I am an on-the-side and increasingly up front papercrafter who loves nothing more than getting inky and creating pretty things with paper and stamps!
I am also a wife to lovely hubby and mummy to a wonderful 14yr old princess.
I’m back with more floral elements from the perfectly penned and this time rainbow themed.
I coloured each of the clusters a different colour of the rainbow using stampin blends and promarkers. I added them to a dotty background (leftovers from the True Love dsp) raising some up on foam for dimension.
I then created my sentiment layering it on some rainbow washi covered cardstock.
Finished off inside the black cardblank a white insert with an added floral element and washi strip.
Yesterday I shared a card I made with a gelato background and some Paperartsy stamps … well I made four backgrounds in total so I have another three cards I can share once I’ve finished them. So far I have only finished one so that’s what I have for you today!
This one I finished in a similar way with the bits and bobs off the desk and an Avery Elle sentiment … this time it had a Splendid Thoughts as the focal elements though.
Love how different in feel the different colours look between this and yesterdays card.
Looking forward to seeing how I finish off the other backgrounds I made at the same time.
I have another design team contribution for Addicted to stamps and more and this time the challenge is ‘any occasion’.
I made a series of hello cards having a play session with gelatos and this is one of the cards I made.
Once I had added the colour to the background I added stamping using Paperartsy stamps and then grabbed bits and pieces from the desk to add the focal piece … old olive ribbon, linen lacy trim, a stamped berry and leaf twig and paper twine. I stamped and die cut the sentiment and then added the gems to finish off!
Love the earthy colour to this and the pops of bright yellow and lime.
Off to see what the rest of the design team have been up to making for this too.
I decided to play with decoupage after printing and colouring the image three times and then cutting different parts out to layer up.
I then added some layered cardstock and the ribbon and the embossed card base. I then decided to diecut the letters for the sentiment and stamp the final part.
I decided to add wink of Stella to each of the flowers and this made it really shiny!
At the beginning of the month I used some perfectly penned dsp to create a black and white card… this time I made it colourful with added yellow.
Firstly a yellow card blank and secondly I coloured all the images using my Stampin Blends in daffodil delight. And how cute does this look?
I kept the card fairly similar in design (this time larger flower clusters not single flowers) with the products used but with the pop of yellow it looks so different. I also added yellow gems (I coloured them using the stampin blends) to embellish.
I decided to join in again for this months inchie swap and made another set using those pieces of packaging I had found in the desk last month.
I made the background using my stampin blend markers and colouring some stripes across the scrap cardstock in a rainbow type order. I then used the rainbow image stamps to add black rainbows against the colourful backgrounds.
Next I stamped and coloured the hearts before adding wink of Stella and then some embossing to give them lots of shine. I fussy cut them out and stuck them in place.
Love how bright and shiny they are! A far cry from the current hailstorm we are experiencing!
Today I have a card I made for the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge design team using lots of the little flowers from Wreath Builder Dies and the leaves from Pierced Blooms dies with a cute digital image that has been printed and coloured in my stash for ages!
I chose some papers from the stash that worked with the colours in the image and then used Daffodil Delight as the base for the card and the mat layers.
As long time readers of my blog will know I occasionally have a big die cutting session using all my scraps of cardstock and as a result I end up with pouches of the die cuts sitting there ready to use and this was the case with the flowers and the leaves.
I just picked out the ones that went with the colour scheme and it was easy to create these little flower clusters. I added in the white die cuts that I think are Memory Box dies but I’ve had them so long I have no idea and certainly don’t own the die to check. This helped soften the slightly more graphic shapes of the leaves.
I decided to fill the centre of the flowers with rose gold shimmer paint to finish them off.
I remembered to also finish the inside with some of the paper, another leaf and flower cluster and a sentiment.
Hi all … hope you are having a great day! I’ve got a tag to share with you that I made for this months UK stampers forum swap.
I went for an inky tag this time and also had a little play with texture by partially diecutting a layer with a background die.
I used all pink coloured distress oxides and there was plenty of smooshing, blending and splattering. I also added some splatters of shimmer ink too.
I added some stamping to the tag itself with the sentiment stamp and also around the edges.
Next I stamped the chess pieces and cut them out and added them.
I decided to add the following washi tape as a backing to the sentiment and then the glittery gems and the pink ribbon as contrast. I also added some staples for more texture and to keep the washi in place.
Hello! Thanks for popping over to my blog. I really like to see people coming to my little slice of the internet to see what I’m up to! Today I have a design team contribution for Addicted to Stamps and More where our theme is Birthdays! Now regular visitors will know I make a lot of birthday cards so this wasn’t difficult to do … but I decided to mix it up a little and make an easel card just because I fancied something a bit different.
I also wanted to use a new die (yes I sort of failed in my no spend quest but decided that the challenge would be that I can only buy things using the proceeds from selling craft supplies and I’m definitely within that budget still!) … so I started by partially diecutting the panel with my die and then adding that to a black background.
Next I went for the beautiful Cottage Rose stamp set and stamped the main image and coloured it with stampin blend markers. I die cut it out, then die cut another two to stick them together to give them dimension.
Next I constructed the card using black for the bottom panel and embossing the white sentiment and adding gems. I also added the sentiment on the front with the gems to make the card complete.
I love the contrast of the red rose against the black and white and also the partial die cut background.
Fun to create a different shaped card … hope you like it too.
Another design team contribution for you for Happy Little Stampers and I decided like last month to delve into the printed digital stamps pouch and see what took my fancy… and this is what I made.
A super cute mini (4×4) card featuring all the bright colours and this gorgeous dog from All Dressed Up.
I do love a dramatic black card and with the bright colours this is such fun. I added a couple of matt black dots for the embellishments but otherwise kept this pretty simple and let the image and the papers do the work!
As it is a black card I did add a panel inside with a strip of the paper to decorate.
