Into the Blooms: Iris + Larger Than Life: Hello

     88 Comments

Next up on Day 2 of our June Countdown, we’re spoiling you with our gorgeous, new Into the Blooms:  Iris dies.  Iris are the perfect summertime bloom and come in the most beautiful assortment of colors.  You’ll adore all of the samples of the Design Team.  Their designs are sure to inspire you to create your own.

Our designer JJ has created the loveliest slimline card using our Into the Blooms:  Iris dies.  Use these dies with or without their long stems and leaves and they can’t help but look stunning.  JJ has sponged ink over her dies to add color.  She’s then added some water droplets and paint splatters in white to created beautiful accents.

She’s sponged ink over her slimline card base to create the look and feel of a blue sky that pairs so perfectly with her blooms in the foreground.  Aren’t these dark purple iris stunning against the stark white and soft aqua background?  What color will you choose for your iris?

Our Cornered:  Lace dies look so elegant decorating each corner.  Imagine all of the different decorative corners you could use with these iris…Doily, Baroque, Spring Flowers, Wispy Tree, and Leaves would all look so lovely!  Don’t you love the white glitter background that shows from beneath her corners?  Such a sweet and unexpected accent.  JJ’s sentiment is from our new Larger Than Life:  Hello Sentiments stamp set.  You’ll be learning all about it next!

Supplies Used:

STAMPS: Larger Than Life: Hello stamps

INK: Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf, Enchanted Evening, Amethyst Allure, Winter Wisteria

PAPER: Rustic White, Glitter Paper

DIES: Into the Blooms: Iris, Cornered: Lace

OTHER: White Mist Spray

 

Our Larger Than Life:  Hello die and Hello Sentiments stamp set are up next on day 2 of our June Countdown.  These are perfectly basic enough to be used year-round and for all different occasions.  Sometimes just a simple “Hello” is all you want to send and this sweet duo of products has got you covered.

This card created by our designer Bobbi is a mini masterpiece that I couldn’t wait to share with you.  It reminds me of a soft painting you’d find in a fine art gallery.  I love how Bobbi used elements from our Tuck It:  Travel to created her background.  Her blue sky with wispy clouds are so soft and look effortless and I love her palm trees peeking out from the sides.

Bobbi’s used the hat, sunglasses, seashells, and book from our Go-To Gift Card Holder:  Beach Bag dies to create her accents, adding hand painted elements to achieve her look and feel. So stunning!

Across the bottom of her card, Bobbi has used the new Larger Than Life:  Hello die and Larger Than Life:  Hello Sentiments stamp set.  You’ll find so many different sentiment possibilities in this set.  Choose from a variety such as the one used on this card and others like “Hello Beautiful”, “Hello From Someone Who Misses You”, “A Loving Hello”, “Sending You a Warm and Happy Hello”, etc.

Supplies Used:

STAMPS:  Larger Than Life:  Hello Sentiments, Tuck It:  Travel

INK: Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, True Black, Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Fine Linen, Classic Kraft, Bright Buttercup

PAPER: Stamper’s Select White

TIPS:

  • Break up the sentiments into small “blocks” for a different look.
  • Add a variety of textures with hot foiling, twine, dry embossing, etc.
  • Color blend the florals for depth and a more realistic look.

TIPS:
