Trio of Flowers finale

And finally ...

A take on the first of my trio of cards but using squares for the images.  I've round 2 of the 4 corners of each square too which gives it a nice effect.

This card also used the Brick Wall embossing folder and Hello Honey Striped Cotton Ribbon, another sentiment from Cottage Greetings which is cut out using Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits.

I've fussy cut a couple of the flowers in Hello Honey to add too.

Trio of Flowers Pt2

And the second card in my trio:

I've used the same colour suite but this card has no Melon Mambo.

I've used some Neutral Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper in the background and then a layer with Watercolour Wash stamped on it.

Lots of Labels Framelits are used for the layers and finished with Crumb Cake Stitched Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread, Paper Piercing with Updated Essentials and another sentiment from Cottage Greetings.

Wild About Flowers Trio

We have a Bloomin' Buds weekend away this week and have all chosen a stamp set to make 3 cards with.  We then provide all the card, stamps etc for everyone else to make our 3 cards so will come home with a great selection.

I've chosen the set Wild About Flowers and this is my first card:

It is pretty much a case of a card I saw on Pinterest and I have made it in the past but this time have added 3 coloured circles behind the images to make them pop a little more.

The sentiment is from Cottage Greetings which is a lovely font.

I've used the scoreboard to mark some lines on a second layer of Crumb Cake and added some Linen Thread.

Colours used are:
Old Olive
Tangelo Twist
Hello Honey
Melon Mambo

Butterfly Extravaganza

This card is mainly Stampin' Up! so I hope I can get away with adding it on here!

The card base and white embossed card here are actually Anna Marie card because this is a 7x7" card but the gorgeous images are all Stampin' Up!

I've used the in colours of Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Old Olive.

All other products used:
Watercolor Wings stamp set
Wild About Flowers stamp set
Awesomely Artistic stamp set
Butterfly Basics stamp set

Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits
Butterflies Thinlits
Bold Butterfly Framelits

Extra-Large Oval Punch
Bitty Butterfly Punch
Brick Wall Embossing Folder
Vellum Cardstock

This is probably one of those cards that you don't want to add up all the products used - but I am really pleased with it for a special card.

I finished the butterflies with some rogue pearls too!

More Wild About Flowers

Another thanks to Teri for this idea which again showcases the Wild About Flowers stamp set.

Colours I've used are Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant.

The background stamp is the new Watercolour Wash stamp which is a great space filler.

I've cut the image out using one of the new Lots of Labels framelits and layered it on the largest framelit which I've also pricked with the accompanying template.  The flowers are stamped out again, fussy cut and added with 3D pads for a bit of extra dimension.

The sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings set - it's a lovely font isn't it?

Don't forget I have an order going in next week if you 'need' anything.
Jill

Thank you flowers

Apologies again as I meant to add a card before the weekend but got very distracted by our demo sneak peek at the new seasonal catalogue.  I'm a demo because I love the products anyway but the catalogue is fabulous - get saving the pennies!!

As promised in my last post I've used Wild about Flowers again but the full stamp so you can see some of the lovely foliage.  This card was CASED from Teri's Facebook page, she always has lovely cards and you can see many more here on her blog.

I've used different colours - still trying to be more adventurous which you can be as the Stampin' Up! colours go so well together.

For this card I've used Watermelon Wonder and Tip Top Taupe.  The light in the picture makes the Watermelon look a bit more orange than it really is but awful weather isn't great for photos!

I've used some paper from the in colour DSP stack and my new Lots of Labels framelits for the image, layer and the teeny sentiment.  The new updated Essentials paper piercing pack also includes these framelit shapes and adds a little something to the layer.  The Thank You is from Banner Banter.

Finished with some of the matching Dotted Lace Trim tied with a little thread from the white jute ribbon.

Wild about flowers

Hello to any new viewers I met at the weekend, it was super to come across Stampin' Up fans I hadn't met before.

I'm off to meet up with some of the Bloomin' Buds in Poole tomorrow which is always a lovely morning.

This is the card I've made for a swap this month which was another Pinterest steal:

The card base and extra layer are Crumb Cake.

The raised layer has some score lines from Simply Scored on it which I think is really effective.

I've said this before but this new stamp set is brilliant!!
It's called Wild About Flowers and is a photopolymer set with 12 stamps in.  It was soooo easy and quick to use.  There are 3 different 'stems' and 3 different sets of flower heads which go with a particular stem.  Because you can see through the stamps it was a delight to use so the flowers sit where they should.

It was quicker to do all the prep and stamping for 9 of these than it was to stick them all together.

I've wrapped some linen thread around the card under the score lines and added a little bow.  The flowers are cut out using a 1 3/8" punch.

The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set and stamped in Early Espresso.

I hope this has tempted you - I'll try to do a card next showing off the full stems on a card.
