Botanical Builder Card 4

This card I'm showing you today, is another of the series for a class, that uses Vellum; plain Vellum and the border die.

If you look closely at the two larger flowers, you can see the touch of So Saffron I added to them. The yellow peeks through the Smoky Slate die cut stamen. The gray leaf stamped with white ink and the white leaves with Smoky Slate ink.

For the birthday sentiment, I backed it with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. To shape the sentiment I used the Word Window Punch for the sentiment, and cut a strip of glimmer paper just a little larger and rounded the corners with a small corner punch. 

View from an angle...

I did pull out the Botanical Blooms stamp set to stamp inside. To make the colours lighter, I off stamped first.

So that is the last card for this class which will be posted soon.  In the mean time I'm trying to complete another project and also get together instructions for the much requested 3 x 3 square cards box.

Below, you will find the product I used to create this card with. Thank you for joining me today, and I hope you have a good week.

Happy Creating!

Botanical Builder Card 3

I'll be sad when Blackberry Bliss is gone at the end of May. But in the meantime we can still create some lovely things with it in classes and such. 

Today's Botanical Builder card also uses the Botanical Blooms stamp set to stamp the leaves.

And you will see that I used a sponge to colour the flower centers a bit, too. Even the Hello Honey flower is coloured in the center with the same ink colour and thereby darkening the center of the flower (which you can see better in real life).

By using the border die on the sides we can create a very interesting and unique look to the card. Let's look at it from a slight angle to better see this effect.

For this card, this is it. There will be one more card to show you that will be part of the class, but I love this set so you will probably see more things made using it anyway.

Watch for the class announcement, and below, are the things I used to make this card. 

In the meantime, happy creating everyone!

Botanical Builder Card 2

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Yesterday I share a couple of all white cards created with the new 2016 Occasions Botanical Builder Die set. Today, and the next couple of days, I'll be sharing more cards created with that set.

This one is a much simpler card than the ones I shared yesterday, and was cased from Pinterest.

You will note the pattern in behind the red flowers. This is the beautiful printed Vellum Stack available in the 2016 Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

In order to get this beautiful vellum stack, you must have an order of $60 or more and can then order this paper for free!

Now back to the card. Here is a little closer look at the flowers.

You will note the white center of the flowers, This was done using my 1/4" circle/hole punch and gluing it to the center. I also took the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen and coloured the black circular tips with it. It really makes everything in the flower pop!

Here is a Stampin' Up! Video showcasing the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack.

This card will be a part of a future class, just FYI. But if you want this vellum for yourself you must get it before March 31st. (I will enough for the class)

Thank you for checking this out, and I'll see you tomorrow with another Botanical Builders card.

Happy Stamping & Creating!

Two All White Botanical Builder Cards

One night I sat with my Whisper White scraps and die cut a lot of "Botanical Builder" blooms. I was originally thinking of creating just one card, but the next day when I created my card, I had a lot of left overs. So I decided to make a second one. Since the first was a landscape card, I built the second as a portrait card.

 Here is the first and landscape card.

In the following close up you can better see the many layers to build a couple of the flowers. The one thing that gets me is that I didn't have enough pearls for the two cards...darn it. So you will see some flowers with rhinestones instead.

Side view...

another side view...

As I mentioned before, when I had so many pieces still left, I decided there was enough to create another card, and this time as a portrait card.

Here is a closer look at the flower arrangement.

A side view...

...and another side view...

I don't know what it is, but whenever I make an all white card, I love it! One of the very first classes I taught here in Victoria, there was an all white card too that was a bug hit with the class.

I decided not include any sentiment to the cards. A person can always add one if they wish, or just leave it as it is. This card could be for a wedding, a confirmation, a baptism, a sympathy, or for a person that just loves the simplicity of white and/or flowers.

One of these cards will be part of a future class, so watch out for it!
