Modern Poppies stamp from Paper Rose Studio

Hello Everyone

and Happy New year to you.

I can't believe that we are into January of 2021 already.

Let's hope this is an amazing year for us all.

Today I want to share a card for Paper Rose Studio featuring 

the beautiful Modern Poppies stamp set.

I am a huge fan of flower stamps and I went for a dramatic 

red colour for the Poppies.

I have stamped in Memento ink and used Copics to colour.

Recently I was asked to try a new blending card from Craft Jeanie and I will say that 

I love how clean and smooth the card looks. Red blending can be tricky and some papers can really grab the pigment but the reds on they card blended really easily 

This is such a beautiful stamp that I have kept my design really simple.

I have used a lace decorative border Die to layer up my card 

and my sentiment is die cut out of black card and painted with glossy accents 

to make it pop!

Supplies Used: 

20580 Modern Poppy Stamp Set

20562 Decorative Border Die

20913 Best Wishes Fine Script Layered Die

Copics:

Paper Rose Rustic Succulents Card

Hi everyone!

Well can you believe that it's August already.

I am sharing a card today for Paper Rose Studio featuring the gorgeous Cactus Greetings Stamp Set.

I am thinking that the three projects that i share for August for Paper Rose Studio will be more vintage and grungy than my usual cards.

I have been using my time to catch up on some textured backgrounds that Tim Holtz shared on his Facebook lives. There are some great ideas that you can use to create some super grungy and textured backgrounds.

I have stamped out my succulent stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured in with my Copic markers. I have used colours for my pot so that it looks like aged copper.

My succulents are coloured in violets for the under colouring and greyish greens 

The detail in the picture above shows how the Distress Glaze looks when applied to an entire background and then grunge up with distress ink and a distress crayon, Thanks Tim for the great ideas using the distress crayons.

I have cut out the Texture 4 Die, brick wall, in craft card and embossed it with Vintage Photo 

Distress Glaze. My sentiments are stamped onto card and sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I have also heat embossed in black the word Beautiful.

Colour chart shows my copic markers used for this project.

17866 Cactus Greetings 4 x 6 stamp set

Just A Note

Hi There,

I can't believe that May is almost over, 

I hope you are well and safe wherever you are.

Today I am sharing my third card for May for Paper Rose Studio.

Last year i made a set of cards using a technique called" stained glass window effect".

you can see these cards here

 I have made another card using that technique to add depth to just the flowers on the card. 

My last set of cards using this technique were entirely covered in glossy accents!

To create this card I have die cut my Blossom Outline die and it's base layer as well.

After gluing these two layers together I have coloured in and shaded the petals of the flowers

 and  leaves with Copic Markers.

You don't need to worry about any colour getting on the framed edges

 as we will add another three layers of the outline die on top of our base.

After all the layers are glued together and dry, 

carefully fill each little section of the flowers and leaves with glossy accents and leave to dry completely.

I have then added a final layer of the Blossom Outline die 

to neaten up the edges, this really helps to create a really clean look

 if any of the glossy accents went outside the lines.

The background of the card is simply layered up on grey and Neenah card.

I have cut out my sentiment in a soft silver metallic card.

I have glued silver micro beads on the flower centres with glossy accents 

Supplies used:

18168 Blossom Outline Die

16969 Quatrefoil Layer 1

16551 Stitched Ovals Stacked Dies

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6 set

18288 Just a Note Layered word Die

Copic Marker Colours:

G20, G21

Stay safe and happy

Peonies for Mothers Day

Hi There

I hope you are all well and staying safe.

Today I would like to share with you  my first project for Paper Rose Studio for May, a card I made for my Mum on mothers day.

I have used the Paper Rose Peonies 4 x 6 stamp  set create this card. 

To stamp out the flowers I have used Versamark ink and white embossing powder. 

This gives me a nice raised and crisp white outline.

The paperI have  used is a heavy weight watercolour paper.

I have used  paint from the Prima vintage pastels watercolour set in soft pinks and greens to colour the embossed flowers. 

The embossing is great as it creates little wells where you can puddle the paint without fear of loosing your white line detail.

