Kaszazz - Graduation Cards...

 Hello,

Looking for ideas for a Graduation Card? Following is a selection of square cards all using the Kaszazz Stamp Set called Graduation. 

All five cards are gate-folds with white card bases and coloured layers.

The above butterfly is from Stampin' Up set Papillon Potpourri - embossed in silver.

The wording, caps and scrolls are from the abovementioned Kaszazz set.

I have also used Alphabet and butterfly embossing folders for the white front layer on 3 of the cards.

Exciting times ahead for the Graduates in your life!

See you again soon,

Lavinia Mermaid and Stampendous Turtle Cards...

 Hello,

We are under the sea today - first, I created the backgrounds, then added the stamped images over the top using black ink.  The first card features Guinevere and Shoal of Fish from Lavinia. The cute little turtle is from Kaisercraft's Deep Sea Stamp Set, Sea Grass from Kaszazz and coral from Stampin' Up By The Tide.

Stampendous Turtle Trio (stamped a couple of times hehe) is the image I have used here.

This is Alana from Lavinia with her friends, Kaisercraft Deep Sea (turtle) and Stampin' Up By The Tide (seahorse). 

This happy turtle is Stampendous Sea Turtle and the coral and shell image is also from Kaisercraft's Deep Sea stamp set.

Hope you have enjoyed another under the sea adventure with us!

Fancy-Fold Embossed Card - Crafter's Companion - Ornate Lace...

Hello,

Todays' set of beautiful cards were created using pre-made fancy-fold blanks which have an internal pocket. I adhered an embossed panel to the front flap of the card and using the same colour of card, added a layer on the inside centre and another piece to insert in the pocket. The embossing folder is a 3D Folder from Crafter's Companion - Ornate Lace. Stunning, isn't it!!

The flower was simply stamped in black with a rhinestone centre - Kaszazz Flower and Banner Stamp Set.

I have then faux stitched around all the 'faces' of the card using a black pen.

With the many places to add messages or even photos, this style of card can be used for any purpose.

Hope you are having a creative day!

Lavinia Mermaids Alana and Guinevere...

Hello!

The following Mermaid cards were created using gorgeous stamps from Lavinia. The backgrounds were created first using distress oxide inks etc, followed by stamping the images in black over the top.

The image used above left and below right is the beautiful Alana and Guinevere (above right and below left) is talking to her little seahorse friend who is from Stampin' Up's By The Tide stamp set.

The little fish are also Lavinia - Shoal of Fish. To create the scene around the mermaids, I have used coral from Stampin' Up's By the Tide and Sea Grass from Kaszazz. Some of the sea grass has also been gold embossed  and adding Stickles to the edges of the cards and to Alana and Guinevere's hair helps to bring a pop to the cards.

Lavinia has an amazing range of images, you really should check them out!

See you again soon!

Feminine Floral Cards

Hello

I hope you are enjoying your crafting. For today we have a couple of pretty floral cards.

Camellia Wreath from Kaszazz was stamped on to white card and coloured with pencils and a waterbrush, and the sentiment stamped. The image was then cut using a stitched rectangle die. This was layered on to a purple die cut panel, and the base wrapped with ribbon tied into a bow. The panel was then mounted on to the card front. Pearls and glitter glue were then added for highlights.

This is a square top fold card, with a smaller square of paper layered on top.

The images from Bird Blossom by Stampendous, were stamped on to smooth watercolour card, coloured with pencils and a waterbrush, then die cut. These images were then layered and mounted on to the card front. A stamped and die cut sentiment label was tucked under the raised flower.

Gems were added, glitter glue on sections of the flowers, and glossy accents to the birds eye and beak. Sections of the bird were highlighted with Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Till next time
