Calendula Bloom

Today we have a card from Kim

Kim has used Jane's Clear Magic Calendula Bloom.

Kim has stamped in brown and embossed with clear powder, on the wonderful Woodware Mixed Media Card. Kim has then inked the background and the flowers with dye ink and a piece of cut 'n' dry

the greeting comes from the same stamp set. Kim has then stamped the flower again and dye cut the circle and a larger circle from brown card.

I love the way that Kim has got the watery background on the card, and the vellum strip that she has added to the card.

Crafty Debs has used Jane's amazing Glamour Shoes

Debs has decorated the shoes with Lavender, Silver and Stardust Stickles.

The words all come from the same stamp set. Crafty Debs has used the 2 inch and 2.5 inch circle punches to get the layers.

The background paper is from the 6 x 6 Perfect Print pad.

Bubble Wrap, but not the Plastic Type

I love the idea of adding a wrap around cards, a great way to keep things together when making invitations.

I have used Jane's Lilly Clear Magic Bubble Bloom one of her new releases.

first I stamped and embossed in white on the black Textura 12 x 12 Card

Then I stamped Lilly in black on sheets from the Lavender Mist 6 x 6 Perfect Prints Pad, I used black licorice dye ink from the Stephanie Barnard collection from ColorBox for this.

I then cut out the petals, trimming inside of the black lines.

The stem is rather tricky!

To decorate the bubbles I have used a mixture of Time Flies Card Candi, Stickles in Grape Crush and Silver and White Pearl Pen. These Pearl Pens are really easy to use and hold the shape really well.

the greeting is from the die cut messages and they are great for adding a quick greeting, especially if you like to make cards in advance and then add a greeting to make it perfect for a special person. I have layered it on a punched circle with the big yellow size circle.

Now for the wrap...

The card is a square cut from a folded piece of A4. I cut a strip 2.5 inches wide and then scored it on my Groovy board to make an A4 gate fold card, then I embossed some lines.

I used the Tag Top Punch with the Square Shoulders. I used Lettuce Embossing powder to edge the wrap.

I cut a 2 inch strip of patterned paper and punched it with the same Tag Top punch. then I threaded the dotty ribbon through both ends of the wrap.

The wrap makes for a very special card.

The Silhouette Butterflies have been punched in the patterned paper and from green card and layered together. Debs has decorated the body of the butterflies with Citron Elements.

The words inside come from  You Are some great word stamps from the Francoise Collection. Can you see the slit that Debs has made to hold the card closed? Very clever!

Mixed Bunch

 Kim today with one of Jane's new stamps this one is called Mixed Bunch

Kim has stamped and embossed the image and then used a water-colour technique with dye inks to colour the image.

Kim has then cut away the white card to highlight the image. Kim has then layered the image on to coloured card to compliment the colours that she has used. The greeting is on the same stamp set.

Kim has added a touch of sparkle to finish the card off.

Wire Roses

Today we have a very pretty card from Crafty Debs

Debs has made a very interesting round card with the Wire Roses Clear Magic Stamp from the Francoise Collection. Debs has used the Detail Gold embossing powder, the detail powder is a must if you a stamp with fine lines or a detailed stamp. The embossing acts as a resist so it pops through the colour.

Debs has lightly sponged some colour over the whole card, and has then added some spots of water to move the colour. Debs has then coloured the roses and leaves with Koi Brush Pens so that they stand out from the background.

The words included with the roses stamps. I love the way that Crafty Debs has made a flag for the words.

The dotty organza ribbon and the Mark Richards Rainbow Stones that Crafty Debs has added are a perfect finishing touch.

Bubble Bloom

Bubble Bloom in Black from Crafty Debs

This card is so striking with the circle stamps that Debs has made from Cling-Too, the foam that you use to mount un-mounted rubber stamps. debs has stamped with Colorbox dye inks

I think it is clever the way that Debs has made Jane's Clear Magic Clarissa Bubble Bloom look as if it is a solid stamp. Debs has stamped in black and the coloured in with a Sakura black brush pen. The black Stickles is a perfect finishing touch for Clarissa.

Goal!

Today we have a card from Jane the Flower Girl

Jane says that she has been inspired by 60's fashion, it is strange how or minds work and where they take us!

Jane has used one of her new stamps.

The stamp is JGS477 Football Boot Set.  Yes you spotted it Jane's ball is very close in size to her boot.

The words are from the same set.

Jane has used Shrink Plastic for her boot. It has been stamped on white shrink plastic and then coloured with Sakura Colouring Pencils.

Now if I was making this card I would have just cut some coloured card and tried to get it stuck on straight, but Jane has done it properly!

Yes I know it is soccer in the US!
