Woodsy Wonderland Cards - Heartfelt Creations

Hello

We are down in the woods today.

Heartfelt Creations Woodsy Wonderland Collection was used to create these fun cards.


I started with a white square card base which I matted with a layer of green card .5 cm. smaller all round than the base, then added a slightly smaller layer of striped patterned paper. A frame was created from slightly smaller white card which was then embossed with a leaf design. The  frame was added to the base using Magic Mount.
A varied selection of images were stamped, coloured and die cut, then arranged and layered inside and around the frame. A stamped and die cut sentiment was added.
Gems, Glossy Accents and Glitter pen were used to highlight the design.


For this card the Daydream Bridge image was stamped, then coloured with watercolour pencils.
This panel was matted on to dark green card and added to a white card base.
The bridge image was stamped, coloured and die cut, then mounted over the corresponding image on the main panel.
Stamped, coloured and die cut critters and birds were added, along with a stamped and die cut sentiment.
Gems, Glossy Accents and glitter pen finished the design.

Have a wonderful day

Promenade Centre Stepper - Kaszazz

Hello

I hope you are all keeping well.

For this tall centre step card, I have used papers from Always and Forever collection, by Kaszazz.



Love letters paper was cut to fit the side and bottom front panel of the card base and added.
The image panel was cut from Promenade paper and matted on to deep red card then layered to the centre panel.
The with love sentiment and the small leafy flourish behind the roses was die cut from black card, and again from Love letters paper, and fixed together, slightly offset, to create a shadow effect.







White card was stamped with Vintage rose image and a sentiment, then die cut with a stitched rectangle.
This was attached to Love letters paper and added to the inside of the card for a greeting.






Roses were created by stamping Heartfelt Creations Classic roses on to red card, with black ink, then die cutting and shaping in their Classic roses mould. These were assembled in layers, and stamens added. The roses were then arranged and fixed to the card.

Stickles glitter glue was added to the roses, and Wink of Stella glitter pen to the lamps. The with love sentiment was coated with Glossy Accents, and gems added to the top corners.

Have a lovely day

Till next time

Mountain Air - Stampin'Up

Hello

Looking out the window and dreaming of the mountains.

This 2 step centre step card features Mountain Air, stamps and dies from Stampin'up.


The background was created by stamping the reverse side of the mountains stamp, twice, at different levels, inking only once, using Versafine ink. The sky area was shaded with Distress ink, and the birds then stamped.
The mountains were stamped on to separate card, shaded, then die cut.
The tree line was stamped twice onto another piece of card, shaded, then die cut along the upper row.
Trees were also stamped, shaded and die cut. 


The pieces were assembled by adding the mountains with trees tucked behind, then layering the tree line over the base of the mountains. Additional trees were added to the side steps, and a cloud was die cut and added to the sky.
A sentiment from Stampscapes was stamped, shaded, then fussy cut and added to the card.
A panel was stamped and added to the inside of the card, for a message.

Have a peaceful day

Till next time
