Winter Flora with Kate Hadfield Designs



 

 Hello everyone!  A new year starting and we’re off to great start by sharing this 

beautiful thank you card using products from


            Kate Hadfield Designs

          Winter Flora Digital Stamp


  With so many elements in the collection, it’s easy to put them together!  Let

me show you how I made my card.  I composed my design in the computer

and printed it out onto ExPressIt card stock.

                                                                      


  I did a lot of flipping and turning and sizing with these elements to get them where I wanted!



 

I googled winter floral palette to choose my colors.  I should have chosen my paper 

at this point, but I really did know where I was going with this.  I started coloring my 

images trying to keep the colors a bit muted.

 

                                                                                            


    After I finished coloring, I fussy cut the image leaving a very narrow white border.  

 

                                                                                        


I found some paper in my stash right away!  It incorporated the gold tones and muted cool colors perfectly!  The stripe pattern along the bottom could also have gone along the side.  But I kept it at the bottom.  I also die cut a few flags from the left over bits and glued them to the top right.  I die cut the base panel and adhered it to my side folding A2 white card base.  I popped up the floral focal with foam tape.  My sentiment came from my stash.  I added a bit of metallic pen work to the insides of the white flowers and then added ombre glitter drops.  And that finished my card project!

 


I hope you give this a try!  It’s fun to pick out a color palette online and then color your image!  You can find this digital stamp set and many ore at

Best-Teas ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps


Hello everyone!  This time of year it's so nice to be cozy with a
mug of tea and your bestie!  Today I'll be using products from


This card was a snap to put together!  Let me show you how I
made my card! I first foiled my Flash Card panel and an A2
size solid panel using a brown foil.


These Flash Cards are toner reactive.  I placed cut pieces of the
brown foil on the hearts and the words, and teal foil on the mugs.
I die cut this panel with the largest tag die in the set and it
actually makes a narrow frame.  So, I die cut the toner card
with the brown foil on it and created a narrow frame.  I
ink blended the edges of the flash card with a teal ink   I chose teal
 mirror card stock for the background of this project.


The coloring was minimal for this project - teal for the mugs, red
for the tea bag hearts, teal for the floating hearts and brown for the tea.


Hearts and tea are colored...so easy!


After coloring the tag, I stamped a sentiment from the Tea & Coffee Time
Stamp Set with dark brown ink.
Copic colors used: E15, E18, E47, R02, R05, R17, BG000, BG01, BG05, BG53
I adhered the mirror card stock to the base, then adhered my frame and my white
focal panel fit neatly inside the frame.  I added a bit of shimmer pen on the floating
hearts and the hearts on the mugs.  And I added some small brown gems.
And that finished my card!


This was a quick card because there wasn't much coloring!  You can find
the products I used for this card and so much more at


Til next time...
