Stampin Saturday with Picture Perfect

For this week's Stampin Saturday Card I have used one of my favourite sets, Picture Perfect.  A few days ago I stamped and cut out several of these blue roses along with some leaves, but struggled to decide what to make with them as what I originally had in mind didn't really seem to work.

So I set about making a layered card with the roses glued flat on the card, then the white layer raised up with foam tape.

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp sets - Picture Perfect, Better Together
Ink pads - Soft Sky, Dapper Denim, Soft Suede, Old Olive
Card - Whisper White, Whisper White thick card
Other - fine tip glue, foam adhesive strips, Stampin' trimmer

Masculine Monday with Swirly Bird stamps

Well Monday again, and the beginning of  a new working week for many of us - me included - and what a dreary rainy old day it is here in London, and it's meant to be the first official day of summer!

For my card today, I decided to use the popular Swirly Bird stamp set, this time using the kite stamps to create a nice fresh and clean card suitable for the younger boys in the family - or just anyone that likes kites!

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp sets - Swirly Bird, Love and Affection
Ink pads - Pool Party, Real Red, Dapper Denim
Card - Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Whisper White thick card

Stampin Saturday with Picture Perfect

I love the rose in the Picture Perfect set, and decided I would try it out with the new Dapper Denim In Color.

The rose has three layers - the first I stamped in Soft Soft, the second layer is Dapper Denim stamped off first, then the third layer is Dapper Denim at full strength.  I also created a mask for the flower to be able to make the leaves look like they are behind the rose. The leaves are also made using just one ink pad - Old Olive - again using the stamping off technique.

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:

Masculine Monday with Moroccan DSP

I had a new box of goodies arrive at the weekend, and I couldn't wait to have a play!  I'd also seen a sketch on the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge blog which I did not have chance to play along with, but wanted to use this idea for a couple of cards.  So I used the Moroccan Designer Series Paper, along with the new Dapper Denim card to create my version of sketch #175.

Designer Series Paper - Moroccan DSP
Card - Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Whisper White thick card
Dies - Hello You thinlits
