Welcome back to another 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop. If you are already going through the hop, you should have just arrived here from visiting my good friend, Cindy Schuster. When you leave here you will travel on to visit the very talented Inge Groot. You will be amazed at all the fabulous projects created by the Artisan Design Team so be sure to go all the way through the blog hop!
The Affectionately Yours Suite is so much fun to work with. I used the Love & Affection photopolymer stamp set along with the Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP. I made two different cards using the same basic supplies with a few additions. Let's start with the card on the left.
I started by stamping some of the smaller flowers from the stamp set with Whisper White Craft Stampin' Ink on a Crumb Cake cardstock panel. I heat set the ink and then I stamped the greeting with Basic Black ink. Next, I sponged Early Espresso Ink around the edges and wrapped on some Linen Thread. Each flower has two layers. The bottom layer was punched with the Pansy Punch and the smaller flower was die cut with the smaller flower from the Botanical Builder Framelits. The leaves were also die cut using the Rose Garden Thinlits. I topped each flower with Classy Designer Buttons and mounted the entire panel on a top-folding Crumb Cake card base.
For my second card I cut five 1"x4" strips of designer series paper, sponged ink around the edges, and mounted them on a Crumb Cake card base.
I used the new Layering Squares Framelits to die cut two squares. The larger square is from Night of Navy cardstock and the smaller square is from Crumb Cake cardstock. I stamped the greeting in Basic Black ink. The flower and leaves were die cut with the Botanical Builder Framelits.
