Vintage Bloomers...

Hello everyone,

I have two cards to show you today that have been made using some left overs scraps of paper from the Papermania Vintage Notes range of papers.  This is a fabulous range of papers, full of soft, muted shades which co-ordinate beautifully with the Papermania Vintage Notes bloomer flowers and vintage style lace, perfect for giving any Mother’s Day card or project a special touch! 

 

 

Finding time to craft is not always easy but the simplicity of these cards meant that they were very quick and easy to make - both cards together took less than 20 mintues tops!

First, I cut a piece of Bazzill French Vanilla cardstock measuring 4.5 inches x 9 inches. I then scored down the middle and folded in half to make the base card.  I then cut a piece of patterned paper from my left over scraps and stuck to the base card, using Collall All Purpose glue.  

I prepared the flowers using Hi Tack All Purpose glue, first sticking a rose to the mauve Prima Meadow Lark Essential petal and then sticking the petal to the Papermania Vintage Notes bloomer flower. I then left the prepared bloomer on one side to dry.

Meanwhile, I cut the lace and attached using Ranger Redline Wonder tape.

The leaves where die cut using the gorgeous Memory Box Lorelai Leaf – this die creates such lovely foliage! I then positioned the leaves (using the bloomer as a template) and stuck them in place. Both sentiments were computer generated, printed on to Vintage Notes paper or French Vanilla card and then positioned and stuck on the base card. I then stuck the bloomer in place.

Recipe

Papers: Docrafts PapermaniaVintage Notes

Card: Bazzill French Vanilla

Embellishments: Papermania Vintage Notes Bloomer Flowers; Papermania Vintage Notes lace; Prima Meadow Lark essential petals

Tools: MemoryBox Lorelai Leaf; Ranger Redline Wonder Tape

If you love stamping and papercrafting and haven’t yet entered our guest designer call, we'd love to hear from you! No dt experience is necessary, so why not give it ago, you really have nothing to lose! Entries close on Saturday 2nd March at 9-00a.m. GMT.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!

Geekin' It Note Book

It's Annette here today, and I've got a cute decorated note book to share today using one of the new Saturated Canary images.  I thought that this image was perfect for a note book.

I've added a bit of lace, some ribbon, a pine needle die and then I've added my text in white gel pen.  That's it.  I didn't want to add any 3D embellishments because I thought they might get pulled off if the note book was slipping in and out of a handbag, so I kept this project flat for that reason.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Geekin' it Saturated Canary
• Memory Box - Pine Needles die
• White flat lace
• Brown card

Flower Hearts

Hi,

I have a card to show you today using a stamp from the new Wild Rose Studio Love and Wedding Collection called ‘Flower Heart’. This is such a cute stamp! I was so pleased when I discovered that the shape and size of this image and some of the other new Wild Rose Studio releases too (e.g. Bella with Bouquet and Floral Hugs), lend themselves beautifully for use with the Spellbinders Lacey Squares!  

 

I cut the background panels first before mounting the image onto a separate piece of Bazzill, keeping the inside very simple... 

...then added some small pearls and voila…a lovely little card for a Birthday or Mothers’ Day!

Recipe:

Stamp: Wild Rose Studio ‘Flower Heart’

Card: Bazzill Pinkini

Embellishments: 3mm ivory pearls

Hope you have a lovely evening!

Hugs,

Janet

Cherry Blossom Baggie

Hello everyone, it's Annette here again today, but because I've still not been feeling 100% lately (still recovering from that nasty flu bug that's been going around), I've not managed to get a card made for today.  However, I do have another little project to share with you.

The Stamp Basket stocks the gorgeous Saturated Canary rubber stamps and I've been playing with one of my favourites from the new release which is Cherry Blossom.  I've stamped it onto a cotton baggie and coloured it with mainly purple marker pens. I added some sparkly accent with Sakura Stardust gel pens, and then decorated it with matching purple embellishments.

Colouring on the cotton is really difficult as the ink spreads out over the fibres, but I don't think she's turned out too bad.

Hopefully you will agree....

I've sewn ribbon around the top edge, added a crocheted flower with a button centre, a couple of die cuts and some liquid pearls.

Here's a close up of the image. You'll see the ink did run quite a lot, but it has still made a pretty little gift bag.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Cherry Blossom Saturated Canary
• Memory Box Macarena Corner Die
• Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly Die
• Liquid Pearls
• Burlap Twine in Natural
• Mixed Christmas Buttons

Pop over to The Stamp Basket to see the lovely array of products on offer.

Happy crafting and have a great week.

Heart Pockets

It's Annette here today, and I've got something a bit different to share with you.

I've been playing with a gorgeous new die, which is Heart Pocket and I've made 2 different projects using this lovely die.

My first is what I had originally planned to be some heart bunting, but in the end I only hung 2 hearts on it, one for hubby and one for me, each with our own little note on a tag inside the pocket.

I inked around the edge of the heart, punched two holes in the top, threaded some gingham ribbon through, used some little stamps to decorate the heart, and added some pearls.

Here's a piccy of one of the tags peeking out of the heart pocket....

And here's my second project.

This time I've only used one die on patterned paper, and added the ribbon to hang it from the middle of the heart.  I inked the edges in pink and added a stamped sentiment in Rich Cocoa Momento ink (which I find is softer than black), but otherwise just kept it simple with some white pearls, as the paper is quite fancy and I thought it didn't need anything else to decorate.

And here's a close up of the tag inside, with some red burlap twine so that it can be pulled out easily...

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Memory Box Heart Pocket
• Wild Rose Studio Always & Forever paper
• Rich Cocoa Momento Ink
• Pink Bazzill cardstock
• Gingham Ribbon
• Burlap Twine in Red
• 5mm, 4mm & 3mm Snow White pearls
