Forever Lovely for a team challenge

Today I am sharing a card made using the Forever Lovely Bundle for our team challenge. We were asked to CASE one of our own cards and after some thought I chose this sweet card made in December 2018.

I have kept many of the elements from the original card but wanted to use brighter, richer colours.

I began by stamping the circle from The Swirly Frames stamp set in Gray Granite ink onto a large scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using The Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Gray Granite ink.

The flowers were stamped in Berry Burst ink or Bermuda Bay ink and die cut using the Lovely Flowers dies. A couple of flowers were also fussy cut using my sharp scissors. I also stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and die cut them. Finally I die cut the small flowers in both Berry Burst cardstock and Coastal Cabana cardstock.

I added all the pieces to a layer of Whisper White cardstock, 5¼” by 3½” using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin Dimensionals. This decorated panel was layered onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” with Multipurpose glue. The whole topper was then added to a Berry Burst card base. I added a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots to add a little shine to the card.

I stamped the large flower in Bermuda Bay ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added the layer inside the card. The same image was stamped on an envelope. Ooh I neraly forgot – I also rounded the upper right corners on all the layers using the Detailed Trio Punch.

A lovely floral card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 colour challenge using the Painted Seasons stamp set

CAS Colours & Sketches #309 – Painted Seasons

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #309 Challenge. I used the gorgeous Painted Seasons stamp set, can’t seem to get enough of this set at the moment. The challenge this time asked us to create a project using Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.

Making the CAS Colours & Sketches card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and randomly stamped the 2 flowers, 1 in Daffodil Delight and the other in So Saffron ink. I then stamped 2 of the leaf images in 1st or 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The small cluster of stars were then randomly added in So Saffron ink. Basically I used the stamps to make my own dsp.

I then wrapped a length of Daffodil Delight Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to a Pear Pizzazz card base with a rounded upper left corner.

Using my Bigshot and the Doily Builder dies I cut out the ring doily from Whisper White cardstock. I only wanted the centre piece and added the detailed ring to my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever lovely stamp set onto the centre die cut in Pear Pizzazz ink. I added a portion of one of the large flowers at the bottom of the die cut using Daffodil Delight ink. The piece was then mounted using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, onto a Basic Gray circle, cut using the Layering Circle dies. The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped one of the flower images in Daffodil Delight ink and a leaf in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card having rounded the upper left corner. The same images were then stamped on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.

A floral card made using the Four-Petal Punch and the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack

Garden Path for the GDP #175

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Global Design Project #175 the theme being ‘down the garden path’.  I also used the card as my swap for a training event I am at today, I chose to make my swaps using flower and leaf punches.

Making the card

I started by stamping the 2 large flowers from the Pop of Petals stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock using Lovely Lipstick ink. I die cut the adorable doily ring from the Doily Builder set of dies using Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to a panel of Whisper White cardstock (measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”) using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up the sentiment from the Hello Cupcake stamp set with Night of Navy ink and stamped it in the centre of the doily ring.

Next I punched out small flowers using some of the punches from the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack. I used Flirty Flamingo and Night of Navy cardstock. I added the small circular centres punched using the same set of punches in either Night of Navy or Daffodil Delight cardstock. I also punched out a couple of the foliage sprigs using the Sprig Punch.

I added the leaf sprigs to the doily ring with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the large Lovely Lipstick flowers with Mini Glue Dots. The smaller flowers were then added around the larger flowers with Mini Glue dots.

I added Clear Faceted Gems to the centre of the larger flowers and added Clear Wink of Stella to the centres of the smaller flowers. To finish the panel I rounded the upper left hand corner. The decorated panel was added to a Night of Navy layer and added the whole piece to a Lovely Lipstick card base.
