Stampin' Up's Dotty Angles with Punched Flower Cascade

Hello,

and welcome from a sunny, but breezy, South of England! It's beautiful here again today but much colder than Wednesday when we sat in the garden chillin' together in the warm sun! At least it's been nice for most of the school holidays though :-)

So, today's card uses another stamp set I haven't broken out in a while: Dotty Angles. I really like this  set for mens cards but I wanted to make something a bit different with it so I started by finding a colour combo I liked on Pinterest. I love to use sketches and/or colour combos to get those creative juices flowing ;-) This is a Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate combo ...

 I "cupped" my flowers using the Simply Scored Stylus and my Piercing Mat (please see THIS video)

I also added some vellum flowers and plenty of rhinestones too ;-)

 This sentiment is from Petit Pairs

 One last shot to finish today!

Well, for some unknown reason I can't get the products to load up so I'll add those later for you :-) but if you want to peruse the annual catalogue while you wait, please CLICK HERE.
**EDIT TO SAY: All fixed now, links at the end of the post as usual xx**

Thanks for looking today :-D

Stampin' Hugs,

Seven Days of Christmas Cards with Festival of Trees by Stampin Up! *Day 7*

Hello!

So, here we go with the final card (#7) on my 7 days of Christmas Cards with Festival of Trees tour.

To see all the posts together please click on THIS LINK . 

Obviously as the week goes on there should be more and more posts pop up through this link :-)

  I love this colour combo, so modern and fresh and the little trees look lovely from the Trim the Trees paper stack. The colour combo is Crisp Cantaloupe and Cherry Cobbler.

 We stapled the ribbon to the card and tied the bow around the staple to get this look

 This sentiment is from Endless Wishes

 and the side view of the trees, one with dimensionals, both with rhinestone tops ;-)

Ok, that's all from me for now. I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of super quick thank-you cards.

Dotty Angles with Age Awareness by Stampin' Up! to make a card for the men

Good morning,

I'm off out in a bit to run a couple of errands before coming back and hitting the craft desk again, it's so tough sometimes ;-)

Before I pop out I have a great card to share with you today for a guy! I love this card and I had a play with my new Tag Punch to make this one along with the Dotty Angles and Age Awareness stamp sets, these two sets are both photopolymer, let me explain why that's so handy for this card....

 First of all the Dotty Angles stamp is not long enough to go right down the side of your card but this is not a problem as they are photopolymer you can see through and stamp right along to get a continuous image. 

TOP TIP 1:  Place your piercing mat under your card and then stamp. This is useful with some of the photopolymer stamps especially Dotty Angles, so you get a good, solid image.

To make this tag I used the Angled Tag Topper Punch, I must admit I wasn't going to purchase this but after seeing it used a lot on the WWW I succumbed and I have to say I LOVE it! It's so quick and easy and the hole's always just in the right place {great for ocd types like moi}, I have already made lots of tags with it from my off-cuts of card and DSPaper, I'll share those with you soon too.

So, to get this look on the tag I started by stamping the lines across the bottom in Lost Lagoon.
 TOP TIP 2: Use you embossing buddy before stamping with versamark to heat emboss, it helps stop stray pieces of powder sticking where you don't want it.
Then added the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed using white embossing powder and then finally added the balloon just in Versamark for this watermark look. Again, all made a lot easier with photopolymer stamps ;-)

OK, I'm off out now but I hope you liked today's card and I'll be back soon with another.
Thanks for looking today :-)
