Floral Congrats

Hi Friends!
Today I got a load of flowers for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I hadn't used my Trendy Spring Blooms Dies in a while, it was their time to come out for some play time for today's make. I cut some of them from a piece of watercoloured card and added them to my background which consisted of my embossed basecard (using Leaf Prints 4 standard stencil) and one of the Watercolor ATC Journaling Cards.

I finished off with a congrats die-cut sentiment and sequins.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Trendy Spring Blooms Dies, Leaf Prints 4 Standard Stencil, Watercolor ATC Journaling Cards - Ephemera

Too Much Happy

Hi Friends!

Today I got a load of love for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I blended Twisted Citron, Kitch Flamingo and Wilted Violet DI through the Evolution stencil. I then stamped my sentiment in Elegant Eggplant SU ink (sorry about the little bit of fluff which was on the stamp without me noticing until it showed up in the stamping) and attached my die-cut layered butterfly (card and vellum) to finish.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Too Much Happy, Evolution Stencil, Flutter Zen #2 Layering Dies

Spring Fling Reminder

Hi Crafty Friends!

This is a little reminder that there is still time to join the celebrations over at STAMPlorations where they are celebrating all things spring with their annual Spring Fling Blog Hop & Linky Party.

Here is my spring inspired DT make using one of their Quick Cards #3 - Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts ...

We've had so much rain and hail this month that the sentiment would need to read May Showers Bring June Flowers. At least that's what I'm hoping for after a month of April weather in May. 😀

The card itself was quite quick to make. I used a card front, added my sticker to a piece of vellum, attached it in place and finished off with a little glitter glue as edging for my sentiment panel.

A Little Key Ring

Hi Friends!

Today I got a little key ring charm for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I rather like making little useful things using the raw shapes tags. I cut a coupe of pieces of white card matching the shape of the tag. The green background was coloured with Twisted Citron DI and the leave was stamped with Twisted Citron DO for a subtle effect. I then added a little more stamping with Rustic Wilderness DO before adding the Carved Flower and the tiny nail embellishment flowers.

The one for the rainbow background was sponged with inks, sorry can't remember which ones I used as It was made a while ago. The sentiment was simply stamped onto it.

I attached both pieces of card to the tag, allowed for it to dry and sealed it with clear nail varnish. It was then finished off with some string and pearls.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's project:

Mini Rectangle Tags Raw Shapes, Art Marks 3, Carved Flowers, Beach Vibes

Spring Fling

Hi Crafty Friends!

Spring has sprung! Over at STAMPlorations they are celebrating all things spring with their annual Spring Fling Blog Hop & Linky Party.

Here is my spring inspired DT make using one of their Quick Cards #3 - Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts ...

I combined it with the snipped out cake from the Zen Doodled Birthday Cake Cover Plate Die to which I added some glitter glue for a spring dew look. A mix of stamps and die-cut were used for my sentiment.

These artsy card fronts are perfect for use on their own or altering with stamps and die-cuts, the possibilities are endless. I think I might just turn some of them into a little journaling book. 😀
