Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Flower Patch

Hi

Welcome to another Artful Stampers blog hop!

With the influx of any new catalogue comes the neglect of stamps on the shelf...so I pulled out trusty Flower Patch for this card.

I used the sketch from CASE This Sketch as a guide, but I couldn't get the sentiment to work on its side, so I flipped them horizontally. I used the Alphabet Rotary Stamp for the sentiment - a fun vintage typography look.

I had a heap of fun stamping my envelope too....you should stamp your envelopes if you don't already...it's another blank canvas waiting to be adorned! :)

Here are our colours for the challenge...

Stampin' Up! Australia - Create With Connie and Mary - Flower Patch Word Cloud card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary  Thursday Challenge.

I made this card for the challenge this week and experimented with a bit of a 'word cloud' effect for my birthday sentiment. 

The flowers are from Flower Patch and cut with the Flower Fair framelits. I didn't have a large sentiment die cut so I used the 'hello' wooden element from the Hooray, It's Your Day Project Kit.

I cornered the bottom right hand side of my card layers with the Envelope Punch Board corner punch. So handy! :)

Here's our sketch this week:

I'm also going to play along at Seize the Birthday too with my birthday card. :)

Card recipe:

Stamps - Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Flower Patch

Ink - Hello Honey, Garden Green, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand

Cardstock - Whisper White

Tools - Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot, Flower Fair Framelit Dies, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

Accessories - Hooray, It's Your Day Project Kit (Hello Sentiment)

I hope you will join in and create a card with us.....and please feel free to leave me and the other CCMC participants some comments! :)

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #97 - Flower Patch

Daffodil Delight #2

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

Flower Patch.....remember this stamp!? It is still current, but seems to have been forgotten by the interwebs and Pinterest just a little bit.

As I was creating this card, I was reminded of how fun this stamp set was to use in terms of layering.

The colour coach combination for this was Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Night of Navy (which I have done before as part of the Night of Navy colour coach card, but anyway...can't hurt to do a second combo).

The background DSP is from Park Lane and the embossed panel is Whisper White embossed with the Spring Flowers embossing folder.

The middle of my flower is a punched 1/2 inch circle of Daffodil Delight card stock and I covered it with one of the large circles from the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers. It looks really good, but you can't really see it in the photo.

Here is our sketch:

I'm also linking this to Anything Goes at Seize the Birthday since it is a birthday card. :)

....and The Paper Players have a floral CAS theme this week.

Stampin' Up! Australia - The Artful Stampers Colour Challenge #9

Hi

This week, the team have a colour challenge to share with you so I thought I would go all out with the Melon Mambo and colour Blended Bloom with the Blendabilities. 

With my shading I only used the medium and light markers on each petal and I used the dark marker to colour those end curly parts of the petal. The middle was coloured with my Encore Gold ink applied with a sponge dauber. 

It is a very CAS card, but because the Melon Mambo flower is so bold, I felt that to add much else would be competing for the eye. 

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch to help me come up with this card....such a great sketch...you could do anything here! 

Here's the list of blog hop participants.....I can't wait to see what our illustrious leader, Alisa Tilsner has come up with this week! She is next on the hop.
