Charming Duck Pond 03 - Stampin'up

 Hello

Hope you are well and enjoying your crafting.

This is a third set of ideas using Lily Pond Lane papers and Charming Duck Pond stamps and dies from Stampin'up.

For this square card I used Turquoise card and paper for the base. The frame is cut from the reed paper and slightly larger  Peacock card and layered together. This has been mounted using dimensionals. Die cut ducks and a brass dragonfly were placed in the centre. A stamped, coloured and die cut frog, and some die cut reeds, lilies and lily pads were added. The stamped sentiment is layered across the bottom. Ombre dots, glitter glue and Wink of Stella pen were applied for highlights.

Grey Granite card and paper form the base of this card. The reeds were stamped in grey on to white card using 1st and 2nd generation impressions. A panel of the reeds paper was added, along with some stamped, coloured die cut reeds, and a stamped, coloured and die cut duck. The hello friend stamp was masked and stamped on to blue card and attached. Brass dragonflies, cork rounds, dappled dots and pebbles were added. Glitter glue was applied to the rushes for sparkle.

This is a larger 12.5 x 18 cm. card. The paper is cut in three sections, and the centre panel layered on to Balmy Blue card. The side pieces were taped to a peacock card panel and the centre section was mounted with dimensionals. The whole piece was then layered on to the card base. The sentiment is stamped directly on to the paper. Ducks, fussy cut from the papers, were applied with glue dots. Die cut reeds, lilies and lily pads, were added. Ombre dots, brass birds and dragonflies, pebbles and flower gems add highlights, and glitter glue and wink of Stella add sparkle.

This fourth card again has a peacock card base. A paper was cut to size and an oval die cut from the centre. A  Stitched  Shapes oval was die cut from peacock card and matted behind the paper oval. The paper panel was taped to the card base and the oval piece mounted on top. The sentiment from Heron Habitat stamp set was stamped on to paper  and attached to a stitched shapes oval die and added with dimensionals. Ducks were fussy cut from the papers and added with glue dots. Lilies and reeds were die cut and added. Ombre dots, brass birds and dragonfly, pebbles and flower gems add interest. Glitter glue and Wink of Stella were applied for highlights.

Have a great day.

Till next time

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Seymour and Voyages

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 9 and 10. I have named these ones: Seymour and Voyages.

I have not yet decided which photos to use in this album - the options are endless! When preparing the photo frames, I have adhered only part of the frame and will slip the photo in underneath and then adhere as required.

I hope you have enjoyed my Steampunk Spells Layouts and will be inspired to create many multi- layered layouts! 

Thank you for following along with my album and hope to see you again soon!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Keys and Potions

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 7 and 8. I have named these ones: Keys and Potions.

Have you been following along with my layouts? Have you spotted the antics of black cat? Sometimes he is front and centre - other times he is cheekily peeking out from behind the photo frames...

Have you also spotted the stamped owl and little black heart stamped on every page? I enjoyed creating these pages so much that I think I will create a further 10 pages as I have so many more Halloween papers and elements!

Only 2 more pages to go for this album!

See you again soon!
