Flourishing Phrases Birthday Card

RETIRED STAMPS FOR SALE HERE

Happy Monday!

My card today is a birthday card for a lady who loves flowers.

I haven't played with Flourishing Phrases for a while so got it out today.

I also used Butterfly Gala and the love die cuts in the background are from

the Springtime Impressions die. Of course my trusty embossing folder,

Pinewood Planks had to be used as well.

A PDF is available via my newsletter or by emailing me.

Varied Vases Birthday Card

My card today is a commission for a lady to give to her friend.

I hadn't played with Varied Vases for ages so wanted to have a go

and this is what I came up with.

How I made this card

1. My base is an a5 card so my mat measures 5 1/2" x 8".

I cut this piece at 2" down and turned to used other side.

I laid them together again, added double sided tape to join and covered

with the ribbon.

I adhered this to my base card.

2. Cut 3 pieces of the cake crumb side measuring 1" x 2 1/2" long

and punch tails at the bottom of each.

3. Cut a whisper white rectangle in the 3 1/2" wide rectangle die.

Stamp the sentiment at bottom using memento ink.

Make yourself some masks of your chosen vases using sticky notes.

Stamp onto your whisper white using masks before stamping back vases.

Punch 3 in matching papers and colour back ones using old olive blends.

4. Using the masks again stamp your chosen flowers in place

and colour using blends.

Colour area around the vases in grey blends.

5. Apply dimensions to back of whisper white rectangle.

Before sticking in place, position your 3 tails as in photo above.

6. Add some faux stitching using a chalk pen to all crumb cake areas.

7. add a matching bow to top.

8. Either stamp or type your greeting and punch out using the

classic label punch. Add to card using dimensionals.

Available as a PDF with my newsletter.

Amazing Life St.Patrick's Day card

St.Patrick's Day is not that far away and I like to post a card

to my brother and his wife in England.

I kept it nice and simple which I know Tony will like.

St.Patrick's Day is traditionally the first spring cut for the garden,

we have our spring parade on St.Patrick's Day and it's usually

our first trip to Carlingford or Omeath of the year!!

And of course, we wear GREEN!

How I made my card:

1. Mat your card with olive green card stock.

2. Cut a whisper white mat to fit this.

3. Stamp out the 4 leaf clover stamp in olive green and then cut out

3 leaves with no stem and colour using blends.

4. Using a stem stamp (I used one from Varied Vases)

position the shamrocks along the bottom, don't stick down.

Stamp a stem to lead up to each shamrock.

5. When happy, stick the shamrocks in place.

6. Using a piece of Whisper White, draw a straight line

to line up your letters.

7. Start with the St.Patrick's Day first, leaving room above to add Happy.

8. Using old olive Stamp each letter, using the line to keep you straight.

9. Stamp the HAPPY using the first P as your centre letter,

again with a pencil line to keep you straight.

10. When dry, rub out your pencil lines.

11. Mat onto a piece of Old Olive card and add to your card.

Varied Vases.....thanks

So I was dithering a bit with this card today as I wasn't sure what way to go.

I picked the stamp set randomly, with nothing in mind, just to push myself.

It's called

Varied Vases and comes with a matching punch,

which is pretty cool.

I teamed it up with Garden Impressions dsp and very vanilla card stock.

The ruffled ribbon is sooooo pretty. I love working with it.

I raised the vases on dimensionals and the flowers where coloured

using blends.

The inks I used are lemon lime twist, grapefruit grove and memento black.

I followed the design inside too, and have a matching very vanilla envelope!
