Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating today! I hope that you’re able to spend the day with your loved ones…we’ll soon be stuffed with Prime Rib, cheesy hash brown potatoes and lots of dessert! A little unusual for the Thanksgiving feast, but since I do the cooking, I decide the menu. 😉
I used the Stampin’ Up! And Many More stamp set and the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies and Botanical Garden DSP from the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog to create my card for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop this week. We’ve got a sketch challenge to play along with and here is what I created for it:
Here is the sketch that we’re playing with this week:
I started by cutting the edge of a panel from the Botanical Gardens DSP (available Jan 5) with the Botanical Builder Framelits Die (available Jan 5). I adhered the die cut panel to another panel from the Botanical Gardens DSP pack with SNAIL, then to a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a flower and four flower centers with the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies from Cajun Craze card stock, then cut three flowers from Hello Honey card stock with the Framelits set.
I adhered the die cut flower pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the smaller flower and an Iced Rhinestone Embellishment to the center of the larger flower.
I stamped the sentiment from the And Many More stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and punched it out with the Washi Label Punch. I sponged the edges of the punched sentiment panel with Cajun Craze ink, then adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.
I adhered a strip of Botanical Gardens DSP to a Whisper White panel inside the card.
