Hi there! I’m popping in late today to share a fun card I created this weekend with Spellbinders dies and embossing folder plus Pretty Pink Posh stamps and stencil! I really had a blast creating this card and I think it’s good to share what really happened behind the scenes…
First, here’s my completed project. Completely different than my original vision. First, I stamped and colored my images from Pretty Pink Posh Fresh Berries. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I pulled out an envelope die because my berries were going to spill out of it. This 100% did not work! I was super frustrated and tried really hard to force it.
After walking away, I came back and started playing with the images in different arrangements. With a fresh mind and a blank slate, erasing all preexisting hopes for my envelope idea, I came up with the final arrangement you see.
I used the Spellbinders Tiny Dots embossing folder on a 4×5.25 inch white panel and popped it up with foam tape. Then I cut two Spellbinders Four Petal Labels from two different blue cardstocks. I used the Pretty Pink Posh Starburst stencil on the light blue with Lawn Fawn Blue Jay ink. After gluing the labels together I splattered them with water and then white paint for texture.
Using the images as a guide I stamped the first half of my sentiment in Blue Jay ink and then popped the berries and second part of the sentiment up with foam squares. I came in with a little Touch of Gloss on the flower centers and left it at that.
This card was a bit of a journey but I’m so happy with it and thing it’s so adorable!
So, reminder…don’t give up. Sometimes you have to walk away and try again later. Whether it’s a different idea or a new take on the same one, something wonderful will work out!
