A special floral planter Mother's Day card shared in the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop and made using the Dainty Delight dies by Stampin' Up!

Mother’s Day Floral Planter – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a photo/colour challenge. A soon as I saw the colours, I thought they would make a fantastic floral Mother’s Day card, so that is what I made. This floral planter was inspired by a project made by Bronwyn Eastley of Addinktive Designs.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the Mother’s Day card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 11¾” by 3” scored on the long-side at 2¾”, 5½”, 8¼” & 11½”
Thick Basic White card – 3½” by 1“x 2 scored at ¼” on each end.
Scrap Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Polished Pink, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green

 

Using one of the dies from the Something Fancy Dies set, I cut a piece from all 4 sides along the bottom, this created the ‘legs’ for my planter. The whole piece was then embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I embossed it one end at a time. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the tab to the side f the box, forming a square ‘planter’ with legs.

The Scenic Garden stamp set, by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty water-coloured card

A Scenic Garden card

The lovely Scenic Garden stamp set was used to make this pretty water-coloured birthday card.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the scenic garden card, you will need:

Soft Suede card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Soft Suede card

 

I mounted the image stamp onto one of the plates from my Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down onto the panel of Fluid 100 paper. Because the water colour card so textured I find I need to stamp two or three times to get a good impression and the Stamparatus makes this so easy to do.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty water-coloured card made using the Scenic Garden stamp set, a Sale-a-Bration offering from Stampin’ Up!

Using a Water Painter and inkpads I coloured in the image. I used Soft Suede ink for the bench, Granny Apple Green for the grass and foliage, Sweet Sorbet for the flowers, Smoky Slate for the ground and finally Balmy Blue for the sky and to pull the whole image together.

Christmas Pinecones Classes

Today I am sharing the cards made for my November classes featuring the gorgeous Christmas Pinecones Dies. I don’t know about you, but I looked at the large intricate dies and wondered how I could use them ….. other then the obvious – die cut, add to the card front and slap a sentiment in the middle. I wanted to show my ladies the versatility of cutting the die cut piece apart.

Colours used in this project are:

 

The first thing we did was to die cut the large detailed foliage die from a ¼ sheet of Garden Green card. This is the piece that we cut apart and used on all our cards.

We always start with the fiddliest, most complicated card first, the idea being that we get this over while we are still concentrating!!

We embossed panel the narrow Garden Green panel using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and added it to the smaller front flap of the Soft Succulent card base. The Gold Foil strip was then butted up to it.

We used either the pinecone or sprig to decorate the large Basic White panel and glued it to the inside of the card

We added glue to the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake scalloped rectangle – which I had cut ahead of time using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and added it to the left flap of the card base.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Garden Green   onto the white card, die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies and add to the Crumb Cake panel on Dimensionals.

The detailed pinecone (gold) and Soft Suede pinecone base – cut by me ahead of time using the Seasonal Labels Dies, were glued together then and added to the label front with glue and/or dimensionals.

We then snipped apart the foliage from the large die cut and tucked sprigs behind the pinecones.

We flagged the ends of the Crumb Cake layer and added it to the Garden Green card base.

We embossed the Soft Succulent panel as above and added the panel to the smaller Basic White layer and added the strip of Gold Foil to the side. This piece was then mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the label, which I had die cut ahead of time and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage behind the label.

We embossed the garden green panel with the same Wintry 3D Embossing Panel and added it to the Crumb Cake card front. The Gold Foil strip was added above it

The sentiment was stamped on the previously die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage onto the top of the label.
