Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop

I made several examples of the side easel card for this blog hop.

MEASUREMENTS:

Cut 1 piece of cardstock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  I used the Fresh Freesia cardstock.  One of the new colours from the In-Color 2021-2023.

Cut 1 piece of of (DSP) Designer Series Paper 4" X 3 1/4"; I used the gingham from the Pansy Patch.

Cut 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 2", 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 1", 1 piece of DSP 1 3/4" X 3/4".  I used the Hand-Penned DSP.

Cut 1 piece of white cardstock 4" X 3 1/4".

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Score the cardstock on the long side at 8 1/2".  Add four more score lines at 6 3/8", 3 1/8", 3" and 1" but only extend these score lines out to 2" from the long edge.

• Fold the cardstock on the 4 1/4" score line.  Fold on the other score lines.

• To make the sentiment and decorate the front of the card, I embossed a piece of white cardstock 4" X 2".  I then used a Blender brush and Soft Succulent ink to colour this piece of cardstock.  On this, I mounted another piece of white cardstock cut out with a die from the Colour and Contour dies set.  I then mounted greenery from the Quiet Meadow dies and Hand-Penned Bundle
• Here are two more examples of cards I made following this design.

Simply Succulents and Potted Succulents Dies

These were fun cards to make!!  I used the Simply Succulents Bundle (Simply Succulents Stamp Set and Potted Dies) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue to create these cards.  

To create these card fronts, I taped the large die onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White Card Stock on to my Stampin'Up grid paper using painters tape.  Then I used the new Stampin'Up Blender brushes and gradually blended a combination of the four ink colours - Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaroon, Costal Cabana and Bermuda Bay - onto the card stock. 

 

I created the second and third card fronts at one time.  I first cut the large die shape out of Basic White Cardstock and taped the cut out shape (using painters tape again) onto a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Basic White. Again I used the Blender Brushes to gradually colour the die cut shape.  I then removed the die cut shape and used the white cardstock below to create the front of a card.  I also adhered the cut out shape to a piece of white cardstock I had also coloured using the blender brushes. 

I then created labels, and added ribbons and embellishments to decorate the front of each card.
