Damask Stepper Card

Hiya crafty friends,

I went for a clean and simple look for my Clare Curd Crafts project today.

 

I love the colour of this sage ribbon so that was my starting point. Which I also used to matt and layer and go across the front paisley embossed front panel.

 

The label and the side panels were stamped with the lovely Damask stamp, using  Memento New Sprout ink and finished off with two Papermania gem brads.

Fanned Flower Card

Hiya crafty friends,

I found this cut file for this flower on the Silhouette store and fell for it. I loved how it looked and the dimension it gave. It is slightly fiddly but still simple to do, but I think it is well worth it in the end.

This is how I made the flower.

First I cut out 15 of the perforated circles from a sheet of Prima's Believe 6x6 paper pad

And I folded it as follows:

I then covered a small square of card with some adhesive and began to place and stick each of the folded circles beside each other, which begins to form the flower.

 This is how it looks on the back

 And once all 15 are placed together and the top 'petel' are pushed down they form a fantastic flower

It finish it I placed a large brad in the centre and added a flat back pearl.

 

I embossed the backing with Embossalicious Folders -DOTTIE A4 folder

Vintage Birthday

Hiya crafty friends,

So excited to receive my new DT supplies from Clare Curd Crafts...they are gorgeous!!!

I have made a very femanine card. I really like how the embossing folder frames the entire 8x8 card. It adds detail with taking too much away from the decorated area in the centre.

I know you're probably sick of me saying it, but I LOVE Clare's ribbons, and I have to say this is one of my favourites. It is perfect colour for a vintage/Victorian look.

I used a Big and Juicy - Spice ink pad to stamp the background to give a gradient affect. What's great about the stamp is that it can be extended just by lining up and stamping next to the first stamped image. Which is what I did for this card as it wasn't wide enough.

 I used the same ink to stamp the sentiment on one of Clare's very handy die cuts.

I have listed all the supplies I used below

Hiya crafty friends,

Phew! Where did the week go?

Well, I'm sat here writing this post, blurry eyed and looking at the clock, which says 3 minutes past midnight. And looking very similar to this owl...lol!

This is a great quote from the IndigoBlu Wild Meadow stamps set. Which I find quite inspiring. I used it as the main focal point of the card, as it is perfect to give a friend or loved one to show your support.

I LOVE this paisley embossing folder (and even better it is A4 size!!!), which I used on some patterned paper from the 'My Minds EYE Vintage Christmas' 6x6 pad. Which I then lightly sanded to give an aged look. The strips of paper are from the same pad and are off cuts from a project I made at Christmas (we crafters don't like to throw anything away, do we).

 

Clare Curds Crafts has an amazing array of ribbon. And this red satin ribbon is gorgeous!!

The stickers used are from the 'My Minds EYE Vintage Christmas' 12x12 sticker sheet. It's great when you can use Christmas stash at other times of the year too.

 

You know me...I have to add a tiny gem or pearl somewhere :)

 

I'm really pleased how the sanding of the embossed areas turned out on this paper.

 

For the final layer, I used the same embossing folder to emboss some pearlised paper.

As always, thanks for popping by and see you next week
