Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangles and Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder
It's the third Monday of January and that means it's time for the Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' UP! demonstrators sharing a ton of ideas focused on a single stamp set. This week we're featuring the stamp set Timeless Tropical. You have likely come from Mickey Roberts’ blog on your way through this amazing hop. If you get lost, simply click on the banner for a list of participants and get back on track.
The stamp set we are featuring this week is from the new January-June Mini Catalog. The Art Gallery Bundle is an amazing set. I rate it right up there with Painted Poppies. What I love about both these sets is the are designed to look like impressionistic brush strokes. The beauty is the stamped images don’t have to be perfect to be - well - perfect! These projects are super easy. Everyone knows it’s a flower, so feel free to be creative - I did!
My first project starts out with a Basic White card front with the retired Basket Weave 3D Embossing folder and matted on Mossy Meadow Card Stock.
The flower bloom first uses So Saffron ink on So Saffron card stock. It is accented with Pumpkin Pie ink. The leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink on Pear Pizzazz card stock. This set has a matching set of dies which makes it super easy to cut out both images. They are mounted on a rectangle of Basic White card stock cut out using one of the Stitched Rectangles die sets. Mount this on the card front using Mini Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped on Basic White card stock using Mossy Meadow ink and attached to the card front using Mini Dimensionals.
My second project started by stamping three flowers - Crushed Curry/Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay/Coastal Cabana, and Flirty Flamingo/Poppy Parade. Cut them out using the die from the Floral Gallery Die set.
I cut a piece of Basic White card stock 4x5 1/4”. I placed the three flowers so I knew where to stamp the stems. Then one at a time I moved the flower, stamped the stem using Old Olive ink, and put the flower back. Fill in the bottom of the card by inking just the leaves on the stem. Attach the flowers using Mini Dimensionals.
