Paper Rose

Made in May Card 11

Hello everyone!!

Today I’m playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Although I’ve been trying to use new/unused products this month, today’s card doesn’t have any new products! The star of the show is my lovely Honeysuckle Plant die by Paper Rose Studio that I’ve had for a couple of years now. I love this versatile image and thought it would work well for my take on the sketch!

The woodgrain strip is Craft Consortium paper and the sentiment is by My Favorite Things.

Made in May Card 10

Hello everyone!!

I was short on time today so chose a very quick CAS card using one element of the Spellbinders Patchwork embossing folder.

The flowery panel was slightly too short for my card base so I cut it and then adhered the Heffy Doodle sentiment die to hide the gap in the panel!

I added a few glittery butterflies from a Paper Rose Studio die set to complete my card.

Pretty Blooms

Hi there!

There’s a really interesting sketch for this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. At first I thought I may pass on entering this week because nothing sprung to mind immediately. But as is so often the way with crafting, I suddenly had an idea!

I realised that elements from the Pinkfresh Studios Pretty Blooms washi product suite by that I received in the February Create & Connect event kit would work very well. I also used a frame and sentiment stamps from the event kit.

The gold element is a Paper Rose Studio Honeysuckle die cut – I thought the shape tied in nicely with the sprigs on the washi.

Another purple foliage circle card

 

Hi there!

Next up today is my take on this week’s fabulous sketch at the  Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I just love all those layers!

After trying a few items, I decided to use the Paper Rose Studio Little Foliage Circle die as my focal point. I cut it several times and coloured it with various inks. I decided to cut and layer the little flowers rather than mask them and while I was adhering them I remembered that I had coloured in purple last time I used the die – back in 2021! Cutting and adhering the flowers was MUCH quicker I think!

I used a Spellbinders embossing folder for one panel and some Craft Consortium paper for the larger strip in the sketch – I blended some purple ink over the paper so that it would tie in with my inked flowers!

The sentiment is by The Ton Stamps.

Great to see you

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s  Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I used the beautiful Paper Rose Studio Poppy Field Circle die set and a piece of Craft Consortium patterned paper.

I added a sentiment by My Favorite Things – although this card was completed before the release of the Princess of Wales’s video today, I thought the sentiment ended up being very apt!

Blue blossom branch

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of coral, light blue and navy.

I remembered a card that I’d made for a similar combo a few years ago and decided to showcase another stunning background die – the daisy chain background by Pinkfresh Studio. I adhered it to my card base and adhered a frame that I’d cut with an arch die. I cut the Paper Rose Blossom Branch die from some glitter card and added it to the card base. I coloured a few flowers with alcohol markers and then filled in the rest of the flowers with the die-cut petals – quite a laborious process, I have to say!

Finally I added a sentiment by Birch Press Design to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
