Flower Patch with Papillon Popourri

Hello my Lovelies, today I'm sampling the Flower Patch stamps and Dies. The base card is 21 x 15 cms in Daffodil Delight card stock. I used a piece of Taffy DSP 20 x 14 cms and stuck this flat to the card base once I had wrapped Daffodil Delight seam binding around the left near edge of the paper. I cut another piece of Daffodil Delight card stock 15 x 11 cm and a piece of Whisper White 14 x 10 cm. Onto this I stamped some stems and flower heads. Onto some other Whisper White I stamped other flowers and Stems using the Flower Patch set and inks, daffodil delight, melon mambo, pumpkin pie, tempting turquoise, rich dazzle berry, old olive and pistachio pudding. These were then die cut using flower fair. Before adding these to the card  I used a distress tool and a silicone mat to work on to apply Soft Sky to the top half of the card to represent sky and Old Olive to the bottom for grass. I then stamped the sentiment onto the picture from the FlowerPatch stamp set in Tempting Turquoise. I them added Dimensionals to the die cut stems and some flowers and added these to the card. Some of the flowers were worked with a Ball Tool to add shape and dimension and stuck to the card with glue. I matted this onto the Daffodil Delight mat added Dimensionals to the back of this and added it to the main card. I them stamped some butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set onto card using the corresponding ink then punched them out using the Bitty Butterfly punch. These were stuck onto the card. A bow was added to finish the card off. Thanks for looking, best wishes Joanne x

Well Worded Birthday Cake Banner

Hello to you my friends, here's another from the Well Worded set, it's the turn of the birthday cake. Make a 15 x 15cm card base. Add to this a 14.5 x 14.5 cm mat in Tempting Turquoise and then a piece of  Taffy DSP 14 x 14cm. I stamped the cake out 3 times on Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise card stock using the corresponding inks. Cut,Mat and layer them to get a trio of colour cake.  Cut a piece of Tempting Turquoise card stock  10.5 x 7.5 cm and Whisper White 10 x 7cm mat together then stamp Hip Hip Hooray onto the White from the Hip Notes set. Add Dimensionals to the back of this mat and apply to the card. Add the cake topper to this. Using Candy Dots from the Brights selection add a different colour to each corner. To finish off the card I used the Banner Punch punching out 6 banners using the colours for the cake 2 of each. I also used the Itty Bitty punches, star and heart 3 of each and stuck them alternately onto the banners. I then put them on Dimensionals and stuck them across top of card. I stuck some twine to the card to make it look like bunting. Hope you like it, thanks for looking, Joanne x