My wording has been cut out in Neenah Ivory card and layered onto a strip of vellum.

The shadow, or base layer, for the word Mother's has been cut out of a medium dusky pink colour and layered under the vellum to soften it.

Supplies Used:

17148 Peonies 4 x 6 Stamp Set

17982 Ella's Garden Mother's Word die

18442 Happy Birthday Stitched Metal dies 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look

Embossed Ginko Flowers

Hello

Today I would like to share with you my third project this month for

Paper Rose Studio.

I am just besotted with the new Ginko flower dies that were recently released by Paper Rose 

and I have created another card using the Ginko Leaves Die.

Earlier this month I used botanical leaves to Gelli Plate backgrounds for a card, to create this card I have used another one of these background prints that I made.

To create the background I have printed several layers on my Gelli plate using blue, white and gold acrylic paint

. Some of these layers are primary prints and secondary prints. 

The soft colours on the leaves are layers of the new Distress Glaze embossing powders created by Ranger. These embossing powders create a translucent glaze effect, they are very sheer and glossy.

Thin layers are lighter in colour and very transparent. to create some depth in colour I embossed my leaves twice and you can still see the line detail in the die cut.

Supplies used:

Paper Rose:

18733 Ginko Leaves Metal Die

16951 Layered Hello Die Set

17304 Hello 4 x6  Stamp Set

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6

Paper Rose Black Dye Ink Pad

Distress Glazes:

Antique Linen 

Weathered Wood

Prima Art Alchemy Waxes:

Old Silver

Thank you for stopping by to have a look, if you go back to an earlier post this month I have photographed some of the backgrounds that I made using leaves from the garden to Gelli plate print.

the post was here for my Bloom Wildly card.

Until next time

For my card I have used Altenew watercolour Brush pens to colour my image.

happy Valentines Day

Hello there 

Happy Valentines day to you all.

Today is my turn to share something and as its Valentines day I would like to share a Valentines  card with you that I have made using Paper Rose Products.

The card is quite simple but the red heart is recessed into the textured background. 

To do this I have used the scribble Herat Die sets outer layer to cut out a heart window in my layered base.

The textured base, with the heart window cut in it, is raised up from the base card with craft foam.

The inside layer of the scribble heart set has been cut out a couple of times and layered up. 

I have coloured the heart in Copic Marker reds and golf foiled some of the pieces.

I have then cut out the love from the large layered love Die in black and white card.

The little dog is from the Animal Love stamp set and it too is coloured with Copic markers.

I have then cut it out using the corresponding die.

Supplies Used:

17832 Scribble Hearts 1

17382 Animal Love Clear Stamp Set

17383 Animal Love Die set

18463 Charlotte Decorative Background Die

Blossom greeting card in soft pink for Paper Rose

Hi Again, 

I am super excited to be on the Paper Rose Design team for another year.

 I am really looking forward to 2020 an I have so many ides and projects to share with you throughout the year.

For my card today I have used the gorgeous Blossom Outline die.

let's start with the background, I have used Nuvo Expanding Mousse in Grey Matter. 

You can heat this mousse up to distress and puff it up but I haven't really worried about doing that as I really just wanted the pewter, slightly metallic finish it has.

I have simply applied the mousse through a stencil, Moroccan Lattice  6 x 6 stencil, with a spatula and set aside to dry.

The flowers are cut out and glued onto card, I have then used Copic Markers to colour them.

After colouring I have then glued a second flower thin line die cut onto the first one giving it a white edge.

I have then fussy cut the flowers right to the edge of the raised line using scissors so that there is no white edge left behind.

I have then added a little sparkle with a Nuvo clear sparkle pen to give the flowers some impact.

I have then added a few grey sequins to the flower centres and my stamped and die cut sentiment.

Supplies Used: 

18168 Blossom Outline 

18138 moroccan Lattice 6 x  stencil

18255 Friend Layered Word die

17496 Poppies Stamp Set ( sentiment only)

lovely Magnolias in watercolour for Paper Rose

Hi I am back again for Paper Rose Studio.

Today I am sharing a set of cards using the Lovely Florals Magnolia stamp set.

