I am a sucker for a leaf stamp and really enjoyed making this simple ombre card using the Simply Leaves stamp set which will be available from my online shop from July. It was inspired by a card I saw made by Janice Thompson of JazzleDazzleCrafts.

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working it a dice roll challenge. We are creating projects featuring – neutrals, a fancy fold, a punch or die cut, a trinket and the sentiment ‘for you’.
I created the flowers fair overlay card using the following supplies:
Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛” Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛” Basic White – 3¼” by 3” Seasons of Elegance dsp – 5¾” by ¾” Seasons of Elegance dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2 Scrap Basic White
I glued the longer, thinner piece of Season of Elegance designer series paper to the top flap of the card base and the remaining two pieces either side of the inside of the card base and set it aside.

As the Flowers Fair stamp is large, I used a Stamp Positioner to stamp the image onto the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using Early Espresso ink.

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – Gray Granite, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. The decorated panel was then glued to the bottom of the Thick Basic White panel measuring 4⅛ by 3⅛”. The top of the panel was then glued in the centre of the top flap on the back.

I found a pretty dragonfly charm in my stash and hung it from the back of the sentiment banner with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine, securing it in position with Tear and Tape.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using one of our products of the month. I have chosen to make my card using the Painted Illusions dsp, February’s product of the month which is still available.
I created the quilted painted illusions card using the following supplies:
Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side Night of Navy – 5⅜” by 3⅝” Basic White – 5¼” by 3½” Painted Illusions dsp – 1” squares x 9 Backing – 3” by 3” – I used grid paper but copy paper would do Basic White – 3” by ¼” x 4 Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside Scrap Night of Navy
I ran the 5¼” by 3½” Basic White layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and adhered the embossed panel to the panel of Night of Navy card. The layer was then glued to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I laid out the 1” squares of Painted Illusions dsp on the 3” by 3” piece of grid paper creating a pattern. When I was happy with the layout, I used liquid glue to adhere the 1” squares to the grid paper.

I glued the ¼” strips over the dsp panel and ran the whole piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. The panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
