Creative Expressions - Dotty Flourish

Just one project today - a lovely Thank You card that uses the lovely Dotty Flourish 3D Embossing Folder from Creative Expressions.

I used a traditional emboss on the back layer, with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide. The green layer is also using the folder. I embossed a piece of wax paper, ironed it onto Faber-Castell Mixed Media paper, and then inked over with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide. At first look you wouldn't believe that the green layer has been created with the folder!! 

The sentiment is Julie Hickey Designs Everyday Sentiment Stamps, and the flowers are Elizabeth Craft Designs 1368 Garden Notes Dahlia.

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 - Petunia Flower Square

A couple of little projects using Creative Expressions Petunia Flower Square by Sue Wilson. It's a cute little die, which makes a great focal point. I have made two quite different looking projects with it - but used the same paper piecing technique.

The first is pastel and pretty and fussy. I have used the Card Deco Frame Card Lacy Dots 4K to cut out the base card from Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Gold. I have layered pastel card with another piece of Centura embossed using Creative Expressions Dotty Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. 

This one is less fussy and uses just shades of green with white.

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.

Crafter's Companion - Botanical Garden Cut & Emboss Folder

Two projects today using the Botanical Garden Cut & Emboss folder from Crafter's Companion. One is a card, and the other a box.

For the card, I inked the folder with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide, and then cut it out from pale green card. The brick effect through the aperture is created using AALL & Create Stencil #38 Cracked Walls 2, and Antique Linen Distress Oxide onto cream card. The flowers are using Elizabeth Craft Designs 1638 Garden Notes Crocus.

For the aperture box, I used Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Gold card, with Elizabeth Craft Designs 1590 Garden Notes Grecian Windflower.

AALL & Create - #287 Dirty Games

Another one using an AALL & Create stamp set today. This one was designed by Olga Heldwein.  I have another project with this stamp set which I have blogged previously. Click here for a look, as I have used more from the stamp set on that one than I have here.

This is a really simple card, stamped with Spectrum Noir Finesse Waterproof Ink, and using just two Distress Oxides to colour it in - Ground Espresso and Tattered Rose.

Jeanine's Art - Butterfly Flowers

A lovely selection of projects today using the beautiful Jeanine's Art Butterfly Flowers Collection.

The first card uses Ranger Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper - Gumball, Sunshine Yellow, Limeade and Valencia for the background, in conjunction with the Mandala Circle die set from collection.

The second uses the Mandala Circle and 4-in-1 Corner dies.

I LOVE this Hydrangea die from the collection. To achieve the colours, I coloured a piece of card using Shaded Lilac and Seedless Preserve Distress Oxides, and then die cut it.

This ombre card uses just the 4-in-1 Corner die set, with an ombre selection of cardstock from my stash.

And the last card uses an inky background created using Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders in Mango Blaze, Peacock Green, Aqua Lagoon and Purple Violet, along with Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Sprays. The die set is Butterfly Borders from the collection.
