This week at Crafter’s Anonymous, Julia showed us how to make this elegant masculine card.
I used a base of Bravo Burgundy with a layer of woodgrain from the Natural Composition Specialty DSP. The shirt panel is Very Vanilla, and the tie and pocket handkerchief are Bravo Burgundy DSP. I used a White Gel pen to faux stitch around the suit coat. The sentiment from Perfectly Penned was heat embossed with White EP and added with dimensionals.
This would also work well on a wedding card.

My Primrose Petals Core’dinations card stock turned up today and I couldn’t wait to try it out.
I took a piece and ran it through the Honeycomb TIEF and lightly sanded it to bring out the core colours. Some images from Daydream Medallions [also a recent purchase] were stamped in Raspberry Ripple and Pool Party on Whisper White, and then cut with the matching Floral Frames Framelits.The flowers were layered with Glue Dots and topped with a matching In Color Dahlia. After wrapping some Pool Party Baker’s Twine around the Primrose Petals piece, I layered it onto a Naturals White card base. The sentiment from Perfectly Penned was stamped in Raspberry Ripple ink on Whisper White, fussy cut, sponged and added to the card with dimensionals.
A pretty vintage look with the Primrose Petals Core’dinations.

Secret Garden is a very popular stamp set with matching Framelits. Whilst I was checking out some of my favourite blogs recently, I came across a very pretty clean and simple card using this set on LeeAnn Greff’s Flowerbug’s Inkspot. I made a few changes to make it my own and created this.
I used Whisper White and Primrose Petals card stock, Primrose Petals ink and Stitched Satin Ribbon, and the Lacy Brocade TIEF. Perfectly Penned provided the sentiment. Dazzling Diamonds and some small Basic Jewel Pearls completed the elegant look.
As it was for a friend’s birthday, I decided to decorate a small noodle box [filled with chocolates] in the same colours and design.
Thank you LeeAnn for the inspiration for this very pretty set.

That big Swallowtail has been flying around the scene again. This time, I caught it with a colourful emboss resist. Unfortunately, it tried to fly away so I only managed to get half of it on the card.
The image was inked in Versamark, and embossed with Iridescent Ice EP on Whisper White card. Pacific Point, Rose Red and Wild Wasabi inks were then sponged over the embossed image which was then fussy cut and added to a panel of Midnight Muse which was embossed with the Honeycomb TIEF. A piece of Midnight Muse Stitched Satin ribbon was wrapped around the centre of the card. A sentiment from Sassy Salutations, stamped in Midnight Muse on Whisper White was cut with the Decorative Label Punch, sponged and added with dimensionals.
Hopefully, the other half of the butterfly will return soon on another card. Stay tuned.

I was recently asked to make a full A4 size birthday card for a 60th birthday. The only instructions were that it had to have lots of colour.
Secret Garden was the perfect stamp set for this one. I stamped flowers from the set tone on tone with Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry and Tangerine Tango, and then cut them with the matching framelits. The leaves were cut using Gumball Green. These were all arranged in a large bouquet around the bottom left hand corner of the A4 Pool Party Card. A piece of Tangerine Tango ribbon from the Sycamore Street collection [retired SAB] was placed along the top. The sentiment from Memorable Moments was inked in Island Indigo on Whisper White and cut with a Labels Framelit. The next size label was cut with Island Indigo to create a layered effect.
A very colourful card which I am sure the recipient is going to love.

This week at the online class at Crafters Anonymous, Kristine showed us how to make a box pleat card.
I used a card base of Baja Breeze, with some Calypso Coral DSP. The two step images from Field Flowers were stamped with Calypso Coral and Versmark for the stems. The sentiment is from Memorable Moments.
A very cute card.

I was a little sceptical when I saw the Pool Party Core’dinations card stock (#129321) in the Occasions Catalogue. I thought it would be too light to show the core when sanded. How wrong I was.
Check out this tone on tone card I made with the Flower Garden TIEF. Pool Party Core’dinations card and White EP.
How is that for a WOW factor?
