Lovely Flowers Birthday Card

So I finally used the Lovely Flowers stamps, dies and stencils.  I've been wanting to use this set for a while, and now I want to make more cards with it!  Here is the card I made:

I used the following for the card:

  • Gina K Designs - Lovely Flowers - stamps, dies and stencil
  • Gina K Designs - Cobblestone stencil
  • Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
  • Gina K Designs - Grass Green, Fresh Asparagus, Light Spruce, Medium Spruce, Peach Bellini, Tangerine Twist, Soft Stone inks
  • Versamark
  • Stampendous - Detail Gold Embossing Powder
To make the card, I stamped the flower and sentiment images in Versamark, added the embossing powder and heat set.  Each of these was then cut using the corresponding dies.  The flower image was colored using the associated stencils, blending brushes and ink.  White cardstock was cut using Master Layouts 1, along with a mat.  The white cardstock was lightly stenciled using the Cobblestone stencil and Soft Stone ink. The card was then assembled, the mat added to the card base, followed by the cobblestone stenciled image, the flowers and the sentiment.

Lighthouse BIrthday Card

I love lighthouses.  I purchase stamps and dies that contain lighthouses.  So of course, when I saw the Hero Arts June 2023 kit I had to get it.  I also purchased the lighthouse die window die.  And here is a birthday card made with the kit and die:

I use the following for the card:

  • Hero Arts June 2023 Kit 
  • Hero Arts - Lighthouse Window Fancy Die
  • Gina K - Black Onyx, Powder Blue, Wild Dandelion, Ocean Mist, Turquoise Sea Inks
  • Simon Says Stamp - Clouds for Days Stencil
To make the card, I stamped the sun, water and birds using the stamps from the Hero Arts 2023 Kit.  The clouds were stenciled above the water line.  The Lighthouse Window die was used to cut a piece of black cardstock.  The image was then placed behind this piece, and the sentiment added.  The entire piece was added to an A2 card base to complete the card.
