graphic 45 A proper gentleman
While on the subject of mens cards, which I think we were, here are a couple of quick makes, made while I had my graphic 45 papers out. the images are from graphic 45 A proper Gentleman, and although you can’t see it in the photo, I cut the same images twice, and 3’d them on top with foam pads. the embossing folder I used on the background layer is Cuttlebug clockworks, and I wrapped the whole layer with some string for a but more texture.Til tomorrow…
Bo Bunny happy Tails
Here are the last two in the Bo Bunny Happy tails series. Again, no further embellishments other than the patterned paper and some fussy cutting. the cardstock used is stampin Up. I hope you have enjoyed this different type of card, and tomorrow we will start a whole new series! til tomorrow…
Bo Bunny happy Tails
I purchased just a few sheet of Bo Bunny happy tails – One for fussy cutting, and a couple for matting, I liked that they were different to the usual choices! Here I matted a couple of pieces of paper, and fussy cut a couple of dogs which i attached with foam pads for some height. already looking forward to the weekend – it can’t come quick enough this week! til tomorrow….
Vintage card – elements of style
If I had to pick a favourite style it would be vintage, though this one has a lot of shabby chic involved too! a big list of products used – here goes – stampin up cardstock – very vanilla, crumbcake and blushing bride. The embossing folder is stampin up lacy brocade and all the trim is also stampin up. the stamp set is Elements of style ( stampin up) and for the flower I punched out 4 circles, sprayed them with water and scrunched them up! the brad used is a stampin up vintage brad. I distressed all the edges just to add to the shabbiness! I also only coloured a couple of the flowers on the stamped image.Tea is cooking as we speak, so must be off… til tomorrow…..
Serene Sillouettes stamp set
straight away I want to say this was not my idea – I saw it on pinterest, but had to try it! I liked the idea of using my oval die to use as a stencil. I stamped the serene sillouttes stamp( Stampin Up) in versamark ink onto white cardstock, and white embossed it, die cut and oval and used what would normally be the waste to pop over the card and inked through it with green and pink inbk.The heat embossed image resisted the ink. I also heat embossed a butterfly stamp on vellum, and coloured it witgh pink ink before fussy cuuting and attaching to the card. Wrapped the whole panel with with organza ribbon.I thoroughly enjoyed doing this ione, and time permitting will experiment further with different shapes and stampoed images! Til tomorrow….
A stamped garden!
On todays card I have gathered a few stampin up ink pads and stamp sets – stippled blossoms, bliss, and vintage vogue – and stamped out a colourful garden onto some white cardstock, which I then fussy cut around and stuck to another piece of white cardstock which I had embossed with a stampin up embossing folder – lacy brocade. I added some rhinestones, and heat embossed a butterfly on vellum and cut around that too before sticking it on the front of the card.This card is a favourite, and I must try this a gain! Til tomorrow….
