And what a Bloomin’ Marvellous card this is. I love the de-bossed Petals a Plenty background.
The butterflies have been stamped in Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, and Rich Razzleberry. And layered on an opposite coloured circle. Basic Rhinestones create the body of one of the butterflies.
I added a faux stitching on the Island Indigo cardstock using the White Gel pen.
I hope you like it. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
As you know I have been running some regular Cards and coffee mornings. These are lovely informal classes and are designed for all abilities. If you live near Wokingham, Berkshire then why not pop along to one. Drop me an email for a list of dates.
As we are still in Saleabration the first card was made using the Feeling Sentimental stamp set and First Edition Speciality Papers. Early Espresso cardstock was used for the base and matting. I used Naturals White cardstock for the base mat and to stamp the phone box onto.
The phone box was then water coloured using Real red ink.
This next card was inspired by the Easel card that I got to make at our recent Show box swap. With this one I wanted to go a little more masculine and used the totally gorgeous Fan Fair Designer Series Papers to dictate the colour combination and give an air of masculinity. The tree is from the ever so popular Lovely As A Tree set.
The Natural trim Ribbon looks like hessian and really added to this card.
See how when you open the card you can then see the greeting inside and use it to hold open the easel too.
And last but not least is this cheerful birthday card. I love the white stamping of the flowers from Mixed Bunch. The greeting is from Curly cute and that main flower has been stamped in Craft Whisper White ink. The centre is stamped in Raspberry Ripple as is the greeting. A couple of Basic Rhinestones
I hope you like the cards we made. Don’t forget to get in touch if you would like to come to future classes or if you would like to order any of the products used here.
Until next time, happy crafting.
I have indeed, very busy playing with all my Saleabration goodies that I received free with my last order.
I am really loving the Sycamore Street Designer Series Papers. Who says that 12x12 papers is only for scrapbooking? It makes such fantastic backing paper or elements for cards and other protects too. Did you see the Card Keeper box I made a few posts back? Like I said the papers are great for every thing.
Well today I have some more cards for you that I made using the Sycamore Street papers.
My first one shows the hidden paper behind the matting by punching out the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch. i love the Hello greeting from the My Friend stamp set. I made the bow across the middles of the card using strips of the papers.
I love the Petite Banners builder punch that I used for the next card. It creates a nice design across the middle of the next card. I used the dotted edge stamp from the Pennant Parade set to stamp an edge on the Sycamore Street papers before I punched them out.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these cards today. Come back soon
Until next time, happy crafting.
I just love this set from our Sale-a-bration. I just knew when I saw it that I needed to make a bunch of Bloomin’ flowers!
I decided to keep the colours very muted using Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery, So Saffron with a base of Crumb Cake. I used Early Espresso Ink for the greeting, and punched it out with our rather fab Ticket Duo Builder punch.
I tied the bunch of flowers using So Saffron Taffeta ribbon. And the leaves for the bunch came from the Bird Builder punch. I love that punch as it is so versatile for other things.
A pearl added to each flower gives it some dimension.
I hope you like it.
Until next time, happy crafting.
How are you today? Have the recent snow flurries affected you? If it has i hope it has given you some crafting time if you are not able to get out.
As part of my new year re-organisation I decided to treat myself to a new diary. I wanted something that looked crafty, but was functional. I debated about an Organised Mum diary, had a look on the bay, amazon etc. And then I found it! I love it, it’s sooooo Stampin’ Up! and yet it’s not even been made by or for them.
It’s made by Filofax but the design reminded me of the Aviary stamp set in the catalogue.
I can see now that this is a set I am going to now have to add to my stash, I have so many ideas for it! It’s amazing where you can find inspiration.
I also decided that I also needed a note book. A while ago hubby brought home some A5 ring bound books. They have a ton of ruled pages that are just great for making lots of notes in. But in true crafting style, I needed to pretty it up!
Now I have a fair bit of crafting loveliness in my craft room. Lots of new exciting stuff to use. But I decided to reach for some retired papers to cover the book. You see the one thing that I love with Stampin’ Up!., product is that you can go back to it again and again. And especially the fact that all the colours match so perfectly, you know that you’ll always have something to match that's current. So Stampin’ Up!., really doesn’t go out of style!
And I even covered the inside of the cover…
So from plain old boring book to fabulous Everyday Enchantment Notes. These gorgeous Saleabration papers from last year are still looking good today! Although I am thinking I may just make another in the papers from this years Saleabration set! Watch this space!
Happy crafting!
