Tag: delicate dahlias

I can’t believe that it’s time to say goodbye already. Where have the past 2 months gone?! I’m just loving the Delicate Dahlias stamp set from this round of Sale-a-bration! I feel like I’m just starting to get into a creative groove with this stamp set and now it’s “retiring”. And so I have to share one more time before Sale-a-bration is over tomorrow.

This time around I switched up the colour combination and layered both the outline and solid stamps. You can check out my card using Delicate Dahlias that I posted last week right here. This isn’t a fall themed card, so I stuck with green as one of my colours. But instead of Granny Apple Green like in my last card, I used Just Jade. For the blooms I used Petal Pink. These pair together really well I think.

For the background I wanted to use an embossing folder. This way the images could really stand out and at the same have there be something behind them. I like the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder because it’s not too busy, but you still notice what it does to the cardstock.

To stamp the images I started with the outline and then “filled it in” with the other stamp. The blooms are Petal Pink and for the leaves I stamped the outline in full strength Just Jade but then stamped off the solid image before stamping on the cardstock. I think this way helps show the detail of the leaves a bit better.

Once I finished with that I wrapped the stamped and embossed cardstock with some ribbon. This is the Just Jade Gingham ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack. It adds a nice touch and gives you something else to look at. The phrase I cut out and framed using the Layering Circles dies and then popped up with dimensionals. And of course I had to add some bling. So I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card.

I’m really thinking I’m going to have to hold on to this stamp set even though Sale-a-bration ends tomorrow. This is a great stamp set for a number of different occassions.

There’s less than a week left in round two of Sale-a-bration 2021! Have you taken advantage yet?! With a little bit of time left I thought I’d share a couple more projects to show off these great products that you can earn for free until September 30th. I recently got my hands on the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. This stamp set is one that you can get for free with an order of $120. I’ve seen lots of great projects with this stamp set. So I’m excited to share my first card using it with you.

For this card I really wanted to show off the blooms. So I decided to create a background for my design with a few panels on top. With the sketch in my head I needed to pick a colour combination. Of course I needed some green for the leaves. And I love pairing greens and purples together. So I went with Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green. For the background I used the more solid stamps. And I really like how you still get different shades in the blooms and leaves.

For the panels I used the outline stamps. I think leaving them as outlines is a nice contrast to the background. Then I popped them up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. On top of the panels I have one of the phrases from the stamp set which I cut out using the smallest Stitched Rectangles die. And to finish it off I added just a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I’m a little sad that I didn’t get the Delicate Dahlias stamp set sooner. But I’ll enjoy crafting with it while I can… or maybe this’ll be one stamp set that I hold on to. You can check out another project I did using one of the other free Sale-a-braton stamp sets; Textures & Frames. And make sure you don’t miss out on this round of Sale-a-bration!
