Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles Love & Big Hugs
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a fun and colorful card using the Sending Smiles Bundle from the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.
To create the card I used a piece of Basic White Cardstock and ink blended Calypso Coral Ink, Fresh Freesia Ink, and Coastal Cabana Ink with my Blending Brushes on to it. I then cut another piece of Basic White Cardstock the same size and used the Framed Florets Dies to die cut the heart oval and the inside oval to create a window. Once the ink blending was dried I added the oval layer with strong adhesive. Next I attached the colorful window layer to a Basic Black Cardstock mat layer, before adding it to the card base made from Fresh Freesia Cardstock.
After assembling the base of the card it was time to work on the focal image. I stamped one of the stems and four of the floral images on Vellum Cardstock and the large Sending onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock all in Versamark Ink before covering them with White Embossing Powder from the Basics Embossing Powders. I heat set all the images and used the matching dies from the Sending Dies to cut all the images out. I attached them to the card front with a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I finished off the card by adding a sub-sentiment strip stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink onto a strip of Basic White Cardstock. I attached this sentiment strip to the card front with a little piece of Foam Adhesive Strips. I then added a bow made from some of the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon attached to the stem of one of the flowers with a Mini Glue Dot. To add that last touch to the card I added a few of the Pastel Pearls sprinkled around the card.
