Welcome to Makeover Monday!! I am thrilled to share with you my Makeover Monday project. I used the Cottage Rose stamp set and stepped up yesterday's, Simple Sunday's card.

Next, I changed the color of the tag to Pear Pizzazz, wrapped the ribbon around the entire panel and added some embellishments. The inside is stepped up as well. Which card

Hello my crafting friends, Today I am excited to share with you my June 2022 Artisan Design Team Project.

These products are in 2022-2023 Annual Catalog & Online. To purchase any of these products, please visit my online store. The link is below in the description.

Stamp your flower image two times on Masking Paper. Cut out the petal layers as well as the outside edge. For the large flower I created a mask for the center, the first layer of petals, the whole flower, the leaves, and the outside edge. 2- Stamp your image in Memento Black in on Basic White Cardstock. Cover the outside edge of the flower and the flower. The leaves should be open. Use either green color, I used Soft Succulent and add color to the leaves. Start with the darkest area and blend to a lighter color around the outside edges. 3- Remove the full flower mask and add the leaf mask. Add the mask for the top layer of petals so only the back petals are open. Add your petal color ink, I used Blushing Bride for the large flower. Start with the darker areas near the center area of each petal and lighten it as it moves to the outside edge of each flower. 4- Remove the top layer of petals and add the mask for the bottom layer of petals are covered. Add the center mask as well. Color in the top layer of petals using the same technique as the bottom layer with Blushing Bride. 5- Add the top layer of petals back over. The center of the flower should be open. Add Crushed Curry in the center. If you need to blend a little with the masks off you can do that too. 6- Carefully remove all masks to reveal your beautiful flower! TIP: You can save your masks to use with future projects. Just add them to your stamp case. Repeat these steps for all the flowers you want to use. Large Flower & Leaf – Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Soft Succulent Medium Flower – Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry | Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry Small Flowers – So Saffron, Crushed Curry Leaves – Soft Succulent, Old Olive Card #1: 1- Add a soft pattern from the Abigail Rose DSP to the front of your cardbase. 2- Cut the Large Group of Flowers & Leaves from Smoky Slate Cardstock. Cut a detailed edge around the die cut with the Largest Deckled Rectangle Die. Emboss with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. Add this to your cardbase at a slight angle. 3- Layer one of the Rose Gold strips about 1 ¾” from the bottom of the cardbase. Take about 5” of ribbon and add tear and tape to the top edge. Remove the paper backing and fold the ribbon down so the top edge sits just above the bottom edge making a skinner ribbon. Add this below the Rose Gold strip. Trim the sides to match the card. 4- Add the largest flower to the left above the Rose Gold strip with dimensionals. 5- Add the other elements around the larger flower with dimensionals.. I place the Calypso Coral Medium flower on the right with one Old Olive Leaf between the two flowers. Add one small So Saffron flower to the left. 6- Stamp your greeting in Memento Black ink and trim it down to fit. Then add it under the flowers with dimensionals. All Done! Card #2: 1- Add the DSP to the front of the cardbase. 2- Lay the three ¾” Rose Gold Strips to the center. Start with the center strip in the center of the card. Then add the second strip on top with a small gap and then the third strip on the bottom with the same size gap. 3- Stamp your greeting Memento Black on Basic White Cardstock and cut out with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Choose one that fits your greeting. Add this to the center of the card with dimensionals. 4- Tuck four leaves around the greeting with dimensionals. I used two Soft Succulent and two Old Olive. 5- Add your choice of flowers on top of the leaves. I used the Medium Blushing Bride in the bottom right corner and two So Saffron Small Flowers in the top left corner. All Done! Here is also a fun treat bag you can make with the same coloring technique. I used Rose Gold Specialty Paper and cut a tag from the Tailor-Made Tags. Add the large flower and a greeting. I did add Smoky Slate Cardstock to the back of the front of the box so you don’t see through it.

