Winter Botanicals II: One Stamp, Three Ways with Designer Emily!
Hello Friends! I’m Emily M. @popsofpaper and I’m so excited you are here for this week’s 1 Stamp 3 Ways. I’m at it again with the Winter Botanicals Stamps and Dies. I love, love, love this set! Last week I used the set to create Autumnal Botanical Cards; you can see that post here. This week I’m using the same set with a Winter Holiday Theme. Every time I use this set (which is ALL THE TIME) I’m amazed at its versatility.
Supplies & Color Recipe
Like last week, I’ve included the color recipe that I used for the trio of cards. I find that when I create a collection of cards, tags, pages, etc. it helps to have a common color recipe to follow. I just love the combination of Aqua, Red and Lime Green; it reminds me of all the different poinsettia plants you see in the winter garden centers this time of year.
- Copic Colors: C0, C1, BG32, BG18
- Prismacolors: Crimson Lake & Crimson Red
- Inks: VersaMark, VersaFine Clair in Warm Breeze, Verdant & Nocturne,
- Embossing Tools: WOW Embossing Powder: Clear and Bright White Super Fine
- The Stamps & Dies: Winter Botanicals Stamps & Matching Dies, Joyeux Noel
- Sequins & Sparkles: Blizzard Shaker Embellishment Mix, Glistening Snow Confetti Mix, Lucky Clover Confetti Mix & Caribbean Ocean Confetti Mix
- Extra Pop: Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard & Aquatic Mist
- The Color Recipe:
Joyeux Noel
This card came together by stamping the branch images in Warm Breeze VersaFile Clair Ink and then embossing the ink with WOW Clear Embossing Powder. I used a small flower center image to create white snowflakes using VersaMark and WOW Superfine White Embossing powder. For extra pop, I added some Glistening Snow Confetti and Nuvo Glitter Drops. The sentiment is from the Joyeux Noel Stamp set.
Snowflake Poinsettias
I’m bringing back the brads for a quick interactive card. To pull this card together:
- Stamp all of the images with VersaMark and embossed with WOW Superfine White Embossing Powder.
- Emboss and die cut the second layer of the poinsettias and attach to the larger poinsettia image with a small white brad…this is so much fun because you can spin the poinsettia.
- To the smaller images on the card, add a sparkling sequin for the flower center.
- Die cut JOY from your letter dies in your stash. Adhere to card with liquid adhesive.
- Add sequins and Nuvo Glitter drops in the little spaces between the poinsettias for some pop and dimension. Adhere the card panel to a card base with foam tape.
Joy Botanical Wreath
I love cards that use images in place of a letter. It’s such a playful way to stretch your stamp images. I thought the poinsettia made the perfect letter O for JOY. To create this card:
- Trace a 2.25 inch circle to the center of your card panel with light pencil.
- Stamp the bough image several times following the light pencils marks. Stamp around the circle image you just created a second time for a nice full wreath. Erase your pencil markings.
- Add sequins around the wreath for some bling and then Nuvo Glitter drops for some extra glitter and pop.
- Die cut a J and Y from your favorite letter dies that you have in your stash. If you don’t have letter dies, I used my favorite set from Essentials by Ellen Classic Block Alpha Dies.
- Stamp, color and die cut the poinsettia image. Adhere the poinsettia to the center of the wreath with foam tape. Adhere the J and Y next to the poinsettia to spell Joy. To adhere the letter die cuts, I used thin strips of foam tape.
- Then add some your favorite washi tape to the bottom of the card panel. Adhere card panel to card base with more foam tape.
