Heat Embossed Flower from Botanical Builder

Hi All

Today I am sharing a card I am entering to the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #184 using the Botanical Builder dies.

 

The embossed flower came about after creating brooches for our swaps with other demonstrators at a recent training event. Each layer were pressed on Versamark Pad, coated with the Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder.

For this card, I made the embossed flower using Night of Navy and Very Vanilla card stock and adding Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder in the centre.

Layering Circle framelits for the scalloped aperture and another was used as a stencil to achieve the Copper embossed circle border. Mint Macaron card embossed with Petal Burst Embossing Folder underneath.

We don't have the Copper Metallic Thread so I used natural fibres from our stash for the leaves. They were made using the same method as the flower then cut in to shape.

Hope you like the card and thank you for stopping by

Flower Patch - Blooming Birthday

Hi All

Hope you've had a lovely week and a better weekend to come. I want to share with you a card using the Flower Patch stamp, the matching Flower Fair Framelits Dies and the Deco Label Framelits. 

The idea behind this was using the dies to cut out the card base to help with composition and masking then putting it all back like a puzzle!

Die cut the smallest and 2nd smallest Deco Label framelit at the middle.

Ink around the edges of the label.

Die cut the leaves at the bottom left and the flowers at the top right.

Stamp the matching images on the die cut pieces.

Stamp on the Very Vanilla card, use 2nd Generation stamping technique to add more depth.

Mat onto Navy card and adhere the die cut pieces back.

Stamp sentiment and heat emboss with opaque embossing powder.

Adhere to card stock and add 3 Pearl Basic Jewels under the sentiment and on the flower.

The magnetic platform was very handy for this project in keeping the dies exactly where I needed them!

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges:

Happy Blooming Birthday

Hi All

Time for another post, Thanks for stopping by & i hope you like and get some inspiration from what you see.

Todays card is made using the Flower Patch stamp set. Ive made my own DSP for the background, which I'm really into at the moment. I've stamped several of the stamps from this set in several colours randomly and then die cut the circle in the top centre. Ive also die cut a smaller circle for the sentiment. 

TOP TIP If you keep the die in place and then ink over the die you can achieve the crisp white edge.

 The centre parts of the flowers have been stamped in versa mark ink and then covered with red embossing powder. I love this technique.

To finish I've layered the whole piece onto blackberry Bliss card stock and raised the sentiment with dimensional pads.

I was quite happy with how this turned out.

Please feel free to leave a comment 

Thank you

Barry

Mitosu Crafts Stampin' Flower Patch

Hi All

Here is a simple card I made using the Stamping Up! Flower Patch stamp set. I have incorporated the stamp set with the Lyra Gemini die from Sue Wilson.
The flowers and leaves have been arranged onto the red card and layered using the dimensional pads from Stamping Up! to give it some depth and interest.
For extra interest I have stamped the sentiment using versamark and embossed with a red embossing powder.

Thank you for looking

Mitosu Stampin' Hooray It's Your Day - Birthday Card

Afternoon all 

Here is another card I have done using the Hooray It's Your Day & the Sheltering Tree stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

It's a very simple card and I've only used the brush stoke stamp from the Sheltering Tree set in several colours. I've stamped doing a first and second generation stamp technique. The sentiment is just stamped in black ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to add a bit of texture. I've finished the card off with a mat & layer lost lagoon card stock. 

If you have any questions or would like to purchase any of the products used please click the links to my shop below or you can contact me directly.
