Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! On today’s blog I’d like to share with you a “Encouraging/Floral” slimline card made using Floral Notes Stamp Set, Floral Notes Die and Floral Notes Slim Stencils by Pinkfresh Studio. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step on how I’ve made it ↓
To begin with, I started by lining up the Floral Notes Die over a large piece of white cardstock and once I’ve had them line up, I’ve gone ahead to run them through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. Therefore, once I’ve had the die-cutting floral done, I’ve gone ahead to place it inside my Memory MISTI along with the negative piece of white cardstock.
Moving on, after I’ve the die-cutting floral inside the stamping tool, I’ve gone ahead to line up the floral stamp over it and then, I’ve gone ahead to get the floral image stamped twice using Warm Buff Ink. Therefore, after I’ve finished stamping the floral image, I’ve removed the stamp from the stamping tool and, I’ve moved on to lined up the large floral image stencil from Floral Notes Slim Stencils. Thus, once I’ve had it onto place, I’ve gone ahead to ink up the flowers using Ballet Slipper Ink. Next, I’ve removed the stencil from it and I’ve gone ahead to line up the detailed layer stencil. Once, I’ve had the detailed layered stencil over the floral image, I’ve gone ahead to ink it up using Peach Fuzz Ink. Lastly, I’ve removed the detailed layer stencil and, I’ve gone ahead to lined up the last stencil from the set which I’ve gone ahead to ink up the leaves using Misty Coast Ink.
With that said, after I’ve had finished inking it up the floral image, I’ve gone ahead to set it aside and I’ve moved on to ink up a large piece of white cardstock using Basic Plaid Slim Stencil along with Peach Fuzz Ink and Warm Buff Ink to create the plaid background panel for my slimline card. Therefore, after I’ve finished inking up I’ve removed the stencil from the cardstock and I’ve gone ahead to trim off the edges from the card panel to W 3-3/8’’ X H *-1/4’’ inches and once I’ve had that step done, I’ve quickly gotten it adhered to a slimline white card base.
NOTE: This stamp sets are meant to be whimsical so, in other words they don’t line up perfectly. However, if you want to be slightly precise you can manipulate the stenciling by die-cutting first and then, stamping and inking it up last just like I did on this card but trust me, I’m sure you’ll love the whimsical and unfinished look.
Finally, after I’ve had finished adhering the background to the card base, I’ve gone ahead to mount the die-cutting floral piece and to finish the card off, I’ve mounted a sentiment (as shown in the image above) which, I’ve had previously stamp and heated emboss on a piece of white cardstock using one of the sentiments from the stamp set and WOW! Metallic Gold Rich. Then, as a finishing touch, I’ve gone ahead to glue down jewels from the Essentials: Jewel Mix to add a sparkly touch. So, with that being said, I hope you have enjoyed reading the step-by-step on how I’ve made this “Encouraging/Floral” slimline card made using this beautiful stamp, die and coordinating stencil sets by Pinkfresh Studio.
