Week 11 – Blueberry Bushel

This handmade Father’s Day fun fold card features the Textured Notes stamp set, Pretty Florals dies and the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I started with a piece of the DSP and using Blending Brushes, added the ink from Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagoon to Coastal Cabana (I think there was some Lemon Lime Twist ink on my brush, oopsies). Once done I splattered some Blueberry Bushel ink for extra texture. On the centre piece, I repeated the process, but I also stamped some of the images from the Textured Notes stamp set. After I die cut some leaves in Lost Lagoon card and blended some Blueberry Bushel ink to the tips, I used the die cut negative piece to use as a stencil and added some blended leaves behind the focal image.

I added the small triangle in the bottom corner to hold the card closed. Simply slide the centre piece out to open the card, rather than creating a belly band! The main image is stamped and fussy cut with some ink blending to soften the white cardstock. The sentiment is from the Ephemera pack. These are brilliant for adding quick sentiments to your cards.

Week 50 – Soft Sea Foam

Today’s handmade card features the Textured Notes stamp set and coordinating dies and the Unbounded Love stamp set and dies and the Spotlight on Nature dies with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I adhered a piece of the DSP to the entire card front before working out my layers. I cut the darker DSP with the Textured Notes die, then stamped all of my images and sentiment on Basic White or Soft Seam Foam card. The leaves and circle element under the sentiment were fussy cut with Paper Snips and placed on the card to see where I wanted to add some extra stamped elements on the background. I used Pecan Pie and Early Espresso inks along with Pecan Pie and Soft Sea Foam Blends Markers to splatter.

I also did more splattering with my Blends on the leaves. The sentiment is stamed is Early Espresso ink and die cut with the Unbounded Love dies. I ran the edges around on my inkpad to get some more highlights.

The Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon was attached to a narrow piece of White card covered with Stampin’ Seal and folded to add lots of texture.

I added some Neutral Matte Dots to finish.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Wild Wheat.
