"BE YOU {TIFUL}" Flower Patch and Polka Dot Embossing Folder Card

I shared this card with you last month and from that one sheet wonder I was able to die cut some additional flowers using the Flower Fair Framelits which will be soon retiring in the Big Shot to make this stunning card. I have used the Polka Dot embossing folder which I also have to sadly say goodbye too at the end of this month as a base for the card, layered the flowers and leaves around the frame stamped the sentiment also from Flower Patch stamp set which is also retiring and added a small piece of silver ribbon and Rhinestone to finish the card off.

To order any of the products used to make this card you will have to be quick as the items on the Retirement List are selling out fast, simply go to my SHOP NOW button above to go to my Online Store or contact me to place an order.  Don' forget to use this month's Hostess Code.

Happy Blooming Birthday - Flower Fair Card

Here is another set I am very said to say goodbye to - Flower Patch. This is an older card I have neglected to Blog but I still love it was made this with my Stamp Club ladies and is a One Sheet Wonder where we stamped a whole A4 Very Vanilla piece of card stock using the stamps that coordinate as 2 step stamping and using the smaller images to fill in the white spaces and made various card with it. Some of the colours I have used are Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive, Pink Pirouette. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on Vellum to finish off the card. I will post another card made with this One Sheet Wonder next week.

Flower Patch with Flower Fair and Large Number Framelits WWYS #62

I have been commissioned to make some very special anniversary cards for Volunteers at my husband work Vision Australia. This card was made for a lovely lady Judy who I actually used to work with for 15 years service. I have used the What Will You Stamp #62 Challenge Blog as a starter for the card by using the Flower Patch stamp set.

As Judy is partially sighted I have played with texture, dimension and colour contrast on this card. I started with choosing the Brights Collection of Colours. Next I die cut all the flower and leaf shapes from the Flower Fair Framelits in Very Vanilla card stock and stamped them with Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Inks using the matching Flower Patch stamp set. I arranged the flowers and leaves into a Rich Razzleberry card stock piece embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder both flat and on Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the numbers by using the Large Number Framelit to cut "15" from our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (which is rough) and adhered using double layered Dimensionals so they can more easily be felt. The card from was adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base. To finish the card I added Fine tip Glue pen to the leaves to add shine and a smooth texture.

If you would like to see some of how I made this card and some chat with friends. Please head over to Periscope to have a look. For those who don't have Periscope you can download the app to you mobile to tablet.

Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing with Friendly Wishes and Flower Patch Stamp using Mojo Monday 438 with Video

I have used one of the left over Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing piece from the last card which is a technique I saw Jennifer McGuire do a few weeks ago and tweaked it to work for me. I used this weeks Mojo Moday Sketch to complete the card.

I stared this card with the Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing technique. I have done it little differently to the original but the result is the same. Starting with a piece of Watercolour Paper and took some of our reinkers in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red and Melon Mambo and an Aqua painter and liberally applied the colour making sure to blend where the colours met. When this was dry (if you are impatient you could use your heat tool) I mounted a number of flowers and leaves from the Flower Patch and Floral Wings Stamp Sets inked them with Versamark and covered in Clear embossing powder and melted the powder with the Heat Tool. To make this technique what it is I wet the entire watercolour piece and let it sit for a bit and mopped it off with a paper towel (repeat this step if necessary). This reveals a lighter background and the darker heat embossed embossed images. I stamped the sentiment from Friendly Wishes stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White card stock. Next I took Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red and Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Markers and coloured the heart and friend in the sentiment. Then I cut the Black Colour Me Irresistible paper with a Circle Framelts using the Big Shot and Magnetic Platform which I adhered to a Whisper White piece slightly smaller than the Basic Back card base. I added the Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing piece as per the sketch and matted the sentiment piece on a piece of Basic Black card stock and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a finishing touch a added 3 Melon Mambo It's my Party Enamel Dots.

You can watch how I made this card on Katch.

Watercolour Lifting with Heat Embossing using Flower Patch and Floral Wings Stamps with Hello You Thinlits and Global Design Project #026 Card with Video

I have been wanting to try the Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing that I saw Jennifer McGuire do a few weeks ago and this weeks Global Design Project #026 was the perfect opportunity.

I stared this card with the Watercolor Lifting with Heat Embossing technique. I have done it little differently to the original but the result is the same. Starting with a piece of Watercolour Paper and took some of our reinkers in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red and Melon Mambo and an Aqua painter and liberally applied the colour making sure to blend where the colours met. When this was dry (if you are impatient you could use your heat tool) I mounted a number of flowers and leaves from the Flower Patch and Floral Wings Stamp Sets inked them with Versamark and covered in Clear embossing powder and melted the powder with the Heat Tool. To make this technique what it is I wet the entire watercolour piece and let it sit for a bit and mopped it off with a paper towel (repeat this step if necessary). This reveals a lighter background and the darker heat embossed embossed images. I layered a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock onto a Thick Whisper White card base. I added the watercolour piece with double Stampin' Dimensionals. To make the sentiment piece I punched a piece of Whisper White card stock with the 2" Circle punch and stamped it with the same stamps with stamped off Blackberry Bliss. I die cut 2 Hellos from the Hello You Thinlits using the Big Shot with Precision Plate and Die Brush to release the card stock. I layered these together over the circle punched piece and adhered them to complete the card.

I did create a video finishing off the card off and some of my creative process, be warned I was sick and did cough and sniffle as I was going. You can watch it on Katch
