Rose Birthday Card – Mosaic Mood DSP

I have this simple fussy cut rose birthday card to share with you today. I have used the Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper (DSP). The flowers in this DSP have an embossed feel to them for added interest. I’ve matched my cardstock colours to that of the DSP.

The Mosaic Mood DSP is gorgeous. I’ve used it a number of times and I love it more and more each time. I’ve embossed the background Terracotta Tile cardstock with the Country Floral embossing folder to give interest where there are no other elements.

This is a very simple card but the DSP really makes it pop. I love cards like these as they require very little product to make something beautiful.

Sunflower – Birthday Card Tutorial

I have this sunny Birthday Card to share with you today. This card features a lovely sunflower from the Painted Harvest stamp set to brighten up any day. The card is simple and easy to make and really brings up back to the basics of cardmaking, ink, paper and stamps.

I love sunflowers. They are stunning flowers. I was watching the Tour de France earlier this year and remember seeing the amazing fields of sunflowers in parts of France. They are truly a spectacle to behold.

I normally don’t enjoy fussy cutting as I don’t have the patience for it but I seem to be making quite a few cards that require fussy cutting recently. Not sure why though. The sunflower on this card is fussy cut and it is not as hard as I thought it would be. The image is very forgiving as it has such a sketchy design.

As mentioned previously this is a really simple card to make that goes back to the basics of card, ink and paper. I think sometimes we make such elaborate cards that we forget how effective just simple stamping can be.

Varied Vases Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I have a bright and vibrant card to share with you today. The stamp set is Varied Vases. This was designed by Mary Fish who is one of Stampin’ Up!’s Million Dollar sales achievers. WOW!!! As a thank you from Stampin’ Up! she was allowed to help design a stamp set and this is it.

This stamp set is a two-step stamp set. This means you can colour in the outline images with markers or using ink and the stamp provided.

I love having vases of flowers in the house, especially Tulips as they are my favourite flower. I have used five vases as I think design-wise, things look better in groups of odd numbers. The vases are two-step stamped whereas I coloured in the flowers with markers.

I love floral cards and Stampin’ Up! have a plethora of floral sets to chose from. Varied Vases has a matching vase punch. The punch also matches another set called Vibrant Vases. This makes for a very versatile stamp and punch set.

Rose Birthday Card – A Beautiful Friendship

I am sharing this beautiful rose birthday card with you today, which is made using my favourite colour, Melon Mambo. I love this pink as does my mother. The vibrant bold colour shouts out to you.

Rose Birthday card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin' Up! — Floral Birthday card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I have used the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin’ Up! which is a gorgeous stamp set with a lovely mix of images and sentiments. I love the two rose like images that I have used here. Normally roses aren’t my favourite flower but I do love them on this card.

We have a beautiful climbing red rose outside the front door. This year, it has flowered the best of the 4 summers we have been in Lincoln. It was packed with gorgeous big red roses and of course lots of thorns!!

I like this card as it is so simple to make. It really is just ink, stamps and paper. I have stamped the floral images using ink pads but they could have equally have been stamped using the Stampin’ Write markers. I have used the markers again to stamp the leaves. The markers are very useful as I can use them to colour in, stamp and watercolour paint. I love tools that are so versatile and give me more “bang for my buck”.

I had a look online and found out that white roses stand for purity and innocence. In total contrast, a red rose means passion and love whereas a pink rose stands for appreciation or perfect happiness. I felt this was symbolic for a birthday card. A birthday is a day that hopefully brings you happiness and a day to appreciate that you have made another year.

I have a video and supply list below as usual.

I want to thank you for stopping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Inspiring Iris – Birthday Card Tutorial

I have a floral card to share with you today featuring this beautiful Inspiring Iris stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Inspiring Iris Birthday Card using supplies from Stampin' Up! — Inspiring Iris Birthday Card using supplies from Stampin’ Up!

I love this stamp set. Inspiring Iris is a two-step stamp set but I have chosen to colour it freehand with a blender pen and Stampin Write markers. I love purple irises as they are so vibrant and strong. I used to see them every year when I went to the Chelsea Flower Show as they are the backbone of many gardens.

The colour Gorgeous Grape is divine because it’s such a deep and majestic colour. I would love to have a dress in this colour with silver heels. If I can find some wool in this colour I might knit myself a winter hat. I can knit and would like to get back into knitting as well as my paper crafting.

measurements

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock – A6 card base – (A4 sheet cut in half on the long edge, and then folded in half on the long side)
Whisper White Cardstock – 14.35cm x 10cm

As previously mentioned I coloured this in with a blender pen and the Stampin’ Write Markers. I put some colour down on a stamping block with a marker and then picked it with the blender pen. You can see this in more detail in the accompanying video below.

So my question for today is what is your favourite medium to colour in with? Do you prefer alcohol markers, watercolour pencils or Stampin’ Write Markers?
