Soft colours for a birthday card

Perennial Birthday again

Posted on by

The gorgeous Perennial Birthday stamp set was still out on my desk this morning so I used it to make a quick birthday card.

I started with a Perfect Plum card base and stamped randomly all over the front with the largest flower stamp and Perfect Plum ink. Love the subtle tone on tone look of this.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Perfect Plum ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using my Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Pool Party cardstock and set it to one side.

Using Pool Party, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz – I should have added in Peakaboo Peach and I would have used all the PP’s colours – I stamped a variety of the flowers and leaves from the stamp set around the edge of the Whisper White die cut circle. The stamped circle was then added to the Pool Party scalloped circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added banners to the card front in Pear Pizzazz (4⅛” by ½”) and Pink Pirouette (4⅛” by ⅜”) and flagged the ends with my scissors. The circle piece was added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I painted the centre of all the flowers on the circle and on the card front with Clear Wink of Stella, so pretty.

Hope you like this card.

Gorgeous jewl colours for a good luck card

Banners For You makes a good luck card

Posted on by

I have been using the Banners For You stamp set today to make a good luck card for a friend.

Banners for you in Autumnal colours

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4 ½” by 3” which I die cut using the Big Shot and the 2nd largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits. I then took 2 of the leaf images from the Banners For You stamp set and the smallest leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and randomly stamped them onto the die cut label using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler inks. To get a depth of colour I used 1st & 2nd generation stamping. To fill in some of the gaps I used the dotty image from the Banners For You stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut a 2nd label in the same size from Crushed Curry cardstock, cut it across the middle with my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the stamped piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive with the some of the colour showing at the top and the bottom.

I ran a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder before adhering the piece to the front of an Old Olive card base.

I stamped the banner from the Banners For You Stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the Bunch of Banners framelits. I then stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the die cut banner. I die cut the banner again from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and glued the 2 together slightly off set. The banner was then added to the stamped label using Stampin’ Dimensionals before the whole piece was added to the card front using Tombow. To finish the card of I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Love the Autumn colours of this card. I hope my friend likes it and that it brings her luck.
