Splendid Thoughts
It’s Saturday so it must be time for another FAB Stampers share! This week its Leonie’s turn and she has used the lovely Splendid Thoughts Bundle.
For this week’s project I really wanted to use something from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. While contemplating all the items you can earn for free I opted for the gorgeous Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes.
These Cards & Envelopes are really lovely … you’ll get 10 cards in Pool Party and 10 in Soft Sea Foam and 20 lined envelopes. The best part about this pack is they are free with a qualifying order! They have a faint design on the card front which matches the Splendid Thoughts Bundle perfectly.
The Projects …
I didn’t want to make the cards too busy so opted for a simple design on top. I’ve used a couple of different rectangle dies to cut my Basic White. One from the Deckled Rectangles Die set and the other is from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
After cutting out my rectangle I placed one of the Leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss with the rectangle pieces. To keep my leaf in the frame I flipped it over and placed mini dimensionals over the edges to keep them together and just popped out the centre of the leaves for the card pattern to show through.
For my Soft Sea Foam card I cut another leaf in the Soft Sea Foam and popped that inside the frame for a more defined look.
Which frame do you like better?
The sentiments were stamped in versamark then I white embossed them and cut them out with the Stylish Shapes dies. As the one of Soft Sea foam was a little hard to see I used my blending brushes and Soft Sea Foam Ink to make it pop.
To finish off my cards I added a Silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and added some of the gorgeous Festive Pearls for a little bling.
