Care 2 Stamp - Bella on bauble

Hi everyone,

This is my first week for Care 2 Stamp, although naughty me was meant to have a card ready a few weeks ago, but with the kids off school life has been chaotic!

Anyway i thought i would do a Christmas card for you, just an excuse to use this gorgeous Wild Rose Studio Bella on a Bauble really haha.

I used Wild Rose Studio Bella paper.
I thought the green of the bauble really set it off so i used a ribbon to match with little stars on it, i also added some tiny star gems

The doily was in my stash.  

Well thanks for looking at my first creation for Care 2 Stamp, see you soon.

Quick and Easy Wild Rose Studio Bella!

I am so excited to be doing this post tonight!  In collaboration with Handy Hippo, the online craft store, this is my first step by step card tutorial!

 The idea is, i make a card taking photos at different points and this will give you inspiration and help should you need it!

I am going to show you how to make the above card, so you will need:

6" Scalloped Square Card

Wild Rose Studio Bella With Mum Clear Stamp

Wild Rose Studio 6 x 6 Bella Paper Pad

Pale Pink Ribbon

3 Shades of co-ordinating card stock 

Paper Flowers 

Gems

So here goes:

First stamp out the image and colour with promarkers.

Set aside.

Take a piece of the darkest card stock (i used Cherry) and cut to 13.5 cm (5 1/4") square

Take a piece of balloon paper and cut to 13cm square

Stick the 2 together and then to a 6 x 6" scalloped card blank

Next, take the middle shade of card stock and cut to 8cm x 12cm (3 1/4" x 4 1/2") 

Take piece of the plainer paper from the paper pad and cut to 7.5cm x 11.5cm

Mount the 2 together.

Next take a piece of pale pink ribbon and put a strip down the centre and attach at the back

Then stick this to the card, as above.

Next make a bow and attach to the top of the ribbon.

Next, cut the image into a square and mount onto the lightest cardstock

I used an Xcut nesting die here, but cutting with a trimmer or guillotine would work just as well.

Take 3 pale pink paper flowers and place in the bottom left corner, place a gem in the centre of each one

Last step is to add 3 gems to the top right corner.

And here is the finished card! I always try to leave enough room on my cards to add a sentiment and this is usually personalised to the recipient.  In this case i would put the sentiment in the bottom right corner.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and maybe got some inspiration from it!

My mum's Mother's Day Card

Hi everyone, i am slowly getting over the torn muscle in my shoulder, thanks to painkillers and i will be starting Physiotherapy soon, why is it always the hand you write with?  Anyway i have a card to share with you today.

This is the card i made for my mum for mother's day last weekend.  It is using the new Wild Rose Studio range, stamp and paper Bella.  How cute are these new stamps?  I coloured with promarkers.  The little butterfly is embellished with Liquid Pearls.  The ribbon is from Anita's.  The butterfly is punched using Tonic Studios butterfly punch.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
