Grace’s Garden Floral Card Stampin’ Up!

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today featuring the Grace’s Garden stamp set and matching Garden Gate dies from Stampin’ Up!. I enjoyed creating this cottage garden scene. The purple flowers around the garden gate remind me of the wisteria over my lounge window.#

This card has a very shabby chic feel to it. I’ve embossed the very vanilla with the stone embossing folder from the sale-a-bration catalogue. The detail wasn’t showing up very well so I lightly sponged over it with Sahara Sand to bring out the details of the embossing and give it an aged appearance.

This card is actually based on one in the Spring / Summer catalogue. You cut the gate open in half to make this an interactive card but I decided against this as I wanted to place flowers in front of the gate.

The flowers are coloured in using the Stampin’ Write Markers. I scribbled some markers onto an acrylic stamping block and then picked up the colour using a blender pen.

measurements

  • Very Vanilla A6 Cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Very Vanilla cardstock – 14.35cm x 10cm

I’ve combined two stamp sets to make this card. They are Barn Door and Grace’s Garden. They work well together I think. #

Oversized Merry Christmas Tag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely oversized Merry Christmas tag to share with you today. This tag can double as a card and tag as there is lots of space on the back to write your message. It is big and bold and yet has a very vintage feel to it.

The colours in this tag are the Real Red and Garden Green. They have been my number one Christmas colours for a number of years. The background colour is not white but very vanilla which gives a softer more shabby chic feel to the tag.

I have just stamped the tab but you could have heat embossed this with clear embossing powder to give a glossy finish. You could even use silver or gold embossing powder for a more metallic bling effect.

Measurements

  • Garden Green – 4 1/4″ X 5 3/4″
  • Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 4″ X 5 1/2″

Although you can’ see I have stamped the back of the tag with “To & From” from the Memories of Home stamp set. I’ve used both real red cotton ribbon and very vanilla lace trim which adds to the shabby chic feel of the tag.

Thank you card Tutorial – Bird Ballard Suite

Thank you card tutorial using the Bird Ballard suite of products from Stampin’ Up!

I have another card to share with you today that features fussy cutting. Yes, its the birds again from the Bird Ballard designer series paper (DSP). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love the birds on this paper.

As I write this I can hear the birds tweeting merrily away outside. I think they are happy the days of rain have stopped and that we have a dry sunny day here today. I took my mother to the Chinese supermarket in town to get some mooli which is an Indian white radish. It is also called a daikon and is eaten often in South and East Asia. Outside the shop, there is a starling’s nest that has one baby. This baby is not too clever though, bless it. It keeps flying into the shop and the mother is forever calling for it to come back out. Perhaps it’s trying to imitate us and going shopping for food instead of searching the ground for it.

This card is another quick and easy make. The focal image is just fussy cut from the Bird Ballard DSP and then a quick sentiment is stamped and the card assembled.

Measurements

  • Pretty Peacock In Colours 2019 – 2021 DSP 13.35 cm x 9 cm.

One reason I love Stampin’ Up! is that the coordination of products is great. This is shown here with matching ink and card base.
