Stamping Up - Silent Night

A Stamping Up church stamp from the set Silent Night and a Papertrey Ink flourish from their Silent Night stamp set teamed together to make this card.

I know I can see you squirming at the thought of me making a Christmas card in March but I have a theory with this card, lets forget the stamp names and say it is a Wedding card Stamped onto Black card stock and dipped in gold and tied together in a sheer gold ribbon.

Could I get away with it?

Rubberstamp Tapestry - Regal Wines

Used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder along the bottom of the card and Nestabilities for matting and layering.

Silhouette Vine Card - Stamping Up

I tend to be leaning towards monotones this month so blue was the theme for this card, I picked a delicate shade of blue for the base card and used a stamping wheel for the vines I first used it on the bottom of the base card with versamark ink which leaves a watermark effect, I took a scrap piece of card in the same delicate blue shade and again wheeled across it with the vine stamp but this time I added white embossing powder and heat set it.

I then took a piece of white card stock and used one of the stamps from the pocket Silhouettes and stamped it in brocade blue ink the cut it out with the Nestabilitie label die. Using the Brocade blue ink I sponged around the edges of the label shape.

I then layered it on top of the card and finished by tying a white sheer ribbon and tying a bow.

Ingredients;

Blue card stock from local stockist

Stamps all by Stamping up, watercolour wheel and Pocket silhouettes

Ribbon from local stockist

Mothering Sunday - Floral Punch Craft

Started with the Sakura Flower Punch and punched lots (technical for forgot to count) then sponged colour to the edges of each flower then cut the petals away from each flower and glued them individually to a circle cut from card, started and the large layer and worked the flower to the centre where I fringed the same light pink paper sponged with a darker shade of pink on one edge then rolled it and glued it in place.

This is the card myself and Susan my friend made the other night.
