Perfectly Matched - Sunflowers

 Hi Everybody,

This lovely collection is on a special 30% off discount with Craft Stash at present and there are four designs to choose from, along with stamps to compliment the card

This offer wont be around for long so take a look while you can 

For this one I have used the Sunflowers and kept the card really simple with just a little bit of inking to enhance the flowers.

The vidoe will show you how I got this look and it is really easy to do and no colouring skills are needed.

And although they are sunflowers I have done one in another colour to ring the changes. 

The vidoe is only eight minutes long but I hope you will enjoy it just the same.

Altenew Floral Acanthus

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am here with another colour scheme for yesterdays  Craft Your Life Kit from Altenew.

Adding it an embossed panel helps the die cut to stand out even more and adding the gold glitter to the flourish does the same.

I was happy playing with this kit and I think they are such good value with the items that are included inside the box, which are dies, stamps, stencils and a 3-D embossing folder.

The sentiment on this card is from the kit and there are several for you to choose from

This card has the addition of a sentiment from a set that is available at Craft Stash and I have added the links below.

If you want to buy any of these products please consider using the links as they are affiliate links which means I will get a small commission if you buy but it will not cost you anything extra.

Altenew Craft Your Life Kit

Hi Everybody,

So this pretty card is created with the Craft Your Life Kit for September 2022 and it is the Floral Acanthus.

The large die cuts all the flower, leaves and flourishes out all at the same time and then how you add them to your designs is up to you.

I decided to make two cards from one lot of die cuts and I used the stencil to colour them all the same way.

This is the first card and it is an  USA2 size which is 51/2 x 41/4  and I have embossed another layer to sit under the flowers.

The other flower is a different style but it looks just as good and again it is added to the embossed panel.

You can of curse add both flowers to one card if you wished but I like the two for one idea ...

I have used sequins on one and small pearls on the other to add extra embellishment and the sentiment both die cut and stamped are also from the same kit. 

Two really pretty cards that are quick and easy to make that would be suitable for any occasion.

I made two more in a different colour way and I will add those tomorrow.

More tomorrow ...
