Heart Shaped Wreath Card

 Hello and welcome here.  I recently saw a video using a birdhouse stamp from Art Impressions Rubber Stamps, and watercolouring flowers and foliage.  I immediately ordered the stamps, lol.  I don't know how I missed their watercolouring technique before, but I am DOWN with it now!!!  

Card Size:  5.5" x 5.5"

The next video I just happened to watch was one from their FB page, where Kendra shows how to stamp wreaths.  You can find that video HERE...the heart wreath starts at approx. 36:00.  

Well lucky me, my stamps arrived 4 days before a wedding I was going to and I decided to try my hand at the wreath!  This is my attempt. 

This is a better view of the wreath.  I will definitely be making more of these!!!  So simple and quick.

Thanks for stopping by.

Card Size:  5.5" x 5.5"

It's almost Valentine's Day, but I thought I would switch up the sentiment so that I could use my card for a wedding.  It's been a while since I used dimensional flowers so it was fun creating this card. I added a piece of silver cardstock as a mat behind the red cardstock.

I like dimension on my cards but it's difficult to cut already small foam squares into teeny tiny foam squares.  So I started using craft foam!!  At first I bought the foam to use behind larger solid areas, but I saw a few people using it behind more intricate die cuts so I thought this would be a great chance to try it and show you the results.  I have a photo below of the craft foam.

Inside:

Even this close up it's hard to see that the craft foam is even there!

Here's the piece of foam I used, it doesn't matter if it's got a design on it (the local dollar store was clearing out of foam that had designs on it), I just make sure to cut it so that the design goes against the card front, not my die cut.  I have Tombow diamond dot adhesive to adhere the cardstock to the foam.

I am loving my new Altenew stamps.  This time instead of watercolouring I used the different layers that come with the set which is called Peony Bouquet.  The inspiration for this card came from one of the Altenew DT members and you can see hers HERE.

I used silver cardstock for the sentiment to match the silver in the paper.

I stamped and die cut the big peony.  I love that the stamp set has matching dies.
