Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you're joining me today! Tonight is THE night for the February Ink to Paper release! We're also celebrating the 14th anniversary, so you'll enjoy a 15% discount on your purchases!
This is a fun bonus card that I'm sharing and is the card I created on the Zoom call with Lori Craig! Were any of you there? I'd love to hear from you? It's kind of weird typing this out BEFORE I have the meeting and hoping everything will go well! ha ha! Anyway...I wanted to show pictures of the completed card and give you some step by step directions that maybe won't get covered on Zoom! By the way...if you would have told me a year ago that I would be demoing cards on Zoom, my first question would be, "What in the world is Zoom?" LOL!
This card uses the beautiful new Lush Blooms stamp set that will be released tonight at 10 PM ET. It is such a beautiful floral set with a few different sentiments to create fabulous cards quickly and easily!
To begin, I die cut the Ornate Cover Plate portion of the background AND the Border Bling: Skinny Diagonals Frames out of Aqua Mist cardstock. I glued both of them to a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch piece of Aqua Mist cardstock for a tone on tone look. Once that was done, I was able to add the smallest panel from the Love to Layer: Notched Die over the top using foam squares. I did, however, stamp the "you make me smile" portion of the sentiment BEFORE I added it to the background panel. Once that was done, I was ready to start adding the flowers and leaves.
I chose to use two different colored blooms; Lilac Grace, Winter Wisteria, and Plum Pudding for one, and Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, and Berry Sorbet for the other. The leaves are stamped in Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, and Ripe Avocado ink.
I love that this stamp set has a die for the "just because" portion of the sentiment to allow for creative placement. I love how it looks hovering above the flowers! I finished off this floral design with some glitter and some sparkling clear sequins! Thanks for fluttering by!

I was on the zoom tonight. Thank you for showing us your delightful card. (I was the one who made you run downstairs for your glue pen and then your cards. Haha!) Watching you create is so much fun, and I just love all of your tips!
