Floral Boutique Cards

Hi Crafters!

Today I have some easy layout cards for you, using the gorgeous Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper (DSP) & the One Big Meaning stamp set - I just love the pretty font of this Thank You & it's the perfect size for the 2" Circle Punch. It also fits the Stitched Shapes Framelits really well. For these cards, I've used a Night of Navy card base & I have stamped the sentiment on Whisper White with Night of Navy ink.


This is actually a layout that I use really frequently, cos it's easy & pretty! Also, you can just use up whatever supplies you have on hand & the cards always look great! Here I've used a range of supplies including: Gold Metallic Thread, Metallic Sequin Assortment, Delicate Doilies, Basic Pearl Jewels and Metallic Doilies. But there are so many combinations you could come up with!


On the inside, I have used a layer of Whisper White cardstock. The images & sentiment come from the Flower Patch stamp set & have been inked in Night of Navy & Marina Mist. 


I have also created a video for the making of these cards. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you never miss out on my Tips & Tricks! xx

Guy Greetings Cards

Hi Crafters!

Today I've made up a big bunch of cards using a quarter of a pack of the Urban Underground Designer Series Paper (DSP) along with the Guy Greetings & Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets by Stampin' Up! I have made 24 cards with 1/4 pack of DSP using 3" strips.

To be honest, I'm not usually a big fan of Delightful Dijon, but I really love it in this paper/colour combo & I love how these cards have turned out.


I have used a 3" strip of DSP for each card, taking the layout from an idea I gave on a previous YouTube video about using the 6x6" paper stacks - rather than cutting the DSP to a full card front & having a small left over strip, cut it all in half & make two 3" card fronts from each page for less wastage & then you don't have to come up with ideas on how to use all those smaller strips!


For these cards, I have Silver Heat Embossed the images & sentiments from the Guy Greetings stamp set onto Basic Black Cardstock & cut out with the largest square die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, adhered to a 2-7/8" square of Silver Foil Cardstock with Dimensionals. The card base is Basic Black with the 3" strip of Urban Underground DSP placed to the left to leave a black border on the right.

If you're really careful, you can get 12 large squares from a sheet of A4 cardstock using the Stitched Shape Framelits.

 
TIP: to get a really great heat embossed image & sentiment, first wipe over the cardstock with the Embossing Buddy & then stamp your sentiment/image using Versamark. Quickly cover in your choice of colour of Embossing Powder & then set with the Heat Tool. Once cooled, rub the cardstock on a soft, clean piece of material to remove any excess Embossing Buddy powder or Embossing Powder.


I have mixed up the insides so there are a few of each per design with different sentiments from the Guy Greetings stamp set & I have used two of the Gorgeous Grunge images in Smoky Slate, to match the silver on the front. You could also use Basic Gray or Delightful Dijon, which coordinates with the DSP.




The Love You sentiment is from the Bloomin' Love stamp set. I thought these cards might also make great alternative masculine Valentines or anniversary cards.

And a special birthday card for my brother: World's Greatest Tool, no I mean World's Greatest Brother! Hehehehe! He'll enjoy the pun :P

You can see the lovely edging from the Stitched Shapes Framelits a bit clearer in this picture.

Watercolor Wishes Card Kit

Hi Crafters!

For those of you who've been following me for a while or know me personally, you'll know how much I love, love, love these card kits from Stampin' Up! You'll also know I'm in the later stages of pregnancy & my energy levels have been zapped! Well, I needed a bunch of cards & what a great (& easy!) way to get them all done, than to make up what was left of my current Watercolor Wishes kit - yes, I've been through a few of these haha!!

There are always a bunch of embellishments left over, so I have added extras to all of these cards & I am having a draw with my team for the left overs eg stamp set, ink, sequins, dimensionals, clear block & washi tape etc, so they're all madly posting pics of their creations on our team page as each pic gets them an entry! It's great to see what they're making & also means I can buy a whole new card kit haha!


I sent this card out to welcome a new team member with a small gift. I've been lucky to have a few new team members join this month, but the joining promotion is AMAZING - TWO FREE STAMP SETS on top of your kit! See further down for more info, I want to share this deal with you, too! xx


I used these ones to celebrate a team member getting the position at work she wanted, for a girlfriend's birthday & for a couple who've just announced they're expecting.


I've kept the first card here for my customer mail out at the end of the month. At the end of each month, I send a thank you card & a small gift to everyone who's ordered from me that month. I sent the other off to a friend who's just given birth to a baby girl.

I have entered this second card into this week's Case This Card #CTC021 & Crazy Crafters Team Highlights - vote for your favourites from 7.30pm Friday, 27 January.





I've also kept the first card here for my end of month customer mail out & sent the other to welcome another new team member aboard.


I sent these two cards to the last two weeks' winners from my Case This Card Challenge with a small gift.

I've added this set to this week's Paper Players #PP328 Challenge - Flowers.


I used the first card as a sympathy card & I used the second card as a birthday card for a girlfriend.

As you can see, there are plenty of options for these cards. They're a really lovely set with beautiful colours & sentiments. There are two kits to choose from for $61 each. The card kits come with everything you need to put them together, except glue. I have used Tombow Multipurpose Glue. The card kits make 20 cards. Not all cards in the kit were shown here today, but it you click the link below you can see them all in my shop.
