Happy Flowers

Happy Friday!  Are you ready for spring to arrive?  I am (and I live where the weather is nice most of the year!)  It's Jeanne today and I have a card inspired by spring.
The Doodle Flowers are so much fun and can be used for many occasions.  I first cut all the piecs using colored cardstock.  I went through my scrap box and picked bright, warm colors.
Then I assembled the pieces.
I stamped my sentiment on a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch white cardstock panel.
I cut off a little over 1/4 inch from the right side of the panel and roughly laid out where my flowers would go.
To get the stem behind the sentiment, I marked the section needing to be cut out in pencil and then used paper snips to cut it.
I glued the flowers, leaves and stems on the panel.
I used a piece of coordinating designer paper 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches  and glued it to the right side of a top folding A2 card base.

 The flower panel was adhered to the card base.
This is a very simple card to make but the boldness of the images gives it a lot of impact!  And since the flowers are so abstract, any colors will work beautifully.  Perfect way to use up scraps!

In the color of lavender

Hi, Janja here!

Stunning scent of Mediterranean bush is expanding far and wide. Tiny flowers with its violet blue color catches the eye. Lavender is fully blooming.
I tried to catch some of its color and romance on a birthday card.
Let's see how it is made.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- patterned paper: two sheets in size of - 5.24 x 5.24" (13,3 x 13,3 cm) and four sheets in size of - 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white and violet cardstock
- ribbon

We prepare two cutouts from a white cardstock with the die oval doily & frame. Also cut out two oval holes in a patterned paper with the die in which we will later insert white ovals.


From a white cardstock cut out birds with the die bird trio and 4 lace borders with the die fancy floral lace border.
For more contrast cut birds also from violet cardstock and the basic of two flowers. The upper part of the flowers and leaves is cut out from a white cardstock with the dies: doodle flowers set 1 , doodle flowers set 2, and leaves & stems.


Glue patterned papers with double-sided adhesive tape between themselves and insert white ovals in oval holes. On a card base we attach a ribbon.


Assemble the card.


Look on a spread card with a space for greetings and an inscription happy birthday.

Flowers on distressed background


Hi, is Vladka!

I love to work with Distress Inks, because it is so many possibility to use them and to play with them. So, I used three different colors today to create this card:


I will show you, how to create this background. Let's start!

Basics:
White card base: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (cut 5 1/2 x 11 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock or watercolor paper (5 x 5 inches)

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distres markers: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber
Other: paint brush, water, acrylic block, paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy,


1. With Doodle Flower Set 1 and Set 2 dies, cut 2 Flowers out from white cardstock. With Leaves and Stems die and Leafy Flourish 2 cut leaves and leafy flourish out from white cardstock. Color the flowers with Fossilized amber Distress Ink and distress the edges with Rusty Hinge. With Peeled paint Distress Ink color all the leaves. I used sponge to do this. But you can also color it with paint brush, distress inks and water, like I did it here. Spray the water on it and let it dry:


2. With Butterfly Kayla die cut the butterfly out with white cardstock and gently colored it the same way as flowers and spray it with water.

3. Flowers and greenery is prepared. Time to do the background. Take additional piece of paper and color the middle part with all 3 Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber as shown on the photo.


4. Now spray a water on it. It can be pretty much water, so that flows here and there. Leave it to dry or speed the drying process with heat gun.


5. Take biggest Square from Pierced Wide Square Frame Set (Basics) and cut it out from previous colored piece of paper to get one square and 2 square frames.


6. To get more intense colors on the smallest square, colored it again with the same Distress Inks as before and add some watter drops on it to get this interesting splotches.


7. Now, glue square and both square frames on the card base and glue also flowers, greenery and butterfly on it, as shown on the photo. I also cut out the Best Friends words with Best Friends Expressions die and added to the card.


You really need to try this, because Distress Inks and the water can do magic and using them together with CottageCutz dies is a fairytale. :)

Have fun and thank you!

Before I go, I just want to remind you on our second CottageCutz challenge with theme Hello Spring. Link button can be found here!

Gingerbread flowers

Hi, Janja here!

When I first saw the Doodle flowers die, I immediately got an association to gingerbread. And so today I share with you monochrome set (card and notebook) with my gingerbread flowers :).


For the card and notebook we need:
  • light brown card base: 10.6 x 5.3" (27 x 13,5 cm), folded in half
  • dark brown cardstock: 5 x 5" and 3.7 x 3.7" (12,6 x 12,6 cm and 9,5 x 9,5 cm)
  • white cardstock: 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
  • 2 x light brown cardstock for notebook: 6 x 4.4" (15 x 11 cm)
  • inlay sheets: 5.8 x 4.1" (14,8 x 10,5 cm)
First we prepare the flower background. This I done with homemade stamp, using the die Doodle flowers set 1.
Cut out 6 pieces of flowers and glue them to each other. Apply adhesive across the entire surface. Because the adhesive is almost impossible to apply evenly, first place a flower with a sticky side on a piece of paper. With this, the adhesive is evenly spread across the entire surface and it is only then fasten to the second flower.
Once we have all the flowers glued to each other, place them on a transparent adhesive sheet which holds our stamp on an acrylic block.


With the stamp we prepare a unique background. Flowers can also be painted, or shadowed. Since my card is monochrome, I left the flowers unpainted. 


Now cut out the squares. Attach flowers and leaves to the cardstock, that is cut out with the largest cross-stitched square die from the set. Add the inscription with best wishes, and few sequins.
 

Assemble the card.
 

On the cover of the notebook, fix a frame cut out with a stitched wide rectangle frame die (the largest die of the set). Decorate the notebook like a card.
 


Covers and inlay sheets tack to each other with your favorite binding machine. The corners are treated with a corner punches.


And don't forget on our May challenge - Hello spring

Dies, which I used at work: 





Have a nice day.
