mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello to each of you who pops by and checks out my post today.

As promised, I have moved on from wedding cards!

The latest products, on my desk to create with, are the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS BUNDLE and the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY.

I wanted to use both of these new products in conjunction with each other.

The Designer Series Paper is from the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY and the image and sentiment stamps are from the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS STAMP SET.

I used the masking technique to stamp the image. The succulents were stamped first and then the mask placed over it, before the pot was stamped.

The succulents were coloured using STAMPIN’ BLENDS and the pot was coloured with the Cajun Craze Water Colour Pencil from the WATERCOLOUR PENCILS ASSORTMENT 2 and blended it with a BLENDER PEN.

As you can see, I trimmed the left half of the stamped cardstock using a trimmer and fussy cut the right half. I wanted to soften the vertical lines of the DSP.

There are two new linen threads in this medley. I used the natural one for this card.

And, some CLEAR WINK OF STELLA finished the card.

Happy stamping.

Hello and thanks for popping by again.

Well, it’s been a week of wedding cards – I think five is enough for now. I’m looking forward to making something different tomorrow.

I’m staying with the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SPECIALTY DSP and FOIL SHEETS for this card, as well as the LAST A LIFETIME CARD SET. I like the name of that stamp set and I believe that a marriage can last a lifetime (we celebrated our 35th anniversary last year).

I die cut several flowers and layered them up to vary the height of the elements. You can see this just under the ‘Mrs’.

As I did on some of the earlier cards, I heat embossed clear embossing powder over the stamped sentiment to add some shimmer.

I would love to know which of the five wedding cards you like the most.

Happy stamping.

Hello to my wonderful friends who love card making and paper crafting as much a sI do – thanks for popping by again.

Yesterday, I mentioned that I needed to make more wedding cards to top up my supply of them for the next market in February.

I thought, for this card, I would use some of the products from the new LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE and team them up with the SO SENTIMENTAL BUNDLE from the 2020-2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE.

The LOVE YOU ALWAYS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER, LOVE YOU ALWAYS FOIL SHEETS and FLORAL HEARTDIES added subtle and elegant bling to the card.

I used my STAMPARATUS to stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Blushing Bride card stock in the same colour. After I cleaned the stamp, I restamped the sentiment using Versamark and then heat embossed some clear embossing powder. This gives the sentiment a shine similar to the foil.

The tiny hearts come from the long edge die – I glued this along the bottom edge of the card insert. I added some of the hearts to the card front and envelope. The two banner ends were cut from each end of the pop up banner in the FLORAL HEART DIES.

When DSP is this gorgeous, there isn’t really anything else that needs to be added.

I’m very happy with card.

Happy stamping.
