Secret Garden

Secret Garden

I have been wanting to make a floral card using the Perfectly Preserved jar image since I got the set. This card was inspired by one I skimmed past on pinterest a while back, I don’t know who to credit, but the design has been haunting me. I have to admit that I burned myself out on flower cards and haven’t played with any of my floral sets in quite some time, but I thought I would give Secret Garden a shot. I love several of the flowers in the set and the fact that it has a matching Framelit set for cutting them out was all it took to convince me. I am officially falling in love with floral cards again!

I had to stamp the jar on acetate…..also something that I have thinking about for a while. The Perfectly Preserved set is still available by the way, at least until the Spring Catalog expires. I just love the white flowers against the Crumb Cake! The sentiment stamp is from the new catalog and is called Label Love. There is a matching punch….so even more to love!

Thanks for stopping by!

This is one of the cards we will be doing at a Hostess Stamp Camp on Friday. Now that I have played with Dyan’s set, I must have it for my own! This is Pleasant Poppies. I just stamped the image and added a little color to the center of a few of the flowers. Fast and Fun!

Thanks for looking!

Apothecary Art Framed Latch

apothecary art

Hello! OK, if we can get a break from medical issues at our house, I think I’ll finally be back to stamping and blogging! This is a special fold card with a frame that also serves as a latch. Lots of fun.  The picture below shows how it opens.

You create the frame by laying two dies on your cardstock and running them through the Big Shot together. Then you attach them to the card by only adding adhesive to half of the frame and focal piece and attaching them to opposite sides of the gatefold to create an interlocking latch. The ribbon creates a pull for easy opening. I added color to the embossed base by using the direct to paper technique and drawing two colors across the already embossed images. This requires a very light touch, but I love the pop of color that it adds when you need a little extra something on your card. I’ll try to get a tutorial made for this card, so you can try one for yourself, we made these at stamp camp and workshops this month.

Thanks for looking!

Flight of the Butterfly

I have had a lot of searches for a couple of pop up cards that I featured in a kit at StampFest a couple of years ago. I decided to add the tutorials for those cards since there was so much interest in them. I have written quite a few tutorials over the last couple of years and will be adding some of those to my tutorials page over the next couple of months. If you like tutorials, you may want to keep an eye on that page.

This is the pop up card that I made, using the Flight of the Butterfly set. You can find the tutorial here. I’ll go ahead and add the stamping supplies on this post as well. I hope this is helpful for those searching for pop up instructions.

Flight of the Butterfly

Flight of the Butterflies

This is another card from my pop up class. If I used this design again, I would probably add some paper piercing or embossing to the card base. I had already added my inside pop up piece, so I couldn’t do that for this card without starting over!

It is really hard for me to make a card without DSP or embossing, now that I have gotten addicted to both concepts!

The top note die cut is cut in half and used as a layer behind my focal image and the little corner piece has been embossed with a texturz plate and then punched with the Photo Corners punch. The flowers are stamped and cut out and then layered on leaves cut with the little leaves sizzlet die. There is a 1/4 inch punched circle added to the flowers

You can find the tutorial here.
