sets of leaves with White embossing powder.
• Using a wet-on-wet technique I watercoloured the blooms with Flirty Flamingo in different strengths and for the large bloom, I used a bit of Polished Pink as well.
• After drying, I painted the leaves shades of Soft Sea Foam and dried them.
• I used the coordinating dies to die cut all the pieces and added them to the DSP panel with glue dots and dimensionals.
• For the pearls, I used a combination of Pastel Pearls and Iridescent Pearls.
• Finally, I took a length of White Seam Binding Ribbon and coloured it using a Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker (alcohol marker) and tied a double finger bow and attached it.
