I am back and I have some cards i made recently to share with you.
Todays cards are two Mothers day cards. Both of them use Karen burniston flower pot pop up card (i have the Elizabeth craft designs die set, but she has re-released this set so it is available again!) Some of the cards use the original flower that was from the Elizabeth craft designs set and some use the flowers from the re-release, the flower, leaves and bee (which is what is different between the new set and the retired set) are available as a seperate set as well so that those people who bought the original dont need to buy the whole set again!
Both of the cards start with a 5 x 6 inch white side fold card base. To make the card base start with a rectangle that is 10 x 6 inches and score at 5 inches.
On the front of the first card I have used an altenew stamp layering set called Build a flower- Rose. I made a number of these cards in 4 different colours using inks from altenew for the rose. I used a technique called masking so that the leaves look like they are behind the rose. The video at the end from Jennifer Mcguire makes a different card using the same stamp set and shows you how to do masking if you have never seen it before. I used masking paper for this technique.
I also used the Happy Happy Happy set from lawn fawn to stamp Happy Mother's Day on the front of the card using versafine onyx black ink. Then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
The inside of the first design also uses the flower turnabout stamp from concord and 9th both on the flower pot itself and on the edges as well. I used a combination of lawn fawn, hero arts, and distress Oxide inks for the turnabout stamp.
I also used the Elizabeth craft designs- karen burniston die called paris edges on the inside of the card (retired)
I used the concord and 9th turnabout stamp and once i had stamped it out with 4 colours plus the leaves I cut this piece into half making sure it was 6 inches long (small amount of white on edge) I placed this on the edge of the card on each side of the card.
This is a special stamp because you can use up to 4 colours of ink for the flowers plus green for the leaves with the same stamp. Its quite easy to use once you get the hang of it especially if you have a MISTI tool. I recently got given a MISTI as a present and it is the best tool i have for stamping and i highly recommend it! There is a video at the end showing how to use the turnabout stamp from concord and 9th in case you have never used this type of stamp before.
I also cut a sizzix label die in white cardstock and used it as a place for the recipient to write their message.
I made 4 of these cards with the rose on the front in Teal (teal and blues on inside), Blue (purple on inside), red and yellow. I use Nuvo drops om the front of each of the card
I put a plain coloured rectangle to cover the holes made by the pop up die on the back of the card.
At the end of this post i will put some links of some videos showing how to use the altenew and concord and 9th stamps and how to use the die set (from these companies).

Stamps Lawn fawn happy Happy Happy Altenew - Layering stamp set Build a flower-rose, Concord and 9th flower turnabout stamp
Inks Altenew -I used 5 sets from altenew (cubes) - Summer afternoon (yellow card), Red Sunset (red card), sea shore (teal), deep blue seas (blue), tropical forest (green for leaves) On the inside I used various lawn fawn hero arts and distress Oxide inks for the turnabout stamp - unfortunately I did not write down the exact colours used but really any dye inks/distress oxide will work for this.
Paper White 270 gsm/100 pound Teal, red,
other Versafine Onyx black ink, clear embossing powder, Nuvo drops, MISTI
For the second design i used an A4 rose embossing folder by crafters companion which came with my die machine (cut n boss) and I embossed a 5 x 6 piece of white cardstock (270gsm/100 pound) then i used pink and blue gelatos to colour in the roses.
On the inside I used the same flower pot pop up die set as the first card but instead of the concord and 9th stamp I used pink and blue distress inks and I stencilled a couple of pieces of white cardstock using the Elizabeth craft designs - karen burniston flower stencil (retired). I cut two rectangle pieces to put down the edge of each side of the carcd I still used the paris edges die the same as above.I also die cut the layering pieces from the pop up set from the stencilled cardstock and stuck it on the flower pot.
As above i die cut a white sizzix label for somewhere to write the message.
I put a plain coloured rectangle to cover the holes made by the pop up die on the back of the card.
