Squigly Flower Shop Card

Here's another one of the cards we made with the Flower Shop stamp set. All the flower stamps are different and all can be punched out using the Pansy Punch. I call this the squiggly flower:

 

 

We stamped the flowers down the edge and then cut round them. We then stamped some separate flowers and added them with 3D pads. Some Rhinestones finished it off. We also stamped the envelope flap as you can see below. x

 

 

Autumn Wreath

Morning everyone, I don't seem to be able to stop making these wreaths. I just love them. This is my version of an Autumn Wreath.




I used the Sweater Weather designer papers and the Autumn Accents die. I also used the Burlap ribbon  to make my flowers and the Vintage Faceted buttons to add a bit of bling. Most of the leaves were textured with a variety of embossing folders and sponged round the edges.

Here's a close up of the 'flowers'. The big one was made by just sewing a running stitch along one edge and pulling the ends together. The small one were made in the same way but I cut the ribbon in half lengthways first.

 

All products can be found in my shop as usual. x 

 

Vellum flower shop cards

I've realised that I haven't shown you these Flower Shop cards, which we made some time ago in one of our classes.

 

 

We used the Flower Shop stamp set with the matching Pansy Punch. If you're going to stamp onto vellum, you need to use StazOn so that it doesn't smudge and dries quickly. The sentiment panel has been cut using the Window Frames Collection dies and the Big Shot. Here's a close up of the flowers. I used a dauber and Daffodil Delight to colour the flower centre:

 

 

Here is each card again:

 

 

The sentiments are from a set that is now retired but there are lots of other sentiments you can use. I hope you like these cards. They have a lovely delicate feel to them. x

 

 

 

Meet me by the Well bookmarks

I was recently asked to make some commemorative bookmarks for a church event. The theme was 'Meet Me By The Well' and I had to make 100 of them.

I made a small 'wallet' and used the Two Tags die (now retired) to make the bookmarks. I printed some pictures of a well and also printed the labels. I stamped a flower image as background on the book mark and used the Trust God stamp set for the sentiment.





Here are all 100 of them. The colour combinations are: Island Indigo/Pool Party; Raspberry Ripple/Pink Pirouette; Elegant Eggplant/Wisteria Wonder and Night of Navy/Bashful Blue (retired).

 

 It was a lot of work but the effort was appreciated.x
