Beautiful stamped background

Who doesn't love the Beautiful Friendship stamp set?  I really enjoyed stamping this beautiful background on a full sheet of A4 Whisper White card,  there is a photo further down of the stamped A4 sheet before I cut it up to use on three cards.

After stamping the background, I cut the card in half lengthways, giving me 2 pieces 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", then I cut one of the pieces in half to use on these two A6 cards (UK sizes).  I just added greetings, a few gems and a bow to complete the cards.  I used my marker to add black dots to the card on the left.   

I used the remaining 4 1/8" x 11 3/4" piece on this double easel card. Measurement are:

Base card: Whisper White Thick, 4 1/8" x 11 1/2" folded in half to make a tent fold card
Grapefruit Grove for the matting: 3 7/8" x 11 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" and 8 1/2"
Stamped background: cut the remaining 4 1/8' length down to 3 3/4". Then cut into 3 pieces as follows: one piece measuring 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" and two pieces measuring 3 3/4" x 2 3/4"

It's a good day

This was a quick and easy card to put together and I love how it turned out.  I cut to size one of the beautiful papers from the Petal Garden DSP stack and adhered it to the card base, then sponged around the edges to give a softer look.  I used the scalloped edge die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits set for the borders on the front and inside the card. The greeting is from Best Birds stamp set, perfectly placed on a circle from SU's Stitched Shapes Framelits set.

Blossoming Basket Easter Greetings

Gosh, I have been away from my blog a long time.  I've not been idle though. I have heaps of cards to share over the next few weeks, starting with this one.  I hope you like it.

I love, love, love the Blossoming Basket stamp set and coordinating dynamic textured embossing folder, Basket Weave.  You still have time, till 31st March, to earn this sale-a-bration bundle for free with a £90 spend. See the second release flyer on the right.

I stamped the basket on SU's Shimmery White card as I had intended watercolouring the image but changed my mind at the last minute and used SU's watercolour pencils instead.

I embossed the left side of the envelope to coordinate with the card and couldn't resist stamping the butterfly that's included in the set.

And here's a peek of the inside of the card.  As you can see I also embossed a part of the insert and added the butterfly :)
