Tearing Effect – Field of Flowers – Stampin’ Up!

I have a fun technique to share with you in this card. This using the tearing effect to create these ruffled edges that frame the focal image.

This image is all one stamp. I’ve stamped in it Mossy Meadow, the same colour as the cardstock. I tore the cardstock and then cut everything down to the size I wanted. The ruffled edge of the Mossy Meadow looks like the rough edges of the grass. I think it works well.

The card seemed a little dull to me until I had the bright idea to add the red rhinestones. I think they bring the whole card together and give a lovely pop of colour. In my mind they are little red poppies in the grass verge.

Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely floral card featuring these beautiful yellow irises. It makes for this bright and sunny congratulations card.

There are only flowers stamps used here. If you vary the height and angle of the stamps you will stop it look like repeat stamping. The stamps give quite a sketchy appearance which helps to cover up any mistakes in colouring.

The images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I’ve used quite a few colours to blend the yellows. I love colouring, it is such relaxing past time when I’m feeling stressed and anxious.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones to fill some of the white space. To me, it looks like pollen blowing around in the breeze. I’m so pleased they carried over as I love all the

Pink Blossoms in Bloom Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have another beautiful floral card to share with you today. Can you tell I’m on a flower power buzz? This is one is my Pink Blossoms card. I love how happy and yes pink it is!!

This card is so happy and it is perfect to cheer up someone who is feeling under the weather. I have a cousin back in South Africa who has just had a spinal fusion operation. I wish I could send her this card. Unfortunately, the postal system back home is not the best so I have to send it to her virtually.

The stamp set is Blossoms in Bloom. I’ve stamped in two colours of pink, Petal Pink and Melon Mambo. I’ve off set the stamping to create this shadow effect. This is really easy to do with the Stamparatus stamping platform.

Pretty and Vibrant Flowers – Card Tutorial

I have a card to share with you today featuring these pretty and vibrant flowers from the Flowers For Every Season designer series paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is so gorgeous. I could not contain my excitement when I first opened it and the matching memory and more cards. It just sings to me!!

The blue in the background is the in colour Misty Moonlight. I think it is lovely. It is not as deep as night of navy but still a great neutral background for those lovers of blue. The flower are my favourite tulips. If you have been reading my blog you will know I am head over heels mad for tulips.

This card is one of my simple sentiment cards as I didn’t want to cover up my lovely tulips. I think sometimes we want to put do so many techniques and use up embellishments on a card that they become to busy and lose their wow factor.

I always do my blogs a few weeks ahead of time. As I am was creating this cards I watching the BBC coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show. Unfortunately Chelsea as cancelled this year but the BBC showed highlights of the last 10 years. It was nice but also poignant as it made me miss it all the more. When I lived in London I went to the flower show every year. I was hoping to go to the RHS flower show at Chatsworth House this year but again its cancelled so I will have to wait until next year.

Blue Poppies – Himalayan Blue Poppy

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today using blue poppies. This card is my interpretation of the Himalayan blue poppy. This is a pretty blue flower with a little yellow centre. When I saw it I knew I wanted to try and make a card around this idea.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and I hope you like it to. The card is mainly die cutting. The l ight blue is Balmy Blue and the Pacific Point gives a contrast to the flower. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz (Light Green) and Old Olive (Dark Green)

The die set does come with a die to cut out flower centres but I thought these gold faceted gems work perfectly and also give some bling to the card. These gems are unfortunately retiring but still available as I write this.

I did some research on the Himalayan blue poppy. It was formally named in 1912 by Lt. Col. Frederick Marshman Bailey. It is hardy in much of the UK and is perennial so comes back every year. How great is that? I definitely want to try and grow some in the garden. They would look gorgeous in a cottage garden.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I had fun making it. The die is Poppy Moments and I intend to give it a good work out. I think I will try making some yellow and orange poppies next either to use on a card or as an embellishment on a bag or box. I think this die set would be fabulous to make scrapbooking embellishments especially if you are doing a page about the 75th anniversary of VE day.

