Welcome, crafty friends! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday with friends & family. Our time was filled with music, food, memories, and fun! And today we’re snuggled in enjoying a day of rest. What about you? I know lots of folks like to get out and shop the deals on the day after Christmas. I would much rather do that in my PJs these days myself.
On to crafty things. I wanted to highlight the beautiful new Mixed Media Florals bundle that will be launching in the January 7th Mini Catalog. Today’s design began with Sketch #16 from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, but when all is said and done, it’s more of a jumping off point for today’s card. I love how the elements work together in this design to move your eye down and across.
We get started with a base of Basic Black cardstock. The background panel is a sheet of the Mixed Media Florals designer series paper. Our focal elements are all standing front and center thanks to some dimensionals. That starts with the greenery cut from a sheet of pastel ombre glimmer paper using the Mixed Florals dies. I added a few flowers cut from white and Real Red glimmer paper using the Country Woods dies. The flower centers are gold low profile dots. A paper butterfly is coming in for a sniff up in the corner. The sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies is stamped in black on white cardstock and then cut using the Heart Shaped banner die. We ground the sentiment with a strip of Shaded Spruce satin & sheer ribbon that is tied off with some gold thread.
