Charming Day Dies Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

The third project from my recent Card Making Class for October was this striped design.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I love a design with stripes. So I thought I would include one for the class.

I chose shades of purple, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, along with Basic White.

Each of the stripes is stamped tone-on-tone using images from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and the Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set. Blooming Phrases from the Online Exclusives Range and Terrific Toadstools from the Annual Catalogue.

The leaves and flowers are cut out using the Charming Day Dies and the Delightful Wishes Dies. Wink of Stella was added to the flowers for a touch of sparkle.

Once the stripes were stuck to the background piece, three lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were added.

The sentiment uses the With You in Mind Stamp Set and is cut out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.

Leaves are stuck straight onto the striped piece, with the flowers stuck onto the sentiment.

Finally, this sentiment piece is then stuck to the project using Dimensionals.

Designs like this one are really easy to replicate as you can use any colours, images, shapes, sentiments and embellishments you chose.

The third project from August’s Card Making Class was this Birthday Card.

August’s class theme was Fabulous Florals, so I designed this card in brown tones.

Pecan Pie and Basic Beige are the colours for the cardstock.

Using the gorgeous Charming Day Stamp Set and Dies Bundle from the Online Exclusives range, the flower was stamped multiple times.

It was also stamped onto a separate piece and cut out using the coordinating Dies.

Three sets of leaves were also cut out using the Dies, along with a square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Each of the flowers was coloured using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. White and Daffodil Delight for the petals and centre, with Pecan Pie for the leaves. Wink of Stella was gently used in the centre of each flower.

A Birthday sentiment was stamped onto Basic Beige and stuck across the Pecan Pie strip.

The leaves were then stuck onto the strip and the flower onto the diamond.

Finally, the diamond was stuck across the strip using Dimensionals.
