Scrap 'N Stamp August Inspiration Hop - "Sunflowers"


Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Scrap 'N Stamp Canada's August Inspiration HOP with a theme of Sunflowers! 

The sunflower collection from Crafters Companion is so lovely - I am looking forward to seeing what the other Designers came up with too!  You can see the whole blog hop list on the SNS Blog HERE:  I chose the 6 x 6" paper pad and the Sunflower Wishes stamps to work with and was so inspired I made three cards in three different sizes. I have all the details in my YouTube video:   


First up is the Sunflower Shutter Card, using dies by Lawn Fawn. Remember most of the supplies are available at Scrap 'N Stamp and they are also linked below for you.


The solid foiled butterfly was created using the negative foiling technique and I saved the blue outline butterflies for another card.


After you slide off the belly band, you open the panel and the shutters slide open to reveal the sentiment. I have so much fun with this die set!


Here are the butterflies again, this time foiled using a mini rainbow foil and these ones are the outline butterflies. I saved the reverse foiled ones for another project.


The sentiment and signing block was added to the back side - I love the size of the sentiments in the stamp set, and the great mix of fonts.


The next card is 4.25" square and fits in a standard A2 envelope for mailing. I stamped another sentiment from the stamp set onto vellum, but when the ink was fully dry I thought it was dried back too light. So I traced the letters with a brown fine point marker and liked it much better.


Here is a peek at the inside ...


Finally, a Mini Slimline card - the papers are perfect for quick and easy cards. I added lots of shimmer to the panel with Wink of Stella, gold confetti and outlined the panel with a gold gel pen.


I tried to capture the shimmer, but it is hard on screen. It shows up in real life though!


Here is the inside of the Mini Slimline ...
