Happy Sunday!
Today I’m sharing some simple and stepped up cards created with the Wisteria Wishes bundle by Stampin’ Up! As soon as I saw this stamp set and dies in the new annual cataloguewere they were on my wish list because them brought back some lovely memories of home. My parents had an amazing wisteria plant that produced an abundence of these wonderful blooms in their garden and it just got better year after year.
For my first card, I decided to keep it simple using a Highland Heather base with some tone on tone stamping at the top. Next, I stamped the branch and flowers from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set on a piece of Basic White in Pear Pizzazz, Highland Heather and Orchid Oasis. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis on a piece of Pear Pizzazz.
For the stepped up version below, which you can watch me make here or in the video later in this post, the flowers and branch are die cut. Tone on tone stamping on the base is at the top and bottom, which is a great way of making a background. Adding torn pieces of Highland Heather to the top and bottom edges of the white panel give a different look. This panel was added to the base with dimensionals. This time the sentiment panel was added with dimensionals over a piece of glittered ribbon. To add another bit of sparkle I added a few iridescent rhinestones.
I wanted to use the stems, so below you can see another #simplestamping card and the flowers look like Heather or Delphinimum, in my humble opinion. Again I added torn card to the top and bottom edges of the Basic White panel – the idea is CASED from a card in the annual catalogue. Our catalogues are not only full of wonderful high quality products, they are packed full of cards and projects to copy or use as inspiration for our own projects. The sentiment was stamped twice; once in Highland Heather and a second time in Orchid Oasis so two words could be trimmed and added to the original with dimensionals.
