Today’s Tuesday Tutorial showcases the Tasteful Touches Bundle and also the Sunflower dies from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! I chose this color scheme because it reminds me of the Purple Coneflowers I have in my garden – they are called “purple” but they are more of a pinkish shade – hence my choice of Rococo Rose cardstock.    

Today’s Tuesday Tutorial showcases the Arrange a Wreath Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!

2. Die-cut two sprig wreaths out of Just Jade. With tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue attach one to the other making sure they don’t overlap but so they are slightly askew. Set aside to dry. 
3. With broad strokes of the brush tip of the Dark Soft Sea Foam and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, cover scraps of Whisper White cardstock with wide lines and blend edges. Die-cut the 2 large and 3 small flowers from the Wreath Builder Dies. 
4. With Pretty Peacock stamp sentiment on small Whisper White strip. Punch edges with Lovely Labels Pick a Punch so the final piece is about 2-3/8” wide after punching. 
5. Tie Linen Thread around the wreath on the left side then trim ends with Paper Snips.
