Fanciful Sweet Peas Card

 Hello Crafty Divas and Flower Lovers, I am so excited you stopped by to share a part of your day with me and allow me the opportunity to share my new, fanciful SweetPeas Digi Set with you.  I wanted something fresh, fanciful and delicate like the Sweet Peas in my neighbor's backyard garden.  She has a magical green thumb.  She shares her beautiful blossoms with me- gorgeous bouquets that inspire me!  Come along as I take you on a journey through her flower garden.  This card was created for the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

Suggested card size:  5" x 7"  

To start this Sweet Pea of a card you will need my NEW Sweet Peas 5135J Digi Stamp Set

Using the cluster stamps 2 and 3, size the Sweet Peas cluster 2 image to 3-3/8" x 6-1/4" and place on the left half of page; size the Sweet Peas cluster 3 image to 3-3/4"x 6-1/4" and place on the right half of the page.  Print on Hammermill® white 100 lb. Coverstock.

I chose to use COPIC® markers.                                        One group of three flowers RVOOO, RVOO,  RV1O, RV11 was used.                                  A second group of three flowers RVOOO,  BVOOO, BVOO, BVO2, RV63 was used.        A third group of three flowers RVOOO, RV52, VO5, VO8 was used.  The greenery- YG61, YG63, YG67 was used.

                                                                                                                                                        Cut the Sweet Peas Cluster 3 image to a 5" x 7" rectangle.  Using the Lady E® Designs wave edge die, apply 4-1/4" from the left edge at the top.  Run through Big Shot®.                                                                                                Align the die with the cut pattern for the last 1/2" and run through the Big Shot® to complete the decorative edge.                                                                                                      Repeat the Nuvo® Glitter Glue technique to the outer edge flower petals as shown.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Apply Foam® Tape to the backside of the fussy cut image.                                                                                                                          Carefully align the image to the image on the front card panel.  Peel and stick as shown.

                                                                          Cut a 1-1/2" x 7" rectangle of the Parklane® Lavender glitter stock.  Adhere to the back interior panel on the outer right edge as shown.                                                                                                                                          Using your Lady E Designs® - Wave Die, align on the front of cardbase with the backside of the die at 3-3/4" and lightly trace the backside edge to the front of the card and fussy cut as shown.                                                                

Align and adhere the image panel to the front cardbase front panel.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Make sure your edges align as shown and the glittery interior panel can be seen through the lacey wave edge.

                                                                        Now let's see about embellishing this fresh card creation.                                                                                                                                Cut a sentiment of your choosing from the Lavender Glitter cardstock and adhere on the lower right front panel of card as shown.                                                                                      Randomly adhere several iridescent sequins around the flowers as shown.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Using some delicate lavender yarn from my stash seem to add the perfect touch to my beautiful and fanciful Sweet Peas creation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I always like to dress the backside of my cards as well, it is OPTIONAL...   Using scraps or additional pieces from making the card, I arrange and adhere with a name plaque to the backside of the card.

I hope you enjoyed my little journey through the flower garden!  Stop by my shop on Etsy and pick up your own bouquet of Sweet Peas!

Heirloom Roses Card

 Welcome fellow crafters and flower lovers!  I am so excited that you stopped by to share a part of your day with me.  This spring I was so inspired by my garden- my Knockout Roses went absolutely crazy!  Using Beautiful Blossom's Color Mood Board and the roses from my garden I created my NEW Heirloom Roses 5125J Digital Stamp Set available at my shop on Etsy.

 

These are the roses in my yard... awe inspiring!  I invite you to come along on my journey through the roses. 

They are just beautiful!!  

This is suggested as a 5"x7" card.  

I started this card going in one direction and ended up going a totally different direction after browsing through my stash.  Confined to home after my surgery, I'm discovering "stash goodies" that I had forgotten about!

You will need my Heirloom Roses 5125J  Digital Stamp Set.  Size the Roses to           5-5/8"x3-1/2".  I placed in a 5"x7" rectangle.   Copy and Paste the roses and place in the lower right corner.  You may need to rotate a bit to get it to fit.  Print on Hammermill® White 100lb. Coverstock.

Color your images as desired.  Everyone has their own favorite medium, mine is COPIC® Markers.

I chose a pink, peach and cream color for my roses:

Pink - RV00,  RV custom (50%RV00-50% RV02),  RV02 and RV55

Peach- R20,  R21,  R22

Cream - E50, E51, E53

Leaves - YG61, YG63, YG67

Some of the supplies I found in my stash for this project are as follows:

FSC® -Pretty Posey  (I liked for it's lattice effect and embossing.)

