Thank You - Blooming Trumpet Flowers

by Brenda Noelke on Jun 05 2024

Hello, crafty friends!! I hope you are all doing well!! Brenda here with a thank you card featuring the gorgeous Blooming Trumpet Flowers Stamp Set, along with a few other goodies from the latest May release!! I began by stamping the flower and leaves from the Blooming Trumpet Flowers Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored them with Copic markers, added dots to the stamen with a yellow gel pen, then cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. Next, I die-cut a panel of white cardstock with the smallest die in the A2 Rectangle Layering Die Set. I stenciled Paper Glaze Luxe: Twinkle Lights - Purple onto the panel through the You Make the World Shimmer A2 Stencil with a palette knife. Once dry, it was adhered to a panel of purple gingham cardstock from the Sweet Gingham Fabulous Glossy Cardstock Pack. The sentiment, also from the Blooming Trumpet Flowers Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock. The sentiment, flowers and leaves were all popped up with foam tape. Sequins from the Razzle Dazzle and All About the Purple sequin mixes finish off the card. Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a fabulous Wednesday!! Brenda

The Sound of the Sea Helps Tides Rise

by Brenda Noelke on Apr 15 2024

Happy Monday, Picket Fence friends!! Brenda here with a shaker card created with goodies from the Ocean Odyssey Release that just dropped yesterday!! Such a fantastic release!! My card today features the Seahorses of the Sea Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies, the Beachcomber Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts!! I started much like I do most cards, by stamping the seahorse from the Seahorses of the Sea Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored him with Copic markers, added highlights with a white gel pen and used the Coordinating Die to cut him out. Next, I created my shaker by die-cutting a panel of cardstock from the Beachcombing Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts with the smallest rectangle die in the A2 Rectangle Layering Die Set and cutting an oval with a die in the Basic Die Cutting Set 1 Die Set. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how stunning this cardstock is?!? So beautiful!! I adhered the oval in the center of a panel of burnt orange cardstock that was cut out with the largest die in the A2 Rectangle Layering Die Set. Acetate and foam tape were adhered to the front panel, Tropical Breeze Sequins were added for the shakers and the layers were adhered together. The sentiment is also from the Seahorses of the Sea Stamp Set. Not only does the sound of the sea help the tides rise...it totally relaxes me!! The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock with burnt orange ink and cut out with the Coordinating Die. The seahorse and sentiment were adhered to the front of the card with liquid glue and this card was complete. I LOVE these colors and who doesn't love a shaker card?!? Be sure to check out the fabulous Ocean Odyssey Release in the shop!! Thank you so much for spending part of your Monday with me!! Have a great week!! Brenda

The Right Pair of Boots

by Brenda Noelke on Apr 03 2024

Hello, fellow crafters and happy Wednesday!! Brenda here with a card featuring The Right Pair of Boots Stamp Set from the Botanical Blooms Release!! If you know me at all, you know that I am obsessed with shoes...especially boots, so this set is right up my alley!! Combine a boot with flowers and I couldn't love it more!! I stamped image from The Right Pair of Boots Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink and colored with with Copic markers. I used the smallest die in the A2 Rectangles Layering Die Set to cut it out and adhered it to a panel of black cardstock that was cut with the next largest die in the same set. Next, I die-cut the Pinking Shear A2 Cover Plate Die (bonus...this comes with a complete alphabet set) from a panel of paper in the Cotton Candy Clouds Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts Pack (this complimented my flowers perfectly) and adhered it to a white card base. The two rectangle layers were adhered to the background. The sentiment is also from The Right Pair of Boots Stamp Set. It was white heat embossed onto black cardstock, fussy cut and popped up with foam tape. To finish, I added dots to the centers of some of the flowers with a yellow gel pen. I LOVE how this turned out!! In fact, I have a pair of boots just like this...minus the flowers, of course!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! I appreciate your time!! Brenda

Envelope of Flowers

by Andrea Shell on Mar 27 2024

Hello, again! It's Andrea back with another floral card. I seriously cannot get enough of the March release! The feature image of my card is from the new Like a Wildflower stamp set. After stamping it with Black Hybrid Ink, I colored it with Copics and cut it out. To create my background, I diecut white cardstock with the A2 Rectangles for Card Layering Dies. I backed the piece with pale yellow cardstock and adhered it to a white card. I applied Blue Paper Glaze Luxe from the Nature Sampler Set to white cardstock and allowed it to dry. Next, I diecut the panel, along with vellum and white cardstock, with the Garden Topper Cover Plate Die, focusing on the foliage on one end of the die. After adhering my colored image to my card with foam, I tucked the diecut sprigs underneath, securing them with liquid adhesive. I stamped a sentiment from Like a Wildflower with Black Hybrid Ink and diecut it with an oval die from the new Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1. I popped up the sentiment with foam squares and finished with a few clear drops. Thanks for stopping by! *Affiliate links used at no cost to you.

Friends and Wildflowers Can Grow Anywhere

by Brenda Noelke on Mar 25 2024

Hello, friends & happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! Brenda here with a floral friendship card featuring some of the goodies from the latest Botanical Blooms Release!! I started by die-cutting the Garden Topper Die two times from white cardstock. I colored one of them with Copic markers, then adhered the white one behind it for added stability. The window frame from the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1 was cut from gray cardstock, along with a 4.25” wide strip. Next, I drew the outside of the window frame onto a panel from the Clouds of Dreams Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts, trimmed it down and adhered it to the back of the window. The Scene Building: Falling Brick Wall Die was cut two times from light gray cardstock. They were adhered to a panel of white cardstock that was cut with the largest die in the A2 Rectangles Layering Die Set and the excess was trimmed from each side. The window and flowers were adhered to the background panel and it was adhered to a white A2 card base, all with liquid glue. The sentiment, from the Like A Wildflower Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto the strip of gray cardstock. It was adhered across the bottom of the flowers to complete the card. That’ll do it for me today!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a terrific week!! Brenda
