Bloom Card

  Happy Wednesday!

Today's post, I'm sharing this Bloom Card.  To create my card, I've used stencils, dies and stamps from the Art Journal Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my card at home.  

To start, die cut a 4" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Worn Wood Paper Pack. Die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Rounded Rectangle out of the paper. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Place the Bloom stencil on the left hand side of the rectangle. Using a palette knife, put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil as desired. Remove the stencil. Once the texture paste has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Flower Power die, die cut the flower and one of the flower branches out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the two flowers as desired.

From the Morning Letters stamp set, you'll need the letters to spell out bloom. Apply Black Archival Ink to the letters and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Fussy cut the bloom word out. Ink the edges of the word using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle. Foam square the 3 1/2" rectangle to the 3 3/4" rectangle.

Adhere the two flowers as desired to the left hand side of the card. Adhere the bloom word to the bottom stems of the flowers as desired.

To finish the card, cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.

Flowers Pocket

 Happy Sunday!

Today's project is all about spring time flowers. I've created this pretty Flowers Pocket perfect for inside of my planner and just awaiting for something else that is flowery to add into the pocket. To create my pocket, I've used a variety of dies from the Paper Flower Collection, Joset Designs, the Sidekick Essentials Collection and the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my pocket at home. 

To start, choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Reminiscence the Book. Die cut the pocket from the Planner Essentials 30 - Wave Pocket Die. Ink the edges of the pocket using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Leaves & Branches die, you'll need to choose one of the leaves. Die cut the chosen leaf twice out of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the watercolour palette, colour the leaves. Set aside to dry.

The next two steps use the Florals 5 die.

Die cut the leaf and centres once out of a piece of watercolour cardstock. You'll need a total of three centres. Using a waterbrush and the watercolour palette, colour the leaf. Using a waterbrush and the watercolour palette, colour the centres. Set aside to dry.

Die cut the extra large flower once, the large flower three times, the medium flower three times and the small flower three times out of a piece of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the watercolour palette, colour a extra large flower, a large flower, a medium flower and a small flower all in the same colour. Using a waterbrush and the watercolour palette, colour the remaining flowers with the same colour. Set aside to dry.

Die cut a 1 1/8" Diagonal Stitched Fishtail out of a piece of kraft cardstock. From the Sidekick Essentials - Planted with Love stamp set, you'll need the flowers definition. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto the fishtail. Trim the fishtail down to 3 1/2". Ink the edges of the fishtail using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the pocket together.

Shape and adhere the flowers together. Don't forget to add a centre to each flower.

Adhere the extra large flower to the middle left hand side of the pocket. Adhere the remaining flowers one above the extra large flower and one below the extra large flower as desired. Adhere one the leaves that you have two of to the bottom right of the flowers as desired. Adhere the remaining leaves in the top left corner of the flowers as desired.

To finish the pocket, adhere the Flowers fishtail 1/2" from the bottom and 1 1/4" from the left of the pocket.
