I’m back with another floral card. This one features the Simply Zinnia stamp and die bundle. This card is bright and happy. I’ve kept the colour palette limited to green, yellow and orange and they all work together well.

The image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Remember always to use Memento Tuxedo Black when using these markers instead of Stazon. Another tip is to ensure the ink is dry before you start colouring. This limits the chance of the ink bleeding.

measurements

  • Pumpkin Pie Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

I only coloured in the focal image. This spotlights the image and makes it pop. The magnolia is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I combined Berry Burst and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and Granny Apple Green for the foliage.

I do love magnolias. They were a joy to see in the streets and gardens this Spring. They made me smile, and this card reminded me of that.

I love all the tones of purple on this card. Aren’t they gorgeous? This is a simple design. It has the “WOW” factor with minimal effort. I don’t have much of the Perennial Lavender paper left. I needed to find a way to stretch my supplies. It is paired here with some Fresh Freesia cardstock. The small strip of glimmer paper brings the whole design together.

If you are wondering about that butterfly, it’s a pre-made die-cut from the Paper Butterfly Accents set. It’s so pretty, don’t you agree?

I love the bright, spring feel of this card. It features Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, these colours are retiring at the end of April. I will miss them. This week on my blog I am featuring all the retiring in-colours as a final goodbye.

This double z-fold card is easy to make. I’ve adjusted the measurements slightly so it is slightly smaller than a standard A6 card. This makes the scoring easier. The card below features the third retiring colour, Orchid Oasis.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

I have this elegant floral thank you card to share today. This card features the stunning Painted Lavender stamp set. It is a two-step stamp set which allows you to create these gorgeous flower spikes.

Lavender is such a classic scent and flower. Did you know it is a member of the mint family? It’s been used and cooking and herbalism. I think it’s a beautiful flower to say thank you. Lavender symbolises serenity and elegance, perfect for a card. Do you agree?

I love the Pansy Patch stamp set. I’ve not used it for a while but I think it deserves to be used again. This design is very simple with a single flower as the focal image. Pansy Patch is a two-step stamp set. This gives the flower detail and dimension. I made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer?

I created this decorative flap using the Around the Bend Dies. I used the scallop border die to cut the cardbase itself. Then, I used this decorative border die with Basic White cardstock to create this lacy pattern. I love the effect.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper (DSP). I added some gold sequins to give the flower centres some sparkle.

I recently bought a new storage system for my sequins. Of course, I found many more than I thought I had. I need to use them up and the best way to do that is shaker cards.
