Wild Rose Studio Lady With Wine...

Hello All,
     We're posting again, with this girlicious, pink tastic delight! This is an extreamly pink card, though, with the sophisticated twist that makes this card appropriate for a birthday occasion... We've used a 6x6 Scalloped Square card blank for this project...

We're now working on another Magnolia project and will be adding it as soon as we've finished... Until then, Happy Crafting!

Magnolia Tilda With Lace Jeans...

Hello All,
     Magnolia stamps are new to us, but the second we saw the wide range of designs availible we instantly brought some! This stamp being 'Tilda With Lace Jeans' we found looked great in with and using many differant colour schemes but finally settling on the colours of Pink and Brown. We have used a 8x8 Scalloped Square Card blank for this project. We stamped the stamp onto plain a circle, following to backing her onto a 'Hot Pink' coloured scalloped circle and then onto 'Fuschia Pink' shimmer card in the larger scalloped circle. These dies came out of the 'Spellbinders Scalloped Circles Grand Nestabillities' and we cut using the 'Grand Calibur' machine.

Hopefully you all liked this card and have found ispiration within! Happy Crafting everyone!

Sheena Douglass Time Flies Stamp Set...

Hello All,
      We couldn't resist making this delightful card using the 'Sheena Douglass - Time Flies' stamp set. We have decided on the base theme colour of Pink with the dashing of floral patterns. We have used a 6x6 Plain Squared card blank to create this projects.

Be back soon with more inspirations and crafty designs!

Creative Expressions Wine Label Stamp Set...

Hello All,
     This card uses the 'Creative Expressions -Wine Label' stamp set which we think is absolutely fabulous! We struggled to find inspiration for a design using these stamps but managed to come up with this design ourselves. We have based the overall colour sceme on a 'Burgundy' colour which complements the red wine in the glass. This has been crafted on a 6x6 Plain Squared card blank.

Hope we have managed to inspire anyone looking for design ideas using this stamp set! 

Making Cards 'Vintage Twisted Easel'...

Hello All,
    We have been so excited with the recent special edition of 'Making Cards' magazine. This card that we have crafted is one of the designs which we followed step-by-step to acheive this stunning twisted easel card. The design gives a vintage look by the use of 'Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen' which using the Distress tool gives a really effective look! The size of the card blank was 6x6 Plain Squared.

Hope you liked the card and the creative design idea!



Papermania 'Little Cake Shoppe'...

Hello All,
     As soon as we found this 'Little Cake Shoppe' collection by 'Papermania' we instantly fell in love with it.  For this project we used a 8x8 Square Scalloped card blank and our Ranger 'Dimensional Pearls' that we absolutely love! We wanted to show you the yummy Cupcake Card we've made...

Elegant Lady...

Hello All,
      Thought you'd like to see another of our creations. This card has been made using one of the Kanban stamps on a square scalloped 6x6 card. The backing papers have been taken from the 'Madeline Collection Paper Stack', which we co-ordinated the stamped image colours to. We have once again crafted a rose, but this time in pink, using the 'Rose Pink Cosmic Shimmer Mist' to paint the petals.

We're busy crafting at the moments on our next projects, so please pop back to see some more of our creations!

1st Wedding Anniversary Card...

Hope you liked the design and find inspiration within!

Golden Foiled Edged Rose's

Hello All,
As promised, we are going to expain how we created the Golden Foiled Edged Rose's on the card in the previous post.

To start with we needed a piece of Cream Linen card to give that textured look. We then needed to use a 2'' 6 Petaled Flower punch to punch out three full flowers. We then took a glue pen making sure to neatly draw around the edges of each individual flower. This was then left to dry tacky. Once tacky, using Transfer Foil, place the foil face up onto your flower. Using the flat end of a Bone folder, gently rub around the edges of the flower making sure that the foil is sticking. Peel back the foil from the flowers and you should be left with a flower with a mottled Golden Foiled edge. Continue by folding, cutting, glueing and layering to achive your desired Rose effect. To see how this is done, follow this link to see Create & Craft's Stephanie Weightman acheiving this effect: http://www.crafting.co.uk/page.php?xPage=paperflowersvideo

'Golden Wedding Anniversary' Card

Hello All,
We decided to make a card for a Golden Wedding Anniversary that was coming up. We knew the card had to be special, so this card was time consuming, but well worth the effort! We make this a large card to empathise the occasion.

This is a 'Portrait' style card we've made using a Scalloped '8x8' square card. Being as this was designed as a Golden Wedding Anniversary card, we knew that we had to follow the theme of 'Gold and Cream'. We used Gold Mirrored card for our backing layer and then followed on with layering a pale Cream Rose backing paper on top. To match, we cut out Mirrored card again using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Seventeen at the largest size, then cut out our sentiment verse using the next size down as this then gives a nice border. We did the same with the name tag at the top of the card only cutting this out in a rectangular fashion not using the Spellbinders Nestabillities. The rose's were hand crafted and we will explain how they were created in our next post. The final embelishements being the 'Bride & Groom' and the 'Ribbon & Bow' were added to complete the project.

Wild Rose Studio 'Ladies Stamps'

Hello All,
We have made a few different cards using a vairety of the Wild Rose Studio 'Ladies' stamps.

 

This is a simple 'Portrait Fold' style card that we've used at a size of '6x8'. This card has been worked around the theme colour of 'Pink and Brown'. The main backing of the card is brown, and then layered up into pink patterned backing. On the right-hand-side of the card, We have used a border punch out of brown backing paper, layered onto a plain peice of 'Candyfloss Pink' card. The main feature of this card is the Lace border which has been added to add texture. The image, once stamped was coloured with appropriate colours to match with the cards theme and then coated with a glitter spray. The flowers were added as final embellishments.

This is a square '6x6' plain card. Again, this card is also worked around the base colour of 'Pink and Brown'. We designed the card to be elegant and classy which has been achived through the lace border used, the delicate flower embelishments and the greeting sentiment. 

This is a square '6x6' plain card again. This was one stamp of Wild Rose Studio that we was instanly drawn to as it has lots of potential. We have choose to once again, follow with the same theme of 'Pink and Brown'. This has been stamped then coloured accordingly and finally glitter sprayed. The Lace border is the main focus of these three cards as it is new area for us. We think it's really effective as it brings the cards into a new dimension. 

New 'The Greeting Farm' Stamps

Hello All,

This is our first blog, which we are very excited about! The 'Greeting Farm' stamps come in vairiety of different collections, but the collection we have used is the 'Miss Anya Collection'. There are three stamps in this set though on these two cards we've produced, we have only used one of the three so there are many more designs that can be made.

This is an 'Easel' style card we've made using a Scalloped '6x6' square card. We have used a variety of differant style backing papers, using Pink as our main theme colour. The stamped image has also been sprayed with glitter to add shimmer and dimension to the card.

This is a simple 'Landscape Fold' style card that we've used at a size of '6x8'. Again, on this card we have also used a variety of backing papers, placing the 'Polka Dot Pink' backing at the very back of the card to help influence the idea of layering up. This card is based on the theme colour of pink, and being as this has been designed as an eighteenth birthday card, we have also introduced 'Hot Pink' to empathise this occasion. The image has once again been sprayed with a glitter coating to match the numbers '18' at the bottom of the card. It has then been finished off with added embelishments to 'Glitz' the card up.
