BRIGHT SHADES OF GREEN

April 8, 2020

Good day and welcome. Today’s card features shades of green with the designs coming from the lovely Garden Lane designer series paper!

Isn’t that green so very pretty and bright? I also had some fun with dies – the Stitched Shapes Dies(145372) for the greeting, the Budding Blooms Dies(149548) and the Cherry Blossom dies(151456) because this card needed some cheery tiny flowers!

I’m also playing along with this week’s layout from CAS(E) this sketch.

Let’s start this new week of with equal helpings of Love, Faith and Hope! It’s a tough time for all so here’s some happy and bright tulips!

The Timeless Tulips Bundle(153793) is just the ticket and so easy to create with! The stamps themselves have dimension but I wanted to give each tulip a shot of a darker colour so used a Stampin’ Sponge on the stamp itself to add a little Crushed Curry. I did the same thing with Mossy Meadow on the Pear Pizzazz leaves.

The layout is to play along with Freshly Made Sketches so I added the ribbon(coloured with the Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker).

Here’s the list of products used. NOTE: The scroll embossing shown on the card is from a (my bad) retired embossing folder and that is why it is not on the list.

Timeless Tulips Bundle (English) [153793] $42.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	So Saffron Classic Stampin’ Pad [147109] $10.25
Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Pad [147087] $10.25	Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin’ Pad [147104] $10.25	Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad [147111] $10.25	Subtles Stampin’ Write Markers [147156] $40.00
Stamping Sponges [141337] $7.00	Whisper White 1/4″ (6.4 Mm) Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon [151326] $10.25	Snail Adhesive [104332] $9.50	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430] $5.50

Hello to you and welcome! Today’s card uses two great stamp sets, Accented Blooms(151336) and the Painted Poppies Bundle(153827).

I had those lovely flowers sitting in my unfinished projects box so brought them out for this card. They were heat embossed with Gold Emboss powder and then watercoloured using the Pool Party ink refill and an Aqua Painter. Same for the leaves with the Old Olive ink refill.

That simple greeting was cut out with the Tailored Tag Punch(145667) which works beautifully with the Accented Blooms stamp set.

CONGRATULATIONS ON AN ANGLE

Congratulations

Comments

Today’s card was done on an angle. It took a while to figure out how to do it but, here it is!

The card base is Blackberry Bliss and to keep it from being too heavy, I used ordinary printer paper as the backing for the Peaceful Poppies designer paper(151324).

Then, the question was, what to add? So I pulled out the Peaceful Poppies Elements(151327)- perfect!

Why did I create this card this way? To play along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge! It is a challenge for sure, but I’m really happy with the way it all turned out.

Here’s the list of products used. There is still a whole month to go with the Occasions Mini Catalogue so make sure to check out the Peaceful Poppies Suite.

Happy Tuesday to you and I hope this finds you well! I seem to be focussing on flowers a lot lately and today’s Bright Blooms card is no exception!

I had previously cut out that beautiful band and decided that it would be the perfect background for these lovely blossoms from the Bloom & Grow Bundle(151069).

The Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder makes a pretty nice background as well and I couldn’t help pairing it up with a piece of the Woven Threads DSP!

Thank You

How about this daisy? I saw the original of this card on facebook and just had to CASE(copy and share everything) it!

I’ve been trying to use up the Pleased As Punch designer paper so used a piece for the background of this card.

The Daisy Punch(143713) is a great partner for the Daisy Delight stamp set(143669) and I added a few die cuts from the Poppy Moments dies as well. I love the combination of Night of Navy with the white!

It’s Friday and the start of a bright weekend! I’m keeping that positive thought because brighter days are coming! That is the thought that inspired me to pull out Beautiful You(151412) for today’s card.

It seemed only fitting to use the umbrella design from the Pleased As Punch designer paper as the background for that lovely lady!

I am also, playing along with the new Freshly Made Sketches design which made it easy to put this card together.

A little relaxing colouring and it’s good to go!

Do you agree that pretty blooms are one of the best ways to say thank you? I’m using the Bloom and Grow stamp set to send virtual thanks to everyone who is stepping up to help during this time of uncertainty!

There’s nothing better than colouring to relieve stress and pass the time! I also made good use of the lovely Garden Lane Designer paper(149488) for this card. It’s going away soon so the goal is to use up as much as possible!

The great card layout came from the sketch that The Paper Players posted.

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!
