A LITTLE MANGO, A LITTLE MINT

September 17, 2019

I was playing around with the Seasonal Wreaths Cling stamp set on the weekend and came up with this Mango and Mint combination!

The first thing I did was to draw a light pencil line around the second largest Layering Circle die! This was my guide the stamping the flower flourish in the shape of a wreath. Once the stamping was done, a White Eraser was used to get rid of the pencil line. TIP: It’s very important to use a White Eraser as it won’t leave marks.

Then it was just a matter of colouring with our Stampin’ Blends! I really like the combination of Mango Melody and Mint Macaron with just a touch of Mossy Meadow. Then I decided to fussy-cut the wreath as I didn’t like the extra white edges.

Here’s the list of products that were used.

Hi and welcome! Today’s card features the Varied Vases Photopolymer stamp set and matching Vases Builder Punch.

It is so sweet with those trailing blooms and I’m sure will be received with delight! To get those flowers and vases placed just right, I used a post-it note to cover the designer paper while stamping the flower images.

I followed along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge for the layout which worked perfectly with my idea.

Here’s the list of products used.

HIDDEN FLOWERS

Today’s card uses the Parcels & Petals Bundle again! It’s so easy to use and I created this pretty card with it.

I was checking out Pinterest and found a card that used a die to create an interesting edge so tried it myself. The Seasonal Layers dies have a great scalloped piece and that it was I used to make two separate layers for the card front.

The flower image was stamped onto Whisper White with Highland Heather Ink. Then I added more by “stamping off” so the other blooms would be a softer colour.

Then it was just a matter of picking the perfect greeting and putting the card together. I used a lot of Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Grid Paper for placement of the pieces.

Here’s the list of products used.

Parcels & Petals Bundle [151107] $69.25	Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146986] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad [147103] $10.25

Hi there and thank you for stopping in for a visit. I went to an Aqua Painter for today’s amazing card.

The Band Together Bundle supplied those bright flowers and leaves. It has some amazing greetings as well and I’ll probably be using them a lot on projects.

The flowers and leaves were coloured with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green and I used the matching Stampin’ Write Markers to add the extra shading.

TIP 1: To watercolour, I recommend starting with Shimmery White cardstock. It holds the colour better and doesn’t “pill”.

TIP 2: The Tear & Tape adhesive is great for adhering a “heavy” piece to your card base.

Sometimes you just need to send a thinking of you card off to someone who needs to hear from you. Today’s card should make that person happy!

It’s a study in soft blues with the combination of the new InColour Seaside Spray and an “old” InColour of Blueberry Bushel.

I downloaded the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches this week for the layout inspiration and pulled out Woven Heirlooms and Butterfly Gala for the focal points.

The butterflies were stamped onto a scrap piece of Woven Threads designer paper and then cut out with the matching punch. I used the very handy Take Your Pick tool to place them just so on the card. Make sure to check out this tool, it has many uses!

Here’s the list of products for you.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
