This is my second “sneak peek” creation with the “Irresistible Blooms” Bundle. Honestly, I’m not sure which is my favorite, the stamps, dies or the beautiful DSP! This suite of products will be available on March 1st as part of Stampin’ Up!’s NEWEST promotion, “Online Exclusives”. See my first card with this bundle HERE.
This was a fairly easy card to create. An “Adhesive Sheet” was placed on the back of the White card stock to cut the “Stringy” die. I ran the “die” back and forth several times through the “Cut & Emboss Machine” so it would cut through the card stock. This card stock piece was about 6″ long, adhered to the DSP, and then trimmed down to 5.5″.
I die cut the flowers and leaves from the “Hello Irresistible DSP” with their coordinating dies. The top flower was only a “half” flower . I placed the flower flush along the DSP and then covered the joint with the die cut leaves. This DSP coordinates with Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock which were previous “In Colors” and I no longer have them. Instead, I chose “Soft Succulent” for my greeting and the additional die cut leaves. I felt this color also worked well with this DSP.
To complete this card, I added a “Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon” Bow as this color blended well with the variegated flowers. Lastly, for some interest, I added three of the “Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls” to the flower centers. Like I said in the beginning of this post, an easy but beautiful card to create!
Stampin’ Up! has indicated that Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock colors coordinate with the “Hello Irresistible DSP”. There has been speculation of a “Color Refresh” by some of us demonstrators. We will find out in time and I will be sure to share this information with all of you once it’s released!
