Using the stunning Paper Florist Dies I die cut a variety of flowers and leaves from scrap Basic White, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam. I shaped the flowers using a ball tool and a bone folder and assembled the flowers using Mini Glue Dots between each layer and a Mini Dimensional under the flower centres. The flowers were then added to the card front, and two inside panels.

Five cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies by Stampin' Up!

Wreath cards made for the Christmas Stampathon

This month’s theme for the Christmas Stampathon is ‘wreaths’ and my first instinct was to use one of the wreaths from the Cottage Wreath stamp set. However, when I pulled the stamp set off the shelf, I was drawn to the leafy sprig image instead and ended up using this as the basis for my card.

 

Colours used in these cards are:

 

To recreate the wreath Christmas cards, you will need:

5 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”- I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
5 matting layers – 5⅛” by 3⅜ – I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Distressed Gold dsp
On some of the card I rounded the bottom, right corner on some or all the layers.

 

I sketched a rough circle using a pencil in the upper half of the smaller panels of Basic White card. Around the circle I stamped the leafy sprig in Lost lagoon ink. The pencil circle was then erased.

Florals for a slimline birthday card

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have used the pretty Textured Florals Bundle to make a slimline birthday card.    

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the floral slimline card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8” by 8” – scored at 4” Basic White card – 8” by 2” Distressed Gold dsp – 8” by ¼” x 2 Basic White card – 7⅞” by 3⅛” – for the inside Scrap Basic White card   Using a Trimmer I cut a 1” strip from the front of the Berry Burst card base.

I used the Scalloped Contour Dies to die cut the scalloped border from the 8” by 2” strip of Basic White card and adhered it, using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the inside of the Berry Burst card front.

I added the strips of Distressed Gold dsp along the edge of the scalloped border on both the inside and outside of the card.

The large flowers, from the Textured Floral stamp set were stamped onto scrap Basic White card in a variety of colours and I ended up using the ones stamped in Blackberry Bliss, Berry Burst and Bubble Bath.

The leaves were stamped in Garden Green ink and the small flowers in Pool Party ink. The flowers and leaves were then die cut using the Textured Floral Dies. I used liquid glue to adhere the eaves to the large flowers before adding them to the card front on Dimensionals. The small Pool Party flowers were then tucked into place. I used a dotty stamp from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set and Berry Burst ink to add texture to the card front.

The sentiment, from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Berry Burst ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card with liquid glue. A scattering of Festive Pearls completed the card.
