Five Way Flower

Hello Crafters,

If you saw my blog post yesterday, it was of some gift card holders and so I thought I would create another one today for the Just Add Ink ~ Just Add Stripes Challenge!

I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the tabs for closing this gift card holder. I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to create the background stripes, stamping one way and then the other, giving it more of a tartan look. I stamped the Five Way Flower stamp in Tangerine Tango and Wild Wasabi ink on white card and punched out with the scallop circle punches. Then used dimensionals to give them a lift between the layers and a brad on the top.

The ribbon is Whisper White Taffeta and I coloured it with the Wild Wasabi ink pad before adhering to the card and making a bow to stick on the front.

Here it is open!

Did you see the embossed stripes of the insert holding the gift card?!!!

Hello Crafters,

Following on from yesterdays card, I thought it would be nice to make a card for the first time Grandparents, whose daughter had a baby girl this week!

Naturally it had to be pinks and as I hadn’t used my Five Way Flower (#131088) stamp yet, I thought it was time to ink it up!

I stamped the image onto white, twice in Melon Mambo and twice in Blushing Bride. Using the scallop circle punches, I punched a layer from each of the images, alternating the colours.

The background is die cut from the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits (#126999) in Blushing Bride card.

I didn’t have any coordinating ribbon, but I did have some very vanilla taffeta, so I took to it with the Melon Mambo ink pad!

The sentiment I typed on the computer and punched out with Large Oval (#119855) and layered onto the Scallop Oval (#119856).

To finish it off, I coloured a pearl using the blushing bride stampin’ write marker and placed it into the centre of the flower.

This is a very simple, but effective card and I am sure the new grandparents will love it, just as much as their new bundle of joy!
