I love geraniums! I always planted them in clay pots and had them lining my porch steps when I lived in NY. My favorite are the red ones.
I got the idea for this card from the sample in the catalog. I changed it up a bit but love the basic layout.
The Potted Geraniums Stamp Set has such beautiful images and sentiments. You can create pretty flowers and leaves in two shades; there are outline and filler stamps that work together and it’s so easy to do because they are photopolymer.
I used Real Red and Mossy Meadow and stamping off first with the filler stamp to get the lighter shade. The dies cut out the stamped images and there’s a great label die.
You can save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle. The dies are compatible Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Tips & Instructions
Pool Party Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Cardstock - 5 x 3 3/4, lightly blend Pool Party Ink using a Blending Brush. Using a Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker flick some ink around the layer. Adhere to card base.
Basic White Cardstock - 5 x 3/4, cut using the Split Card Textures Dies. Snip to cut it away from the solid half of the layer and cut it down a little bit and adhere over blended layer.
On Basic White Cardstock:
Stamp pot with Soft Suede Ink (stamping off first), soil with Soft Suede Ink, stake with Soft Suede Ink and sentiment with Real Red Ink.
Stamp 2 sets flowers with Real Red Ink, stamping the outline direct and then the filler after stamping off first.
Stamp leaves with Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping the outline direct and then the filler after stamping off first.
Cut images with the coordinating Geranium Dies.
Adhere pieces to pot and then to the card.
Add some Brushed Brass Butterflies.
The Split Card Textures Dies are so cool. It cuts out a pattern on half a card layer. I just snipped the edges to separate it to adhere it to the white layer.
On the inside layer stamp sentiment with Real Red Ink. Stamp the flower and leaves the same way you stamped them on the front.
