Peaceful Peonies

 Today I decided to have a play with some ephemera. I was going to use the paper off it too but I got lost in the ephemera.

The Collection is called Peaceful Peonies by Couture Creations. I got this set a little while ago and I'm slowly working thru actually playing with my goodies. So I hope you get some ideas with this post.

It is a very pink set which isn't something I use too much but I challenged myself.

I started by making the tags and just trying different things to see how it worked together.

Recipe:

Peaceful Peonies Ephemera pack

Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink

Paper Rose Starry Night Stencil

White cardstock 6 x 13.8cm

Kraft cardstock 6.4 x 14.2cm

I quite like how it turned out. I love pushing myself.

Ipad Card

 My baby was turning 14 and I wanted to make a special card.

Recipe:

Paper Rose Awesome Words

Stampendous Mega Happy

Uniquely Creative Sweet Sentiments

Stampin Up Text Ya Later

1/2" Circle Punch

Corner Chomper

A4 Black Cardstock

White Cardstock cut to 14.4 x 20.5cm

Smaller black cardstock 12.6 x 15.5cm

White scrap cardstock

Paper 13.7 x 20.2cm

Paper 7.7 x 13.7

Hand  punch that cuts a tiny circle for applying brads etc

Using a A4 piece of black cardstock I folded this in half and rounded the corners with an 1/4" corner punch. Using the white cardstock round the corners.  Punch a small hole in the top of the white piece roughly 1cm from the top but in the middle of the white cardstock. Glue this flat onto the card base.

Glue the other black cardstock panel. 

Use a 1/4" circle punch to make your button for the bottom of your iPad.

Using different sentiment stamps and talk bubble stamps, workout what your sentiment will be. 

Ignore my grammar mistake. I originally had "Wishing you AN incredibly birthday" Obviously I decided to change the "Incredibly" as that wasn't going to work, so I changed it to 'happy' but not realising the 'AN' part. Next time, mask out the 'N', or maybe not leave it to the last minute and double check the whole sentence... Probably helpful!  

Well that is my card, I hope you enjoyed it!!

Flourish Christmas Tree

 Today I have 2 cards for you using Paper Rose Flourish Christmas Tree.

Recipe:

Arteza 36 watercolour (Sepia Brown)- use what you have

Paper Rose Flourish Christmas Tree 19474

Paper Rose Modern Geometric Stencil

Ranger MoonDust Stickles 

Paper Rose Christmas Sentiments 18225

Uniquely Creative Clear Sequins

Versamark Embossing Ink and Pen

Gold Embossing Powder

Our second card I am going to use similar things with the Christmas Tree die and Christmas sentiments.I will be adding the Mirror card and Rich Cocoa Memento Ink.

I used a laminating pouch that I sprinkled glitter in and then sent it thru the laminator. This is not needed for the project as in the end, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know it was there. You would assume it was just glitter inside the shaker card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thank you for stopping by.

Festive Noel

 Spellbinders has a really pretty die called Festive Noel, there is a similar one with "Joy" too.
