Roses Roses 2 Cards with Roses

I don't know if I mentioned it before or not, but I just love this layered rose stamp from Sunny Studio!  It is the easiest layering stamp I have ever used.  I get perfect roses every time.  Pair it with Altenew's ink cubes and you have a match made in heaven.  Today I created two cards using these items.  A supply list is listed at the end of this post.


I started with the card on the right.  I used a Rich Coral card base.  I then stamped several roses onto Whip Cream cardstock using the Everythings Rosy stamp set from Sunny Studio.  I used the Altenew Tea Party ink cube set and FSJ Pomegranate Splash inks for the roses and Altenew Green Fields ink cube set for the leaves.  After they were all stamped, I used the matching die set to cut them all out.  




I also die cut the Spellbinders Venise Lace die out of Whip Cream Cardstock and used it as a background.  The roses and leaves were then arranged in the lower left side of the card and glued in place.  One rose was popped up with foam squares.  

The sentiment was cut from both Whip Cream and Black Licorice cardstock using the Spellbinders Phrase Two die set.  They were glued offset to create a black shadow behind the white lettering.  Then glued to the front of the card.  


The second card was created with a Whip Cream card base.  I then had some alcohol ink cardstock that I had created a background on using Pink Sherbet, Red Pepper and the gold fixative.  I used the outline die from the Venise Lace die to cut the scallop edge and attached the piece to the card base.  



I had an extra rose and some extra leaves from the first card so I attached them to this panel and added a Whip Cream die cut sentiment using the Phrase Two die set.  


These were two pretty quick and easy cards to create.  If you haven't tried the alcohol inks yet, give them a go.  They are really easy to use and fun to play with .  You tube has tons of videos showing the different ways they can be used.  

I hope you enjoyed these two cards.  Let me know in the comments below.  Please share this blog with all your crafty friends.  I would really appreciate it. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Small Die of the Month - January

I must say that this month's small die of the month from Spellbinders is sooooo very cute and versatile that it is becoming one of my favorites.  Today I have created another card using  it and my all time favorite die set Snapshot Frames from Fun Stampers Journey!  I have listed the supplies used below.


I started off using a Raspberry Berry card base.  I then found some cute polka dot paper from my stash to add as a mat.  Then, I die cut the snapshot frames die from Black Licorice.  The background for my "photo" was cut from Whip Cream Cardstock and sponged with Pool Play pan pastel using my small dauber.



I then cut out and assembled my little girl using the die of the month.  I decided to enhance her hair by adding some streaks using my copic markers.  I also added highlights to her eyes with a white gel pen.

She was then glued to the card and the frame.  I decided to have her arms and hair outside the frame area.  I cut a Watermelon Fusion heart using the snapshot frames die set and popped it up onto the frame using foam squares.  The highlight on the heart was also added with the white gel pen.  I then added the sentiment from the Too Cute stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.



As a final touch, I added some pink twine bows to her pigtails.

I LOVE how this card turned out!  You could substitute the boy from the set too if you wanted to.  Either way it was a really fun card to create.

A Cup Full of Love

I purchased this Altenew Vintage Tea Cup stamp and die set several months ago and haven't used it yet.  So I decided to use it to create a Valentine's day card. I combined it with products from other companies to create this card.  All supplies used are listed below.



I started with a Pomegranate Splash base card.  I then added a piece of this pretty striped paper from Authentique.  The fancy square was cut from Watermelon Fusion cardstock using Floral Assortment die.  I then added a Whip Cream Square cut from the Vintage Stitched square dies.  

The teacup and saucer were stamped using Black Licorice ink onto Watermelon Fusion cardstock and cut using the matching die set.  The polka dots were stamped using clear pigment ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  


Using a craft knife, I cut a slit inside the rim of the cup and then cut several different size hearts from Bubble Gum and Candy Apple cardstocks using heart dies from my stash.   I then added some Journey Glaze to some of the hearts.


I decided to leave it as is and not add a sentiment.  I hope you like it and will give it a try for yourself.
