Inspiring Iris Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I created last Tuesday for my Facebook Live.  This Facebook Live was the first one this year where I went back to the porch for my Stampin' On the Porch Series that I did when I first started doing videos.  So I was excited to bring that back to everyone that had been asking when it was going to happen.  I am happy to announce that during the Summer and Fall as long as there is good weather we will be doing this series on Tuesday afternoons at 4 pm CST during my Facebook Live.

So last week as I mentioned we created a card during the first episode of the Second Season.  I used the Inspiring Iris Stamp Set and by the way that was a set that was on my list as soon as I saw it but had not ordered it yet.  I had forgotten about it until I saw it used at a Mini Retreat by Stampin' Up! back in June.  So as the demonstrator was show casing it I was online ordering the set.  And, I am so glad that I did.  Here's a look at my card.

The Inspiring Iris Stamp Set is a multi-layer stamp set that builds on each other.  By that I mean that it's a layering set.  So, I started out by Stamping the outline of the irises in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  Since I was not using my Stamparatus I felt this was the best way to go.  I then stamped the full colored image of the irises in Gorgeous Grape Ink and then the stems and leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink.  I then layered that onto a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock.  I then stamped my greeting on a 2" Whisper White circle and layered that onto a 2 1/4" Pear Pizzazz Circle.

Before attaching the card front to my card base and the sentiment to the front I added some of the Tricolor Ribbon using a couple mini glue dots.  Once I had the ribbon secured I added the entire card front to my Gorgeous Grape card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  I then added my sentiment using a couple Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish off the card I stamped the a piece of Whisper White with the border stamp in Gorgeous Grape ink and placed it on the inside of the card.  And Stamped some of the irises on the flap of a Whisper White medium envelope.
