Summer is the perfect time to celebrate sunflowers, indeed! Sunflowers have been a frequent theme of Stampin'Up! products but never on this scale and this intricacy! You can stamp them or die cut them or both! There are big perimeter dies to cut the sunflowers you have stamped and colored and there are detailed dies to cut on paper and assemble a sunflower. Curious? Check these out below:
Here you will see the sunflower dies! There is a background large die that cuts the main flower and leaf color of cardstock, then a detailed outline die that adds all the detail. I used So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizazz and Old Olive for this card. The sentiment is also from the "Celebrate Sunflowers" stamp set and I used one of the wood themed papers from the "In Good Taste" Designer Series Paper.
For my second card, I used the stamps and colored my sunflowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. They are my favorite coloring tool and they now come in almost all of our colors. I added some leafy/weed branches which were cut from gold foil and Soft Suede paper using dies in this bundle. Curious about the background? I used some So Saffron vellum and embossed it using the "Old World Paper" 3D embossing folder. It's so fun to combine different products you have in your stash and get so many different looks.
I've listed the details for this bundle and these cards in my supply list below. You can click on it to get to the online store and easily purchase this bundle or any of the products there. I'm so grateful we have the online store option, especially if you live in a more rural area and shopping in person is just not an option and face it, you will never see the quality or variety of SU products in any local store! I hope you'll take a look and see if you're inspired for your next idea!
We have a great weekend ahead of us weather wise so I'm looking forward to that. Summer is very short in Montana so we have to cram a lot in and make the most of it! I have a couple of classes this week as well, if you want to check out my schedule. Click on the SU website link to the right ==>>> and scroll down to the calendar for all the details. I'd love to see you in person!
Keep Stampin'!
