Thank you | Layered Fresh Flowers

 A fresh colour palette inspired my spring themed thank you card.


I cut a deep purple A2 panel and stuck it to a card base. I cut a scalloped edge on a snippet of vellum, and stuck it to the top of the card. I cut the flowers from bits of mixed media paper, coloured them with Zig markers and added glossy accents to the centres. I stuck the flowers under the vellum. I cut the sentiment from snippets of media paper and white card stock, and stacked the layers. I added a little colour to the sentiment and stuck it at the top to finish off.

Supplies:

Memory Box - flowers and sentiment

Your Next Stamp - scalloped die

Happy birthday

Today's card features an apron die that's transformed into a dainty party dress.


I started with a piece of mustard card stock, embossed it with a basket weave texture and stuck it to a card base. I cut the apron die pieces and bow from snippets of patterned and mixed media paper. The bow is from a balloon die set, and it was just the right size to add some flair to the dress. I coloured the straps, waist band and bow with markers and assembled the image. The print is quite bold, so I added a snippet of pink lace at the bottom. I stuck the dress to the card. I fussy cut a sentiment from the patterned paper pad and added it at the top left. I used some pink pearls to embellish the sentiment and the dress and complete the card.

Warmest wishes


I started by creating the background with markers on a piece of mixed media paper and added this panel to a card base. I splattered white paint to add some interest. I cut the tree lines from bits of white card stock and added them to the card. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom. I die cut the snowflakes from snippets of white glitter card and stuck them to the sky. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the images and stuck them to the card.

Love

Inspired by an eclipse style card, I combined ink blending with heat embossing to create today's love themed card.

love card

On an A2 white panel, I blended some DO inks at the top. I stamped and embossed some flowers in white and used a scalloped die to add a fancy edge. I chose a large alpha die and cut the letters from the panel and snippets of white card stock. I stacked the letters, adding the blended letters at the top. I stuck the panel to a card base and added the letters in place, adding the counters for the "o" and "e". As a finishing touch, I stuck some white gems on the card.

Made with love

 Hello crafty friend, I hope you're having a great start to the new year. I'm sliding in at the last minute with a friendship themed card.


I used a piercing die to add a heart pattern to a baby blue piece of card stock, and stuck this to an A2 card base. I die cut several of the mini postage stamps from several shades of pink and stacked the layers. I stamped images on the inner panels with a set from Sweet and Sassy Stamps. I stuck the frames on the card base then added the inner panels. I stuck 3 clay heart in the centre to fill the space to complete the card.

 Hello and welcome, I hope you're having an enjoyable weekend. Today's card is floral themed with lots of die cutting and water colouring.


I started by die cutting the layering florals and leaves from some snippets of mixed media paper. I coloured them with Tombow pens and adhered the layers. On an A2 panel I scribbled some yellow marker, spread it with a paint brush and added texture with a pierced hearts die. I felt the background was too bright so I splattered it and the florals with white paint.  I cut a smaller rectangle, added a scalloped edge and stuck this to the background panel. I die cut the letters, stacked several layers and coloured the top with a red marker. I stuck the letters to the smaller panel and added the roses and leaves to complete the card.
