Petal Passion Focal

Oh I really did enjoy making this card!  The yellow / grey colour combination is one of my favourites.

The flower on this card is cut from a piece of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper

The 6" square Basic Gray base card is layered with Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray and Smoky Slate.

The Smoky Slate layer was run through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling embossing folder.

I fussy cut the gorgeous flower from a piece of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and coloured it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  I placed an orange coloured Tutti Frutti Self Adhesive sequin in the centre of the flower and added a small Black Rhinestone.

The greeting is from the So Many Shells stamp set and I made the label with the Label Me Pretty Bundle (stamp set and punch), adding some Daffodil Delight ink to the edge of the label and a couple of Black Rhinestones.

I wrapped lengths of Crushed Curry and Whisper White ribbon around the card and coloured another piece of the Whisper White Ribbon with a Stampin' Blend marker (Daffodil Delight Light).  I cut that ribbon into three pieces, formed loops and stuck them into position with glue dots.

The final step was a scattering of yellow Tutti Frutti sequins.

Thank you for visiting.

Carousel Birthday Twist & Pop

I love the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper and have been guilty of storing it rather than using it: #loveitchopit !!   I also had a spare Twist & Pop card left over from demonstrating at our last card-making gathering.

The ferris wheel image is echoed in the background paper

The image and greeting are stamped with Basic Black ink onto Very Vanilla card.  I added some sponging with Soft Sky ink as well as some edging with Basic Black ink.  I partially cut the ferris wheel with a Layering Circle die (using the Out of the Box technique to preserve the cupcakes) and adhered it to a larger Soft Sky circle that I'd edged with black ink. 

I stamped, coloured and cut more cupcakes and popped them into position with little pieces of Foam Adhesive.

The dimension on the cupcakes and the greeting can be seen from the side

There are many great tutorials available for this clever fun fold

I decorated the inside of the card with more of the Cupcakes & Carousels paper as well as some Bermuda Bay layers on the four central panels.

I stamped the horse four times with Basic Black ink on Very Vanilla card, coloured them with Watercolour Pencils and an Aqua Painter and then cut them out.  I did give the poles, the manes and tails a base coat with a Soft Sky Stampin' Write Marker before adding a little shading with the Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencil.

I stuck them to the panels at different heights to (hopefully) give the impression of the horses going up and down on a carousel.

The horses are grey with pale blue manes & tails.  The colours for their livery are taken from the paper

I stamped the tents with Basic Black ink onto the patterned paper and then again onto Soft Sky card.  I cut around the Soft Sky tents and glued them into position.

The area of writing a greeting is a piece of Very Vanilla card, cut with one of the Lots of Labels dies and edged with Basic Black ink.

The horses are at different levels to give the appearance of a carousel

You've Got This layered card

I've made no secret of the fact that I'm obsessed with the new copper embossing powder - the evidence is irrefutable!

Just loving the new copper embossing powder!

This card is really a variation on a theme, using more of my favourite Affectionately Yours DSP - remember ...  #loveitchopit !

The base card is Early Espresso and the flower is adhered to an Early Espresso layer cut with the Lots of  Labels framelits.

The Flower was heat embossed in copper on Crumb Cake cardstock and watercoloured with Early Espresso ink.  I then fussy cut the flower.  I added a bow of  (retired) Crumb Cake ribbon.

I trimmed a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock to size and then cut the top with one end of the largest Lots of Labels framelits.  I added a strip of Early Espresso and an offcut of the DSP to this layer.

I hand cut a banner end into a strip of Early Espresso and added it between the Cajun Craze and DSP layers for some extra definition.

I finished the card with some lovely copper brads.  What?  Copper?  Yes!  They're Antique Brads that have been "copperised"!  Hold the brad with a pair of tweezers and coat it with versamark.  Dip it into a pot of copper embossing powder and then use a heat tool - voila - a copper brad emerges!  I'm so sad that the Antique Brads are retiring - I really like them ... copper or not!

Thank you for visiting.

Masculine Split Card - Sneak Peek Floral Affection Embossing Folder

This is another card that I made in preparation for the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Dena Rekow that I didn't use and ended up orphaned!  I do like it though - so it should have it's time in the spotlight.

A masculine split card

I used Dena's instructions to make the split card from Basic Gray cardstock, which I layered with Whisper White before adding a layer of paper from the new Affectionately Yours DSP pack.

I cut a piece of Basic Gray cardstock and embossed it with one of the new Floral Affection embossing folders (there are two in the pack that will be released on 1 June).  Then I used a round corner punch.

I stamped the birthday greeting from Wetlands with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the Scallop Oval punch.  This punch is retiring but from 1 June there will be scallop oval framelits available in the new Layering Ovals Framelits.

Having glued the birthday greeting to the embossed layer, I attached it to the two pieces of the card front.

I added a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock to the inside of the card which shows through to the front, creating a soft but masculine appearance to the card.

Thank you for your visit.
