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.

In Bloom

In Bloom stamp set by Papertrey Ink, I love how this has come together.

A bit of sponging, a bit of water colouring and a bit of matting and layering.

Of Course once I'd finished one then I couldn't stop and had to make another.

Shooting Star - Congratulations Card

I thought I would end showcasing the stamp set that I will be adding as blog candy tomorrow by giving a variation on the Baby thank you cards that I made, my reasoning behind this is that I also want to give the cards that I have made with the stamp set away too and as the first I made were for baby Jack thank you cards I couldn't add this to the prize.

please come back tomorrow for the chance to win this fabulous set.

Attention to Detail...

I used the wording to make the star look like a shooting star. because the polymer stamps are flexible it allows you to manipulate the stamp in this instant I curved the wording stamp

Visa-Versa Card

Another card showcasing the stamp set that I will be giving away this week, I hope you are following all of this ha ha ha.

I started this by playing with colours and being unsure which one to use, I stamped out the flowers and build them up then couldn't decided which one to use, I got out the plum card and folded it into a base card, still very unsure that I would use it, I then reached for the pink and placed it on top of the plum to place the flowers on top to see which colour would work best, so there is was... they both worked so I combined the two.

Attention to detail...

The flowers were stamped 4 times in each colour then cut out in layers stuck on layer on top of the other using foam pads then added a pearl for the middle of the flower.

The ribbon was a length of each colour folded in half one looped through the other one and pulled across the card then securely fastened with tape one the inside of the card, as the base card is plum coloured I cut out a piece of the pink and covered the taped ribbon inside.

Welcome Little One...

This is the 4th card from Papertrey Ink exclusive Everyday Classics Stamp Set, I hope you are seeing the endless possibilities that this set gives.

This time in aqua and chocolate colours a Welcome Little One.

The larger bird was stamped then an oval Nestabilitie die was used to cut out the image, I punched 2 small holes at the top of the oval and tied and bowed a ribbon through the holes.

Attention to detail... As you can see from this image I stamped an extra wing for the larger bird cut around it and used a foam pad to make it pop.

Sending a Happy Hello

This is the 3rd card from the Everyday Classic stamp set that I will be giving away this week, I wanted to show just how versatile the stamp set is and also give the lucky winner some ideas on how it can be used.

Toady's card is stamped in black versafine ink the main image is cut out using Nestabilities circles one plain white and one scalloped in black card.

The tiny tea cups are stamped directly onto the base card, then a polka dot paper then another layer using the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, then the black ribbon tied in a knot then the main image on top fixed with foam pads.

A close up picture of the Tea cup and sentiment stamp, one of the many things I love about Papertrey Ink stamps is the clarity you get with all of them, even the stamped words come out crisp and clean every time.

Attention to detail.... Each of the main images in the stamp set has a younger sibling a Mini Mo if you like! or in sensible talk a miniature replica,

In this card it is a miniature tea cup stamped 3 times along the bottom edge of the card.

With a Cherry on Top

This is another card made with the Everyday Classics stamp set by Papertrey Ink as I will be giving away a set of these stamps this week I thought I would show a few more examples of what can be achieved with the set.

Today's theme is very sweet! Both the cupcake and the sentiment are from the above stamp set. I used Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet inks, ribbon, papers & cards all of which can be found at Papertrey Ink Nestabilities Labels dies and cute cherry brads.

With a cherry on the top.... although the cupcake stamp does come with a tiny cherry stamp to add to the top I had these mega cute brads that I thought just fit the bill nicely.
