QUICK & EASY CARD USING PETAL PALETTE

Sometimes I find that when a stamp set or colours makes there way to my desk I develop lots of ideas. This was one of those times.

A few days ago I created an easel card using the Petal Palette stamp set with Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy and Melon Mambo (see here for the project). I have used these supplies once more, but created a different card.


I used a second generation stamping technique to give the appearance of two different shades of Coastal Cabana.

The sentiment was cut out using one of the dies from the Petals & More thinlit dies set. The Melon Mambo layer was created using the same die, cut and moved down to create another layer (please see the video below to see how this was created).

I love the way the branches have turned out.

All the colours of ink in the card are also repeated in the layers of cardstock. Adding layers to a card not only gives the card added depth but also allows the opportunity to continue with the colour theme, linking all aspects of the card.

Until next time. Happy crafting,

PETAL PALETTE BUNDLE

One of the fun things about buying bundles is that you know that the images of both the stamp set and the thinlits will always work well together as they have been designed to match. For me, this takes a lot of the thought process away.

For this card I stayed with soft colours - matching Brushing Bride with Crumb Cake and added Chocolate Chip to give a little pop to the base and the sentiment. I used the smallest flower in the Petal Palette to softly create a background. I used a thinlit from Petals & More thinlits to add some corner interest, which is simply cut out of Crumb Cake cardstock.

I added a touch of colour to the body of the bird by using a Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker.

A FLORAL GRUNGE

Today I was in a grungy mood so took the Petal Palette into a distressed direction.

Firstly I used the spots in the set to create a background on the Very Vanilla card using Chocolate Chip and Blushing Bride. I then used paper snips to distress the edges of the card and sponged using Crumb Cake. I then screwed the piece of card up to distress it even further and hand flatten it out and stuck it to the base.

I then placed a couple of the larger floral images from Petal Palette and a few leave stems cut using Petals & More thinlits as the main feature.

Measurements:
Chocolate Chip Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm
Very Vanilla Layer 9.5 x 14cm
Inside Very Vanilla  Layer 9.5 x 14cm
Scraps of Very Vanilla and Pear Pizzazz

A LITTLE BIRDY

Always love a colour challenge to get the creative juices flowing, For todays project I turned to a Facebook colour challenge group - Stampin' Up! Color Challenge. January's colours are:

This colour challenge inspired me to pull out the Petal Palette stamp set and ink it up. I love using Pear Pizazz for leaves, so this set instantly sprung to mind when I saw this months challenge.

For this card I wanted the little bird from the Petal Palette to sit in a tree. To create the feeling of the bird being nestled in the tree rather than just sitting on a branch I decided to fussy cut a couple of the leave branches and put them on dimensionals to create a fuller looking tree.

I gabbed the bird just a touch of colour using a blender pen and Bermuda Bay ink.

Chocolate Chip Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm

ALL OCCASIONS WITH PETAL PALETTE BUNDLE

I like to have some all occasions cards in my stash that I can use for anything. I find by not having a sentiment, it often makes a card more versatile. This one could be used for a birthday, thank you, thinking of you, get well or even just because, depending on what I hand write in the center.

I used one of  the smaller floral images and stamped them in a line to create the background image. The Bermuda Bay strip was run through the Big Shot using one of the embossing folders from Petal Pair Textured Impressions (145656) from the 2018 Occasions Catalogue.

I then used the same style as the background for the inside of the card.

I added a little colour to the images by using a blender pen, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz and Flirty Flamingo ink.

Measurements:
Chocolate Chip Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm
