Spellbinders Susan’s Backyard Nasturtiums Tutorial for April 2024 Flower of the Month
Pleased Great Wednesday, Buddies! It’s time to make our April 2024 Flower of the Month with a Spellbinders Susan’s Backyard Nasturtiums Tutorial. I’ve at all times been a giant fan of those cheery little flowers and their parasol-shaped leaves. So when Spellbinder’s launched them as a Susan’s Backyard die set, I simply had so as to add them to my stash. I’ll present you ways I coloured and formed these fairly petals within the video tutorial beneath.
Stamperia Backyard Card Particulars
As quickly as I pulled this die set out of the Closet of Inspiration and Delight, I knew I wished to pair it up with Stamperia Backyard patterned papers. Teal and tangerine might be not the primary colour palette that involves your thoughts on a Wednesday morning, however don’t they give the impression of being terrific collectively?
Right here’s the best way to put this card base collectively:
- First, create a 7″ x 5″ prime fold card base from darkish gray cardstock.
- Subsequent, reduce a 6 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ panel of the Stamperia Backyard patterned paper. Adhere this to as barely bigger panel of teal cardstock.
- Now, reduce a 6 3/4″ x 2″ stomach band of the striped paper and mat on a barely bigger panel of teal cardstock.
- Fussy reduce the plant tag and cling on a barely bigger panel of teal cardstock. Again with dimensionals.
- Die reduce the galvanized backyard tub from each gray cardstock and a patterned paper. Adhere the patterned paper so it’s barely offset. Again with two layers of dimensionals on the base, and one across the prime fringe of the barrel.
- Add the nasturtium leaves to the galvanized backyard tub first, then adhere the ready blooms.
- Adhere a number of coloured mustard seeds on the base of the plant stake.
Propagation Backyard Sentiments
I by no means fairly really feel as if a card is completed till I’ve added a sentiment or some textual content to the duvet. What may very well be a higher possibility than this pretty Spellbinders Propagation Backyard Stamp & Die Set?
The unique sentiment on the Stamperia Backyard tag was Spring is Right here. However I wished so as to add a sentiment with slightly extra whimsy. Right here’s the best way to make that occur:
- First, ink up a panel of plain white cardstock with Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, and Misplaced Mariner Misery Inks.
- Then , rub an anti-static pouch over the inky panel.
- Subsequent, stamp the sentiment with Jet Black Archival Ink and instantly cowl with clear embossing powder.
- Now warmth set the embossing powder and reduce the sentiment out with the matching die.
TIP: Minimize a teal cardstock mat for the stamped sentiment utilizing the identical die. Minimize it in half throughout the center and cling to the again of the sentiment so that you’ve got slightly cardstock margin round it. Nobody will discover, I promise!
A Peek Inside
Minimize a 12″ x 4 7/8″ panel of patterned paper for the highest half of the cardboard. Rating at 6 7/8″ to type the flap. Create a pocket with a journal card from the paper assortment, and tuck in a seed packet.
It’s at all times good to have an area to write down a private message and/or add a photograph. This makes a card actually really feel extra like a folio, which is one thing I like.
The underside pocket has a second massive panel for a notice or photograph in addition to a cute bookmark. All of the stamped sentiments are from the Propagation Backyard stamp set.
