How did I make this awesome sunflower?
August 09, 2016
As August slugs along sunflowers come to mind--I think it's the deep rich yellow color I associate with the end of summer. Look at this terrific sunflower card--do you know how I created this sunflower?
If you've been following my blog you probably recognize some of the parts, right? It's from the Stampin'Up! Thoughtful Branches Bundle! This little pretty went together rather quickly using one of the stamps and 2 of the dies. I'm going to give you the directions and then I'll provide the supply list so you can create this one too!
If you haven't already purchased the Thoughtful Branches Bundle, you'll want to order it really soon so you don't miss it. It's available during August and August is marching on quickly. (Note: Stampin'Up! may offer this product later but they have not committed to it yet--so why wait and miss out, rght?) Here's the brochure so you can see the entire bundle Download Thoughtfulbranches_flyer_jul0516_us
Here we go:
1. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score the long side at 4 1/4 (this is your card base)
2. Cut Soft Suede cardstock at 4 x 5 1/4; adhere to card front using multipurpose liquid glue.
3. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 3 7/8 X 5 1/8, run through the Big Shot using the Boho Chic embossing folder; adhere over the soft suede layer using liquid glue.
4. Using 1 1/2 circle punch, punch circle from Early Expresson cardstock; run through Big Shot using Softly Falling folder.
5. On Daffodil Delight cardstock stamp the small leave (make 9) in Crushed Curry Classic Ink, cut out with framelit. Adhere in an even circle to the back of the circle using glue dots.
6. Cut leaves/stem unit with die from Garden Green cardstock--adhere to card front with liquid glue. Adhere flower over top of the stem using dimensionals.
7. Stamp "Get Well Wises" (Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set) in Archival Black ink (#140931) on a scrap of Very Vanilla. Punch out using the Classic Label punch. Adhere over the stem using dimensionals--I used the edge around the dimensionals so I don't have to cut them down.
