Basket For You

Dear Crafters,

Tell me, who doesn’t love flowers? said no one ever!

Today’s card uses the Hostess Set, Basket For You. I have to admit, I didn’t really look twice at this set until I saw a card by one of my downline, Kimberly, who made a stunning card with this set.

Basket For You, Petal Burst TIEF, #stampinup, DIY,  2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card

I started by embossing the Flirty Flamingo card with the Petal Burst Textured Impression Embossing folder. Next I stamped the basket image and coloured it with the new 2016-2018 Stampin’ Write Markers and the basket was watercoloured using the Aquapainter.

I used the oval framelits for the main image (and paper pierced the edge) and deco label framelits to die cut the Peach behind it. These were adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment was cut out with paper snips!

I even stamped a small flower on the inside of the card and on the envelope (which I forgot to put in the photo!) oops.

Dear Crafters,

Made With Love Baby Girl Card #stmpinup

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is a Sketch Challenge JAI#279.

I am loving using the Go Wild Designer Series Paper at the moment and thought it was perfect to use for this baby girl card using the stamp set, Made With Love.

Made With Love Baby Girl Card #stmpinup

I began with the colour scheme of Tip Top Taupe, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. A variety of circle punches in coordinating colours, helps create the focal point.

I water coloured the image to give it the softness required. Paper Piercing has also added a lovely border around the pink card for added interest.

Black & Vanilla

Morning Stampers,

Don’t you just love the classic style of Black and White… well almost white, in this instance I have used Very Vanilla!

I have also used the new Core’dinations Card, embossed it with Modern Mosaic TIEF then sanded it with the Stampin’ Sanding System.

I also used the Paper Piercing Tools to add a border around the Very Vanilla panel, it just gives it a bit more interest!

I think the rest of the card is fairly self explanatory but do leave a comment what you think of this card.

Masculine

Vintage Masculine Card

Good Morning Crafters,

I am having a good run on Masculine Cards at the moment and really enjoying the challenge.

This card was so simple but I think very effective and I love the grungy sponging around the edges to give that vintage look!

It also uses only two colours; very vanilla & crumb cake!
