Love What You Do

Hello, Crafters.

Stampin’ Up! have annoumnced a special promotion for the month of May.

There is going to be a pre-release of the forthcoming Share What

You Love Suite, which will be available in the new Annual Catalogue

when it goes live on 1st. June 2018. I’m really pleased that

SU have chosen this Suite for the pre-release because I know it’s

going to be an easy suite to work with. ☺

Today’s card has been made with products that will be available

during the pre-release! The colours I have used for the two

inks are two of the new 2018 – 202 InColours: Lovely Lipstick

(dark pink) and Call Me Clover (green). This is my spin

on a card Stampin’ Up! have produced to go with the early release.

I stamped the sentiment using me Call Me Clover Ink and die

cut it using the no. 3 Stitched Shape Framelits circle die. When

I was happy this was the right size, I drew a pencil circle on the

Whisper White Cardstock (CS) layer so I knew the

positioning of the stamp/flowers.

I stamped five sets of flowers at different angles to achieve a

bouquet-looking effect, and coloured the centres of the flowers

with the two different sized infill stamps, stamping off once each time.

Next I stamped some leafy fronds in Call Me Clover, again

stamping off once so the colour wasn’t too dark.

I fussy cut four flowers from a sheet I’d stamped but wasn’t happy

with – it happens! ☺ – and adhered one to the bottom of the sentiment.

I added a small Basic Rhieston on the base of each flower to add a

bit of sparkle to my card.

I added a layer of Lovely Lipstick CS and a layer of Whisper White

CS inside the card. Finally, I decorated the bottom right-hand

corner with the other three flowers I’d fussy cut.

That’s about it from me today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
