It’s an exciting week with a new Essentials by Ellen Release available this Friday, March 4th! Today is Day 4 of Reveal Week and we’re sneak peeking three new sets – Casual Greetings Stamp Set, Painted Florals and Casual Taglines. I’m so in love with today’s products, especially the Painted Florals, which is a must-have set. Combine these flowers with both of today’s sentiment sets and you have everything you need to make an endless number of cards!
My first card features the Painted Florals with a birthday sentiment from the Casual Greetings Stamp Set. I love that there’s a stamp version of the Casual Greetings Hot Foil Stamp featured on Day 2! This makes it easy if you don’t own a hot foil machine or if you prefer stamping. I like that there are plenty of options for different looks.
My second card features two sentiments from the Casual Taglines Stamp Set, which coordinates with the previously-released Nice of You Die. These sentiments are sure to get a laugh from the recipient and can either be used on their own, as you see here, or paired with the Casual Greetings Stamp Set.
I created my card base and a 4″ x 5.25″ panel from white linen cardstock, then I die cut two pieces of the Berry Basket Die from Pale Rose cardstock. After determining the position of the heat embossed sentiments, I glued the baskets to the card and trimmed off the excess. Next, I popped on the sentiment strips with foam tape.
The flowers were stamped with Black Jack ink and the centres were heat embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder. I added texture to the top layer of the vellum leaves with the A2 Piercing Plate 2 and I just love that added detail!
Ellen Hutson is running a gift with purchase March 1st through 7th. You will get the Lucky stamp set free with any purchase of $75 or more! This means you can qualify for this free set when the new release goes live, while supplies last. It’s a fun and fabulous freebie so get it while you can!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll see you again tomorrow for Release Day and the Instagram Hop!
