Lovely Arrangements Hello Friend

Lovely Arrangements Hello Friend

Today, I’m sharing one of the cards we made during my monthly in-person classes in Mesa, Arizona, with Stampin’ Up!’s Lovely Arrangements Bundle. I shared a quick sponging technique using one of the die cuts. Do you see the one below with the pattern?

I cut a piece of Thick Basic White Cardstock to 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 and die cut with the patterned piece. I then placed the cardstock on my card base and sponged on Secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. Basically, I made a stencil, and it creates a really fun background.

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Measurements and Details

  • Crumb Cake cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Sponge the background using the above directions using the stencil. I applied the ink in the upper left corner and bottom right.
  • Secret Sea cardstock measuring 3 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut with the multi-circle die cut shape
  • Flowers stamped in Secret Sea and die cut with coordinating dies
  • Sentiment stamped in Secret Sea and die cut with coordinating die
  • Secret Sea 3/8-inch Bordered Open Weave Ribbon
  • Moody Palette Glossy Dots

I do love this bundle for its variety of sentiments and its unique die cuts. Check out another card here.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please let me know if you have questions about this DIY project or any others.

Thanks,
