Blue Flowers

Posted on July 11, 2025 11:11 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today I have flowery card in shades of blue. It’s not hard to make, just one die for all of the flowers and leaves cut out of coordinating blues and a couple of greens. The background was quickly and lightly stenciled with 2 shades of blue ink. Add a pair of frames, arrange the flowers and add a flower wrap and done!

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting Kuyike & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration. I liked the blues on a white background,

To make my card, I used the Spring Flowers dies and cut all the flowers out of 3 shades of blue & the leaves out of a couple of greens. I also cut a few flower centers & the bow out of white for a little contrast, Then it was just a matter of arranging the flowers out of the colors. I did a little flower shaping before attaching them. The background was lightly stenciled with 2 shades of blue inks & a flower stencil. The flowers & the wrap angled over the background, The frame is an all in one die & it was cut out of the darker blue & lighter green.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Glitter Rose Border

Posted on July 5, 2025 9:48 PM by Julie Comment

This is a clean and simple card, perfect for a birthday. The glitter paper gives it a nice sparkle for that extra something. The recipient will think you spent all day, so it will be your little secret about how quick it was to make. All you need is 1 die, 1 greeting with matching die and some paper.

A big congrats to Jean, the newest Featured Stamper FS961! She has a lovely, growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the border feature but switched sides with it, moved the greeting & made mine an A2 instead of a square easel.

To make my birthday card, I die cut the beautiful rose border once out of white & once out of a pink glitter paper. This glitter paper has a coating on top to keep the glitter contained & a sticker back. I cut a piece of the green glitter paper in a narrow rectangle to fit behind the white die cut. I used the peel off back of the pink version as a stencil, placed it on top of the green rectangle & colored a few of the leaves w/ a pine green Copic marker. This mask was also used to trim off the right edge to match the white overlay. I attached the overlay then pieced in only the pink areas. The greeting was die cut & I used the same die to cut one green & one pink version the offset them for the shadow. The picture below shows the mask of the backing paper.

So only a little paper piecing & a little coloring in to give it some variance of color.Truly CAS!

Flowering Birthday Tree

Posted on July 4, 2025 10:04 PM by Julie Comment

I have a happy, bright pink flowering birthday card to share today. The pink really came out lovely and the little bit of bright green really adds the perfect touch. This card is not hard to make. It only takes 1 stamp, 1 stencil, a few inks and a few dies to make this cheerful card.

Happy Independence Day! It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge IC1022 & we are visiting Style Motivation & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS lovely picture. The pink flowers & white background really caught my eye.

To make my card, I cut a large white panel then placed the stencil on top & blended the pinks, going from light on the outside of the circles to darker in the center. I had a white piece of card stock already cut with the deckle edge so I stamped the greeting on the lower part of it. The tree was cut out of white & I cut a second out of gray to offset for a bit of a shadow along one edge. I used the same gray to back the stenciled panel. I used the same pinks to blend another piece of white for the flowers & a small piece using the greens for the leaves. After die cutting these, I did a little shaping & attached them to the tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
