Stamin' Up! Painted Harvest for a special birthday!
Hello, anyone who knows me will tell you that I am notoriously bad at remembering birthdays. If you ask my friend Kath for instance, she will tell you that if you want any chance of receiving a card from me on your birthday, you have to remind me - constantly!
Kath has been reminding for several weeks now that she will be celebrating a rather special birthday on the 24th August - now she has seen her card I can share it with you.
One of my favourites from the upcoming Autumn / Winter catalogue has to be Painted Harvest. I have used it several times already.
Such lovely two step images, the leaves will be useful for lots of different projects too.
I had this idea in my head for a card but was not sure what the technique was called. I usually have a quick look on Pinterest before starting a special project but, in this instance it was tricky to do a search when you don't know what you are looking for!
So, I just got on with it!
I used the Large Letter dies to cut the word 'friend' from some thick Whisper White card stock. I then placed the letters back into the card and stamped the sunflowers and leaves. Removing the letters once again, I mounted the panel onto some Early Espresso card stock. I used the fabulous Mini Dimensionals to adhere the letters back onto the card panel - sort of like a child's jigsaw!
As I mentioned above, Kath was celebrating a special birthday so, I couldn't leave the card as it was could I? I decided that the inside needed something extra special too!
I die cut the relevant numbers (Kath, I am so sorry!) and stamped a sunflower across them. I stamped some leaves and cut them out with the coordinating punch. I used the Number of Years stamp set for the sentiment.
An additional sunflower finished off the inside!
I was really pleased with how the card turned out; I was even impressed that it had worked first time around just as I had imagined it! Then I realised I would need an envelope for such a large card. Of course, I didn't have anything suitable - no problem I thought, I will make one! The next problem was finding some paper big enough to make it with. When I pre ordered this gorgeous stamp set I also purchased the matching Designer Series Papaer. I confess I am something of a DSP hoarder and don't use it very often; I do however like to look at it!
Look at the gorgeous colours in these stunning Designer Series Papers - lovely! With no other option, I cut into my paper (sigh) to make and envelope with my Envelope Punch Board.
A few minutes later and it was done! Here is the completed card and envelope.
I am pleased to report that Kath had a wonderful birthday and she loved her card.
Thanks for looking at my blog, please come back soon so you don't miss anything! Please note that the new items I used for this project are not available to order until the 1st September.

I love it. Doesn't seem to matter what colour is used this stamp just "works"
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev - I love it too! I have to say my preference is for the blue flowers I created earlier this week! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! What size is your card base?
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura. I used the full A4 sheet and folded in half length ways to make a DL sized card - hope that helps? :)
