Birthday Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I can’t stop using the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch!

Today it’s for a birthday card.

This one is really simple leaving lots of white space.

I added some foliage to the card base with Early Espresso ink.

A white layer was stamped with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments using Shaded Spruce ink. This was adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

Blooms were stamped with Balmy Blue ink and punched out. These were added using multipurpose glue.

The Leaf punch was used to cut leaves from vellum and added around the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

CAS Colours and Sketches #352

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

This time it’s a colour challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

The card features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and coordinating Small Bloom Punch available during Sale-a-bration.

To make the card I used Bermuda Bay and Petal Pink inks to create the background. This was layered on to So Saffron card stock and then to a Bermuda Bay card base with dimensionals.

Blooms were stamped with So Saffron ink and punched out. Each was shaped with a ball stylus and adhered to the card. A clear Epoxy dot was added to the centres.

The sentiment was die cut with the smallest shape from the Stitched So Sweetly set.

A Petal Pink bow completed the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
