Stampin' Up! Botanical Floral Flamingo Card

Today's project is absolutely gorgeous and makes me wish I was at the beach! I combined the Pop of Paradise stamp set with Botanical Blooms and what a gorgeous duo they make! The inspiration for this card began with my team color challenge this week:

Flirty Flamingo

Peekaboo Peach

Crumb Cake

Gold Foil

These colors are amazing together!! I'll definitely be putting them to goo use on more projects in the future. Watch the video tutorial below for step-by-step instructions on making this card.  Botanical Flamingo Card Order 24/7 HERE

Stampin' Up! Flamingo Thank You Card

Happy Wednesday!
I love the color palette of today's project! I used smoky slate, dapper denim (NEW In-Color), and pool party. These colors were inspired by a color challenge on my team's Stampin' Up! board. I'm lovin' the new Pop of Paradise stamp set! I keep coming up with reasons to use this set...maybe it's the tropical feel...makes me wish I was at the beach!

Stampin' Up! Special Day Flamingo Card

Happy Tuesday!

I shared this beautiful card on my Facebook page last week. It was such a hit, I decided to create a post on how it was created. 

Project Supplies

Steps to Create

1. Cut the whisper white card base at 4.25" by 11" and score at 5.5".

2. Stamp the flamingo on whisper white card stock using Flirty Flamingo ink and the Pop of Paradise stamp set. 

3. Cut out the flamingo image using the Lots of Labels Framelits. Using basic black card stock cut a slightly larger label. Adhere the flamingo label to the basic black label. 

4. Cut a 1.25" by 4" strip of vellum. Stamp the "A Very Special Day" sentiment in basic black. Use your heat tool to dry the ink. 

5. Cut a 3" by 5" black/white striped piece of background paper. Wrap/adhere the vellum strip to the striped piece. Adhere the background paper to the left of the card base.

6. Adhere the layered flamingo image to the card. 

7. Use the big shot and the Botanical Builders Framelits to cut 2 basic black flowers, 1 melon mambo flower, and 2 emerald envy leaves. Stamp the emerald envy leaves using the Botanical Blooms stamp set. Adhere the flowers and leaves above the flamingo image. 

9. Add some bling to the card using the Jewel Basic Rhinestones. 

10. Finish up this project by decorating your envelope using the Botanical Blooms stamp set.
