Pretty Peacock Fern Leaves

This card I made a few weeks ago.  I was looking at the new stamp set ... Forever Fern and wondering how I could recreate a similar fern look without actually having the stamp set!
I now have the stamp set and will make a similar card in the next week or two!



1:  Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White and Gold Foil cardstock.
2:  Run the Pear Pizzazz through the Subtles Embossing Folder.
3:  Using Pretty Peacock, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz ink, stamp the leaves onto your Whisper  White cardstock
4:  Using the Layering Circles Die and the Label Me Lovely punch cut your centre piece for the sentiment, out of Pretty Peacock, Gold Foil and Whisper White cardstock.
5:  Cut some more leaves from the Gold Foil.
6:  Glue down, embellish with glitter dots and colour the Crinkled Seam White ribbon in Old Olive Stampin Blends. 

Six steps to a great card!

Pressed Petals DSP

Still using up some of our now retired DSP.  This one is Pressed Petals.
I've used Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede cardstock to create this greenery card to one of our team members anniversary this month!


Take a piece of Soft Suede cardstock to create your card base.
Add a  layer of Crumb Cake as a second layer.
Run your Very Vanilla cardstock through the Pinewood Plank Embossing folder, then add a small piece of the Pressed Petals DSP to the left side.



Cut out some leaves using your favourite die sets, I used different pieces from the Frosted Bouquet Dies;  Eclectic Layers Dies and Stylish Stems Dies .... any will look stunning!
Some were cut in Mossy Meadow and Gold Foil.


I used the sentiment "this calls for confetti!" from the So Sentimental Stamp Set, cut from the Layering Oval Dies, then added a second scalloped edged oval behind my sentiment.
Add some ribbon to match and bling to match what you have!
I used Frosted Clear and Epoxy Droplets.

A finished card!
Hope you enjoy my creation.
Cheers!

Garden Lane - Memorable Birthday

This card turned out really well and has fast become my favourite of the ones I have made lately.
Using up some DSP - Garden Lane - to make way for new DSP, always trying to make room for more DSP!

The Soft Sea Foam cardstock goes really well with the Mossy Meadow and the addition of some Gold Foil makes a very stylish card.

I recently featured this card in my June Make and Take and the ladies enjoyed playing around with the leaves and die cuts from the Stylish Stems Dies, to create their own take on my card.


I would be very happy to receive this card.
Stampin' Up! has a great way of changing up their products.  Even though some of these products I've used in this card have now retired, there will be something similar in the current catalogue.
Would you like a current catalogue?
Send me a message and I'll post one out to you.
Once you have sorted what you want to purchase - use my Host Code for June:  BB6CYN9R and I'll send you a gift!

Happy crafting!
Cheers!
