Have you seen Stampin' Up!'s new Rainbow Glimmer Paper? It's part of the beautiful Artistry Blooms Suite. And, I think, part of the fun with Stampin' Up! is mixing up the suites, using accessories from one with images from another.
A few hints for this card:
- The vellum front card - this semi-translucent paper gives such a special look. The vellum appears delicate but makes a sturdy card front. Construct the card base by cutting a piece of vellum cardstock about 3/8" wider than your card front: 4 5/8" wide by 5 1/2" tall. Lightly score the left side at 3/8" and fold over, securing to the back of a white 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock.
- I use 2 different Stitched rectangle dies, taped together, to cut the frame out of the Rainbow Glimmer paper. Save the remaining die cut rectangle cut from the middle for another project.
- I recommend using Mini Glue Dots to adhere the frame to the vellum card front. You will need to roll the edges a bit so that they don't stick out from behind the frame.
- Die cut a smaller So Saffron Rectangle and stamp your greeting. I used this one from A Grand Kid. It's companion sentiment is: "You must be related to me". That is the great things about this set. A couple of the sentiments are specific to grandchildren but the others have a much wider use.
- Add a few Old Olive sprigs, using some of the smaller dies from the Sunflower dies (part of the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle).
- Stamp, color and die cut a couple of small sunflowers from Celebrate Sunflowers. I used the Blends combos for Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody and Old Olive.
- It never hurts to add a little more sparkle from Wink of Stella.
- Pop up the top sunflower with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Here is a close-up of those shimmering sunflowers. Do you see how I mixed the Mango Melody and Magenta Madness on the top sunflower? I love the playful look!
