The grand finale of our STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebrations


Wow what a fun week of 13th birthday celebrations we have enjoyed over at STAMPlorations ! I hope you have too?

These are my final 3 cards I made to showcase some of the brand new products which are in store now.
First up is a card using the fab Focal fronts . I used the coffee and roses one and teamed it with the Nothing makes sense  typografia stamp


My 2nd card is another using the lovely new face stencil


and my final card showcases one of the new Big cupcake colourables with an ATC from the Colour me spring set on top of a sheet of Floral 1 backdrops The daisy background edge was stamped using Fluttery and the sentiment is also from that set.


You still have today to join in with the birthday fun. Remember to head over to the STAMPlorations blog for all the details. It's open to everyone worldwide. 


Happy 13th birthday to Shery and her wonderful brand!

Summer butterflies from Visible Image

Hi Everyone. It's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image.

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple summery birthday card featuring the Antisocial Butterfly stamp set


 paired with a sentiment from Best Birthday Ever set 


and the Seeing Stars stencil.


To create the background, I blended these 3 Distress Ink colours through the stencil, keeping the design fresh and vibrant.

I then stamped the butterfly using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink

 I added the small butterflies to create some movement.

I then stamped the butterfly a second time onto a scrap of white card and added a touch of water colouring using two of the same ink colours to tie everything together.

 After fussy cutting the butterfly, I attached it with foam tape to give the wings a little extra dimension and movement.

 


I then matted onto a red piece of card and then onto a white card blank.

Here is one final photo.

 Below is an alternative version of the same design featuring an inked background created with Distress Spray Stains in the same colours.

I love how versatile this layout is and how easily it can be adapted for different looks while keeping that clean and simple design style.

Thanks for stopping by.

These are my first 4 and will share the last 3 on Friday.

These are 2 cards using one of the new Pocket backdrops. I used the Floral #1 pack for both the backgrounds. The cupcake is from  the Big cupcakes colourables set, such fun and so easy to colour and peeping out behind is a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera which you will find here


My 2nd card also uses a Colourable but this one is from the pack called Big Birthday cakes I teamed it with 2 butterflies from the Fluttery stamp set and a sentiment from the Say it big, enough set  . Again I have tucked a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera behind the sentiment which you will find here

For card number 3 I used one of the brand new face stencils called Profile 1 with distress inks. I paired it with a sentiment stamp from Romantic expressions 1

My final card uses a sentiment from the new Floral magic stickers stickers and a gorgeous image from the new Flowers and coffee focal fronts available here. The background is a sheet of my favourite Faded botanicals collage paper.
