Birthday Wishes.. by Pam Simpson

Hello everyone Pam here today..I love hearts/flowers and pink! for a special friends birthday.

I started by cutting three colours for my "Deco Shinning Heart" new from Poppystamp Dies,  you do not have to use this pretty die on a small card! 

Starting to build colours on the "Doubled Stitched Tag Frames" 

This is finished ready for the card.

Tip!

This is a wine coloured mat/layer ..I have gutted the centre out! why wasted card you cannot see? 6.1/4" wine card ...

See can you tell! 6" pink card

Plain white complete tag, adhered flat on an angle.

Tip!

I did`nt have any ribbon in the colour I wanted..use a permanent marker ..mine is a Pro marker.

Tip!

 

Scribble colour onto white card..for tiny flowers/leaves.

Completed card 6.1/2" square.. I have used Poppystamps Finial Corner along with these pretty tiny layered flowers, sparkly gems in the centres. See how I used the remaining left over heart ...

Hope you like my card enough to create your own.

Thank you for stopping by and any comment you care to leave.  Pam x

Wedding Anniversary..PSC#53 by Pam Simpson

Hello everyone, Pam here today.. hope you are playing along with this months February Challenge  "Love Me Do"..so think Anniversary..Wedding or how about a Valentine card you created and would like to share.

Another way to use Poppystamps "Seed Love Collage" said I would share another take on this beautiful die last month.  This one is so easy!.

Cut in pink card the Seed Love Collage and cream Whittle Heart frame.

1..Adhere the cream heart as shown around the pretty lace heart..2..cut around using scissors!!! how pretty does this look.

This is the layout on the card, I decided to go with pink Whittle Heart (Always change my mind lol) and pink letters LVE..

my card is 7.1/2" x 7.1/2" finished... 6" x 6" top card, touch larger in pink mat, this has ribbon wrapped around to the back, I used a ruler for the placement of my letters and heart. 

Dandelion Stem with Bellina Flora  left corner and Shaker Heart with "Happy Anniversary" gems to finish..

How simple is this card! hope you`ll join our challenge this month and you never know you could be the one to win a prize.

Welcome Christmas!. by Pam Simpson

Hello everyone, As Christmas is so near! think this will be my last 2018  Poppystamp creation..

Love the pop of black with white embossed stamping on this  "Deco Cecil Frame" card! my first time trying these colours together.

What is needed to stamp onto black card, make sure you use rub an antistatic bag or talc on your card before stamping! help`s  with the white particular`s from white embossing powder.

 Cut out with Poppystamp dies  Deco Cecil Frame.

Gold mirri frame.

1" wide red card strip die cut as shown ..using Poppystamps "Tailored Stitches".

I have used card pieces from my bit box, to cut foliage.

Card size..7"x 5" ..I have used gold mirri and white card as matts.. Rather than cut longer border strips !..adhered gold ribbon with strong double sided tape front and back, the cut in half, your topper will hide this. adhere as shown, place a couple of foam pads in the centre.

Topper has been mattered onto white card and foam pads added bottom and top.

Moulded flowers "Stitched Bloom Trio" layered up as shown, pearl for the centres. fill in with Greenery Bundle & Berry Sprig..tiny circles are from Greenery Bundle, random pearls to finish.

Deco Tree Frame Tag Card.. by Pam Simpson

Hello everyone Pam here today,  Christmas Holiday is fast approaching!  how you doing with your card making, I still need so many cards for family and friends.

I have used Poppystamp dies "Deco  Tree Frame die"  with "Double Stitched Tag Frames" as the focal point on this Christmas card, decided on traditional Xmas colours.

Use both the largest and next size down together to cut these tag shapes. Make sure you tape them together well! if they slip you`ll damage your dies.

Cut the "Deco Tree Frame" in green and white card.

Thin strong sticky tape, across  the top bar, to adhere metallic thread, I also put strong tape onto reverse of the trees, to hold the thread.

Next..I adhered to a white tag as shown, with  the green outer border tag.

Make sure to hold your thread in place with strong sticky tape.

Two decorated trees, topper ready for the card.

I have placed the topper onto the larger outer frame, ran a gold pen around the outer edge.

Foliage made with Poppystamp dies. "Poinsettia Mini" & "Greenery Bundle" cinnamon stick..I have splattered watered down white acrylic paint.

Poppystamp "Art Deco Frames and Phrases die set" for the sentiment. Birchpress designs random scattered Sequins "Not So Heavy Metal"

Thank you for stopping by Pam x

Traditional festive colours for this Christmas card. main colour Ivory..finished card size 7"x 7".

I started by stamping and heat embossing in gold this lovely sentiment from Poppystamp dies, "Christmas Time" love the fonts used.

Red glitter card.. I have used both these dies together, largest size of the Pointed Square Frames and Deco Victor square.

Lovely fit to create a larger square card..Plus from the Deco Victor Square, you get lovely corners tiny diamonds to decorate your cards! so make sure you keep for future use.

6"x 6" ivory card square ..adhere ribbon across the centre..Next adhere to a red card square touch larger.

I have offset the topper to the left edge..as I want a bow and decoration on the right side. 

Finished card ready to decorate 7"x 7".
