Teddy with Present

It's Annette back here today with a card which features a new Wild Rose Studio image from The Stamp Basket called Teddy with Present.  He would make a lovely Mother's day image, but today I've used him for a birthday card theme.

I've used some gorgeous papers called Lace Butterflies from Crafty Impressions which are pink and aqua coloured, so I'm in seventh heaven with this set!  I'm also using a new Memory Box Norrland flower die for the first time and I'm really liking it.  The petals were cut in white card, then I chalked up the centres with pink shimmer chalk and curled the petals around my paint brush handle to give them some dimension.  To finish them off I popped a coloured pearl in the middle.

The other die cuts were also cut in white card and then coloured with a pink Copic to match my colour scheme.  The pearls were easy to colour too, because they are on a clear plastic sheet so they don't move around when you colour them to match your theme.  It's a great way to buy your pearls as then you can colour them any shade you like depending on the colours you're using on each project.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Wild Rose Studio Teddy with Present
• Cardworks Shaped Card base
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• Crafty Impressions Lace Butterflies Papers
• Memory Box Norrland Flower die
• Memory Box Whimsical Flourish
• Vintage Style Ribbon
• Glossy Accents
• 5mm, 4mm & 3mm Snow White pearls

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

My Creativity LIFE!

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
