Daisy Patchwork Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are creating using embossing folders. I have used the pretty Lovely Blossoms dsp and the new Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder to make my card which was inspired by a Youtube video from Alisa Tilsner

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the daisy patchwork card using the following supplies:

I hadn’t managed to get them straight or the borders even so started to trim down the top, bottom and both sides in an effort to make the layer even and straight. Inevitably, I kept cutting until there was no border left…………

Trio of Birds Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have been playing with the Cutest Crew stamp set and have made a pretty birthday card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the trio of birds card using the following supplies:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Flirty Flamingo – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly & Balmy Blue

 

I stamped the adorable trio of birds from the Cutest Crew stamp set onto the smaller panel of Basic White card using Secret Sea ink.

The ‘grass’ from the Woolly Friends stamp set was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink. I used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink to the ‘sky’.
