Painted Seasons meets Beautiful Bouquet

Hi folks, well I've been busy lately getting some cards done for the next few weeks.

This one I  think is quite pretty and not too hard to make.


We have two anniversaries, for this month so I made them the same card as they don't see each other and once I'd made the first one, I liked it so much I made it again for the second, swapping the colours for the flowers.


Once done, I think I prefer the one on the left, what about you?





To recreate this card follow the guide below:
® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, DSP = designer series paper, (cs) = Card Stock

Base card is Whisper White (cs) measuring 21 x 14.5cm scored at 10.5cm, then dry embossed using the Subtle folder.


Whisper White panel measures 14.5 x 6.5cm and is dry embossed using the Lace Dynamic folder. This is edged with some ® Rushed ribbon, adhered using double sided tape and then added to the base card using dimensional pads.


Using Whisper White (cs) stamp the 2 flowers from the ® Painted Seasons (ss) in Terracotta Tile and Rococo Rose (just love these new colours) and 3 of the leaves in Mint Macaron then die cut using the ® Four Seasons dies.


Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet (ss) and die cut using the peek a boo label die from the Stitched Labels dies.


Arrange the flowers and leaves on the card front and attach using dimensional pads along with the sentiment towards the bottom.


Finish off with a bow at the bottom using the Polka Dots Tulle ribbon.


Will be back again soon with more cards

Frist Frost meets Stitched All Around

I love both these sets and yeah they've carried forward into the new catalogue along with their dies.

And it's all so easy to do, the new Distinctive stamps are great!!!!


To recreate this card follow the guide below:
cs = Card Stock, dsp = Designer Series Paper, ® = Retired

There is a base card of Rococo Rose (cs) measuring 21 x 14.5cm scored at 10.5cm.

Next a layer of Whisper White (cs) measuring 10 x 14cm and this is dry embossed using the Subtle folder.

With Whiper White (cs) stamp the sentiment from the Stitched All Around (ss) in Rococo Rose ink and die cut using the Stitched Labels dies.

Again with Whisper White stamp the flowers from the First Frost (ss) in Rococo Rose and Terracotta Tile ink and die cut using the Frosted Bouquet dies.

Now die cut 2 sprigs in Old Olive (cs) and 3 of the leaves in Vellum using the Frosted Bouquet dies.

Adhere the Whisper White  background layer to the base card.

Arrange the sprigs and leaves at the back of the sentiment and adhere down. I split them into smaller pieces to do this (I adhered them down using liquid glue and secured with sellotape).

Use dimensional pads to attach to the card, then again use dimensional pads to attach the flowers and add the Sequins ®.

Hope you liked todays card.
Back again soon with more cards
