All The Best

Good Saturday afternoon, I’ve had a busy work week.  It’s been a few days since I have been at my desk and I was anxious to come in and play this morning.  I have a clean and simple framed sentiment and floral project to share with you using the Impression Obsession All The Best, Sizzix Small Tattered Florals and My Favorite Things Stitched Square Scallop Edge Frames.

I cut the flowers, leaves, branch,  sentiment and largest scalloped frame using hot pressed watercolor paper and colored using Memento markers.  The small frame was cut using plain white cardstock but I wanted the outer frame to add one more element of the pink.  I formed all the flowers using my stylus and molding pad and I lightly formed the leaves with my fingers. The leaves and flowers were attached to the branch using glossy accents.

I attached both frames and the branch of flowers with mounting tape.  I cut very thin small pieces of mounting tape to attach the sentiment.

The photos make the the pink images look far more red than the pretty bright pink they actually are. I like how the bright green leaves add another bright color against the white. 

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.

Card size:  4.50” square

Lovebirds

Good Monday morning.  I have a clean and simple project to share with you today using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Lovebirds and Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Frame. I love the delicate limbs and leaves and the placement of the lovebirds. I didn’t want anything to detract from the sweet images so I paired them with an all white background.  The decorative frame adds dimension and grounds the images adding to the overall prettiness.

I cut the image using white cardstock and colored the leaves and branches with Memento markers and the birds with Copic.  The only reason I switched is because I didn’t have a light enough blue marker.  I actually covered the bird and leaves with clear Wink of Stella but it doesn’t really show well in the photos.  I cut a couple extra leaf sections to add at the bottom of the branch to soften and cover the bare branch.  I lightly formed all the leaves with my stylus and molding pad.

I attached the frames together with thin strips of mounting tape and then applied a second layer of tape and attached to the card base.  I applied double layered pieces of mounting tape to the back of both birds and several of the leaves so they would stand well away from the base.

Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz

Good Saturday morning.  I have been having such a wonderful time pulling up the Ellen Hutson store site every day to see what new things have come in. Shhhh!  Don’t tell my husband how many orders I have placed over the last couple of weeks.  I just can’t seem to help myself.   My project today is  a clean and simple floral project made using the Tim Holtz Small Tattered Florals and Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Frame.  I started going in one direction to use several different color flowers but ended up with this.

I attached  the lacy scalloped frame to the card base using mounting tape. I formed the flowers and foliage using the stylus and molding pad and attached the flower sections together using glossy accents.

The large flower and leaves and small flowers and leaves were attached to the card base using glossy accents. I applied snow pearls in the center of each flower to finish.  I’m not really very happy with the floral layout But I do really love the pop of the green and blue colors against the all white background.

Framed Pine, Holly and Christmas Berries

Good Sunday morning.  I have an old-fashioned Christmas card to share with you today with pine, holly, berries and a multi looped tartan bow.  The frame was made using the Poppystamps Leafy Frame and the pine, holly and berry stems were made using the Sizzix Mini Holiday Greens set.  The bow was made using ribbon I found at Michaels.

I applied strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it to the card base.  I wanted to create an all white background for the foliage and ribbon and the die cut frame added another element of interest without distracting from the arrangement.

I lightly formed the holly leaves with my stylus and molding pad and bent and formed the pine using my fingers.  I  applied 1/8” punched red circles to the berry branches and holly stems with glossy accents.  I arranged the pine branches, holly and berry stems and attached to the card base with glossy accents.  I tied the bow and attached it to the arrangement with glue dots.  Check out my multi loop bow tutorial if you would like to see how I make my multi loop bows.

Here’s a little closer view. I added red stickles to the red berries to create a bit of sparkle.
