I kicked off 2021 returning to my weekly Facebook live craft and chat on Wednesday evening at 8pm GMT. It was so nice to chat with some of my customers and fellow demonstrators as I made the ‘happy’ cards. I am going to share them both with you today.
Take a look at the pretty perennials stamp set in my online shop and see how many occasions the sentiments cover.
Sending lots of happy card
For this card I made a Rococo Rose card base and stamped the small flower around the border. I stamped the flower in the same colour so it gives a tone on tone effect. Next I stamped “happy” in Rococo Rose followed by a flower each side of the sentiment. Gorgeous Grape is used to stamp “sending lots of” and the two little leaf clusters. l am adding an inside layer for writing on and stamp a little along the bottom or in the corner.
The card layer was glued to the card base with stampin dimensionals and to finish off the card I added a couple of elegant gems to the flower centers.
You make me happy card
The second card is requires more stamping for its design. I took a whisper white card layer that I stamped all over to make my own designer series paper. I am choosing to keep the colours simple with Crushed Currry, Shaded Spruce and Gorgeous Grape. You can see I randomly built up the images across the layer and for the leaves I stamped twice with the image before re-inking.
The sentiments are stamped in Crushed Curry and Gorgeous Grape and fussy cut before attaching to a Crushed Curry card strip with dimensionals. This is bordered with a whisper white strip before gluing to the card itself. Finally, some elegant gems are added to the flower centres again for a little sparkle !
So which one do you think you will have a go at making? I’d love to see them if you share them on social media just tag @theinkynook. Until next time,
Inky hugs,
