Celebrate Sunflowers

I want to share one of my favourite suites from the annual catalogue - Celebrate Sunflowers.  I made this card that I think really showcases both the sunflower stamp and metal dies.


I cut out multiple sunflowers in whisper white cardstock and adhere them to the card base - did you notice the different sized card? It is 7.5" x 7.5" and scored at 3.75", I will confess, I cut the wrong size but I actually like how it turned out!


Adhering the die cuts can be time consuming - dabbing liquid glue all over the die cut.  I watched a video recently from another demonstrator - sorry can't recall who - where she used a silicone mat and sponge. You dab the liquid glue with the sponge on the the die cut, I did notice you have to wipe the silicone mat between each die cut or the silicone mat gets sticky.  You should try it out, I love how quick and easy it is.

I then stamped the sunflower image using mango melody ink and used stampin' blends to colour in the image - I used mango melody, daffodil delight and soft suede.  I finished it off with some wink of stella to add some sparkle. I stamped the sentiment in early expresso and added some bumblebee ribbon and enamel dots.

I made another one, this time using magenta madness, and the card is slight longer.  The measurements are 9" x 7.5" . . .

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Keeping it simple

Today I want to share a project I made this past weekend using scraps of DSP, and a few other elements to make a simple but fun card.  The card would be perfect to make in bulk to send to friends, coworkers and family for the holidays. I started off by using my scraps of Heartwarming Hugs DSP,  I had quite a few smaller pieces from another project I had made (I will share that one another day!) which were perfect to cut into 1" x 3.25" strips. I really like the DSP, perfect colours for the holidays and modern patterns.   I used Pear Pizzazz for the cardbase, added a real red and whisper white layers.  I randomly adhered the DSP strips to the card and stamped the sentiment in real red ink using a stamp from the Christmas Means More stamp set. I cut out two bells from the Sounds of the Season dies using silver and red foil - I cut them out using my new Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine which I totally love, so smooth to use. I used the oval dies to cut out the sent...
