Postage Daisies

2 Comments

Hi all. Vera here. Am popping in to share a duo I made using the new Postage Daisies Layering Stencil set.

First, I die cut the postage block using Postage Party die. Since daisies always so colorful, I wanted to make colorful daisies for my postage. I simply use scrap paper to block the next postage block to prevent color bleeding. However I am not too concern if any color hit the next block a little bit. For my card above I used Soft Orchid, Orchid Crush, Deep Peony, Cali Blue, Cobalt Breeze, Beach Blondie, Amber Citrine, Spiced Chai & Spring Salad. Then I added the postage mark using Not A Bill set and finish with sentiments from Many Banners set.

I love the way the 1st card turned out, so I decided to make another one and this time I changed the color a bit and this time I used Soft Orchid, Orchid Crush, Deep Peony, Soft Amethyst, Iris Blooms, Stormy Sea, Spiced Chai & Spring Salad.

I thought of making more, but I wasn’t in my super achiever mode. Hah! So, there you go, 2 pretty quick cards. This is why I love stencil! It helps speed up my card making time. I hope in my own little way today’s post inspire you to get creative & spend some time creating. Cheers….

Birthday Dahlias Postage

3 Comments

Hi friends. Happy leap year! To those who has a birthday today, I hope you get to celebrate your special day in a special way. Vera here today to showcase combination of new and previously released sets.

For my card I am using the new Postage Part Die set and Coming Up Dahlias stamp & Climbing Dahlias Layering Stencil set.

To start, I die cut the postage background and then stamped the dahlia image on it using Caviar ink. Then using the layering stencil colored the flower with Dolled Up, Grand Fuchsia, Iris Blooms and Soft Garden. Adhere the postage panel to card base. Then, I stamped some more details from Not A Bill set and for the sentiment I used sentiment from Postage Sentiments set. Finished by adding some mix size Diamond gem rhinestones.

I feel like I don’t use purple too often, but am quite happy with the way this card turned out. I guess the fuchsia blended with purple make great combination and the green add freshness to the whole design. I hope you love our anniversary release and as always thank you for all your support for The Ton throughout the years. May your weekend be a great one. Cheers….
