Vintage Rose - Flower Craft

I had a creative day and bought a leaf punch that I thought would make the perfect flower so I set to and after a little bit of tweeking here and there and a little bit of water colour for the centre this is what I came up with.

The finished base card is 15 x 15cm.

by clicking on the image below you will be able to see a closer view of the rose.

Sweet pea - Flower Craft

This is another card for the North Yorkshire Meet, hopefully we will have time to complete the whole card but if not I'll have everything prepared to make up the finished card and we will make sure the flowers are finished even if the pieces need to be added at home.

I added score line with the Scor-Pal to a 14 x 14cm card and rounded the corners added some gems to opposite corners and tied a ribbon through the centre of the card.

I cut 2 different sizes of circles with the nestabilities and added the made up sculptured flowers to the top of the circles and adhered them to the card.

Floral Frenzy

I hit lucky ith this stamp set as a friend managed to buy 2 sets by accident, It is Floral Frenzy by Papertrey Ink.

The black base card finished size is 15 x 15cm.

I used simple layering with a pale lemon card stock and used the threading water border punch by Fiskers on all of the layering card, I threaded a lemon ribbon through the holes made by the border punch and stamped the flowers in Black versafine ink.

Christmas Park

Another Penny Black tree stamp named Christmas Park stamped in red ink onto a 14 x 14cm white card then I embossed the middle section using a cuttlebug border folder under that I scored 2 lines using the Scor-Pal and tied a red ribbon around this.

I then stamped the word Joy (my own stamp) in red ink and finished with a few red nail head bling.

Christmas Card - Penny Black Fantasy

I Just love this Penny Black Fantasy stamp so I thought I'd give it another airing.

I stamped the tree onto black cardstock I used paint as the medium and acrylic white paint squished into an old white ink pad, it still was not as white as I wanted so.... not wanting to give up on it I traced the design with a white gelly roller pen. The snowflakes on the base card however are stamped with the acrylic paint I think you'd have to agree it is still whiter than a white craft ink pad would be.

I stamped the Peace (my own stamp) in black versafine ink onto white card then layered all the pieces onto a black 14 x 14cm base card added some bling to the snowflakes and the Peace then finished by adding a little stickles glue to the tree.

Homestead Christmas card

The scenery stamp used in this card is Serendipity Cling Stamps - Winter Homestead and can be found at Joanna Sheen the Joy and Peace words are my own stamps.

The base card is an A5 finished card in navy blue.

I stamped the winter scene in versafine black ink then in the same ink stamped Joy above and Peace below the scene, using Cut'n'dry foam I sponged nay ink around the edges of the card graduating this into the center, I used stickles glitter glue to outline the first letter in each word and used an iridescent glue on the winter scene to mimic snow I used a heavy lace trim to make the snowflake and added stickles to make it twinkle and to finish I added a white ribbon.

Paper Blossoms - 1st North Yorkshire meet Card

On November 1st I'm taking a craft class in North Yorkshire in the morning we will be doing a Christmas card with some interesting stamping techniques and in the afternoon I will be teaching some paper flowers from punches showing how to build them up and shape the petals and leaves. I thought this would be the perfect flower to start with making 4 to add to a card would help to develope their own technique of shaping.

Quick Card

You know how it is... sometimes you just need that quick card well thats just what this one is, I needed a card for someone who hates pink but loves flowers "eeek" no pressure there then.

So the saying goes "blue and green should never be seen unless there's something in between" does white and glitter count? lets hope so.

A simple background paper with a couple of matching die cut flowers a blue base card a piece of green cardstock to layer cuttlebug embossed down one side, a pretty ribbon tied at the top stickles glitter glue to outline parts and a heat gun to drie the glitter glue quick and there we have it.
