Just believe card with Artisan embellishment lace

 

Hello my stamping friends!

I'm here today to share a pretty little card using a couple of new items from the beautiful new Seasonal catalogue.

This is a friendship card with lots of soft, feminine touches and texture. The Lace comes from the Artisan embellishments kit on page 10 of the Seasonal catalogue (AU$16.95). You receive 45.7cm of this lovely lace in the kit. This kit is one of those fantastic finds for all crafty people. All the elements work beautifully on cards, scrapbook layouts, even as embellishments on fabric projects.
 

I have used markers to colour the stamps before stamping onto Very vanilla cardstock. The other colours used here are Raspberry ripple and Primrose petals with a touch of Old olive.  The Primrose cardstock has been embossed with the new Honeycomb textured impressions embossing folder, page 6 of the new Seasonal catalogue (AU$13.95)

Below you can see the kit contents. I love how the ribbons and lace are presented on these gorgeous tags with the hearts on them. These pieces can also be used on a card or scrap layout. The back side of the tags are white so you can use them either way, you could even stamp them. There is two doilies in the kit, a round one and a heart shaped one. And aren't all those different buttons fabulous!?

 

What do you think you would make with all these lovely items?

Happy Stamping!

Love, Claire

A Very Vanilla card For the Newlyweds

 Hi My Stamping Friends!

We had the privilege of being present at the wedding of my husband's cousin yesterday. It was rather special, as it was in Melbourne, and now that we live here, we were able to attend!

It was an elegant wedding and I based the card on elements of the wedding invitation. It was a simple ivory invitation with beautiful calligraphy in black. So I decided to start with Very vanilla and only use this one colour with a touch of silver and black.

 

I have been enjoying embossing the flap of the Stampin' up! envelopes which are available in Whisper white and Very vanilla. Naturally for this occasion, I chose Very vanilla to match the card. I have used the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing folder on the card and envelope. The butterflies were cut out using the Big shot and Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The embosslits cut out the shapes as well as embossing them.  The Leaves are cut using the big shot and the Little leaves sizzlit die. The sizzlit dies just cut out the shapes. I also used the Itty bitty banners framelits to cut out the "For the Newlyweds" sentiment which comes from the Teeny tiny sentiments stamp set.

The little tags were made with the Tiny tags stamp set and punch.

 The card is finished off with some beautiful Very vanilla Seam binding ribbon and a rhinestone brad.
Thanks for looking!
I've been organising my stamping desk and have some pictures to share with you over the next few days so stay tuned!
Happy Stamping!!
Love, Claire
