It's Friday again! I hope you're ready for a fun square challenge! Take a look at the card I made for this week's Friday Mashup:
- Stamps: Field Flowers, Flowering Flourishes
- DSP: Greenhouse Gala (retired)
- Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Whisper White
- Ink: Baja Breeze, Real Red
- Accessories: Real Red Satin Ribbon (retired), Glimmer Brad, Stampin’ Dimensionals, needle, red thread, Brights Brads, Paper Piercer, Stampin’ Pierce Mat, Glue Dots
So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:
- Make a project "using the Sketch".
- Or Make a project with "Rosettes".
- Or "Mash it Up" and create a project with the "Sketch featuring Rosettes".
This was a fun challenge! I started off with a piece of Crumb Cake card
stock cut 5” x 10” and scored it at 5”. Next I cut four pieces of Greenhouse
Gala retired DSP 2” x 2” and adhered them onto four 2-1/8” x 2-1/8” pieces of
Early Espresso card stock. I adhered these onto the card front being very
careful to get them as straight as possible.
Next I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock ** x**. I stamped the
flowery swirls from Flowering Flourishes onto the card stock in Baja Breeze ink
to give it some pattern. Then I stamped the greeting from Field Flowers onto
the card stock in Real Red ink. I adhered this onto a ** x** piece of Early
Espresso card stock and adhered it onto the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals.
I used my Paper Piercer and Stampin’ Pierce mat to pierce three holes
in the upper right hand square for the three Real Red brads. Now for the posy.
I cut a 9” piece of Real Red satin ribbon. I absolutely love this ribbon, but
unfortunately it retired this last June. So I have plenty to use up!
I used a needle and some red thread and just stitched a large running
stitch right along one edge of the ribbon. Once I got to the other end I pushed
the ribbon up together on the thread and tied the thread ends into a knot to
keep the ribbon in a tight gather. I tied a couple more knots in the thread
just to be sure it doesn’t come loose and trimmed the thread ends close to the
knot. Then I simply added a red Glimmer Brad into the center of the ruffled
ribbon circle and adhered it onto the card front with a couple Glue Dots. Isn’t
it cute? And so easy to make too! If my written instructions didn’t make any
sense, take a look at the video below.
What do you think?
