Congratulations - Hand-Penned Petals - Use Your Stash March 2025

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop. I am joined by an amazing lineup of crafters so make sure you go to my Instagram page HERE to see the rest of the team's creations. 

The aim of the hop is to use up some of the huge stash that we all accumulate. Hopefully it will also inspire both ourselves and others to combine some of our old and new products to reduce that stash.

This month's theme is "All Time Favourite Stamp Set". I did not have to think to hard for this one as I instantly thought of the retired Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies . 

If you look through my sidebar and scroll down to the tags and search for "Hand-Penned" you can see all my past creations with this set. It is by far the most used set I have ever had and I love it just as much now.

In addition to the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, I used the coordinating Penned Flowers Dies, Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder, Forever Green Trim Combo Pack, Gilded Gems (all retired) & Stampin' Blends.

Instructions:

- Use Fresh Freesia card for the base, layer with a piece of Very Vanilla and then a piece of Basic White embossed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.

- Die cut multiple flowers using the Penned Flowers Dies and Basic White card and layer them onto the card front to add extra texture.

- Stamp the large floral images from the Hand-Penned Petals twice onto Basic White with Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut the images. Colour the images with Stampin' Blends ( Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green & Old Olive).

- Use some Gold thread from the Forever Green Trim Combo Pack and adhere to the card and then added the coloured stamped images on top using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

- Stamp the sentiment onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink and adhere to the card. Finally add some Gilded Gems to complete the card.
