Just to say...

 

This is a card I made using lovely items from Stampin' Up, Martha Stewart and WOW! embossing powder.

 

I attached a square card of dark red card onto a square card blank. I cut a square of white card and using Martha Stewart's Country Tile Pattern Punch All Over the Page punch to punch the pattern.  I added this to the card. In the centres of the design I added red Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.

 

For the flowers I used Stampin' Up 'Secret Garden' stamp set. I stamped the flowers and leaves with a VersaMark ink pad onto white and dark red card. I heat embossed with flowers with WOW! Pomegranate embossing powder and the leaves with WOW! Olive embossing powder. I used the matching Stampin' Up Secret Garden dies to cut out the flowers. I attached the flowers to the card. To finish I added gold Dimension Pearls to the centres of the flowers.

Wedding card

 

This is the second Wedding card I have made using the lovely Secret Garden stamp set by Stampin' Up. I am entering this card into Lisa B Design monthly blog challenge. The theme is Weddings.

 

I begun by using the pretty Delicate Designs scalloped edge embossing folder again from Stampin' Up to emboss the side pattern. I stamped the sentiment using a dark blue ink pad.

 

 I stamped the flowers into light silver pearlescent card again with the dark blue ink pad. I used the matching dies to cut out the flowers. I stamped the leaves with a dark green ink pad and again used the dies to cut them out. I attached the flowers to the card. I stamped some of the flowers again and cut out sections which I added with foam pads. To finish I added blue Dimension Pearls to the centres of the flowers.

Wedding Day

 

This is a Wedding card which I'm entering in Lisa B. Design monthly blog challenge. The theme is Weddings. I have already entered once this month but I have just made a couple of wedding cards for a friend so I thought I would enter this too.

 

The flower stamp I used is Secret Garden  and the scalloped edge embossing folder is Delicate Designs both from Stampin'Up. I also used the matching Framelit Dies to cut out the flowers.

 

The flower were either stamped with a RichRazzleberry ink pad or heat embossed with WOW Embossing Powders. The green leaves were also heat embossed with WOW Embossing Powders.

I used the embossing folder to add the pretty lace effect across the top and bottom of the card. I punched holes and added ribbon before adding the flowers to the card. The sentiment was also stamped the Rich Razzleberry ink pad. To finish I added a bow and gold Dimension Pearls to the centre of the flowers.

Two by Two

 

 This is a baby boy card I have made using a lovely stamp from Stampin' Up. The stamp is called 'Two by Two'. It's such a lovely image that I just had to have the stamp.

I stamped the image with a Tuxedo Black ink pad and coloured it in with ProMarkers and Copics. I used a Spellbinders Labels dies to cut out the image and the frames.

 

I covered a square card blank with panels of dark blue card, gingham and spotty papers. I used my Cricut to cut of the lettering. I added the lettering and image to the card. I added spots blue Dimensions Pearls to the corners. To finish I added faux stitching.

 

Mother's Day blossoms

 

This is a Mother's Day card I made with a pretty new stamp set from Stampin' Up called Stippled Blossoms.

 

I begun by stamping the flower heads and leaves. As the stamps were two-part stamps I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the two colours. The coloured ink pad I used were Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive, all my Stampin' Up. I added gold Dimension Pearls to the centre of the flowers. I cut out each flower and leaves.

 

I used Stampin' Up Labels Collection Framelits dies to cut out the sentiment shape. I used gold peel-offs for the sentiment and I added a stamped flower.

 

 

For the background I use a square of brown card and an embossed square of cream paper. I used Tied Together embossing folder. I used Seam Binding ribbon for the ruffle. To finish I added gold brads and faux stitching.

Birthday flowers

 

This is a 60th birthday card I made using the pretty 'Bordering on Romance' stamp set by Stampin' Up. I used my new Copics to colour the stamped flowers images.

 

I cut a panel of smooth white card for the background which I stamped the outline of the small flower design on to form a patterned paper. I also stamped the larger images which I cut out and used in the corners. I added gold Dimension Pearls to the centre of the flowers. As I said I used Copics to colour the stamped images.

 

The centre strip was also stamped. The small flower strip was also from the Bordering on Romance stamp set. I added the stamped strip onto a strip of dark pink card. I used a Stampin' Up punch for the border.

 

I used my Cricut to cut the 60 from white and dark pink card. I attached all the panels onto a Craftwork Cards scalloped edge card blank.

I begun by stamping the flowers and leaves. I used Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Baja Blue, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake Stampin' Up ink pads. I cut out each element.



I cut a square of white and dark blue card which I attached together. Onto this I arrange the flowers and leaves. I added small silver brads and Stickles to the centre of the flowers and leaves. Across the square I added a strip and bow of blue Denim Jean ribbon also from Stampin' Up. To finish I added a circle greeting from Craftwork Cards and small black dots.

Wedding roses

I used one of favourite stamps set for this card, 'A rose is a rose' from Stampin' Up. Unfortunately the set has now been retired. Out of all my stamp sets (and I have quite a few, haha) this is probably one of my most use. A card made with this set near fails to please me. It ideal for so many occasions.



Each flower and leaf is stamped separately and then cut out before adding to the card blank. I used Rose Red and Pretty in Pink ink pads for the flowers. For the leaves I used Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz ink pads all from Stampin' Up. I used a Stamp-a-ma-jog to line up the coloured sections so they match-up. I used my Cricut to cut the wording. To finish I added small dots around the edge and pink gems.

Mother's Day cards

This is a selection of Mother's Day card I have made.

I attached the punched baubles onto the white square. I cut a slit above each bauble and on the swirl. I threaded ribbon through the slits and attached behind the square. On a square card blank I added square of red and gold card as well as the bauble square.

Stamping - I love it!

I begun by stamping all the rose and leaf images. The stamp set I used is 'A rose is a rose' by Stampin' Up. This is one of my favourite stamps sets that I have probably used more than any other. The stamps are two-part, you stamp the light colour first and then using a Stamp-a-ma-jig (stamping positioning tool) you then stamp the dark part of the image.



The ink pad colours I used for the items are all by Stampin'Up. I used Rose Pink, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. I cut out all the piece and attached them to a card blank. I added faux stitching with a Rich Razzleberry pen. I used Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge for the lettering.



The stamped images and lettering on the notebook cover were created in the same was as the card. I also stamped the rose image on the inside pages of the book. I used my Cinch to bind the book together.

I stamped the greeting using white craft ink pad onto a label punched with Decorative Label punch. The greeting is from Contempo Christmas stamp set. I added a flower to the Label.

Festive trio

This is a set of card I've made using Stampin' Up stamps and ink pads. I am entering these cards into this week's challenge Simply Stampin' blog challenge.
