Apothecary Art - final offering

Hi everyone, this is the final card we made in class on Wednesday. I hope you're not bored of the Apothecary Art stamp set yet. This one is simple but effective:


This shows the luscious pleated ribbon in all it's glorious detail:

The middle circle was coloured and then punched out, using the 1" circle punch. The rest of the colours and tools are the same as before:

Here are all the cards together. The sun was just peeping in, reflecting on the window but who's complaining when we finally get a bit of sun eh?

If you fancy joining us at one of our card classes, please don't hesitate to contact me. It only cost £12 to make all these lovely cards and have lots of fun. x 

Apothecary Art - Card number 3

Hi everyone, I don't want you to get bored with this stamp set and my posts so I won't keep repeating the same information. I'll just say that this card uses the same colours, designer papers and tools as the other cards I have already shared with you. Here's the third card:



This one uses the pleated satin ribbon in Blushing Bride and in this photo you can finally see I really did use Rich Razzleberry card:

Here's a close up of some of the colouring. I used Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz inks with a blender pen:

Well, I've nearly shown you all the cards we made in card class. Check back soon for the last one soon. x

Apothecary Art in Pear Pizzazz

Morning everyone. This is another one of the cards we will be making today. This one is in Pear Pizzazz with a Rich Razzleberry base card (although it looks brown in these photos):




The paper is from the Twitterpated designer papers and the ribbon is the lovely pleated satin ribbon, in Pear Pizzaz. Here's a close up of the stamped Apothecary Art panel, die cut using the Framelits Label dies and coloured with ink pads and a blender pen:

The edge was created using the Scallop border punch and this photo shows how I added a few pearls to the centres of the flowers:

I'll show you another card in a few days time. Hope you like this stamp set as much as I do. Contact me if you want to buy any of the supplies. x

Apothecary Art 70th Birthday

Hi everyone, I thought I would share this 70th birthday card with you today. I made this for my mother-in-law's birthday a couple of weeks ago. This card happens to use the Apothecary Art set which we'll be using in class on Wednesday:





Photos never seem to do cards justice but this is an A5 card, using Perfect Plum for the base colour. The strip down the middle is Crumb Cake, embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder aand the Big Shot. You can see the embossing in more detail in this photo as well as the '70' which was die cut using the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, and decorated with pearls.


I used Pink Pirouette for my contrast colour and added a Pretty in Pink bow with one of the beautiful vintage brads in the centre:

I stamped the image from the Apothecary Art stamp set in grey ink and coloured it using ink pads and a blender pen:

I cut out some of the flowers to 3D them. Fidddly, but worth it I think:

As before the Framelits labels dies match the stamp shapes exactly. I hope you like this card, my mother-in-law did. I'll be showing you the other projects from card class over the next few posts. Check back soon. x 

Apothecary Art card classes Wed 27th

Good evening everyone. I have been very remiss and not told you about the next card class. It's on Wednesday 27th June and we will be using the lovely Apothecary Art stamp set. Here's one of the cards we will be making:




I have used lots of lovely products on this card. Can you see how the new framelits dies match the stampset shape exactely? Stampin' Up! are doing this more often now and I'm sure there will be more matching products when the new catalogue comes out in October. Also, what about the sumptious pleated ribbon? Here's a close up: 

For this card I have used Pear Pizzazz as the base colour and Rich Razzleberry as the contrast. The ribbon is also in Pear Pizzazz. The papers are from the Twitterpated designer series papers (remember there's a special offer on the papers during June - buy three packs and get a fourth pack free). We will be doing some colouring in this class using the ink pads and blender pens. We don't often do any colouring so if you enjoy colouring your stamping, then this is the class for you:
