Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Sprigs & Twigs!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  Sprigs & Twigs is our theme this week and I used the sprigs from our Lily Of The Valley Bundle sitting in front of a homemade fence:

It was easy to create my fence using the Three Banner Punch and I’ll explain how below. The lily sprigs were cut with the die and Fresh Freesia Cardstock. I cut 2 with the die and placed them in front of the fence:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Lily Of The Valley
• Inks: Pecan Pie
• Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Freesia, Golden Glow
• Designer Paper: Valley In Bloom
• Tools & Accessories: Lily Of The Valley, Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder, Three Banner Punch, Perennial Postage Dies, Iridescent Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Pecan Pie Cardstock 11 x 4-1/4. Score and fold at 5-1/2.
• Layer 2: Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock 5-1/4 x 4. Emboss with the Floral Spray Embossing Folder. Glue to card base.
• Layer 3: Valley In Bloom Designer Paper cut with the 4-1/2 x 3-1/4 die from the Perennial Postage Dies. Glue 1/2″ from the right edge.
• Fence: Follow these steps:
  • Pecan Pie Cardstock 2-7/8 x 1/2. Cut 2 and set aside.
  • Pecan Pie Cardstock 3-3/4 x 1/2. Cut 4. Slide one end into the back of the Three Banners Punch as shown below and cut one end.

• Create the fence by position all four banner cut pieces with the banner end at the top and about 1/4″ spacing between each one. Glue the 2 shorter sections 1/2″ from the top and 1/4″ from the bottom. Glue fence to card front over the designer paper with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Leaves: Cut 2 leaves with the die and Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. Glue to the right side of the fence flat.
• Flowers: Use the lily sprig die to cut 2 with Fresh Freesia Cardstock. Glue to the left of the leaves over the fence flat.
• Sentiment: Stamp the sentiment on Golden Glow Cardstock 1-3/4 x 1/2 with Pecan Pie Ink. Glue over the leaves and flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Bling: Add Iridescent Pearls to the fence, 2 on each end of the shorter sections to resemble nails.
