Our task this month is to create an outdoor-themed card.
Today, I’m sharing a simple retirement card for a friend who loves the outdoors. It’s easy to make but still impactful. The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper provides an excellent background, and adding the tree elements completes the card beautifully. The trees and sentiment are from the Scenic Adventure Bundle, which I plan to use frequently this summer as it’s versatile for many occasions.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. May sure you hop on to the next stamper.
Stamptastic Friends are sharing Monochromatic cards this month. This one was really a tough challenge for me. But I finally came up with this card I am calling Fresh Freesia Frenzy!
Lots and lots of Fresh Freesia texture fills the front of this card. Let’s break it down.
I started with the Eyelet embossing folder and layered a bunch of die cut flowers from the Impressions Abloom Bundle. To give the flowers some extra depth I sponged Fresh Freesia ink on a few of the images.
You may not be able to see it but I also added Wink of Stella on the small flowers as well as the Rainbow Dots. Sparkly things make me happy.
The sentiment came from Mixed Labels stamp set. You could easily change color of this card and the sentiment on this design and still have a lovely card. Make sure you will hop on to the next friend. You will be very happy you did.
Designer Series Paper is a favorite among many crafters. With each new catalog, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of beautiful papers. How do you feel about Designer Series Papers?
The Wildflower Birthday papers have quickly become my top choice for spring. The soft pinks, greens, and blues are perfect for creating cards for Easter, Birthdays, or Baby showers.
Above, you’ll find a Floating Strips card I made using ¼” strips of Wildflower Birthday paper, adhered to a 4” x 4” clear Window Sheet. After attaching the paper, I die-cut the image with a Stylish Shapes circle, creating a focal point. One of the perks of this paper is the included sticker sheets. I added a few stickers for accents, along with some Iridescent Pearls and a touch of ribbon, resulting in a charming birthday card. Have you tried this fun technique? I hope you’ll love it as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to hop on to the next stamping friend.
