Bright & Bold Varied Vases Happy Birthday Card

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are well. The weather has taken a turn today, it's cold and miserable so I thought I'd share this bright and bold card.

I have used a lot of colours from our Brights Collection, which are perfect to brighten up your day. Plus, it's a great way to get rid of your scraps.

Create your card base by folding the Melon Mambo Cardstock along the score line and add the whisper white panel to the inside. Add the mango melody dsp to the front

Take the three squares of DSP and place them like diamonds and stamp the flower inage from varied vases in memento. Don't ink up the whole stem as it's too long and will stick out at the bottom. Layer these onto the gorgeous grape squares and add to your card

Cut out three vases using the vase builder punch and some basic black cardstock. Add these to eaxh of the panels so they sit perfectly onto the DSP.

Finally ink up the sentiment from rustic retreat in memento and stamp in the bottom right hand corner.

Thought I'd share a second project with you today, this one I have made especially for a good friend of mine. It's pretty sad that we aren't going to be able to celebrate as we usually would, but it's on hold, and we will definitely celebrate in style as soon as this craziness is gone.

I have used the Pop of Petals and Forever Lovely stamp sets to create this, unfortunately both with be retiring at the end of this catalogue so be sure to check out the retirement list in my online store before they are gone for good.

Create your card base by folding the blushing bride card stock along the score line and add the whisper white panel to the inside.

Take the remaining piece of blushing bride and stamp the small cluster of flowers in two opposite corners using blushing bride ink. Then with lovely lipstick add three flowers scattered in the centre. Add this panel to the card front.

Onto scrap whisper white stamp three flowers in lovely lipstick and cut out using the four petal flower punch. Stamp 5 leaves in old olive onto scraps of old olive cardstock and fussy cut.

Using your die cutting machine with cut out two stitched circles, the largest from gorgeous grape and the bext one down in whisper white. Stamp the sentimentinto the centre of the white circle and then layer onto the other one and add to the card.
