Stampin' Up Expressions In Ink Hello Idea

Stampin’ Up Expressions In Ink Hello Idea

Happy Monday Everyone – I am still playing with pattern paper that is retiring and created the Stampin’ Up Expressions In Ink Hello Idea card for today.

I love that I can use pattern paper from 1 collection to create a great card. The Expressions in Ink is one of my favorite with the watercolor look and bright colors. The touch of gold just adds that bit of interest to make the paper grab your attention. Look at how I combined 3 patterns on this card.

Check out how these pattern papers all coordinate and create the Stampin' Up Expressions In Ink Hello card. Don't miss the details for this layout.

Pale Papaya

Basic White

Pear Pizzazz

This beautiful paper will retire at the end of the month. Make sure you order yours so you can use it for bright Summer cards.

I used the set from the suite to create the sentiment layer. The Brass Butterflies are the perfect embellishment for this card.

I also used the flower to decorate the inside of the card and envelope.

This flower and leaf are part of the suite used to create the Stampin' Up Expressions In Ink Hello card. Don't miss the details for this creation that you can find on my blog.

The watercolor patterns in this paper are gorgeous and fun to play with. Here is an idea for a Christmas card using one of the other watercolor patterns. I think this one with the bright bold colors is one of my favorite I have created with this paper.

This layout looks complicated but it really isn’t. Here are the details for you.

Let’s make the Stampin’ Up Expressions in Ink Hello Idea card

affix all stamps to blocks
fold and burnish the card base
add the green watercolor Expressions in Ink pattern paper to the bottom of the White panel – no white should show on the sides and bottom
glue the gold striped pattern paper to the Pear Pizzazz strip then add it to the White panel so it just covers the top of the green watercolor pattern paper
attach the Pale Papaya pattern paper to the Pale Papaya card stock then add it to the left side of the White panel about 1/2″ from the left side and centered top to bottom
add the White panel to the card base
stamp the scrap of White with the smaller flower using a second generation stamping of Pale Papaya
use Pear Pizzazz ink to stamp the sentiment on top of the middle of the flower stamped from step above
die cut the 2″ scallop circle from the Layering Circles dies from Pear Pizzazz scrap
use a smaller plain circle to die cut the stamped image
layer the 2 circles then add it to the right side of the card using dimensionals so the bottom of the scallop circle is even with the bottom of the gold striped layer and about 1/2″ from the right side of the card
sprinkle on some Brass Butterflies
