Flora Stamp

Today I want to pop by and share a card made using one of my favourite old background stamps – Flora by Simon Says Stamps.

To make this I used Distress Ink Oxide to make the background, cut with round square die and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The birthday wishes sentiment, from Creative Expressions was cut a few times and layered up then adhered to a piece of card coloured, cut to size and edges rounded.

To complete I layered up as shown in the image.

Frosty Friends

It may be warm and sunny outside, but don’t know about you we woke up to a cold frosty morning, reminding us winter is not finished yet.

It made me think I should be starting to make 2024 Christmas Cards as I always end up leaving it too late and not making enough.

Today I want to share one using the Hello Blue Birds Frosty Friends stamps and jumping on the Waffle Flower Postage Dies and Stencils Bandwagon.

To make this card I first cut out cardstock using the waffle Flower Postage die, laid the stencil over it to position the stamps, removed the stencil and stamped, and stamping again to make masks.

I then covered the images with the masks and using the stencil and Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass and Wilted Violet to make backgrounds for the images. I then removed and coloured the friends with my markers.

Next I cut another piece of cardstock and using the outer pattern of the stencil and the distress oxides created a border.

Finally to complete the card I layered the pieces of card onto an A7 with glue.
