Petal Passion Memories and More Cards

Today I'm sharing a very quick card made from one of the images from the Petal Passion Memories and More card kit. This is a fabulous kit that has many stylish images ready for you to use as they come, or add extra stamping and embellishments to create a stepped up card.

The images vary, but mainly come in black and white. Sometimes you'll find some Powder Pink used too. This limited colour range gives you incredible scope to create a wonderful variety of cards. I have combined the floral image with Silver Glimmer paper, Basic Black card and Petal Passion Designer Series Paper on a Thick White card base.

So quick and simple!

I finished the card with some Vintage Crochet Trim - a bargain on the Clearance Rack, and a little silver cord.  A simple greeting and a tiny heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes and the card is complete.

I love this card and I really love how quick it was to make. If you would like to order any of the products mentioned, simply follow the links throughout the post.

Heartfelt Blooms in Fresh Fig

I promised a few samples of different ways to use Heartfelt Blooms so today I have an easy card using the gorgeous IN COLOR - Fresh Fig.

This colour has so much depth and interest and when it is combined with one of the Distinktive range of stamps by Stampin' Up!, the result is amazing.

I combined the Fresh Fig with Gold Glimmer paper, stamped on Whisper White and made the card base from Fresh Fig A4 card stock.

I added a gold Faceted Gem to the centre of the main flower, and a small gold heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes just above the greeting.

The lower half of the flower has been fussy cut  with a strip of Gold Glimmer paper inserted under the cut edges.

I dry embossed the lower part of the card to create a bit of interest.

A quick card and a quick post today.

Irresistibly Floral Quick Card for All Occasions

If you are looking for a gorgeous quick card to make you should try this wonderful pack of Irresistibly Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!®.

It makes a stunning background for a variety of cards and can be coloured using either the new sponge brayer from Stampin' Up!, a Sponge Dauber or a sponge. I chose to use a sponge - it's just what I like and I don't mind my fingers getting a bit inky!

 I used this as one of the card designs in my Charity Card Buffet supporting Ronald MacDonald House Charities.

Today's card uses one of the patterns available in the pack - a pretty grouping of flowers and I've sponged with Melon Mambo. A quick application of the ink followed by a buff with a soft tissue to bring up the embossed patterns, and the back ground is done.

Trim the card to a little smaller than your card base and tie some Silver 3.2mm ribbon around the top layer. Next, cut out the flourish detail using the Flourish Thinlits and your Big Shot. You could use Shimmery White for this to save time, but I used Whisper White Card Stock and coloured it with Clear Wink of Stella.

Adhere this to your card front with the Fine Tip Glue Pen, adding a dimensional between the 2 layers of the flower. Top it all off with a Rhinestone or a Perfect White Accent coloured Silver with a Metallic Pen.

Here is another example that has been stepped up a little by adding 2 tones of Bermuda Bay ink and a tag and greeting. This card was made at the card buffet by my friend and fellow demonstrator  Leonie Schroder.  See more of her gorgeous work at Stamp a Latte
