Elegantly Regal Card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are being inspired by a dice roll – Sponging, standard vertical, Congrats, Bling, Regals. I have made my card using the Elegant Leaves stamp set and dies.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the Elegantly Regal card using the following supplies:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Garden Green – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

Using a Blending Brush, I added Crushed Curry ink to the centre of the smaller panel of Basic White card and added some ‘splatter’ by knocking the light Cherry Cobbler Blends Pen on a Bonefolder. The panel was then glued to the Garden Green layer and then to the Cherry Cobbler card front.

The smallest leaf was then stamped with Crushed Curry in the same full strength and 2nd generation combo. The leaves were then die cut out and the two largest were arranged on the card front and glued in position.

Striped Leaves Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a technique of our choice. Now, I am in the middle of moving house and most of my craft room is packed and ready to go so I have used things I have to hand. One of my favourite things is to use up scraps and I have used this idea with the Elegant Leaves dies to create a pretty birthday card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the striped leaves card using the following supplies:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic Black – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Scenic Coast dsp – 6” by ⅜” x 6 or 7
Adhesive Sheet
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

Using the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder I embossed the Basic Black layer and adhered it to the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. The whole panel was then glued to the Basic Black card front.
