Lovely Magnolias for Paper Rose Studio



Hi There


Today's card is my third project this month for Paper Rose studio.

My card today features the beautiful Magnolia Clear Stamp set.










To create this card I have stamped out on watercolour paper using Ink 3 fade out ink
this gives me a very faint outline for watercoloring that will fade away later.
I have used my Misti stamping tool to position the sections of the stamp set to create a sprig of flowers.








I have used Altenew watercolour brush pens to do all my watercoloring using a water brush to 
blend out the colours and working in layers.





supplies used:

18186 Lovely Florals Magnolia 4 x 6 Stamp set
18144 Sunshine 4 x 4 words stamp set
17463 Sunshine Layered Die
16576 Stitched Rectangles Stacking Die Set


Thanks for stopping by

Until next time

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
18042 Love large Layered

Leafy Circle with alcohol ink background card




Hi there,


Today I would like to share a card with you that I have created for Paper Rose Studio.

I have used the Leafy Circle die from the Ella's Garden series.




To create the background I have used bright colours in the PaperMill Alcohol inks, 
Turquoise and Emerald on Yupo paper.

The Leafy circle die has been cut out of plain white card twice.
One die cut is for the base of the card, and the second one that I cut out I glued under the first turning it around until I was happy with the placement of the leaves. 

I have then trimmed away the excess.




I did was worked out where I needed to cut out the circle so that the leaves in my first layer will show through.
The sentiment background layer is cut out of the left over pieces I from the window created by the leaves.






Supplies Used: 
17964 Ella's Garden Leafy circle Die
18279 Greetings Layered Word Die
16548 Stitched Circles Die

Hi again

It's my turn on the blog for Bizzy Becs 
and today and I would like to share a card with you.

I wanted to create a card that looked like floral wallpaper and I used the gorgeous Penny Black Delicate Beauty floral stamp to create that effect.




My card was made by stamping the flowers onto blending card using Mimento Tuxedo black ink and copic coloured. I kept the colours crisp and bright.

The background of my card is also coloured with copic markers on light BG series colours.



I have heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder but the main sentiment is Die Cut out.


Supplies Used:

Sue Wilson Dies- You are simply the best ( by request)
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips Background
Taylored Expressions- Simple Strips Die


I hope you all had a wonderful Australia Day long weekend and got some crafting time in.

Triptych Tag Card




Hi there
Today I have a mixed media project to share with you.

I have used the gorgeous new Stitched Tag Die set to create a three panel card.

To create some texture to the tags I have cut panels from the new decorative background dies and cut the with the tag die too. This layer is then glued onto the base using matt gel.

Once dry I have added a layer of gesso and gold crackle medium. 



Once all the layers have dried I have painted the tags with acrylic paint I have also added really small art stones for more texture. 



I have glued all 3 Tags onto a piece of craft card leaving a gap between each one. I have also backed each of them with another tag die cut to hide this panel. once dry I have pained in the visible pieces with gold acrylic paint and scored each piece so that the tags concertina to create the triptych panel.



The Blossoms from the Lovely florals Blossom stamp set are stamped onto Neenah card with Mimento tuxedo black ink and coloured with copic markers
I have fussy cut them out with scissors and layered them onto the panels with Matt medium.




Details showing all the textures and layers.


The birds are cut out of craft card and then a second time with scraps of scrapbooking paper.
I have glued the two layers together and inked around the edges.




The sentiments are from the Blossom stamp set and just cut out into strips. 







Supplies used:

18412 Stitched Tags Die set

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)


Thanks for stopping by,

Until next time
