Welcome to Simply Stampin’ Sunday – my (almost) weekly post of  Clean And Simple projects that can be made in minutes using Stampin’ Up! products.  Sorry I’ve missed a few Sundays – busy time of year for me!  This week’s project showcases the Healing Hugs stamp set and Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.

I  am playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches #350 sketch challenge this week:

The photographic floral design of this sheet of Designer Series Paper has deep, rich colors and is one of my favorites in the collection.  I paired it with Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow card stock and ink.

Use sponge daubers to apply ink to the floral image in this disINKtive style stamp from the Healing Hugs stamp set.  First color the full image with Blushing Bride ink, then selectively add some Rich Razzleberry ink for additional shading and depth.

Fussy-cut the stamped floral image and the leaves.  The flower is adhered to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves are gently shaped using your fingers and adhered with Glue applied only under the stem end.  This adds dimension and interest.

Add a strip of the Designer Series Paper to a panel of Whisper White card stock and adhere the panel to the card interior.  Ready for your hand-written note.

Here are the Simple Steps to make this project:

1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ panel of Mossy Meadow card stock, score at 5-1/2″ and fold for the card base.
2. Adhere a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
3. Cut a 3/4″ x 4″ strip of Rich Razzleberry card stock and adhere to the card front with Liquid Glue.
4. Wrap a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the card front.  Secure the ends to the Rich Razzleberry strip with tape, making sure it will be hidden under the floral image.
5. Use a sponge dauber to apply Blushing Bride ink to the entire floral image from the Healing Hugs stamp set.
6. Use another sponge dauber to selectively add Rich Razzleberry ink in a a few areas.  Use your breath to add moisture to the inked stamp and stamp on a panel of Whisper White card stock.
7. Stamp the image of the leaves three times on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Mossy Meadow ink.
8. Fussy-cut the leaves and flower.
9. Stamp the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and cut out with the Classic Label Punch.
10. Adhere the leaves to the card front with Liquid Glue and use Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment banner and floral image.
11. Adhere a 1/2″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Designer Series Paper to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Whisper White card stock and adhere the completed panel to the inside of the card with Glue.
12. Done!
