Birthday Cards - The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Collection...

Hello,

Another one of my favourite type of images is girl stamps - I must admit I have collected a few - The Greeting Farm, Magnolia, Make It Crafty, Deep Red, Prima and the list goes on...

Today's cards feature some really cute images from The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Collection. There are three images in this set and I have created cards using all three.

I stamped the girl images onto white card, coloured and cut them out, then added to layers of card, patterned paper and a base card. The patterned paper on all three cards is from various Kaisercraft Paper Pads. Flowers are mostly from Kaisercraft and Kaszazz. Happy Birthday is from Stampin' Up's Itty Bitty Banners.

Back again soon with more girl cards,

Hipster Girls & Bella Donna - Kaszazz

Hello

These classy ladies have been created using products from Kaszazz.

Bella Donna was stamped on white card, coloured with watercolour pencils, and die cut using a label shape. This was backed with a larger label shape cut from patterned paper. The rose and perfume bottle (from Nostalgic ladies set) were stamped, coloured and fussy cut. Patterned paper was embossed in the rose folder, wrapped with ribbon and layered on to a white square card base. The Bella Donna panel was fixed on top and the rose and perfume bottle added. Rhinestones were added to complete the design.

The Hipster girls were stamped on white card and coloured with watercolour pencils. They were then matted on to coloured card to match the colour of their outfits. The image panels were attached to paper covered white gatefold card bases. Sentiment labels were added, and gems to finish off.

Have a lovely day

Best Birds - Stampin'up

Hello

For these cards the Best Birds stamp set and coordinating Birds and Blooms dies, from Stampin'up were used.

The birds, branch, and flowers were stamped and die cut, then coloured with watercolour pencils.

The sentiment was stamped on to the background paper (from Kaszazz) and gold embossed. This panel was matted on to white card, then on to a green card base.  The die cut pieces were arranged and layered on top, with a twine bow and a pearl. Gems were added to the birds eyes and the flower centres.

For these two cards the branch and flowers were stamped, die cut and coloured. The birds were die cut from both blue and yellow card, and the opposite colours were inlaid in the negative spaces.
On the orange card the pieces were arranged on a die cut white label, with a stamped sentiment, then on to the papered, ribbon wrapped background panel, before adding to the card.
The second card has the pieces arranged on to the background paper, which was partially embossed, wrapped across with washi tape and a die cut sentiment added.
Gems were added to both cards.

Have a chirpy day
