Beautiful Two

 

I LOVED the look of Donna Ross' card with her layering squares and beautiful flowers! I wanted to create a card for my own using the supplies I had. Thanks Donna for your inspiration!

My little brother and his wife's anniversary is in December... so I wanted something with her wedding colors and snowflakes. 

The background is from the Wintry 3D embossing folder set. I didn't have the stitched squares dies, so I used the 'Layering Squares' (the scallops and used my stylus to make them 'pop').

The flowers are stamped in Real Red ink... Just the second layer is stamped off on a scrap piece before stamping on the cardstock to get a softer color. Also the flowers have 'Wink of Stella' on them to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Happiness For Two

 

I loved the layout from the card Cary and Gill created (2BigGirlsCrafting). Thanks Cary and Gill!

I chose the color combo Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue and Wild Wheat. To get the flowers just right... I inked one stamp and stamped it fully inked to the paper, then with the other stamp, I stamped off on a scrap piece first before stamping onto the flower to get that two-tone effect. Same ink.

I masked each flower (with a scrap piece of paper) to show depth.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the blooms to make them shine.

Autumn Wedding

 

My neighbor and friend needed an Autumn Wedding card for a wedding she was going to, and couldn't find anything that she loved at the stores. So she asked me... I love making cards... and Fall/Autumn is my favorite season, so I made a few for her to choose from. I know she will have a hard time choosing from these three. They turned out lovely.

I used the 'All About Autumn' DSP (Designer Series Paper) on all of them. Now the paper is 6x6, so I had to get a bit creative to make them to fit on a 5x7 card. I chose to split the paper in half and place a 'belly band' around the center part to conceal it. (Clever- right!)

The sentiment for each is from the 'Beautiful Bouquet'  stamp set.

One has the 'Detailed Bands' dies on it.

Another has the 'Gorgeous Garden' die background piece with 'Autumn Leaves' dies.

And, the last one has the 'Gorgeous Garden' die background piece with the Two-Tone Flora dies.

To add sparkle to the ones with the 'Gorgeous Garden' dies, I added 'Wink of Stella' to both the leaves and flowers.

The one with the Two-Tone Flora stamp set is stamped in Crumb Cake, but stamped off on a scrap piece first before stamping onto the cardstock to get a softer look.

Artistic Flora

 

I saw this card on Pinterest... not sure who designed it, but wanted to show where I received inspiration for my card. If this card is yours...thank you!

Now, I did change up a few things to make the card my own. I didn't like the look of plain black buds or plain yellow buds, but the layered buds of black and then yellow really make this card pop. Also, I added 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers and buds to make them shine.

Irresistible Camellia

 

WOW! Let me just tell you... this card took a while to do, yet is too adorably cute! I decided to try my hand at the 'Pop-up Vase card. There are several tutorials on YouTube out there, so I won't go into detail here. (The Pop-up part is inside the card.)

It took a bit of time to do, as the scoring of the Designer Series Paper kept ripping on me, so I added a reinforced piece on the other side of the 'Vase' part. Also, you definitely need to use heavy-duty double-sided sticky tape (or tear n tape) to attach to the card base. I didn't have any, so tried just Stampin' Seal+ first... only to have to utilize the Tombow liquid glue instead.

I added a Wink of Stella to all the blooms that you see here!

Thanks for looking!

Flora Punch

 

I fell in love with Christy Gridley's simple yet elegant card! I just knew I had to create one of my own. I changed a few things up to make it my own.... and to utilize the Two-Tone Flora stamps to go along with the coordinating dies (the same name). Now, I think the card is more suited for a wedding card than a birthday card... but... It'll be a birthday card for my wonderful neighbor and friend.

Wild Greetings

 

With the 'Wild & Sweet' stamp set... I just knew I had to have it! I love raccoons, my best friend loves koalas and my aunt loves pandas! What a combo in this set! I fell in love with it immediately.

Since each stamp has that one image on it, I looked to Pinterest to dress my card up a bit, and I found Chris' card here! 

The striped DSP (Designer Series Paper) is called 'Petal Passion'.

I added a sprig of leaves on my card (similar to what Chris did, but only because I smudged the stamped image of the Panda and needed to cover that space. Clever, I know!

Calming Flora

 

Such a lovely card from Lesley's Stampin' Ground (on her website).  I knew I had to create one of my own. Here, I used the sentiment from 'Calming Camellia' stamp set and the new 'Two-Tone Flora' stamp set with it's coordinating dies. Although, I do have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the huge die background piece... it's way to big for the 5.5 x 4.25 cards that I made... so I had to adjust my card size to 5.75 x 4.25. I'd still like to have more of the card base color showing around the edges of my cards.

I chose the colors Starry Sky, Highland Heather and So Saffron with Old Olive. I stamped the darker image first. With the Two-tone stamping, with the lighter stamped image, I inked the stamp and stamped on a piece of paper before stamping on my project. Beautiful effect!

I added a Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a peek!
