Floral heart wreath for Mum

Hello lovely people,

Do you remember the floral heart stamps and die set that I was having so much fun with back in February?

If not, you can check it out here, and if you do, then get ready to see some more of it for my weekly Dies to Die For DT inspiration...but I think you'll agree it has a bit of a different vibe this time!

I think you can see a little better in this angled shot how I cut an aperture in a square of Kraft card and layered the die cut floral heart on top.  I then attached this with foam pads to the scalloped square in which I had already stamped the greeting.

The very different vibe for this card comes from the combination of colouring on Kraft and the no-lines colouring.  I'll be honest, it's kind of a pain in the backside to do but oh sooooo worth it when it's finished!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links below or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for popping in and I hope you have a beautiful day!

3 ways with a pretty floral wreath stamp

Hello lovely people,

I'm bringing you a triple whammy for my Dies to Die For DT inspiration this week!

Isn't it great when a stamp and/or die set inspires you so much that you instantly have a trillion ideas for how you want to use it?

That's how I felt when I saw this beautiful stamp and die set from Pretty Pink Posh, so I wanted to showcase just a few ways to use it :-)

For this card I stamped the outer wreath and central element onto separate pieces of white stamping card and coloured them.

Then I cut the outer wreath into a square and layered the central piece into the middle using foam pads.

I've used both the outer wreath and central element for this second card as well, but stamped them both on the same piece of stamping card, then coloured them and cut the whole thing out with the outer edge die.

Again, I've layered the piece onto the card with foam pads for dimension and this time I've added one of the little sentiments underneath.

Finally, for my tag I stamped just the outer wreath, coloured it and cut out with the wreath die.

I stamped a sentiment onto the tag and layered the wreath over it using, yes you guessed it, foam pads!

As you can see, I kept the designs simple because my main aim was to show some different ways to use the stamps/dies...oh, and because I like it CAS - lol!

There are even more ways to use this set but I think that's quite enough for now!
