FALLING LEAVES WITH THE STAMPIN’ UP! FRAMED VIOLETS

It’s been a while since I have shown you a Violets card. This one is a falling leaves one.

For this card I didn’t add the Violets as diecuts or stamped ones. I added 3 diecut leaves. The little purple flower is one from the Framed Violets Dies set and I added colour to the centre with some ink. If you tie a little twine bow behind the flower it can help highlight the tiny flower.

You could substitute this idea with other leaves and little flowers though if you didn’t have the violets – if you wanted to.

At the bottom of the card I added a wider strip of the Violet Dreams paper and then a smaller strip just behind it sitting above there.

Maybe these ideas could help you creating a card even if you don’t have the violets.

Happy Crafting,

SWEET SUNDAY WITH THE BIRTHDAY SONG

Sweet Sunday with this bunch of happy characters. This is with the Birthday Song Stamp Set.

This card was created by Stampin’ Up! artists but I just had to show you.

I like how all the elements went together. I couldn’t work out the “sea” though. Then I found it is paper from the Waterside Retreat Paper Pack. Clever… The background sky is from that pack too. It’s good to look at your paper in different ways. It really forms a big part of the scene on this one.

The characters are colours so well though too. These ones have been lightly watercoloured with the Ink Pads and Water Brush.

How sweet. Have you noticed this Birthday Song set?

You can see it more -> HERE.

Happy Sunday,

Jenny

HOLE IN THE ROCK WITH THE SCENIC COAST BUNDLE ~

I have been creating a lot with the Scenic Coast Bundle this week. I will share them all with you in the coming week.

Today’s card though is using the stamps to create a scene. I wasn’t sure what direction to take this when I started it but then it happened. And I created a Hole in the Rock scene.

There is a Hole in the Rock in New Zealand just like this that you can cruise through. I did that some years ago one time when I was there.

For the water I stamped it once in the centre and then either side of that to create a wider water scene. The “Hole in the Rock” was stamped in Pecan Pie for the solid image and Early Espresso for the shadow areas. It creates more depth when doing that.

It is hard to but I also stamped the smaller “water” stamp over the Night of Navy card in 3 areas to create the background. I considered embossing with an embossing folder but it worked ok for a subtle background.

The Hello is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

This is the Sunset Coast Stamps and Dies.

Check back over the next week as I share more with these stamps and dies and the paper.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

FRAMED PEACEFUL GARDEN WITH LOVE CARD

Today’s card is one with the gorgeous Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.

The frame is created with the Branching Out Dies from Cloud Cover cardstock. This was embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of that lovely paper to adhere to the back and then raised the piece off the Base Card with Dimensionals. This gives the card extra dimension and texture.

Isn’t the sentiment so lovely?? That was diecut with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

It’s a simple card but what more do you need.

Try it with any of your papers and embossing folders. You can create the frame with any shape too. Maybe a rectangle or even a circle.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

PRETTY FLORALS WITH THE PERENNIAL LAVENDER PAPER ~

I made this card some months ago but forgot to show you. So here you are in all it’s glory. Well maybe not quite…

I paired the Pretty Florals stamps and dies with the Perennial Lavender Paper. They work well together I think.

To give it some variation rather than just having a piece of the paper as a mat I cut 2 different width strips and layered it on the card mat. It also came about because I had a piece of the paper not quite wide enough so cut it to give that variation.

I have show quite a few cards with the Pretty Florals Bundle already. If you missed them do a search for the Tag of Pretty Florals and they should come up. Or do a little scrolling. 🙂

It is good that the Perennial Lavender Paper is still around. We get to use those gorgeous colours for a little longer.

The Sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set.

MOSSY MEADOW FLORAL CHARM CARD ~

I have been playing more with the Floral Charm Suite which includes the Charming Day Bundle and the gorgeous Floral Charm Paper.

This is one of the recent cards. The dark colours are hard to photograph so hope it’s not too dark for you to see.

It did take some time to colour the flowers to be honest. I wasn’t sure about getting the colours right but I’m putting it out there for you anyway. I used the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and touch of the Light Pecan Pie I think.

It’s simply a piece of the Floral Charm paper on a Mossy Meadow Card Base. The strip of Floral Charm Paper helps to highlight the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies.

Here is the Charming Day Bundle. See it more -> HERE.

And that gorgeous Floral Charm Paper. See it more -> HERE.

Don’t forget there is Free Shipping until Friday so this might be good timing if you like to get these – or any other products.
