I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. This background is definitely festive, bright and bold. The Modern Garden stamp set has a choice of various florals. It’s also a two step stamping set. I’ve just used one floral and repeat stamped.

The foliage brings this card together. I do want to mention how I did the flower centres. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write marker to colour the centres and added interest with some dots using the Crushed Curry marker.

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background – Abundant Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.

I am resisting the Ombre technique. This allows you to merge two similar tones of colour on one image. It looks great and the best part is, that it’s very easy to achieve.

You can use a sponge dauber, blending brush or piece of sponge to achieve this effect. I stamped my image, which is my birthday sentiment in one lightest colour. In this example that is Flirty Flamingo. I then inked up the bottom part of the image with the darker colour and restamped it.

I love using layering stencils, they make a card so easily. Layering stencils also allow you to create extra depth and dimension. You can layer simple colours for even greater interest.

I normally use Basic White cardstock but I decided to change things up this time and use Crumb Cake. This is the first time I’ve done this and I am so happy with the effect. Do you stencil on coloured cardstock?

I missed the Paper Florist die set in the catalogue when I first looked. I saw a project made by a fellow demonstrator and then of course I had to have it. It is an amazing die set. There are so many different flower dies and you can use them in any combination to create a variety of flowers.

We made this card in card club recently and I loved choosing which flower combinations to use. You can make them in any colour variation you like. The world is your oyster with this flower set. Can you tell that I’ve fallen in love with it?

I had a little story in my mind when I designed this card. The little green birdie was coming to tell Mr Red he’d passed his fledgling test and was now a fully qualified bird. Mr Red was congratulating him on passing with flying colours. Yes, I know the story was ridiculous but I just like the idea of these two birds twittering away together.

I love creating scene cards. All the stamps for this card come from just one set, Sweetsong Birds. I’ve added extra interest to the card with the basic borders die. It just sets off the gingham paper beautifully.

I love big blowsy flowers. They are just so striking, divas of the floral world. These are so easy to stamp and then you can layer them up to make any arrangement you choose.

There is quite a bit of white space on this card. I’ve used the timer embossing folder to give some subtle interest in the background. This is one of my favourite ways to use embossing folders.

I’ve made this card in two different colour variations, which do you like?
