Black & Cream - Many Happy Returns

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all for your lovely messages and comments on my previous post, its nice to know you are enjoying the blog:-

Today's card is another small one :-

All the products used to create this are available on Phill's Website 

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used :-

Cream Card Stock
Black Card Stock
Baroque Frame A6 Stamp Set
Mini Baroque Everyday Sentiment Stamps
Black Soot Distress Ink
Sue Wilson Noble Dies - Ornate Pierced Rectangles
Sue Wilson Camellia Open Petals
Sue Wilson Camellia Complete Petals
Creative Expressions Cream Pearl Strips
Cosmic Shimmer Glue

This is what I did :-

First I cut the card shape using Cream Card Stock and the largest of the dies, then cut another piece out and attached to the card blank.

Using the 2nd and 3rd largest dies I cut these out using Black Card and layered it onto cream card.

I then attached this to the main card using pads to give dimension.

Using the smallest pierced die I cut out in cream card to stamp the border. For this I used the Baroque Frame Stamp and Black Soot Distress Ink.
Then attached flat to the card.






Sentiment & Flowers

I cut a piece of Cream Card to 3.25 x 2.25 and chose a stamp from the Mini Baroque Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set, and used Black Soot Distress Ink.

This was then attached to the card using pads to give dimension.

To create the flowers I cut an assortment of these both in cream and black using offcuts of card.

I then shaped and assembled them and attached to card.


Finishing Touches

Finally I added cream pearls around the outer edge of the card and also to the centre of the flowers.

Frosty Sky and White - Especially For You

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my previous post.

Today's card is an 8 x 8 but works just as nice on smaller cards.

All the products I used can be found on Phill's Website:-

www.honeypotcraft.co.uk


This is what I used:-

8 x 8 Card Blank
Plain White Card Stock
Sentimentally Yours Chic Floral Occasions Sentiment Stamps
Frosty Sky Pearl P.V.A.
Frosty Sky Colour Cloud
Frosty Sky Gilding Wax
Frosty Sky Mister Spray
Silver Shine Embossing Powder
Sue Wilson Dies - Noble Double Pierced
Sue Wilson Dies - Caribbean Collection - St Barts
Sue Wilson Dies - Faux Quilled Blooms
Dazzlers
Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels
Cosmic Shimmer Glue

This is how I created it:-

8 x 8 White Card Blank

Using Plain White Card Stock I cut a 7.75 square and used Frosty Sky Gilding Wax around the edges then attached flat to the card using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

For the frame I used the 3 largest Noble Pierced Square Dies and Plain White Card Stock.

I then inked the border with Frosty Sky Colour Cloud before removing from the die.
Then attached flat to the card.

Sentiment

Using Plain White Card Stock and the St Bart's Die I cut this out and again using the colour cloud I inked the edges before removing from the die. Once dry I attached to card using pads to give dimension.

I chose a Sentiment from the Chic Floral Occasion Stamps and Embossed this with Silver Embossing Powder.

Finishing Touches

I sprayed a sheet of white card stock with Frosty Sky Mister Spray, then when dry ( a couple if minutes) I cut several flowers from the Faux Quilled Blooms Die, shaped and glued together before attaching to the card. I then added Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels to the petals and small Dazzlers to the centres.

Finally using Frosty Sky P.V.A. glue I added pearls around the edge of  the card surrounding the sentiment.

Ultimate Baroque Collection - Have A Wonderful Birthday

Good Morning Everyone.

Another day closer to Christmas, so for those of you who have completed their cards I thought we would have a change and do a Birthday Card.

Today's card I created in Black & Cream. All the products I used can be found on Phill's Website -

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used:-

Black Card Stock
Cream Card Stock
Sentimentally Yours Baroque Border Sentiment A5 Stamp Set
Sue Wilson Noble Dies - Ornate Pierced Rectangles
Sue Wilson Dies Laurel Leaves
Sue Wilson Dies Peony
Creative Expression Pearl Strips
Black Soot Distress Ink
Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue

Using Black Card Stock I cut the shape of the card using the largest of the Pierced Rectangle Dies.

Then using the next 2 sizes down and Cream Card Stock I cut these out and attached to the main card (flat) using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

 

Sentiment

Using Cream Card Stock and the smallest plain die I cut this out.

I then stamped across the centre using the Baroque Strip from the Border Sentiment Stamps and Black Soot Distress Ink.

Next I chose 'Have A Wonderful Birthday' from the Baroque Border Sentiments and stamped this again using Black Soot Distress Ink.
I attached to the card using pads to give dimension, then decorated the edges with Twinkles

Finishing Touches

I cut several flowers using The Complete Peony Dies and alternating with Black & Cream Card.

I then cut the Laurel Leaves using Cream Card, then while these were still in the die I used Black Soot Distress Ink to colour the leaves.

I then shaped these and attached to the card.
Finally I added Pearls around the edges of the Black Card and also the Cream layer, not forgetting the centre of each flower.

Good Morning Everyone,

For those of you who went to Doncaster Dome yesterday I hope you managed to stop and say 'hello' to Phill and watch his demo's.



Today's card is one of my favourites and was made as a sample for Phill's  HOCHANDA  show last week.

Spellbinder Bracket Border 2 Dies

This is how I made it :-

8 x 8  Cream Card Blank
 Black Card Stock cut to 7.75 sq and attached flat to the card blank.

I then cut a piece of cream card stock to 5.75 x 6.5
and black card stock to 5.5 x 6 and attached both of these flat to the card.

Next I cut a piece of Cream card stock to 5.25 x 6
and using the Border Die I placed this at an angle and cut it out.

Using the Bracket Birthday Verse Stamp I stamped this using Black Soot Distress Ink, then used the Tartan Trellis Embossing Folder to emboss.

I then trimmed this down to fit before attaching to the card using pads to give dimension.

Next I cut a strip of Cream Card Stock to 5.75 x 1.25
and Stamped this using a stamp from the Brackets of Inspiration. I then embossed it using the Tartan Trellis attached this to the card using pads.
I then cut a strip of cream card to 7.5 x  1.75 and embossed before I attached to the right of the card  again using pads.

 Finishing Touches

I added Cream Pearls to the edge of the border below the sentiment, and cut a butterfly from the Spellbinder Flutters die and used Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels on the wings. I also added a butterfly from a Sue Wilson Die.

Using the Peony Die I cut several of these out, shaped and attached to the card, then added leaves from the Petite Vinery dies.

I then added Glacier Ice to the petals and finally finished with a Dazzler to the centre of the flowers.

                      Happy Crafting.
