Simple Fancy Flora Card - Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to show you how easy it is to make a very quick and simple card with just a piece of designer series paper and a sentiment. This Fancy Flora designer series paper is just so lovely and this particular piece that I have chosen, looks like a painting, I love it. Making cards doesn't have to be hard if you have the right things to make it with.

Materials

1 piece of crumb cake card stock 5 7/8" x 11 1/2"

2 pieces of soft suede card stock 5 1/2" square, scrap for sentiment

1 piece of basic white 5 1/4" square, scrap for sentiment

1 piece of dsp 5 1/4" square

Crumb cake ink

Artistically Inked stamp set

Double Oval Punch

Trimmer

Multipurpose adhesive

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Instructions

On the long side score the crumb cake card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish to make a square card.

Adhere the soft suede mats to the card front and the inside of the card. Add the dsp to the front.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of basic white and punch out with the plain oval, then punch out a scalloped oval with the soft suede and layer them up. Add to the card front with dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white mat and add some flowers if desired, then adhere to the inside of the card.

Sprinkle some butterflies and the card is complete. Easy!

Hi Everyone,

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

Sweet Sorbet Bakers Twine

Sweet Sorbet ink

Artistically Inked stamp set

Double Oval Punch

Trimmer

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

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

Adhere the dsp as shown in the sketch.

Add the strip of card and then wrap the twine around it and tie in a knot.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out and then layer up on the larger scalloped oval and add to the card front with dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of white and add to the inside of the card.

I've added some decorative dots t the centre of the flowers and the sentiment.

Artistically Inked - Creative Colour Challenge #36 - Stampin' Birds Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Another challenge for the Birds, a colour challenge from Victoria's Creative Colour Challenge #36 - Petal Pink, Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow (I don't have Mossy Meadow so have used Old Olive in its place). I've made a wedding card using the lovely Artistically Inked stamp set and fussy cut the leaves and flowers. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

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

2 pieces of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment and stamped flowers and leaves

Double Oval Punch

Paper Snips

Artistically Inked stamp set

Love & Happiness stamp set

Petal pink ink

Balmy blue ink

Old olive ink

Memento black ink

Gilded Gems

Elegant Trim

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini glue dots

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Take Your Pick Tool

Instructions

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

Randomly stamp the long splodge (technical term, haha, not sure what it's called), all over a piece of basic white using the petal pink ink. Adhere this layer to the card front.

Stamp 4 flowers in balmy blue and several sets of leaves in old olive (I have stamped off to make them paler). Fussy cut these images. Arrange the flowers on the card front using dimensionals and then tuck in the leaves around them.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and then punch out and layer up with the pink scalloped one. Add to the top right hand corner of the card front using dimensionals.

Make a bow with the elegant gold trim and add to the sentiment.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white card and decorate with more splodges and adhere to the inside of the card.

Add some gilded gems to the centre of the flowers and one to the sentiment and the card is complete, I hope that you like it. Why don't you check out Victoria's page and have a go, a different set of colours every week.
