Hello and thanks for popping by today to see my latest project.

This is the third card that I have made drawing inspiration from the Sentimental Rose Card Kit.

Today’s card is inspired by the floral birthday card.

I started by water colouring a piece of Shimmery White cardstock in a similar way to the kit card. Then I used the dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend to create the flecks across the front. The edges of the layer were distressed to create extra texture. I tied and trimmed a length of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and wrapped it around the water coloured layer.

The Flirty Flamingo layer was embossed using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. This layer was then attached to the Gray Granite card base at an angle and the water coloured layer was offset over the first layer.

I took a Square Vellum Doily and used it as a mask to create the Gray Granite square layer. It was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I water coloured a second piece of Shimmery White card stock for the rose and leaves. Once the paper was dry, I stamped the images and fussy cut them. They were layered, adhered and popped up on the doily layer. The birthday greeting was stamped and trimmed down before it was placed on the card.

To finish the card, as you may know, I stamped the rose on the card insert and envelope. Last, but not least, I used a dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend to colour some Pearl Basic Jewels.

I enjoyed making the three sample cards from the Sentimental Rose Card Kit for my upcoming Coffee and Card class. And, it was fun to see what I could create bu using those three cards as inspiration. What do you think?

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to today’s post. Thanks for popping by.

My project is a second card inspired by the Sentimental Rose Card Kit.

Today’s card is based on the ‘thank you’ card in the top right hand corner of the image above.

This card also let’s me show a way to use Embossing Folders for this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop.

I started by recreating the soft, watercolour wash using Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Succulent. Then I used the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to add texture to a piece of Shimmery White cardstock. The next step was to flick the brush end of the same colour Stampin’ Blends to achieve some great splatter effect.

After the embossed layer was attached to the card front, I stamped the rose image three times – without reinking it. When the three floral layers were cut, scrunched and glued together it was attached to a Square Vellum Doily and popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon, cut it in half and tied a double bow, using some Silver Simply Elegant Trim to secure it. A Mini Glue Dot was used to attach it to the card front. The birthday greeting was stamped in Soft Succulent and was cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The finaI step was to stamp the rose on the card insert and envelope.

Now I have another very pretty birthday card to add to the birthday box. Who would you give this card to?

Happy stamping.

Hello! I’m back with a second project today. If you are popping by – thank you.

This week’s Global Design Project is a CASEing challenge.

This week, the Globel Design Team have given us this card by Steffi Helmschrott, one of their talented team members from Germany, to CASE.

This is my interpretation – I hope that you like it.

The first decision I made was to use the new Cork 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper. I cut a piece for the base layer on the card front and then, after attaching some Adhesive Sheet to another piece of the cork, cut the trees using the Inspiring Canopy Dies.

I water coloured the background sky using a Water Painter and Balmy Blue ink and a piece of Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper. The ink was touched onto an acrylic block and I mixed some Clear Wink of Stellar for some added glimmer.

When the water colouring was dry, I adhered the trees to the base layer. This was then attached to the Early Espresso card base. The thoughtful sentiment is from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. It was stamped in Early Espresso and cut using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I trimmed down a piece of Paper Lattice to place behind the sentiment. Then I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to lift it up from the base. I added strips of the cork to the card insert and envelope.

Finally, I addedthree of the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-backed Dots to the card front. These cork and dots will be available from August 3.

It is always great to use existing and new products for new projects. This Cork Specialty Paper is going to be so popular … and, the Brushed Metallic Dots. I may need to add another order soon (oops, am I bad?).

When I need to send a condolensce card to someone, I am pleased that I have been able to make it myself.

Here’s to thoughtful and caring stamping.
