Today I’m sharing a birthday card that says farewell to the RETIRING Brushed Blooms Stamp Set & coordinating dies from the Stampin’ Up! January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. The Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies are currently marked down 50% and available through June 30 or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
To see the rest of the retiring items (including select 50% off items), take a look at my blog post here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic White card stock.
Adhere a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (also retiring June 30) to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock with the Beautiful Brushstroke Die. Line up the die at the bottom of the card stock and zip it through again to crop a 6th brushstroke, making it even.
Run it through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine again, but this time tucked inside the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
LOVE THIS! Dry embossing not only adds fabulous texture but also masks die lines that sometimes transfer to the card stock.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment, flowers, and leaves (Brushed Blooms Stamp Set) in Highland Heather (flowers) and Pear Pizzazz (sentiment & leaves) Classic Inks onto a piece of Basic White card stock.
Crop the flowers and leaves with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the coordinating Beautiful Brushstroke Dies.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Trim the sentiment closely with a Paper Trimmer or Paper Snips. Final size approximately 3/8 x 1 3/4.
Adhere with snipped-to-size Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a bow of white Baker’s Twine (Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack). Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot tucked under the sentiment as shown.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
