Waves of Inspiration with Stitched with Whimsy Dies by Stampin Up® Happy Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I hope your here to get some inspiration for creating cards!

For this card I combined the Waves of Inspiration Bundle with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies.  Now I love the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper but I wanted to use a different color palette so I created my own design for the background.

Hope you like this idea and will recreate it!

Here are the card cuts, instructions and supply list:

Card Cuts:

Card base - Evening Evergreen - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Boughs & Blossoms Bundle Stamparatus Wreath

So glad you stopped by my blog today!  A few years back I found a template to use with my Stamparatus to help stamp wreaths straight and pretty.  

For this card I decided to use my template again for the background of this wreath.

I brought in the Heart and Home Designer series paper and Wink of Stella to help make this card pop!

Below  you will find the card cuts, instructions, supply list and a video link to see how I created this card!

Card cuts: DSP = Designer Series Paper

Card base - Basic Gray 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Card Stock - Evening Evergreen - (4) 1 3/4 x 4, - Basic White - 2 x 6; 4 x 5 1/4, -Basic Gray - 1 x 2

DSP - Heart and Home - Woodgrain pattern- 4 x 4; Flower pattern - 1 1/2 x 4

Instructions:

(Using a piece of Window sheet make a template per video)

Place the Woodgrain DSP onto the template place the leaf stamp in the upper right hand corner so that it does not go off the sheet.  Then stamp first in Shaded Spruce all the way around moving the Woodgrain DSP as shown in the video.  Then move the stamp a little towards the inside of the other stamp and using Soft Succulent do it all again!

Adhere both pieces of DSP together overlapping the Woodgrain over the Flower pattern making the whole piece 4 x 5 1/4.  Then wrap the ribbon around both pieces lining it up just below the Woodgrain DSP.  Adhere both to the card front.

Using the Evening Evergreen pieces and the Bough Punch, punch out 7 of the leaves.  Then using Liquid glue arrange them over the stamped images as shown.

On the 2 x 6 Basic White piece: stamp the more detailed flower once in Pale Papaya and once in Soft Succulent.  Then stamp the other flower using Fresh Freesia twice.  Fussy cut them all out. 

Using a bone folder turn up the edges on the Fresh Freesia Flowers then adhere them as shown using Mini Glue Dots.  Color in with Wink of Stella.

Adhere the Soft succulent flower behind the Pale Papaya flower.  Color in with Wink of Stella.  Then adhere the as shown using Mini Dimensionals.

Using the Dark Evening Evergreen Stamp N Blend marker color in 1 large rhinestone and 14 small rhinestones.  Set aside to dry just a bit.

Using Versa Mark ink stamp the sentiment onto the Basic Gray piece then cover with White embossing powder, shake off excess then heat up with heat tool.  Cut out with the smallest Stiched So Sweetly rectangle die.  (Note: it doesn't look like it will fit but it will)

Adhere to card front centering in the middle of the wreath.

For the inside of the card stamp the flowers in the bottom right hand corner as shown.  Then stamp the sentiment in Basic Gray.  Adhere to the inside of the card.
