Artisan Design Team - Wisteria Wishes Bundle

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today I'll be sharing two projects using the Wisteria Wishes Bundle, turning them into a slimline card and standard card.

The Artisan Design Team are featuring the Wisteria Wishes Bundle on Stampin' Up! Facebook and their new Instagram page where you'll sure to be inspired by everyone's creations, I'll add the link at the end of my blog.

The Wisteria Wishes Bundle (158860) is located on page 92 of the Stampin' Up! 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalogue. This beautiful bundle consists of Wisteria Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set (159434) and coordinating Wisteria Dies (158859). 10% bundle savings when you purchase the stamp set and dies together using (158860). I love the trio wisteria stamp and sentiments are so beautiful too.

Faith is about Trusting Card

As this is a new catalogue I just had to play with the new In Colors 2022 to 2024 for both of my cards. I've used Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. I just love them so much!

I started with the card base using Starry Sky Cardstock, I really like the deep blue color. The ombre panel is Basic White Cardstock, using the Blending Brush I started with Tahitian Tide then onto Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky Classic Ink. The three colours combined nicely together and I left white exposed at the bottom of the card.

I die-cut out a number of wisteria images in Basic White and applied the same colours to the wisteria as the background panel. I also die-cut a number of leaves in Basic White and added Parakeet Party with the Blending Brush.

I used the twisted vine die in Basic White Cardstock and layered the leaves over the vine. I like how the white stands out against the shades of blues.

To create the sentiment I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create a smaller label, by die-cutting the cardstock across at the top for a cute stitched look. 

To a Friend Slimline Card

To create the slimline card I used Orchid Oasis Cardstock measured at 18 x 21.5cm and at fold at 9cm. The Basic White panel is measured at 8.5 x 21cm this gives lots of room for stamping using the trio wisteria stamp. 

I would recommend starting off with the lightest color using Tahitian Tide Classic Ink in full strength and keep on stamping until there is no more ink on the stamp. Then to create realistic depth and variation I used Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky Classic Ink. Next, I used the single wisteria stamp and stamped over the wisteria images in either Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis or Starry Sky. I really liked mixing the colours together.

I wanted to add some depth and add another colour into the mix, so I used the flowers and leaves from the Wisteria Dies and die out a number of times in Basic White Cardstock.

To add contrast I used Parakeet Party, Bermuda Bay and Tahitian Tide to the leaves using Sponge Daubers for more control when adding colour to delicate die-cut pieces. 

I know you don't normally see green wisteria, but I wanted to make them pop against the stamped images. I used Basic White cardstock, applied Parakeet Party, Bermuda Bay and Tahitian Tide ink using Blending Brushes and the Classic Ink.

To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky and die-cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered over the leaves with Diemensionals.
