Layered Floral Cards - Tubby Craft DT

Happy Weekend!

As promised I'm back with a couple of cards made using the Tubby Craft Camelia Layered Flower stamp set.  With the weather getting a little miserable I thought I'd make a bright and colourful set of cards using the vibrant Tubby Craft inks to cheer myself up!

For my first card I've gone with a clean and simple look using Tubby Craft inks to stamp, concentrating on the bottom right hand corner of the card.

I finished off the card by matting onto a yellow background and adding a heat embossed sentiment from the same stamp set.

My next card happened a little by accident.  I was testing out colour combinations with sets of inks while layering and I decided I to use them all on a card.  I fussy cut the small flowers out and arranged them on a half cut wreath die.

I spattered gold shimmer spray on the patterned paper to form my background and stuck on the wreath and flowers.  To finish, I added a glitter die cut happy birthday sentiment.

Have a great weekend!

Paper Straws - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

We took the boys with us to vote yesterday as they had already been doing some work on voting at school.  My eldest was not impressed that nobody won this morning.

Over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Dawn has set the challenge this week to use paper straws.  We have loads of straws in the house but they're all plastic and although I can see my boys using them on their projects I thought they looked a little cheap for mine.......so I made my own!

I'm still on the Father's Day theme although a little more grown up this time.  However, I did have fun spraying the background and making my own straws!  I thought it would be a fun activity to do with the boys in the holidays.

I heat embossed the wooden frame to give it a glossy sparkly look and used foam stars and sequins to embellish.

You can see all the wonderful inspiration my fellow DT members have created HERE.  I hope you'll join in!

Enjoy your weekend,

Creating with Sarah Hurley's Beautiful Botanical Stamps

Happy Friday!

I must share some work I did a couple of months ago with some stamp sets that Sarah Hurley designed. They are the Beautiful Botanicals range and consist of A5 packs of clear cling stamps.

I used one set with a patterned background and inks to create this:

Another set I used with chalk inks and Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spritz to create this:

Finally, I used distressed inks with the stamps to create this:
