Red Blossoms in Bloom Card

Today I’m sharing a simple card made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. I’ve used a colour scheme of Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Bumblebee. I stamped one of the small flowers on the Real Red cardstock base to give a tone on tone background on the card.

For the focus point on the card I stamped the large floral image on one of the second largest Stitched Rectangles.

I added extra layers using a Granny Apple Green Rectangle cut from the current Brights collection dsp and a Real Red layer cut from the Regals designer from the upcoming catalogue.

To finish off the card I added a greeting stamped on the smallest rectangle die.

Just Jade Butterfly Birthday Cards

Today’s cards are made with the Brilliant Wings and the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Paper Pack. I love when Stampin’ Up! bring out designer paper which has coordinating dies as it makes creating so easy. Whats great about these products is the outline die in the set cuts out six complete butterflies from one sheet of paper in one cut, or if you’re using the stamp set you can simply stamp and cut, meaning you can very quickly end up with a desk full of butterflies like me!

Both background papers also come from the Butterfly Bijou paper pack, I love all the pastel shades and watercolour effects on these sheets so much I’ve ordered a couple more of these paper packs.

The greeting for both cards comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the die comes from the Painted Labels die set.

A little Misty Moonlight Twill Ribbon and a few Enamel Dots and the cards are done. I’m really loving how great Misty Moonlight and Just Jade look together on these cards.

Birthday Card with A Good Man

Here’s the card I’ve sent to my father in law this year, his birthday was yesterday. It’s a simple card made with the A Good Man stamp set and coloured with Stampin Blends.

I’ve used Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray which I think compliment each other perfectly. I’ve added a greeting from the Handsomely Suited punched out from the Tailerored Tag Punch and as a finishing touch a couple of Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots.

Hope he likes it.

Brilliant Wings Thinking of You Card Duo

Today I’m sharing two cards made with the Brilliant Wings Dies. I love the intricate detail of these dies, you really don’t need much else to make a great card.

I’ve added some designer paper from the Fine Art Floral collection to add a subtle background. I stamped my greeting on a label cut from the Tasteful Labels dies. A little ribbon from the Playing With Pattern Combo Pack finishes off the card.

I’ve used Purple Posy on this card as I’m trying to use it up before it retires next month. If you love this colour then now is the time to be placing that order and stocking up. I can’t wait to find out what our new in-colours will be!

Simple Stamping with Hooray to You

Here’s a quick birthday card made with the Hooray to You stamp set and the best thing is it will work for any colour combination you want.

I’ve used a bright and cheery colour combination of Melon Mambo, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie to work with the Artistry Blooms DSP which a used as layer.

Which colour combination would you use?
