Amy Design - Sympathy Flower

I have three projects in today's post. Two use the gorgeous Amy Design Sympathy Flower. I have included the third as I used the Creative Expressions Paper Panda Petite Fleur Frame on one of the cards, and I had another card to share that used the same frame.

The first card is a small 4x4card, using the Sympathy Flower to create a simple sympathy style card. The sentiment is Julie Hickey Designs Everyday Sentiments. 

The second show that it doesn't just have to be for a sympathy card. This anniversary card uses Card Deco Frame Card Lacy Dots 4K for the base, and Creative Expressions Paper Panda Petite Fleur Frame (cut in half), along with a Julie Hickey Designs Everyday Sentiments stamp.

The final card today shows the Petite Fleur Frame in its entirety, teamed up with Elizabeth Craft Designs 1592 Garden Notes Nasturtium dies.  The colouring is Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide.

Creative Expressions - Paper Panda Winter Stag

Time for a bit of Christmas for the next few blogs, starting with another Paper Panda die from Creative Expressions today. It's an older one - but I absolutely love it. It's called Winter Stag, and I used it to create two very different projects.

The first is one that would make a really simple Christmas present. You don't even need to do the inky background, as you can replace that with patterned paper. The box frame is 16.5cm square. The background is a combination of Distress Oxide Sprays in Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans and Prize Ribbon; Pixie Burts - Making Waves; and Pixie Sparkles in Blue Wish and Beyond Blue.  A textured white card is also worth using to add interest.

The second project is a window hanger. I used acetate and Shell Pink Alcohol Ink, Villainous Pearl Alcohol Ink and Snow Cap Alcohol Ink Mixative.

And I now have a YouTube channel where I hope to add my video content to in the future. Would love it if you could subscribe.

Creative Expressions - Paper Panda Ornate Christmas

More Christmas and more Paper Panda. This time, it's two cards with the same Ornate Christmas die - just different card styles.

The first is a rocker card, using cream card and gold glitter card.

The second is using it to create a more interesting "edge" on the front of the card.

Both the glitter card and the mirror/satin card are from Crafter's Companion Luxury Card Packs. I really love these packs as they give you different finishes that can be used together or separately.

Creative Expressions - Bee Happy

Two projects today using the Bee Happy die from Creative Expressions Craft Dies by Paper Panda. If you don't know who Paper Panda is, then check out this link.   

For the first one, I teamed the die up with Creative Expressions 3D Embossing Folder Honeycomb trellis for the textured background, and Card Deco Frame Card Lacy Dots 4K die for the base card. The inky background uses Distress Oxide sprays in Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade, along with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder Mango Blaze and Pixie Burst Orange Slice. 

I really love these Card Deco card dies. It just gives something different to the base card - and they are pretty good value for money.

The second card uses the same embossing folder, but this time with patterned paper. I cut into the Bee Happy die cut, to give added interest.