Best Dressed Floral Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have another cute bag for you using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP), hence the name best dressed floral bag.

The Best Dressed DSP has makeup and fashion themed patterns on one side and on other are these amazing floral designs. I am quite a tomboy and makeup and fashion have never held much attraction to me. I love the florals though.

This box is what I call pencil case style. It has a magnetic closure but it is the DSP that makes it sing to me. I love this pattern, it is so happy. What are your favourite styles of patterned paper?

I know some people find box making quite difficult to do so I made a template but I will also give you the measurements here.

Rose Floral Birthday Card – Beautiful Day

I have this vibrant Rose Floral Birthday card to share with you today. I call this my Rose splash card due to the vivid splash of Lovely Lipstick pink in the background.

I adore Lovely Lipstick pink. It is such a bold and vibrant colour. I am going to be very sad when it retires in May and might just have to make sure I have a few extra cardstock packs to hoard in my stash. Do you like this pink or is too bold for you? Let me know in the comments, I love to hear your feedback.

This card is really all about the stamping. I’ve used a set called artisan textures to create the splash of colour in the background. The rose is from an older set called Beautiful Day and it creates this large outline image. The sentiment and small pink flowers are also from this set. I’ve used some rhinestones as flower centres to make the card pop.

As you may see from all these projects I share I love flowers. They make me smile. I think the world would be a lot less beautiful without flowers. Here in Lincoln, the first daffodils are flowering and I am looking forward eagerly to cherry blossom and tulips.

Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards

I have a very simple and easy card to share with you today. Shock, horror, it contains no stamping. This card uses the Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards to create this easy and simple card. This is perfect if you are new to crafting or want to make an easy but beautiful card in a hurry.

Stampin’ Up! have some wonderful product suites and Magnolia Blooms is an absolute favourite of mine. The designer series paper (DSP) and the Memory and More Cards match perfectly. Memory and More is Stampin’ Up!’s line of pocket scrapbooking. Each set contains both 6″ X 4″ cards as well as 4″ X 3″ cards in addition to some stickers and other speciality pieces. The cards vary in images and styles, some have journalling spots, sentiments and others are just images.

I have combined a 4″ X 3″ sentiment card with the DSP to make this card. As always all the colours match the cardstock perfectly, making for super easy crafting. I even used a sticker for the sentiment for the inside of the card!!

I love every year when the blossom and magnolias come out. It signals spring to me and the end of cold, dark and wet days. When the flowers are over the petals fall to the ground like confetti. I literally can’t wait for warm spring days so I can go walking and enjoying the glory of the natural world.

Poppy Moments – Die Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

I absolutely love how this card turned out using the Poppy Moments set of dies. The dies allow you to cut out both the solid image and the highlights allowing you to create these realistic flowers and leaves.

In the UK, red poppies are a symbol of remembrance. I think personally they are also a symbol of the fact the life goes on. I love seeing the poppies in the grass verges in fields every year. The red poppies are so bold and vibrant and are a beautiful pop of colour against the green grass.

This card is perfect for someone who doesn’t like to stamp much as the die cuts do all the talking. I’ve used Real Red and the aptly named Poppy Parade for the poppies. The leaves are Old Olive and Shaded Spruce. I used Crumb Cake as the background colour as I felt white or black was too stark a contrast. The Crumb Cake is a lovely kraft neutral.

Under my Umbrella – Stampin’ Blends Markers

I have this cute, bright and sunny card to share with you today. I knew I wanted to get “Under My Umbrella” the minute I saw it in the catalogue. The flowers growing in the wellies are just so dinky.

Under my Umbrella - Stampin' Up! — Under my Umbrella – Stampin’ Up!

I debated what colours to use in this card and eventually went for so saffron, balmy blue, highland heather and old olive. I think they make the card look like a summer’s day.

Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love the seamless colouring and easy shading of the Stampin’ Blends. What is your favourite colouring medium? I do love watercolouring but the Blends are great for quick and easy colouring too.