Hi friends, Firstly I am just taking a break over the next 7-10 days but I will be back before the end of the month. On todays card the masking technique has been used when stamping the flowers and leaves from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040). I was trying to make a card with just stamping but couldn’t resist adding some extra elements. I used the medium size single flower and stamped this with Polished Pink ink (#155712). Then using masks I stamped the other 2 flowers. Then masking 2 of the flowers I stamped the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). “Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and also stamped with Polished Pink ink. I cut the scallops with a die from the Penned Flowers dies (#155557) using Polished Pink card (#155711). I cut the corner from the Basic White card front (#159228) and attached the scallops. This was then attached to the Vellum Layering Designs (157764), then attached to the Polished Pink card base. TIP: When attaching vellum I like to only tape where it can’t be seen, so I used tape under the white card. I also added a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) in the bottom left corner, then added an embellishment on top from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (#159185). To make a mask, I stamp the image on a piece of Post it Notes and cut out the image. Cut on the line rather than leaving a border so the next stamped image is close to the previous stamped image. Place the mask over the stamped image so the next image doesn’t overlap the first image. (There is now a Masking Paper (#155480) which you can use for masking. Just waiting for mine to arrive.) “Love what you do and share what you love.” lesleyjendra.stampinup.net [email protected]

Hello, Hello. It's time for a new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #628 |Colour Challenge. This weeks colour combo has been suggested by fellow JAI Design Team Member - Annie. This week we are using Petal Pink, Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss. This weeks colours make for a gorgeous colour combination and I don't think they necessarily scream flowers and florals but I was drawn to using the Stampin' Up! Abigail Rose Suite/Cottage Rose Stamp Set to use with this weeks colours. I've gone for a pretty Petal Pink card and then used the brighter and darker colours as accents to go with the Petal Pink card base. I"m loving the little touches of Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss. As they are strong, bold colours you really don't need a lot of it with the Petal Pink. I've kept the card CAS today and then accented and embellished it with Petal Pink ink splaters (using the Petal Pink Stampin' Write Marker), Basic Pearls, Abigail Rose DSP, Natural Finish Ribbon and Linen Thread. The Just Add Ink Design Team have lots of amazing creations for you and to show you their take on this weeks challenge colours. You'll be surprised at all the different projects we came up with. There is something for everyone. We hope that you'll join in this weeks challenge. I can't wait to see you join in and to see your take on the colour challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cut a detailed edge around the die cut with the Largest Deckled Rectangle Die. Emboss with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. Add this to your cardbase at a slight angle. 3- Layer one of the Rose Gold strips about 1 ¾” from the bottom of the cardbase. Take about 5” of ribbon and add tear and tape to the top edge. Remove the paper backing and fold the ribbon down so the top edge sits just above the bottom edge making a skinner ribbon. Add this below the Rose Gold strip. Trim the sides to match the card. 4- Add the largest flower to the left above the Rose Gold strip with dimensionals. 5- Add the other elements around the larger flower with dimensionals.. I place the Calypso Coral Medium flower on the right with one Old Olive Leaf between the two flowers. Add one small So Saffron flower to the left. 6- Stamp your greeting in Memento Black ink and trim it down to fit. Then add it under the flowers with dimensionals. All Done! Card #2: 1- Add the DSP to the front of the cardbase. 2- Lay the three ¾” Rose Gold Strips to the center. Start with the center strip in the center of the card. Then add the second strip on top with a small gap and then the third strip on the bottom with the same size gap. 3- Stamp your greeting Memento Black on Basic White Cardstock and cut out with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Choose one that fits your greeting. Add this to the center of the card with dimensionals. 4- Tuck four leaves around the greeting with dimensionals. I used two Soft Succulent and two Old Olive. 5- Add your choice of flowers on top of the leaves. I used the Medium Blushing Bride in the bottom right corner and two So Saffron Small Flowers in the top left corner. All Done! Here is also a fun treat bag you can make with the same coloring technique. I used Rose Gold Specialty Paper and cut a tag from the Tailor-Made Tags. Add the large flower and a greeting. I did add Smoky Slate Cardstock to the back of the front of the box so you don’t see through it.

Welcome to Makeover Monday!! I am thrilled to share with you my Makeover Monday project. I used the Cottage Rose stamp set and stepped up yesterday's, Simple Sunday's card. To appeal to the avid stamper, I made several changes to my Simple Sunday card. First, I colored the Designer Series Paper with Pool Party and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Markers. Next, I changed the color of the tag to Pear Pizzazz, wrapped the ribbon around the entire panel and added some embellishments. The inside is stepped up as well. Which card