Core'dinations®  - Sugar-n-Spice  &  Pink

Small Pearl Mesh

(3) Medium Pearl halves

3/4" Pink Ribbon  (about 8")

1/2" Lace

Sentiment Die (I chose "Hello")

Cut a 5"x7" rectangle of FSC® -Pretty Posey for your card front.

Adhere the 1/2" lace centered on the 3/4" ribbon.

Adhere the ribbon & lace combo at 1" from the bottom of the FSC® -Pretty Posey to allow for the sentiment.  Be sure to wrap the ends of the ribbon & lace around to the back and adhere.   LET DRY!

Fussy cut both colored images.  One is to remain intact.  One is to be cut into parts as shown.

Wanting to give this image a 3D effect like a fresh bouquet, adhere one layer of foam tape to the backside of the Pink Rose and two layers of foam tape to the Cream Rose.

Carefully align the images and adhere as shown.

Adhere the FSC® -Pretty Posey rectangle to the front panel of your 5"x7" cardbase using EZ Tear® Tape.

Adhere your 3-D colored image along the ribbon & lace, offset to the right as shown.  Remember you still need room for your sentiment.

Cut the mesh pearls apart and adhere one at each of the crosses on the section using Bearly Art® Precision Glue above the ribbon as shown.

Adhere the three (3) medium half Pearls in the lower right corner as shown.

Cut two (2) of your sentiments:  One (1) of the Core'dinations® - Sugar-n-Spice and One (1) of the Core'dinations® - Pink.

Adhere one of the sentiments slightly offset of the other using Beary Art® Precision Glue and adhere in the lower left of the card front as shown.

I like my cards to have that something a little special...  as an option I use some of the scraps, additional parts, etc. to decorate the backside of my cards.  I also add a name badge as shown.

I hope you enjoyed this journey through my rose garden.  I know it made me feel better having the opportunity to share this beautiful spring day with you. 

I hope you will join us again at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and share your delightful bouquets with us.

Hugs,

Jan

Marigolds 'n' Berries Card

Welcome fellow crafters and flower lovers to my blog, I want to thank you for stopping by and sharing a part of your day with me.  This month I was inspired to draw Marigold N' Berries Digital Stamp Set for my Etsy Shop.  The rich colors of the "Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board" for this month brought these images to life... 

Suggested card size is 5"x7".  My Marigolds 'n' Berries stamp set can be found on my Etsy Shop.

I started this image using the Berry stem.

Mirror reversed the image, sized it to 7-3/4"

and angled it.  I drew a whiteout block on 

the lower 1/3rd of the stem.   Then use the

Marigolds 'n' Berries image, size to 8-1/4",

angle slightly over the stem as shown.

Print on Hammermill® 100lb. White Coverstock.

Color your images as desired.  I chose to use

Copic® Markers in the "Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board" colors.

Marigold stems and leaves:

       G12,   YG61,   YG63,   BG18

Marigold Flowers:

       Y11,   Y13,   Y15,   Y19,   R37

Berries:

        BG11,   BG13,   BG15,   BG18

Berry leaves:

       G12,   BG70,   BG72,   Bg75

                                                                           

 Cut the image to fit a 5"x7" card front.

  

My secret to finding the right portion of

an image I want to use is:  I cut a 5"x7"

rectangle window in the center of a piece 

of cardstock and move it around until I

am satisfied and lightly draw the rectangle

around the image I want to use.  Then cut 

it out.  I keep it hanging next to my desk

for quick access.

About 1" in from the right edge using a lead pencil, lightly draw a guideline.

Using an X-acto knife, carefully cut around  

any parts of the image to the right of the line.

this is to enable you to slide your border die

under. 

Depending on the border die you choose

to use you may need to re-align and cut 

from other end in order to cut the full 7".

I am using 5in. length 4 pc. Flower Edge

Embossing® metal dies from my stash.

Using your 5"x7" cardbase,  (Sorry pic is backwards) Trim 3/4" off of the front panel

of the cardbase.Using your 5"x7" cardbase,  (Sorry pic is backwards) Trim 3/4" off of the front panel

of the cardbase.

Open the cardbase and adhere a 1-1/4"x7"

rectangle of DCWV® Double side Teal card-stock to the interior back panel outer edge.

Flip the cardbase,  align and adhere the

colored image to the front panel of the

cardbase as shown. 

                                                                            Using DCWV® Double-Sided Cardstock - Teal

and a sentiment of your choosing.  Cut and adhere to the front panel.

I used a "Thank You" die from my stash.

OPTIONAL - Using scraps from making

the card and an extra image, fussy cut

and make a couple of image pieces.

Arrange and add a name badge.   Adhere

to the backside of the card as shown.

I hope you enjoyed this journey of Marigold N' Berries Digital Stamp Set Instant Digital Download - Etsy.  Available on Etsy.  Join us at "Beautiful Blossoms Challenge" each month for wonderful floral inspiration.
