Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals

Welcome to this months Ink. Stamp. Share monthly Blog Hop we our a

group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world

sharing card making and papercraft ideas and inspiration using

Stampin' Up! Products. Your currently with me Laura Mackie a

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.

Each month we host a hop with a theme and this months theme is

to share what we have been making, I'm sharing a card and

gift bag I made recently for my mums 65th Birthday

using the Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals Stamp set to

make her card and matching gift bag

I made a gate fold card using Fresh Freesia

cardstock to create the card base,

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock for the front and

inside of my card which I stamped with using the

Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, I stamped in Black memento

ink and then used the following colours to stamp again and

add colour to the Stamped images, The stamp set is known as a two step

stamp set, so you stamp the outline image and then you stamp

again with matching stamps to colour the image in.

Inks used:

Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent,

Pale Papaya and Flirty Flamingo.

the Sentiment is stamped in Fresh Fresia and

Black memento ink with the Biggest Wish Stamp set.

I also made a matching gift bag too, using

two sheets of basic white cardstock and

Fresh Fresia Cardstock

Here is the tag I made for the gift bag

Picture over load or what!!!

I've used the Fresh Freesia Open weave ribbon to create

the handles for the gift bag, which also matched the

ribbon on the card and tag!

Inside the gift bag is a few gifts but one

being the decorated Scalloped treat box which was

the perfect size to hold a piece of jewellery,

I made the rolled flower from Fresh Fresia cardstock

with a simple stamped tag, using the Tailor made Tags,

and again more of the open weave ribbon again in

fresh freshia and Pale Papaya.

I added a few Matte Black dots on the Card, Tag

and Gift box to finish off everything, I love these

black dots their simple but subtly coordinated

with the outline stamped image and sentiment.
