Todays project is a Pinwheel Tower card and I have used the Hand-Penned suite of products on my project today.
The left has a strip of dsp from hand-penned and a sticker from the hand-Penned memories and more card pack. The die cut is from the Penned dies.
The die cut on the left is from the Floral Squares dies complimented with a sticker from the Hand-Penned memories and more card pack. The stamped image is from Hand-Penned Petals inked in memento and die cut using the Penned dies.
The left has a Hand-Penned Memories and more card pack layer cut in half. The right image is also from the same pack.
The die cut on the left is from the flower market die, sponged using blending brushes with pale papaya, fresh freesia and polished pink. Basic White layer is cut from Scalloped Contours Dies. Flower is pale papaya from the Penned dies. Happy birthday sticker is from Hand-Penned Memories and more card pack
Measurements:-
Basic White = 9cm x 10.5cm - scored at 2cm, 4cm, 6cm, 8cm
Blades = 7.5cm x 10.5cm (blushing bride, highland heather, pool party, pale papaya)
Layers - 7cm x 10cm - hand-penned dsp - choose coordinating pieces to compliment the blades.
Embellishments - assortment of die cut images from the Penned dies as well as , stamped images, Hand-penned memories and more card pack
Burnish all score lines with a bone folder on the piece of basic white. Fold it so that makes a square prism. Add glue on the 1cm flap and attach to form the square prism.
Run the blades through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Stitched Greenery die. Add the hand-penned dsp layers to the blades. Adhere these using tombow glue to the basic white square prism. You now have the basics of the Pinwheel Tower done!! All is left to do is decorate with some die cut and stamped images. Don't forget to use some of the stickers from the Hand-Penned Memories and More pack!
Welcome, todays card is a CASE from Mary Brown. You can see her card here. When I saw her card I just knew I wanted to make it and here is my version.
I started with a basic white base and a black layer. My die cuts are from the Tropical Layers dies and they are Bermuda Bay, granny apple green and pool party. The strips of DSP is from the Sunshine & Rainbows which is Sale-a-bration freebie when you spend $90 or more. Sale-a-bration in Australia ends on 16/3/22. The sentiment is cut out using the stitched so sweetly dies and the sentiment is from the artfully layered stamp set.
Welcome to Technique Tuesday blog hop hosted by The Crafty Collaborations. We are focusing this time on mini card techniques and styles. I thought the Memories and More cards would be perfect for this and so again have used the cards from the Heart & Home card & envelope pack as well as the card pack. These packs make it easy to produce simple cards quickly.
Included in the card pack are layers and stickers which I have used on the front of each card.
This card utilises the stamp set called Blessings of Home and is the perfect image for the front of my cards. On this card it is stamped in night of navy. Notice that my layer matches my envelope and looks really cool.
On this one I have used a card as a layer, and also cut up another card to add interest. Again, have added the stamped flower from the blessings of Home stamp set. The sentiment is a sticker from the card pack as is the bee.
I really loved this garden green card layer with the floral imprinted in white, very classy! So I added a flower in garden green to complement. The sentiment and bee are stickers from the card pack.
For my set of cards I created a box for them. Instructions for the box are in my video below.
Welcome crafty friends, today I am participating in my first Crafty Challenge blog hop from Crafty Collaborations which is a team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world. This challenge uses a sketch, which makes it so much easier for creating when and helps get the creative juices flowing.
My project features products from the Heart & Home suite. For my base I have used the Heart & Home Memories & More cards & envelopes. The card base is very stylish with blue stripes and the envelope matches perfectly with the stripes on the inside. My layers, I have used the Heart & Home Memories & More card pack. This pack is great for adding layers to projects and compliments the card bases perfectly. I stamped the sentiment from the Blessings of Home stamp set in night of navy and added that to the top layer. The strip underneath is one of the cards which is basic white with a gray woodgrain pattern. I have added some polished dots to highlight the pattern on the card layer.
For my focal point, I have used a piece of night of navy cardstock and die cut the medallion from the Encircled in Beauty dies. Using the same die, I then cut a circle out of basic white and added a sticker from the Heart & Home Memories & More card pack.
