A fun card making blog
This was an easy card to make - some embossing, strips of paper and a die cut image. I chose gold for the leaf to highlight the gold lines in the patterned paper. The sentiment was placed on the same angle as the papers.
This could be an easy card to replicate for card sets - maybe down the road...

This set of cards is from the Let's Stamp Together subscription program. Concord and 9th created this set.
There are several stencils to create the main sentiment and the florals. The colour schemes are soft and pretty, withe blue, green, turquoise and coral. I love how these turned out and can definitely see myself using this product suite again down the road!
The first pair were stencilled in the same colour scheme and I love the light orange and dark pink for the flowers. The stencilling on Kraft was done with white pigment ink first and the colours were added on top.
The large thanks is so versatile, especially with the coordinating die. The first card has a unique opening as well with the scalloped piece being the card base.

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 697!
The colour grid is below.
I used green in addition to yellow.
The background was masked and ink blended with grey ink. The sentiment was stamped off to the right side. The floral image was die cut, stencilled, then stencilled again with a dot pattern over the open stencil to get the pattern on the flowers and stacked three times. That was added to the side after a black mat was placed under the main panel. Some iridescent gems finished off this pretty card.

This is another set of cards made for the care-ing team at my church to send to people who need a pick me up.
I chose a few scene papers and cut them into three strips. They were arranged on cardstock pieces and adhered to coloured card bases. I added a stamped or hot foiled sentiment on each. I made a total of 16 of these cards. Easy!

This is another (smaller) set of cards for the care-ing team (yes, it's spelled correctly) at my church as they send cards to people who need a pick me up.
I stamped the floral images and adhered them to blue mats. The backgrounds have patterned paper pieces cut on a diagonal to add some interest. No embellishments were added to keep the cards flat for mailing.

This card was made for a weekly challenge that I like to enter.
The details are below.
The background was stencilled in light grey. I used old striped papers for the three panels and added a floral spray based on colours from the stripes. The sentiment was embossed and added at the side of the flowers. I used a black pen to add dots around the images.

A team from my church sends cards to people who are ill, haven't attended for a while or have suffered a loss. I make cards regularly for this team and this is a recent set.
I stamped the images and sentiments on white cardstock. The card fronts were adhered to dark blue mats and then a green card bases. I purposely avoided any embellishments so the cards are flat for mailing.

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 674!
The sketch is shown below.
I chose a few leftover papers and angled the strips on a stitched rectangle front. The background was embossed on foil paper and I added a sentiment with a white and silver ribbon. Three enamel dots were placed around the sentiment.
Come and join us at Atlantic Hearts and show us how you interpret this sketch.
You have until Sunday evening to link up your project.

I have had this Spellbinders stamp set for ages and finally brought it out to play!
The images were stamped, coloured and die cut with an oval shape. I cut a second, larger oval for the mat. The background was embossed and everything was adhered to an A2 card base. I used a shimmer brush to add some shimmer to a handful of the flowers.

This cute card was inspired by one on the Waffle Flower website.
I die cut the postage background and used the stencils to mask to squares and ink blend a blue background. The silhouette images were all die cut and added to the background. I stamped two sentiments and placed them along the dotted sections. I used a white gel pen to add details to the images.
Enjoy,
Alyson
