Hi Everyone,

This is a quick card that I made when Donna came to visit recently using some of the lovely Saleabration dsp - Rings of Love - which is FREE with a £45 order during July & August. I've made into a Good Luck card for my Grandson who is about to move into a new place with his girlfriend and start a new job too - exciting times for them.

2 pieces of so saffron card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of basic white 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

1 piece of dsp 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

Scraps of balmy blue and so saffron for the hearts

Hearts Punch Pack

Charming Sentiments stamp set

Night of Navy ink

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Trimmer

Instructions

On the long side score the balmy blue card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere 1 piece of so saffron to the card front and one to the inside.

Add the dsp to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of white card and then adhere on the inside of the card on top of the so saffron mat.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of so saffron and punch out with the straight edged heart and then punch out a scalloped one in balmy blue and layer them together. Add to the card front with dimensionals.

Hi Everyone,

Today I am hopping with the Crafty Collaborations group and we are showing off the new 2022-2024 In Colours - Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Orchard Oasis, Starry Sky and Tahitian Tide and I love them all, they are so bright and cheerful. I've used the In Colour inks, card stock and dsp and twine and added a sentiment from Flowers of Friendship and used the Heart Punch Pack for my sentiments. I am going to use these as my Customer Appreciation Cards for May, I hope that they will like them.

Materials

For one card (I obviously made 5)

1 piece of thick white card stock 4" x 8"

1 piece of coloured card stock 3 1/4" square

1 piece of In Colour dsp 3" square

Scrap of white card stock for the heart

Ink to match

Heart Punch

In Colour Twine to match

Iridescent Rhinestones

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Flowers of Friendship stamp set

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini glue dots

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 4" and fold and burnish.

Add the dsp layer to the coloured mat layer and add to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment in ink to match the coloured card and dsp and punch out with the heart punch. Add this to the card front using dimensionals.

Tie a bow with a double length of twine and add to the heart with a mini glue dot, then add a rhinestone and the card is done. I have left the inside clear so that my customers can reuse the card if they want to, I will add a message separately on a post it note.

Please pop over and see what everyone else has made, you are sure to find lots of inspiration, I always do.

Heart Punch Flower Card - Share it on a Sunday

Hi Everyone,

For Share it on a Sunday this week, we are playing with punches. I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was really pretty so I've had a go using the Simply Marbleous dsp for the flower and Abstract Beauty for the background. The flower is made using the Heart Punch, let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of coastal cabana card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of Abstract Beauty dsp 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

3 sheets of Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" dsp

Heart Pack Punch

Trimmer

Blue Adhesive Backed Gems

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Bone Folder

Instructions

On the long side score the coastal cabana card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Punch out as many hearts as you can from 3 sheets of the dsp, I've used the straight edged heart punch for this. Fold each heart in half down the centre. Arrange the petals in a circular design on the top (just a dry fit for now to make sure you have the positioning correct).

They sit inside each other as shown. When you are happy start to adhere them in place on the dsp mat layer (my mat layer started out a little larger than the measurement given above but it wasn't quite centre when I finished so I chopped a little bit off). Keep going until you have completed the circle and you have a pretty flower, then adhere this mat layer to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of basic white and add to the inside of the card. Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of white and then adhere to the scrap of coastal cabana and trim around the edges to leave a small border. Add this to the card front below the flower using dimensionals. Add some of the blue gems for a bit of added sparkle.

I hope that you like my card and will give it a try, don't forget to pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too.

Monochrome Charity Gift Cards - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

This week I have been making cute little gift cards for a charity. I belong to a local Knit and Natter group who are making little knitted and crocheted flowers to gift to new Mums at the local Special Care Baby Unit on Mothers Day this year. We make lots of things throughout the year, usually to raise money for local charities but we also gift many baby hats and blankets to the local Maternity Units too. I’ve lost my knitting mojo lately so I said that I would make the gift cards to go with our flowers so I feel like I’m still doing my bit. Let me show you how I made them.

Materials

1 piece of card stock 3” x 6”, scrap of card for heart

1 piece of dsp 2 7/8” square

Scrap of basic white for hearts

Matching ink

Flowing Flowers stamp set

Dressed to Impress stamp set

Memento black ink

Hearts Punch Pack

Trimmer

Multipurpose adhesive

Simply scored

Bone folder

Hole punch

Scrap of matching ribbon or twine

Instructions

On the long side score the card at 3” and fold and burnish.

Adhere the dsp to the card front.

Punch out one scalloped heart to match the card base and two straight sided hearts in basic white.

Using ink to match the card base, stamp the small group of flowers on one of the white hearts.

Stamp the sentiment in black over the top as shown in the picture.

Adhere this stamped heart to the scalloped heart and add to the card front. Adhere the remaining heart on the inside of the card to write the message.

Punch a hole in the top corner of the inside of the card and thread through some ribbon or twine to attach to the flower.

As you can see I’ve made lots of these and these are the flowers that my friends are making.
