Follow Your Dreams - Showcasing The Mini Baroque Inspirational Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my previous posting.
Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Today's card is quite a simple one that can be used for any occasion.

All products used to create this card can be found on Phill's Website:-

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used:-

White Card Stock
Mini Baroque Inspirational Sentiment Stamps
Decadent Damask Paper Pad
Decadent Bamboo Colour Cloud Blending Ink
Decadent Bamboo Twinkles
Silver Embossing Powder
Glamour Dust
Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue
Creative Expressions Pearl Strips
Spellbinder Butterfly
Sue Wilson Dies -Noble  Classic Adorned Rectangles
Sue Wilson Perfect Peony Complete Petals

This is what I did:-

Using a sheet of Plain White Card Stock and the 2 largest dies, I cut the shape of the card out.

I then covered this using Decadent Bamboo Colour Cloud Blending Ink.

Next using the 2 smallest inner rectangle dies I cut these out applied colour cloud to the edge. I then backed this on to a piece of Decadent Damask Bamboo paper from the paper pad. (using the patterned side) and attached these to the card.

Sentiment

Using the Mini Baroque Inspirational Stamps I chose
'Follow Your Dreams' as this can be used for any occasion.

Using Silver Embossing Powder I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of plain white card cut to 3 x 2
This was then attached to the card using pads to give dimension.

Finishing Touches 

 Using the Perfect Peony Die I cut enough out to make up one complete flower, shaped this and added to the card.

I then cut out the butterfly and attached to the card leaving the wings free to be able to shape these (as in flight).

I then added glamour dust around the outer border, butterfly and petals, then added Bamboo Twinkles to the centre of the flower.

Finally I added pearls around the edge of the sentiment.

                           Happy Crafting

Decadent Oak - Showcasing the New Mini Baroque Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

 I hope you have all had a 'Good Crafty Weekend'

On with today's card which is a smaller and relatively easier one.

All the product used to create this card are available on Phill's Website:-

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used:-

Cream Card Stock
Decadent Oak Colour Cloud Blending Ink
Decadent Oak P.V.A.

Decadent Damask Premium Paper Pad
Sentimentally Yours Mini Baroque Inspirational Stamps A5
Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels
Sue Wilson Noble Dies - Classic Adorned Rectangles
Sue Wilson Perfect Peony Complete Petals
Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves

This is how I created it:-

I cut the card shape using the largest die.

Then using cream card stock and  the 2 largest dies I cut out the frame. Then edges it with Decadent Oak Colour Cloud before removing from the die.

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

Next I cut the filigree die and again edged in oak , which I then layered on to a piece of Decadent Oak ( plain side) from the paper pad, then inserted this flat inside the frame.

Sentiment 

Using the largest of the two oval dies and Cream Card Stock, I cut this out and used the Mini Baroque Inspiration Stamp, and Decadent Oak Colour Cloud Blending Ink.

I then attached this to the centre of the card using pads, and added Decadent Oak P.V.A. Pearls around the edge.

 Finishing Touches

I cut several flowers out from the Peony Die and inked the petals with Decadent Oak before removing them from the dies.
I then shaped and glued together before attaching to the card.

Once attached to the card I edged the tips of the petals with Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels and added Oak Twinkles to the centres.

Finally I cut the leaves out and once again coloured these with Colour Cloud before removing from the die, then attached to the card.

Good Morning Everyone

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

As promised I am going to post smaller cards, as many of you have requested, so here we go with today's card:- A very straightforward one.

I used:-
Plain White Card Stock
Sentimentally Yours Baroque Sentiment Stamps
Decadent Colour Cloud Blending Ink - Denim
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels

Perfect Peony Complete Petals

I cut the card shape out using the largest of the Noble Dies.

Next I used the 2 middle sized dies and again cut out using plain white card, and once again edged in Denim Colour Cloud. I then attached to card using pads.

I then stamped the Sentiment using Denim Colour Cloud and again around the edges.

Finishing Touches

Using white card stock and the Peony Dies I cut several of these out, and while they were still in the die I used Denim Colour Cloud to blend the petals and leaves.

Sue Wilson French Collection Provence Dies

The first thing I did before cutting out was to colour the Seam Binding with Graceful Lilac Mister Spray. ( needs time to dry)

1st Layer Lilac Paper from Paper pad cut to 7.75 square.
I then cut a strip of the coloured Seam Binding and attached it to the 7.75 square before attaching to the main card.

Next I cut the layers:-

2 pieces of plain white card stock

1st layer - 7 x 4.25
2nd layer - 7 x 2.25

I then inked the edges and attached flat to the main card.

Using the Lilac Card Stock I cut 2 pieces

and attached to the card using pads.

I then cut 2 more pieces of white card

1st - 6.5 x 3.75
2nd - 6.5 x 1.75

Using a small amount of Mica Powder and Mister Spray I blended these together to use as ink, then using the Dragonfly Days Background Stamp I randomly stamped. Once dried I attached to the card using pads to give dimension.

Sentiment

I cut out the centre feature using white and lilac card stock, and the Provence Die.

I chose a Sentiment from the Baroque Collection and then attached to to the card.

Finishing Touches
Using White and Lilac Card I cut out the Dragonflies and attached to the card. I then added the P.V.A. and Glamour Dust.

I added Graceful Lilac Twinkles around the edge of the sentiment.


Finally with the remaining Seam Binding I made a double bow and swags, then finished  off with a Whie  medium size Dazzler.
