Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Painted Poppies Stamp Set & Dies

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project uses the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and coordinating Dies.

It’s a CASE of two projects I’ve made previously, here and here, and takes elements from both designs.

This one uses the colour combination of Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray and Basic White.

First, the sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set is stamped, followed by the ‘splats’ across the background.

If you are going to stamp your sentiment straight onto the project then it is a good idea to stamp it first, just incase you need to use the emergency side!

Next, using a Blending Brush, a flare of colour is added.

The main flower and leaves from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set are stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock and are again given some colour using the Blending Brushes.

Each one is then cut out using the Painted Labels Dies.

The leaves are then arranged on the cardstock, with the flower then raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, some small Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems are used to give a touch of understated bling.

Although this is a poppy, I think by using this colour combo it looks more like an anemone.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set

At last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used the Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set.

I hadn’t used this Stamp Set at a class before, so revisited this previous project and changed the colours.

A lot of my class attendees are fans of pink and purple, so my colour combination reflects this. It’s Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Basic White.

The background leaves are stamped in Gorgeous Grape and a Blender Pen is then used to pull the ink from the image.

Next, three flowers are stamped in Melon Mambo onto a separate piece of cardstock and coloured uisng a Small Blending Brush and Blushing Bride Ink.

These are then fussy cut, leaving a border around the edge. The centres are then given a touch of sparkle using some Wink of Stella.

More sparkle then comes from a swoosh of Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

The flowers are glued together and then stuck to the project in one piece using Dimensionals.

A sentiment from the Art Gallery Stamp Set is then added to the centre of the flowers.

Finally, some coordinating Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems are scattered across the project.
