Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon ladies. I thought I would show you a card I made recently (about an hour ago actually) - it just awaits its greeting. I made it using some of my John Next Door flowers & leaves.  I will show you a photo of a box of them waiting to be used . Some of the flowers and here is the card. Just a simple design, awaiting a greeting. That's me for today. 'Bye for now.

Good morning everyone I hope you had a good weekend. I have another of my new flower die cards to show you, made at the weekend. The embossed layer was using an embossing folder included in a magazine. I inked it so that the colour went into the de-bossed side - so that it was very delicate. The daisy flower I made from ordinary weight copy paper & coloured them with pink ink. The ivy leaves I made from a lightweight white card & gave them just a hint of pink. It didn't look right with white leaves, or with green ones. I am really pleased with the finish.   I have not put a sentiment until I know who will be receiving it. Have a good day. 'Bye for now.

Recently I weakened & bought some John Next Door flower stamps with matching dies.  Ooh - by the way - Good Morning everyone. Now, I love making flowers & I already have a mixture of stamps that have to be hand cut & stamps that can be die cut - but you have to do each one individually.  John Next Door, & I am sure you have seen them, came up with the idea of plates of stamps with matching die plates.  So, you can stamp & die-cut multiple flowers.  I am all for saving time & theses work a treat.  Since buying them I have been looking at images of cards made by other people - mainly because over the last week or two my creative mojo has once again flown out the door.  Perhaps that should now read - had flown. On Thursday I finally sat down & made my first JND card & here it is; There is quite a bit of die-cutting but I can still use my favourite craft - stamping. The flowers is his blossom flower both stamped ...
