Faux Framed Floral Card

xDSC_3359

(inside: Happy Mother’s Day)

I have been finding (and falling in love with!) some great older stamp sets on ebay.  The stamps on this card are from the “In Full Bloom” set from Stampin’ Up (retired).  I love the sketchy style of the images and the random dots on each of the stamps.

Gina K Designs Jet Black Amalgam ink was used for all the stamping.  The greeting is from the “Twig Wreath” set from Papertrey Ink.  I “scribbled” on my color to match the illustration style of the stamps using Copic Markers (TR15, E08, YG99, and W5). Black card stock was used to mat the focal panel.

The “frame” was created with the debossed side of the “Stately” embossing folder from Craft Concepts.  (I originally saw this folder used HERE where you can see what the embossed side looks like – thanks for the inspiration, Darnell!)  I think this folder (front or back) creates such a nice “finish” to CAS card designs!

The inside sentiment is from the “Lovely Little Wreath” set which was part of the Stampin’ Up Paper Pumpkin April 2016 kit (another “fun find” on ebay!).

Happy Birthday Shaker Card

Happy Birthday Shaker Card

I enjoy making (and shaking!) interactive shaker cards.  For this one, I glued a birthday greeting die cut and a stitched frame die cut to a piece of acetate and adhered this panel to two (layered) pieces of fun foam cut with the same frame die.  This panel was placed over loose sequins and adhered to the card front.  A pretty basic design, but fun to play with!

Pop-up Flower Pot Birthday Card

Pop-up Flower Pot Birthday Card

I used Karen Burniston’s “Flowerpot Pop-up” die set (#1010) to create this pot with flowers that pops up when the card is opened.  The die set comes with the dies to create the pop-up element, the pot, the flowers, the leaves, and a bee (which I did not use on this card).  These dies can be used to create either a flat flower pot design or the pop up design.  Theme, colors and size are up to you. (The bigger the card, the bigger/taller you can go with the bouquet.  My card is 5″ x 7″,  but an A2 size card will work if you are careful with how position your flowers and leaves.)

You can see Karen’s assembly tutorial HERE.  This card is not hard to make; there is just a lot of die cutting if you want a full pot – lol!

This card folds flat for mailing.

The water color patterned paper (#PPR3507) is by love nicole.  I also used Gina K Designs Grass Green, Warm Glow, Edible Eggplant, and Powder Blue card stock.

The Round Happy Birthday die used on the front is unbranded, and the stitched Nesting Square Parentheses inside can be found at Printable Heaven.  The sentiment is called “Special Day Wishes” (#573F) by DRS Designs and was stamped with GKD Edible Eggplant ink.

Happy Easter Bunny

Happy Easter Bunny

(inside: wishing you many blessings this Easter)

This card was made with the die set called “Happy Easter Bunny” by Tutti Designs (TUTTI-502).  There are lots of pieces (18!) that need to be glued down, but I think this die design is so clever and cute!  (You can see how I attached these small die cut pieces HERE.)

I adhered the pieces on a panel of Blue Denim card stock (GKD) that was embossed with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder.

The patterned paper is “Linen Door Boy Plaid” by The Paper Studio.  The inside sentiment is from the “Ink to Paper – Just Sentiments: Easter Mini Stamp Set” by Papertrey Ink.
