Farewell, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Farewell, Lovely as a Tree

Dear Crafters,

It’s coming to the end of the school year, and many teachers come and go at this time, so here is another Masculine farewell card, using the Lovely as a Tree & Hardwood stamp sets.

I stamped the woodgrain image and them used a sponge dauber to add some extra colour and tone.

I also sponged some Marina Mist ink across the branches of the trees to give some colour to the sky behind. The font was printed on my computer.

Farewell, Stampin' Up!, Sympathy

Sympathy for a beloved pet

Hello Friends,

My project today is with a touch of sadness for a teacher colleague who lost her beloved best friend during the recent school holidays 😦

This is the card I made for her, in the hope that it may bring some comfort and lasting memories of her loved, Becks (named after David Beckham)!

He was a little white fella, so I obviously had to use the Bella & Friends stamp set. I stamped the image in black ink and then used my blender pen with some smoky slate ink to add some highlighting. Of course I needed to add a red collar with the red heart with a touch of Wink of Stella on top!

My card base is Chocolate Chip with a layer of Lemon Lime Twist, then White. The floral image is stamped with Lemon Lime Twist on the front and the inside panel is stamped off once before stamping on the card.

Farewell, Flowers, Stampin' Up!

Farewell card using Stampin’ Up!s Painted Harvest

Hello Friends,

My project today uses the Painted Harvest stamp set to create a Farewell card.

The base card is Night of Navy and the flowers are stamped in Night of Navy, Dapper Denim and Pool Party. The centre of the flowers are stamped with Soft Suede. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

I also stamped the flower and leaves on the inside of the card.

The sentiment was created on the computer and printed in Night of Navy using the RGB codes and I used the retired Word Window punch (still a favourite).

The gingham ribbon gives that country look, but still coordinating with the flowers!

Bokeh Balloons

Dear Crafters,

Tomorrow is the last day to get your Sale-a-bration orders in and take advantage of earning free product with every $90s.

So I share today another of my favourite bundles in the Occasions Catalogue, Celebrate Today!

The bundle is Celebrate Today stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Framelits Dies.

Celebrate Today

The base card is Tempting Turquoise card with a layer of Basic Black card.

The background has been created using the Bokeh Technique (pronounced like “bouquet” of flowers). I started with a piece of Whisper White card and sponged on some inks; Tempting Turquoise, Marina Mist & Wisteria Wonder. Then using a template I created (circle punch holes in a piece of Window Sheet), I used the Craft White Inkpad to add the different size circles randomly.

The balloon is die cut from black card and the banner from Tempting Turquoise card.

Be sure to stamp the inside panel of your card with another banner and even the top of the envelope!

Farewell, feminine, Handmade Cards

Petal Potpourri

Dear Crafters,

Earlier this week I shared some cards made with the 2013-2015 In Colours which will retire in a couple of months when the new Annual Catalogue is released and I will be very sad to see them go. I just love these colours!

I have used a Bundle from the Occasions Catalogue and with each bundle you can save an extra 15%. The bundle is Petal Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.

Petal Potpourri

The base card is Crisp Cantaloupe with a layer of 2013-2015 In Colours Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and punched out using the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them.

Petal Potpourri

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

I also made another one in the same colours but different patterns!!!
