Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Pretty Petal Park in Pinks

March 25, 2024March 21, 2024 ~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project combined the Petal Park Stamp Set and coordinating punch with pinks.

My colour combination was Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo, with Shaded Spruce and Basic White.

For the background, the marbled image from Artistically Inked Stamp Set is stamped in second generation to create a subtle pattern.

Next, the flowers and leaves from the Petal Park Stamp Set are stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Shaded Spruce onto a separate piece of cardstock.

They are coloured using the Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen, with a touch of Wink of Stella in the centre.

These are then cut out using the Petal Park Builder Punch.

Let’s eat cake is from the Hearfelt Hexagon Stamp Set and cut out using the coordinating punch from the Bundle in the Mini Catalogue.

This bundle is on the Last Chance Products list, along with other items I’ve used on this project. If you want to get your hands on these items before they retire, then make sure you check out the list to see what is still available.

All of the leaves and flowers are then stuck to the background.

A length of the Petal Pink Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Pack creates a swoosh for the sentiment to sit above on Dimensionals.

Finally, some Iridescent Rhinestones provide some bling.

June 26, 2023June 25, 2023 ~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the new Inked & Tiled Bundle from the Annual Catalogue.

This Bundle has a Stamp Set and a double punch pack, yes, that’s two punches.

My colour combination is Petal Pink, the new Lemon Lolly, returning In Color Lost Lagoon and Basic White. The design is inspired by a project in the Annual Catalogue.

Background ‘stripes’ are stamped tone-on-tone to give a feeling of texture.

Images from the Stamp Set are then stamped onto shapes cut out using the punches from the Bundle.

All of the shapes are then arranged and stuck to the background.

A sentiment, also stamped and cut out sits on a coordinating Petal Pink ribbon swoosh from the Ribbon Duo Pack.

Finally, some Iridescent Rhinestones add a touch of sparkle.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Sending Smiles Stamp Set Meets New Colours

May 22, 2023May 21, 2023 ~ Karen Young

After a few weeks off due to my break and the Bank Holidays, Card & Cuppa was back.

Last week’s project used the Sending Smiles Stamp Set and combined it with some new colours from the new Annual Catalogue.

My colour combination was Bubble Bath – a new colour, Lemon Lime Twist – a returning In Color and Melon Mambo, with Basic White.

The stems and flowers were stamped straight onto the Basic White piece using images from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. Zingy Lemon Lime Twist leaves are toned down slightly with the pale Bubble Bath flowers.

A sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo and has a length of Lemon Lime Twist from the coordinating Ribbon Duo Pack looped on the back. This is raised up on Dimensionals.

Using Wink of Stella, the centres of the flowers are given a touch of sparkle.
