Fun Fold Friday - Jar of Flowers

Here we are already it's Friday! Where does the time go? Well, weather wise, we have had a glorious week of beautiful sunshine but sad to say all good thing must come to an end! It's due to rain all weekend!! Oh Well, we can't have it good all of the time can we? Anyway, today's card using the Jar of Flowers stamp set is another easy fun fold. I've made a larger version, A5 this time as it's for another friend. I coordinated it once again with the sentiments from Celebrating You stamp set. To make this I started with a whole sheet of A4 white card for the base and scored and folded it at 14.85cm by 21cm. Then on both sides of the front, I cut 4cm in right up to the score line and adhered them to the card.

I chose to use the gorgeous 2022-2024 In Colour Designer Series Papers for the inside and front panel and the stunning 2022-2024 In Colour Glimmer Papers. I really love all of the new colours which have just come in don't you? What's your favourite? Do you have a favourite? I don't! I can't chose as I love them all! Anyway... I added a strip of glimmer paper 3.5cm wide by 14.4cm long to both sides of the card. Then added a piece of the DSP into the centre of the card 13cm by 14.85cm. 

The top of the card was then scored at 7.4cm across the centre to form the Easel for the front panel. I took a piece of the Tahitian Tide card and 14.85cm by 13cm and added a piece of DSP 14.4cm by 12.5cm to the front of that. This was then adhered to the lower part of the white card base, as the easel. 

I took some time to colour the images in and then just for a change, I fussy cut them all out! A simple message here and there and the main card is completed. I wanted to add a little extra so I die cut some Glimmer Paper using the Delicate Edges Dies. OMG!!! Do I like them! They are really beautiful. Just to have a little or larger details along or around the card just finishes things off for me.

Throwback Thursday - Jar of Flowers

Hello on this gorgeous hot Thursday. It really does make a change to be able to say the here in the UK. Today's card using the Jar of Flowers stamp set is a shaker card. I didn't set out to make a shaker card but it just had to be done! I stamped the jar and the flowers then coloured them all in using several of the Blends pens. Now I love my Blends pens as much as I love my Stampin' Write Marker Pens AND my Watercolour pencils but today was just Blends. I decided to make it a shaker card as all of my vases have crystals at the bottom to help hold the flowers together so I felt that had to be done. 

The sentiments once again are from the stamp set called Celebrating You. It is a perfect collection of lots of different everyday sentiments. It's the ideal stamp set to have for that sentiment that you need.

Watercolour Wednesday - Jar of Flowers

Thank you for joining me today. Using the Jar of Flowers stamp set again today, I stamped 3 lots of the sunflowers onto white card and started watercolouring them in. I stamped a block onto the Daffodil Delight ink pad, added a few drops of water and using my waterbrush, started to colour them all in. I completed them all adding lots of different colours and colour strengths along the way. Then I set them aside to dry.

While they were drying, I took a white mat and embossed it with 1 of the Thanks and Hello embossing folder set, as you can see, I chose the thanks folder. I like the way it says thank you in so many languages. Perfect. I added Shaded Spruce to the back of the mats and for the inside mats too. 

A very straightforward card with the fun of watercolouring.

  

Technique Tuesday - Jar of Flowers

 Hello, for today's card using the Jar of Flowers stamp set, I've gone back to my granddaughter's colouring pencils again. I used a piece of blue card in Starry Sky, and a piece of the paper from the Sun Prints DSP pack for the main background. The main colours of the DSP is a soft beige called Sahara Sand and several shades of blue. I added another strip of the striped pattern and then stamped the flower image from Jar of Flowers then coloured it in. I love playing with Bella's colouring pencils as she has so many different ones! I cut a piece of white card and embossed it using one of the Greenery set of 2 folders, which has sadly retired. There are a few more new ones out that will coordinate really well but I haven't yet been able to buy! After a few sentiments from the Celebrating You stamp set and then adding the flowers, this one is completed.

Make It Simple Monday - #simplestamping - Jar Of Flowers

Hello and thank you for stopping by. This week I am going to be playing with the stamp set called Jar of Flowers. I have had this for a while now but done only a few cards with it so I thought that I would have some fun this week. Today as this is #simplestamping especially aimed for the beginner crafter, I made this White card. I started with a white mat and stamped the image in Black Memento Ink Pad then added a little dimension by adding the sentiment also in Memento but placed on with Dimensionals or foam shapes.
