Sending All My Love Floral Card

Hi everyone, Taheerah here wishing you a happy Thursday!

Sometimes, Clean And Simple is best, particularly when you want the recipient to focus more on the sentiment behind a design rather than being distracted by many shiny things (some literal, some metaphorical).

After my last card featured the Reverse Confetti Something Wonderful stamp set as a subtle background detail, I decided this time to have the stamp be the star of the show, albeit with a soft and subtle way itself:

Pretty, right? The subtlety of this design really lets the sentiment stand out!

I started by stamping the floral spray in the bottom corner of my card and heat embossing it with white embossing powder. I then softly blended some ink over the design to help bring it out.

For some added glam I stamped the spray again onto vellum and heat embossed with a sparkly metallic embossing powder. I trimmed out the image and adhered to my card using dimensional glue gel. The sentiment from the Mama Elephant Occasional Labels stamp set and some Nuvo Drops finished everything off perfectly!

I'd love to hear what you think of this card. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Floral Hello Card

Hi everyone, Taheerah here wishing you a happy Thursday!

I love the timelessness of vintage items. Whether it's a treasured trinket or heirloom jewellery, a retro telephone or iconic typewriter, or classic couture or a faded print... there's just something so magical about holding in your hands an item with history.

It was with all that nostalgia that I decided to make a more vintage style card for today! And in keeping with the vintage theme, I couldn't think of anything better to incorporate than florals. It also gave me a chance to pull out the Altenew Flower Arrangement stamp set and put it through its paces:

Stunning, right?! I couldn't be more thrilled with how this turned out!!

I started by stamping the Reverse Confetti Something Wonderful stamp set onto my card base and heat embossing it with white embossing powder. I blended a couple of Distress Inks over it to bring out the design, then added a few different layer of patterned paper and vellum and some sparkly gold ribbon to build up the look.

Then it came to the time to create my flowers! I pulled out some of the Altenew inks and got to work, combining them with some other inks in my stash! I added thin lines of adhesive to the leaves and added some gold glitter for added glam!

I fussy cut my florals then adhered them in place with dimensional glue gel for lots of custom dimension! The sentiment from the Flower Arrangement set worked perfectly to finish off the design!

Check out all that dimension! Awesome!!

I'd love to hear what you think of this card. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!
