Ivy the Bunny Plant Pot Accordion Card

Also today, I have another card featuring a stamp from the lovely new collection of Stacey Yacula Stamps from Purple Onion Designs, which is available now!! 

 The new collection is called 'Sweet Occasions' and it includes stamps for all the major occasions and holidays throughout the year!
The complete collection is available at a discounted set price for a limited time. The whole set (a whopping 25 stamps and a 20 piece sentiment set) will be $100.00. The discounted set price will only be available until Sunday 7th June, 2015.

The heart and layers on the second panel are all cut from dies included in the Accordion Oval set.


I stamped Ivy and the pot onto different patterned and coloured papers and fussy cut them out, then added some White Signo Uniball pen and Copics for a few details.
The papers are all from Basic Grey's 'Mon Ami' 6x6 pad.
I hand cut some curved red pieces for the card page corners, and glue on some button threaded with twine (Beacon's 3-in-1 glue is great for this.)

Jolly the Snowman Pop it Ups Card (From Stacey Yacula & Purple Onion Designs' New Collection)

I mentioned in my last post that there is a lovely new collection of Stacey Yacula Stamps coming soon to Purple Onion Designs, and it's available from TODAY!!  It's called 'Sweet Occasions' and the collection covers all the major seasons and holidays throughout the year!

  The complete new collection is available at a discounted set price for a limited time. The entire collection (a whopping 25 stamps and a 20 piece sentiment set) will be $100.00. The discounted set price will only be available until Sunday 7th June, 2015.

Here is another card I made with a stamp from the collection - Jolly the Snowman. Isn't he great?!


I used the Copic Airbrush to darken the sky on my card, and added snowflakes with Copic Opaque White Paint. 
I used Versamark ink and white embossing powder for the sentiment, and added it to the little pop-up tab on the shelf section.
The snowman I coloured with Copics and White Signo Uniball pen, cut him out by hand, and added some Stickles Glitter Glue. I stuck him to the card with foam pads.

Karen Burniston's May Designer Challenge - Barn Card

Karen's challenge for the Design Team this month is BARNS!
Karen's new release which is coming up is so much fun! A barn with sliding doors, Brownie the Cow, Cheepers the Chicken, Virgil the Pig, the Hay There Pop Stand set, and the Farm Greetings stamps set. I used everything on this card (except Virgil), on an Accordion Rectangle card base.

My first panel uses Brownie the Cow, cut from Elizabeth Craft Design Adhesive Velvet.
I used papers from Basic Grey's Fresh Cut 6x6 pad, and cut some hay from the Hay There Pop Stand set.

The second panel uses one of the new stamps, with VersaMark Ink, and white embossing powder.
The third panel has the new barn (which I trimmed a little down the right hand side, so that the accordion folds can fold properly when the card closes).

The last panel features Cheepers the Chicken, with the speech bubble from the Rectangle Accordion set, and part of the same stamp (with the lettering above and below masked off with Washi Tape when applying the ink, and removed before stamping.)

Purple Onion Designs Blue Bird Tag Thank You Card

Just a little card today, using stamps from Purple Onion Designs, a tag die set from Papertrey Ink, and the bow from a Stampin' Up punch.
(I used Elizabeth Craft Designs 6mm Transparent Double Sided Tape to assemble the bow - it's really strong, and holds the bow perfectly.)
I stamped some little flowers across the bottom of the card, with a stamp from this set, and coloured the centres and leaves with Copics.

I also coloured the bird and banner with Copics, and cut them out by hand, and stuck them on with foam pads.
The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Kate & Co Oxford Lane 6x6 Pad.
