Introducing our latest release…2024 Fuchsia! It’s a beautiful, versatile collection of garden-themed dies, 6×6 plaids and prints, embossing folders and rub-ons. Buds, blossoms, branches, butterflies, bees, beetles and dragonflies – ready to create late spring and summer cards for every occasion. Add the perfect greetings for thank-yous, friendship cards and celebrations. Hi, Jean here with the first of many designs from this great collection.
Let’s start with the fuchsia. Spritz both sides of watercolor paper with a light mist of water. Pressure-emboss it with Little Fuchsia Flower Trio & Branch. Use the die to cut a stencil from medium-weight cardstock. Sponge, daub or brush the embossed designs with Distress Oxides – mowed lawn, flamingo kitsch and picked raspberry – and Charming Pink VersaFine Clair. Heat-set the inks. Diecut it – leave the pieces in the die to keep them organized. Assemble the blossoms.
Attach ScorTape over a light green sheet from the Greenery 6×6 Pack. Cut it with the Hello Breezy Script background. Cut the detailed top layer from a medium green sheet from the Greenery pack – keep the diecut in the die but remove the tiny pieces inside the e, l’s and o. Press the detailed greeting firmly onto the adhesive-covered background. Cover it with detail clear embossing powder, tap off the excess, then heat-emboss it. It’ll be securely-attached, with a glossy background and perfectly centered!
Cut the light green 6×6 with the 2-¼” wide A2 Rectangle Frames die. Cut the rectangle with the 1-¾” wide A2 Rectangle Frames die to create a simple framed background.
Cut the green, pink and white Fuchsia Plaid sheet with the 2-¾” wide A2 Rectangle Frames die.
Cut the small Azure Dragonflies from a green Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6×6. Cut it again from the lime green Rainbow Reflections 6×6. Attach the glittered wings to the mirror cardstock – it’s easier to “sandwich” the wings between the 2 mirror cardstock diecuts. Save the extra diecuts for another project.
Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½” x 6-¼”) – use foam tape for the dragonfly wing tips. Add green Bright Jewels. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
