Here is the card I used for a swap at the recent Portland, Maine regional. I did not put a saying on my swaps though. For those of you interested, here are the supplies and instructions.

Stamp Sets

  • Greenhouse Garden
  • Full of Life

Card Stock and Paper

  • Pumpkin Pie, 4 ¼ “x 11”
  • Confetti Cream, 4” x 5 1/4”

Ink

  • Crushed Curry
  • More Mustard
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Dusty Durango
  • Ruby Red
  • Rich Razzleberry

Accessories and Tools

  • Bone Folder
  • SNAIL Adhesive
  • Rose Pink Cosmo Fine Glitter
  • 2-way Glue Pen
  • Powder Pals® Tray

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fold the Pumpkin Pie card stock in half, using the bone folder to crease evenly.
  2. Stamp the large flower randomly on the Confetti Cream card stock using Crushed Curry. Tip: To ink thoroughly, rub firmly in the ink pad, then tap on the ink pad to remove streaks, then stamp onto the card stock. You may want to stamp it on your grid paper first to make sure that your image is stamping evenly. Stamp the centers of the large flowers with More Mustard.
  3. Stamp the medium, multi petal flower randomly on the Confetti Cream card stock using Pumpkin Pie. Stamp the centers of the medium multi petal flowers with Dusty Durango.
  4. Stamp the small, 5 petal flower randomly on the Confetti Cream card stock using Ruby Red. Stamp the centers of these flowers with Rich Razzleberry.
  5. Use the 2-way glue pen to trace the tips and a few lines of the Rich Razzleberry centers. Place the card in the Powder Pals® tray, cover with Pink Rose fine glitter, then pick up the card and tap firmly to remove excess glitter. Return excess glitter to the jar, using the Powder Pal Brush to brush the glitter out of the tray.
  6. Stamp saying of choice in upper right corner of Confetti Cream with Rich Razzleberry.
  7. Adhere the Confetti Cream card stock to the Pumpkin Pie card stock using SNAIL.
