Wildflower Path Sympathy Card

~ Karen Young

Today’s project is this very simple Thinking of You card.

When I need to create sympathy cards, I tend to stick to a similiar design, just changing the orientation and colours as required.

For this version, I’ve used Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Very Vanilla.

The Wildflower Path Stamp Set is my current go to for the images.

For the sentiment, I’ve used the Framed Occasions Stamp Set.

Of course, this design isn’t just for this type of card, it can be used for lots of other occasions too. Adding ribbons and embellishments can also add to the design.

Old Design Meets New Framed Occasions Stamp Set

~ Karen Young

Today I’m sharing a project design I’ve used quite a few times before, but with a new stamp set.

This is the Framed Occasions Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue, plus of course, the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch.

My previous versions of this project can be seen here, here and here.

For this version I chose a colour combination of Sweet Sorbet, Pale Papaya and Pear Pizzazz, with Basic White.

Each shape is stamped with an image or sentiment from the Framed Occasions Stamp Set. This isn’t all of the stamps in the set, there were five (three sentiments and two shapes) I didn’t use!

The Pear Pizzazz leaves are coloured with a touch of Wink of Stella, along with a dots in the centre of the Sweet Sorbet flowers.

On this project, the sentiment is one of the panels and is raised up on Dimensionals.

This panel sits on a length of coordinating In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon.

Iridescent Rhinestones are dotted around the project as a finishing touch.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Ladybug Builder Punch

~ Karen Young

For last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa Class I decided to concentrate on one product, the Ladybird Builder Punch.

I love punches and punch art, and have been wanting to make the wings into flowers and leaves for a while now.

To begin, the sentiment from the new Framed Occasions Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue is stamped in Old Olive.

Using Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody, these bright flowers came to life, with the wings as the petals, and the body, with a little bit of cutting, making the centres.

Each petal was given some shading using a Sponge Dauber in Daffodil Delight.

Dots of Wink of Stella were added to the centre of the flowers before the flowers were arranged on the card. Leaves, also made from the wings in Old Olive were again given some Daffodil Delight shading before being slotted behind.

The ladybug (ladybird) is then made as it is intended, using Real Red and Basic Black.

Finally, some Matte Black Dots are added to make the spots.

I do love a bit of punch art and I think this creates a nice, bright and cheery project.
