What a Beautiful Day for Petal Passion!

I have successfully adopted the #loveitchopit mantra and haven't been guilty of hoarding pretty papers for a long time now!  Instead, I'm finding I have lots of little offcuts that I don't want to waste so I'm tending to build cards around them!

Layering is a great way to use up oddments of pretty paper

This card is all about using up pieces of the gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper!

I watercoloured one strip and then layered away with Flirty Flamingo cardstock - one of the retiring 2016-2018 In-Colours that I'm trying to use up as well!

To finish the card I stamped the flower from Beautiful Day onto Flirty Flamingo cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it.  I then watercoloured with Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral inks to add some depth to the flower.  For the leaf, I simply painted over the Flirty Flamingo card with Tranquil Tide ink.

There's a Clear Faceted Gem in the centre of the flower for extra "oomph"!

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Petal Passion in Flirty Flamingo

Continuing my quest to use up the retiring 2016-2018 In-Colours!  This time it's Flirty Flamingo, which I've paired with the gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.

Petal Passion paper makes for a quick, easy and pretty card!

The flower is from one of the sheets of Petal Passion paper - I watercoloured it and then cut it out.

The flower is attached with a Stampin' Dimensional for extra impact

The leaves are cut from Emerald Envy cardstock (another of those retiring colours) and then sponged with a touch of Tranquil Tide ink.

The flower was lightly curled with a bone folder and attached with a dimensional.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Cathy Caines

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Cathy Caines - we are thrilled to have Cathy join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her.  

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey through the blog hop.

Cathy is a super-talented member of the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team and her blog is filled with amazing cards, so it took me a while to settle on a card to CASE - but it was such a pleasurable process!  If you click on the picture of Cathy's card above, you'll also be able to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Cathy's projects! 

Beautiful You meets Celebrate You

In my opinion, Cathy's card is just perfect, so I really didn't want to mess too much with the design.

I used the Labeler Alphabet stamps to white heat emboss the word "are" onto Basic Black cardstock.  Using the Multi Purpose Adhesive Sheets made adhering the Celebrate You die cuts very quick and easy to do.

By the way - the Celebrate You dies are available FREE during Sale-A-Bration (until the end of March) with a qualifying purchase.  All the details of the incredible Sale-A-Bration offers and opportunities are on my Specials & Promotions page.

I coloured the Beautiful You lady with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, so I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The base card is Berry Burst with a layer of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.

For the final decorations, I used two pieces of Berry Burst ribbon and one piece of Whisper White and a sprinkling of Tutti Frutti Self Adhesive Sequins.

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.
