Stampin' Up! Celebrating Sunflowers
Thank You for visiting us at the NEW AT SU!
Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world
who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we
are showcasing products from the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up! Catalog.
For my projects, I am featuring the Celebrating Sunflowers Bundle. I love sunflowers so I was very excited to set this gorgeous set in the new catalog. I absolutely LOVE the die that lets you cut out a big lacy flower.
Spotlight Technique
I decided to try out the spotlight technique. This technique highlights a small portion or certain areas of a stamped image to draw attention to it. This is a good technique to use on a large stamped image or if you don't feel like coloring a large area.
I began by stamping the largest image in the stamp set on a thick whisper white card base. I did not stamp a complete image and I offset several of the images. Then, I colored the image I wanted to highlight with the Stampin' Blends. I die cut a large flower out of copper foil for the overlay and glued it over my colored image.
Fun Fold Card
For my next card, I decided to do a fun Fold. On this fold, the center is left open and the top and bottom are held together by the large sunflower.
I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Stampin' Blends. Then I add dimension by layering a lacy flower and a cut out of the center and finally a center on a dimensional.
Measurements For this fold
Card Base: Cinnamon Cider 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side, using the scoring blade on your paper trimmer, slide to the left so the score line is at the 1-3/4″and cut. Now, cut the piece that is left over down to 1-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ for the bottom of the card. Use Designer Series Paper on the top and bottom cut at 1 9/16 by 4.
After the card is assembled you may want to add a die-cut piece to the bag of the sunflower so it doesn't show where the alcohol ink bleeds through the paper.
