Hello and welcome to the World Languages Blog Hop where we are – not surprisingly – sharing projects featuring a language not our own. Sadly I don’t have an ear for languages, much to my children’s disgust when they had German or French homework. I have chosen to make a card with a German sentiment using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set.
To recreate the German Inspirations card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Basic Black card – 4⅛” by 3” Berry Burst card – 4¼” by 3⅛” Basic White card – 4⅜” by 3¼” Scrap Basic Black card
Using Berry Burst ink, I randomly stamped the pretty floral image all over the panel of Basic White card.

I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters I needed from scrap Basic Black card. The word DANKE was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. If I had had my wits about me I would have added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card .

The stamped panel was added to the Berry Burst layer using the same liquid glue.

A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was mounted onto the Basic Black layer with Dimensionals,

If you saw my last blog post on Tuesday the 5th September where I shared a simple stamping (inks, stamps and paper) card made using the Cheerful Daisies stamp set. I could not resist stepping it up by changing the colour palette, adding layers and accessories.
To recreate the moody mauve daisies card, you will need:
Moody Mauve card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” Pebbled Path card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside Scrap Moody Mauve card
As before, I used Pebbled Path ink to randomly stamp the largest daisy flower all over the small panel of Basic White card.

I added the flower centre using 2nd generation Moody Mauve ink. The stamped panel was then glued, using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the Pebbled Path layer.

At this point I decided to add a layer of Basic White card and wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Ribbon around the panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape.

The same liquid glue was used to add the whole panel to a Moody Mauve card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Moody Mauve card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. It was then die cut using the label from the Cheerful Daisies Dies and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The large image from the Simply Succulent stamp set was stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card base in Fresh Freesia ink.
The same image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The largest succulent was then coloured in using Fresh Freesia Blends Pens. The panel was then glued to the Soft Succulent panel. Liquid glue was then used to add the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.
The sentiment from the Amazing Year stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the strip of Soft Sea Foam ink. It was added to the card front with liquid glue. A trio of Pastel Pearls completed this simple card.

I stamped the succulents in the same way then stamped the image again onto masking paper and cut it out using Scissors. The mask was used to cover the stamped image. I then stamped the flower pot in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the mask removed.
