Instructions

  • Fold the card base along the score line. Cut a 5.25cm / 2 1/8″ strip from the right hand side of the card front. Stick the DSP pieces to the inside back panel and the front flap.
  • Stamp the tulips, 2 each of red, yellow and orange. Stamp 6 leaves. Using the punch, punch the shapes out.
  • Using watercolor pencils add some more colour and some shading and definition to the tulips and leaves.
  • Stick the tulips and leaves along the edge of the front panel. I stuck the top and bottom one down with liquid glue and added the others with dimensionals. Using liquid glue, tuck the leaves in between the flowers.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie on Basic White card and cut out the little phrases individually. Back onto some Pumpkin Pie card stock before adding to the card with dimensionals.
  • Add a double bow of white twine with a glue dot and finish with 3 faceted gems.
You can add more definition and shading to your stamped images using Stampin' Up's watercolor pencils

How can I Help?

It was lovely to be playing with spring images and bright colours. The wonderful Daffodil Delight DSP is from just one of the 5 packs you can receive as a free gift if you join the Stampin’ Up family before 28th February.

Don’t you think just surrounding yourself with bright colours lifts your mood – and we all need that.

Stay Safe and Stay Well
