French Country Gardening Fun!

Hi all,

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have a card to show you today using the lovely Stampavie image called ‘Gardening Fun’ (in the summer sale!) which I’ve teamed with some gorgeous rich papers from the Graphic 45 'French Country' 6” x 6” solids and patterns pad…OMW, this is such a gorgeous pad of papers…and of course, co-ordinates perfectly with the 8” x 8” pad which is equally gorgeous! Hope you like my card!

As this is a male card, I kept it very simple adding a computer generated sentiment cut using the Whimsy 'Tab 1' die, a Memory Box ‘Forest Snail’ die cut and some Memory Box ‘Dancing Butterflies’ die cuts – great little dies for enhancing a garden themed project!

 

Here's a close up of the image coloured with copics:

Bunny Hopping

It's Annette here with my Sunday card for The Stamp Basket featuring a cute Bunny card from Wild Rose Studio called Bunny Hopping.

I really love the purple accents on this card, and the cute checked papers from Graphic 45. The filigree corner were originally die cut in white, but I coloured them with V17 Copic to match my ribbon, but then I found some purple shimmer paper in a similar colour, into which I punched a fancy border before attaching my checked paper panel.

Finally I added some pearls, and some die cut butterflies (again coloured with V17), but I only stuck the middles down, so that the wings lift up from the base card.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Bunny Hopping fromWild Rose Studio
• Cardworks Shaped Card base
• Secret Garden Patterns & Solids Papers 
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• La La Lands Filigree Corner Die
• Memory Box Dancing Butterflies
• Martha Stuart Lace Doily Border Punch
• Glossy Accents
• 5mm Purple pearls
• Hobby House 8mm Pearl Brad

Happy crafting

Baby Rosebud

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today using one of the new Crafter’s Companion Faerie Poppet stamps called ‘Baby Rosebud’. This is such a lovely image to colour…full of nostalgia…so I tried to pick a colour combination that would reflect that mood!  

 

The Faerie Poppets stamps have a range of lovely sentiments accompanying each stamp. Here I have used one from the’ Sweetest Moments’ stamp set. There are seven texts (beautiful fonts!), a corner and border stamp in the ‘Baby Rosebud’ and six sentiments plus the corner and border stamp in the ‘Sweetest Moments’ stamp set, which is really good value for money! Some of the sentiments e.g. ‘Just for You and ‘Love’ will be suitable for all occasion use, too!

...and don't forget there's a special offer of 15% off all Crafter's Companion stamps this weekend until 9-00a.m. GMT Tuesday!

Here's a close up of the image coloured with copics:

Mariella

It's Annette here today with my card for The Stamp Basket featuring Mariella from Crafter's Companion.  I've used a pretty pink and blue colour scheme to match the papers, added some blue ribbon and a blue button and also some new dies.

I've used Arianna Sprig, Dancing Butterflies and Forest Snail from Memory Box, and also my new La La Lands Heart fence which I've coloured with some brown streaks to give it a wood grain effect.  I didn't have the right shade of blue card for the flower sprig die, so I cut it out in white and coloured it with my Copics.
