Happy Blooming Birthday

Hi there, today I'm using the Flower Pach stamp set and the dies that correspond with it, Flower Fair. The card base is 15 x 15 cms in Calypso Coral card stock. The designer paper DSP, I used is Gold Soirée . Before I matted this to the card I wrapped around Gold Satin Ribbon and applied a bow in the same. I stamped onto Whisper White card various flowers and leaves using Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Garden Green inks. I then die cut then and using the Stampin Pierce mat and Ball tool I shaped the flowers and leaves and attached them to the card using Pinflair glue to give differing height and layers.
The first card I used the floral side of the DSP and added Basic Pearls to the centre of the flowers.

The second one uses the reverse of the DSP, stripes, and Basic Rhinestones and I reversed the colours of the flowers. Doesn't it look different. Thanks for looking, Joanne x

Kinda Eclectic

Hi this is my first attempt with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  I used a Lost Lagoon card base 21 x 15 cms.  I cut a Whisper White piece of card 20 x 14 cms onto this I stamped the sun shape in the middle, in Hello Honey ink.    I cut another piece of Lost Lagoon card 41/2 cms x 14cms and used the scalloped punch along one edge. Just lay this across the centre of the card to judge where to stamp the leaves.Using Mossy Meadow ink I stamped the leaves from Kinda Electic 3 times, two that would protrude above the border and one below.  Onto a 2.5 x 14 cm piece of Whisper White card stamp the lettered dots in Lost Lagoon ink and attach this flat to the Lost Lagoon border. Wrap some Linen Thread around the right end of the border. Thread some of the linen thread through a Basic Metal Button and attach to border with a Glue Dot. Raise the border on Dimensionals and attach to card. Stamp the sentiment in Tangelo Twist to the bottom left of the card. On a separate piece of  Whisper white stamp 3 more sets of leaves in Mossy Meadow, two large butterflies in Blue Lagoon and two small in Tangelo Twist. Stamp 2 flowers from Everything Eleanor in the same. these are then shaped the flowers and butterflies matted onto each other then attached to the card. The leaves were matted onto the already stamped leaves on the card overlapping onto the border in places. The flower had some dots of Dazzling Details put onto it to finish it off.

Apply glue to the other Moustaches and apply to either side of the first one. To finish off I added Candy Dots the red from the Brights and the black and white from the Neutral sets. All for now Joanne x

Friends Who Know

Hi there, hope you are well. This card is based on the Friends Who Know stamp set but I have used a lot of other Stampin Up items. Firstly I used versamark to ink up the Friends who Know stamp and also one of the Chalk Lines stamps. Both were stamped onto Blushing Bride card stock then Whisper White Embossing Powder was poured over the image, the excess shaken off and heat embossed. I die cut the Friends Who Know out with the largest Labels Collection Die. Underneath the Chalks Lines I used the Scalloped Punch to give a fancier finish to the lines. The card is 15cms x 15cms. I matted a 14.5cm x14.5cm of Night of Navy card stock onto this and the a piece of Flowerpot DSP 14cms x14cms. I raised the Friends die cut on pads and stuck it near to the top of the card. The border was stuck flat to the card. I used the large Scalloped Punch to cut a Night of Navy scallop, I also used the large Oval Punch to cut an oval in Whisper White and then I stamped on it with the Happy Birthday Wishes from the Petite Pairs stamp set. I matted and layered these onto one another then padded them up and put them on the middle of the Chalk Lines.
I used Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Blushing Bride card stock to make flowers from using Versamark and white embossing powder again. I punched out the flowers with the Petite Petals, Pansy and Itty Bitty punches added Basic Rhinestones and arranged them on the card. I love the way it looks but I would. Thanks for looking, all the best Joanne x

Fancy Fan, For You, Petite Petals

Hello, hope you are well. Today's card features a Whisper White base card. I then cut a circle  aperture in a piece of Bermuda Bay  and a smaller piece of Whisper White. Stamp a sentiment onto the white circle that's left from the For You Stamp set. Stick this centrally onto the base card. Then emboss the white card with the circle aperture in it with the Fancy Fan folder. Mat this onto the Bermuda bay aperture card then pad these pieces and affix to card base. Stamp and punch out a varied hue of blue Petite Petal flowers. Add Basic Rhinestones to their centres. Arrange these around the aperture. I placed a double bow across one of the corners of the card to finish it off. Take care, Joanne x

Papillon Potpourri, Dictionary, Blossom and Pansy Punches

Hello lovelies, hope you are well. I have made a flat aperture card today. I have used Whisper White and Melon   Mambo card stock and  2013-15 DSP. Firstly I cut an oval aperture using the Oval Collection into a piece of Melon Mambo card stock and the same size of aperture into a piece of scrap card. I inked up the Dictionary stamp, laid the scrap aperture card over the Whisper White base card then placed the stamp over the aperture. I applied more pressure over the stamp covering the aperture area to ensure the stamp hits the base card. Remove the scrap and you will be left with an oval shape with the Dictionary text. The Melon Mambo aperture card is then placed over the base card and stuck down.  Out of the DSP I punched 2 blossom flowers and 2 pansy flowers. I also punched 1 Elegant butterfly and 1 Bitty Butterfly. I gave a little shape to all these punched pieces them matted them onto the corresponding smaller punched piece.  The leaves are now discontinued. I added Basic Pearls to finish off.. Take care, Joanne x

Something To Say

Hello there, here's one l made using Something To Say. It's a very quick thank you card. I used Whisper White and Melon Mambo card stock throughout the card. The ribbon is also from Stampin Up but unfortunately has been discontinued. I simply matted and layered card stock using the Oval Collection Die set, stamping a message from the Something To Say stamp set, I also stamped some of the flowers in Melon Mambo and used the corresponding Itty Bitty Accent Punch and punched some of the flowers from the Melon Mambo DSP. To finish l added some Basic Rhinestones. Thanks for looking, Joanne x

Papillon Potpourri and Gorgeous Grunge

Hi, I've seen many variations of this card so here's my take on it. I used Gorgeous Grunge as my base and I stamped it four times using Daffodil Delight twice. The other colours are Real Red and Tangerinei Tango. I then stamped a varity of butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri and punched some butterflies from the corresponding  coloured card stock. Before sticking the butterflies on I stamped the sentiment from the For You stamp set. I then stuck the butterflies to the card. A quick and easy card.Thanks for looking, Joanne x