I love so many of the beautiful floral stamps that Paper Rose have in the collection and I must say that the Magnolias in this set could possibly be my all time favourite. 

I really wanted soft tones for these cards so I stamped and heat embossed white embossing powder onto watercolour paper.

This gave me a raised image to watercolour onto leaving clean white lines instead of the traditional black outline.

I watercolored in the background first using the new Altenew watercolor brush markers from the Spring Garden set.

 For the background I used Evening Grey and Moss.

For the flowers I used Warm Sunshine,Autumn Blaze and Rubellite with a little bit of Moss for the stems.

Once I had a good background I started colouring the flowers in layers starting with my yellow, warm sunshine, and then adding layers of darker colours.

The flowers on this card are exactly the same as the one above. I used my MISTI stamp tool. This allowed me to stay a second card the same as the first, I have just turned it around and that gave the card a whole new look.

Once all the the cards had dried I added Black and white splatters using a fan brush, I did mask off the flowers to prevent them getting splattered.

Supplies used: 

18186 Lovely Florals Magnolias 4 x 6 stamp set

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6

17850 Nesting Rectangles 

18042 Love Large Layered

17304 Hello 4 x 6 Stamp Set

16951 Layered Hello Metal cutting Die 

Thank you for stopping in to have a look at my latest set of cards. 

Until next time.

Hi There 

I am back today to share with you another set of cards for Paper Rose Studio.

There are so many great new releases in the range to choose from, you can view them here.

Today I have used the Wooly Sorry stamp set as the theme for my cards.

These little sheep are just gorgeous and I have put them in groups by stamping and  masking the

images.

 This allows me to overlap them in groups to create some interest.

I have kept the cards really simple and stuck to a grey to black colour theme. The sheep are all coloured in with Copic markers.

For this card I have simply cut out my stamped sheep using a stitched Oval Die. I have layered this onto black card and the Victorian Oval lattice Frame Die. 

 I have Layered my top panel ,with the sheep on it , on foam tape just to give it some "pop".

For this card I have used the cable knit sweater stencil with a Versamark ink pad and heat embossed with a pastel green embossing powder.

This card is Just coloured in with Comic markers and matted onto black and white card.

I have used the Stitched Rectangles set in the A6 Australian Card size for some detail on my first layer.

Supplies Used:

18324 Wooly Sorry 4 x 4 Stamp set

:18204 Cable Knit Sweater 6 x 6 Stencil

16951 Layered Hello Cutting Die

16576 Stitched Rectangle Die Set

16551 Stitched Ovals Die Set

16578 Stitched Squares Die Set

16826 Victorian Oval Lattice Frame 

I really enjoyed creating this set of cards I hope you give this stamp set a go and remember it is a little more work to mask and stamp ( but only a little more ) the results are so worth it!

If you haven't seen all of our fantastic new releases over at Paper Rose you should stop into the store.

Paper Rose Gnomies

Hi There

I have a set of cards for you featuring the new Gnomies stamp set from Paper Rose studio.

I think this is such an adorable stamp set and so versatile. You can use these cute little guys for any occasion, I decided to go with a Christmas theme.

I have a new found love for prismacolor pencils on Neenah Desert Storm card and how the bright colours pop on the craft coloured base.

I love how these two came out in blue and Red.

I have added crease lines to their hats to add some texture as the hats are the largest spaces to colour I wanted them to be the main feature.

The little green dude came out really well too and the traditional Christmas red and greens look great together.

Supplies Used:

Hi There 

I hope you are having a super day.

Today It's my turn for Paper Rose Studio to share some creative ideas. 

I wanted some simple cards that could be used for almost any theme so

 I kept them very simple and monochromatic.

These cards all feature the Lots of Circles die set and various leaf die cuts 

in white and some in foils.

The backgrounds are made using Distress oxide inks and they are sponged and blended

together to create an hombre look in greys.

Some of the die cut shapes have been put through my Go-Press hot foil machine 

to create some contrast.

This card has gold foiled elements to add interest and contrast.

I love this one possibly the most, I have foiled some elements in silver and some in rose gold.

Supplies Used:

17265 Lots of Circles

16548 Stitched Circles
