Me And My Daily Papercraft

I’m having a great time creating these floral cards with a bit of dimension…takes a bit longer but the end results are worth the effort..

For my first card, I have used Altenew Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp set with Altenew Crisp Inks to create the various layered flowers and leaves..I then die cut these images and set them aside…

I chose a sage green cardstock for the front panel and then for a bit of interest I used white pigment ink and Catherine Pooler Perfect Vine stencil to create a subtle background…I added the die cut flowers and leaves on this panel using some adhesive foam squares..

The sentiment on this card is from MFT About Mom stamp set which I have heat embossed on black cardstock using Altenew Rose Gold Embosssing Powder…and finally, to embellish my card I have used Essential Jewels from Pinkfresh Studio..

My second card has a background panel that I created just by sponging on some Distress Oxide Inks – tumbled glass and spun sugar…I splattered some Altenew metallic gold watercolor on this panel and adhered it to the card base once dry…

On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the flower images from Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers and Focus On You stamp sets and heat embossed them using the Antique gold embossing powder…

I coloured in the images with Altenew Watercolor brush markers and then adhered them to the card front using adhesive foam squares….The sentiment for this card is from Clearly Besotted Stamps called Happy Everything and I have added some jewels to this card as well to embellish it..

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today…have a happy and creative day ahead..!!

I have finally been able to use the Altenew Floral Alphabet stamp and dies…I never got around to using these somehow…I think this set is a great size to use on tall/long cards too…

My card today is a simple one for which I have used Taylored Expressions Square Windows stencil with picked raspberry Disress Ink…I also splattered a bit of water and dabbed it with a paper towel….

I adhered the stamped and die cut alphabets to create the word ‘love’ and stamped the rest of the sentiment from Altenew Smiles and Hugs stamp and my card was ready..

Thank you for stopping by my blog today…hope you will have a blessed and happy day ahead..

I have always loved making backgrounds for my cards…and I think my newest favourite is making dimensional backgrounds…it takes a while to make these backgrounds, but the end result is quite worth it…

For my first card I have used MFT stitched flower die set and die cut the flowers and leaves from various coloured cardstocks…I then adhered them onto a peach front panel and cut of all the excess before adhering the panel to the card base…

I added a gold heat embossed sentiment from MFT About Mom stamp set on a black label and adhered it to the card front…to embellish my card i have used quite a few gold confetti sequins…

For my second card, I stamped and heat embossed various leaves from the MFT Geometric Greenery stamp set and then coloured them in with Altenew watercolour brush markers…once dry, I die cut the leaves with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the card front using foam tape…

The sentiment on this card is from a Heffy Doodle stamp set called Special Day Sentiment Duos which I have heat embossed on a black label…I added some white rhinestones to embellish my card…

Thanks heaps for stopping by to take a look at my cards today…have a happy and crafty day ahead…

When I’m unsure, I usually try out a few combinations of images and backgrounds to see which one would look better…and sometimes I’m able to make more than one card this way…

Both my cards use the Altenew Dotted Starburst Debossing Cover Die for the front panels and Altenew Vase Fillers stamp set with Altenew Mod Vases stamp set for the images…

I have used crisp dye inks to stamp the vases and the flowers and the sentiments for both cards are from the Altenew Sentiments and Quotes stamp set..

This year I decided to make all Mother’s days cards with a floral theme…so I pulled out stamps sets from my stash that I hadn’t used in a while…I started with a simple card today which uses Fancy Flowers stamp and die set by My Favorite Things…

I started by splattering a small amount of black ink on the front panel before adhering it to the card base…on a separate piece of white cardstock, I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and leaves…I coloured them in using watercolours and once dry, I adhered them to the card front…

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Avery Elle Loads Of Happy stamp set and added it to the card using some foam tape…and finally I added some black rhinestones to embellish my card…

Thank you so much for stopping by…hope you are well and taking good care…happy papercrafting..!!

I tried out two cards with the same design but used different mediums to colour the background panel…the end results of both were pretty and shiny so I was quite happy that my ‘experiment’ didn’t need to be binned..

First, I stamped the Simon Says Stamp Circle Doodle background stamp on watercolour cardstock and heat embossed them with Altenew Embossing powder…

For the first panel, I carefully sprinkled various Nuvo Shimmer Powders and then spritzed some water on it…it is quite a magical process as you see the colour move around..

For the second panel I used Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers for a bit more controlled colouring… I then sprayed some Perfect Pearls powder mixed with water over the panel to get a similar shine on it as the Nuvo Shimmer Powders…

Once both the background panels were dry, I used some black glitter cardstock to die cut the sentiment from Altenew Bold Greetings and then added a lace border at the top using Altenew Creative Edges Lace Die…I have also added a few black Nuvo drops to embellish these cards..

I really like how the cards ended up with a bit of a retro look…thanks so much for stopping by my blog today…happy crafting..!!
