The Stamp Review Crew: Petite Petals

Hello everyone! It's time for another great blog hop from The Stamp Review Crew! This time around we are featuring projects that use the Petite Petals stamp set! I am your stop after the fabulous Yapha Mason!

I went very clean and simple! I did use a few new products with this card!

• Card base is Whisper White
• Tie a piece of Smoky Slate thick baker's twine around a Whisper White panel and then adhere the panel to the card base using dimensionals
• Stamp the flower from Petite Petals three times onto Whisper White using Pool Party, Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay inks then punch out using the coordinating Petite Petals punch
• Punch a scallop circle from vellum using the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and adhere the flowers to the edges using glue dots
• Punch a circle from Smoky Slate using the 2" circle punch and adhere to the back of the vellum scallop circle putting the adhesive only where the flowers will cover it up
• Stamp the greeting from Cottage Greetings onto the vellum using black StazOn ink and adhere the element to the card with dimensionals
• Add rhinestones to flower centers

Now it's time to send you on to the talented Bronwyn Eastley! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

A Petite Hello

Good morning, Friends! My sinuses are feeling it this morning from all the dust and pollen blowing around. Ugh! I hope that I can nip that because I am going to enjoy a full day of sewing! I have a project that I am working on and with today and tomorrow being my sewing days, I should be able to get it done! I'm so excited about this project! I was able to get some stamping done yesterday but I couldn't get my pictures to come out. I'm hoping to get that remedied this morning before I go.

Today's card was the last of the cards that we did in club this month. I took several ideas that I had seen and combined them and added a little of my own to get to this! I love Crumb Cake!!

• Card base is Crumb Cake
• On a piece of Crumb Cake, stamp the lines images from Gorgeous Grunge in Crumb Cake ink and the splotches with Whisper White craft ink
• Adhere panel to a piece of Whisper White and then adhere to card base
• Make a tag from a piece of Crumb Cake
• Stamp the Hardwood background stamp onto tag with Crumb Cake ink and sponge edges with Crumb Cake
• Thread a piece of Natural 5/8" Chevron ribbon through the hole and tie in place with a piece of white baker's twine
• Adhere tag to card with dimensionals
• On a piece of Crumb Cake, stamp the flower image from Petite Petals three times using VersaMark ink and then emboss with white emboss powder
• Punch flowers out with the Petite Petals punch
• Add mini brads to flower centers
• Stamp the greeting from Perfect Pennants in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White and cut out then adhere to tag
• Arrange flowers around greeting and adhere with dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
