Vellum Window Card

Hello, everyone!

Lately it is such a struggle to find a bit of spare time to make some cards, I hope things will get back to normal soon as I really miss playing in my craft room:)

Today’s card is a very simple, yet lovely card, that I made using this new stamp set from Prima aswell as the sentiment stamp set from WPlus9. I did a lot of embossing on this card, first for the pretty flower bulbs, then for the sentiment and the cute butterfly.

These bulb stamps are just so pretty and unique and as I wanted to add a bit of color to them, I used some of my Copic markers and colored to the back of the vellum.

I wanted to have a vellum window on the front of my card so I used a window die to create it. I then adhered the vellum panel to the back of the window using some strips of adhesive tape. And just to hide that adhesive on the inside I die cut another window panel and glued it right on top of the vellum one.

To finish my card I added several gold sequins here and there. This card can easily be transformed into a shaker card and I think it would look awesome!

Thank you all for your patience and for stopping by each time there is a new blog post, I really appreciate it!

Best of wishes and see you all soon!

A Cup of Cheer / Simon Says Stamp Cups & Succulents

This is my second post of today. Luckily I have more free time lately, so I will post more often, that will be for the days when I won’t be able to do it, hihi:)

I have this stamp set from Simon Says that’s called Cups & Succulents that I bought months ago but still haven’t got the chance to use it. I believe it’s simply adorable, love the flowers and the cups included and the sentiments fit perfectly on top of those cute cups.

For cutting my panel I used a die from La Coppia Creativa. I used this die to create some inserts for my planners also, love the shape of it and it also has stitched lines all around the edges. I wanted to keep my layout simple, so I concentrated everything on this die cut panel. The pot and the flowers are colored with some Prisma pencils and gamsol and then I just fussy cut them with my sccisors. There are also coordinating dies for this stamp set. So awesome! Haven’t put my hands on that one yet:) I embossed the sentiment with white onto a piece of vellum and mounted all with craft foam onto my card base.

I hope you can find some inspiration here today and I thank you all for dropping by!

Embossing with Dies

Here is a technique I like so much, but I often forget using it, and that is embossing with metal dies.

To do so you need a metal die, a rubber silicone mat and of course a die cuttting machine. I have the Big Shot, but you can use any machine.

I recently got this beautiful die from La Coppia Creativa and I just love it. It cuts perfectly and it comes with several coordinating clear stamps. And so I used it today for my project that I will present on their blog’s Gallery for December.

To emboss my card, I used the multi-purpose platform with tab 1 opened, a cutting plate, then I placed the rubber mat on top, the card on top of that, then the die and closed the ”sandwich” with the other cutting plate. I passed all through my Big Shot and look what a lovely embossed effect you can get with this technique.

I used the die to cut several petals out of some white cardstock that I colored with various shades of red and glued them onto my card following the embossed template for the first row of petals and alternate the other ones. I just wanted to create a poinsettia to make this card perfect for the holidays.

At the center I placed a dot of glue that I covered with gold glitter. I used gold for the sentiment also and the lovely pearls are made with Liquid Pearls.

I couldn’t not use the glitter pen for the flower, so I added it all over my red petals:)
