Lovely As A Tree

The Lovely as a Tree stamp set by Stampin Up was used for this card, stamped in Perfect Plum ink then I used a damp brush to blend in the little mounds under the trees and finished with stickles ice glitter glue scattered over the image to make it pop, I rounded the corners then used the Martha Stewart Flourish punch at the top and bottom edge then mounted it onto a large labels die cut (Nestabilities).

The base card was stamped with Fancy Flourishes stamp set.

I finished with a ribbon and some pearls.

Attention to detail...

After stamping the base card using Fancy Flourishes I added a couple of self adhesive pearls

Hey there Chickadee

This cute little card was made with a stamp set especially designed for the use of buttons Everyday Button Bits by Papertrey Ink , I just fell in love with the chicks.

I stuck the buttons onto the card using pinflair gel after cutting out the heart shapes with the Nestabilities Dies.

The embossing was done with the Birds and Swirls A2 Cuttlebug folder and the backing paper is by Stampin Up it is the hostess gift.

All tied together with a sheer white ribbon.

Attention to detail...

papertrey Ink have thought of everything with this Everyday Button Bits stamp set even down to the tiny wings. you can see with this picture that I used 2 buttons for each chick although in reality you only need one.

Friends Till the End

I used the Friends Till the End stamp set by Papertrey Ink to make this card, I love the big statement that the big bloom makes.

I masked off the base card to leave a broad strip then stamped the big bloom in black ink across the strip. I then added thin black ribbon to the top and bottom of this strip.

I added the red ribbon to the top of the card(see below for details) then on separate card I stamped the bloom and the leaves coloured in Copic Sketch Markers then cut these out and added to the left corner of the card with foam pads.

Lastly I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the card with black ink.

Attention to detail...

I used a very strong double sided tape across the top of the card then pleated the ribbon making it a little higgle de piggildy so that it didn't look uniform.

Flower coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. A pearl button and a few black diamond stickles were added to make the center pop.
