Peaceful Moments

Ornate Garden 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder

August 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Hello my friends!

I’m delving into safe stamping with my stampin’ friends again, from a distance of course! And here is my latest project with them –

Four cards from one 6 x 6 sheet of Designer Series Paper! Here is the way I cut the pieces for a visual –I cut four 3 x 3 squares, then each was cut –

one into 1″ x 3″ strips
one into 1 1/2″ x 3″
one into 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ squares
and the last one was for the Heart Punch Pack or whatever you want to create with the last square

Here is each card by itself –

This one has 1 1/2″ x 3″ Designer Series Paper strips.

I used the Heart Punch Pack for this one.

Simple 1″ x 3″ strips. And, this one is my favorite!

These are the 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ strips.

All are on a base of 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. I decided to make them all the same size, however some could have been trimmed down. The sentiment strip is 1″ x 3″.

For all the cards, I used the different sentiments from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. These very quick and easy to put together! I think it took longer to make the cuts then to assemble them!

If you have any questions, let me know!

With Deepest Sympathy

May 7, 2020 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest weekly challenge –

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card.

I want to be very subtle in what I created with these colors. I chose to use the Peaceful Poppies Elements, ink pads, and Aqua Painters –

To color the flowers, I loaded up ink in the lid of the ink pad by smooshing it. A little more difficult with these new pads. I opened it and touched a wet Aqua Painter in the ink and colored the flowers and leaves.

Let them dry. Then, I placed them on a vellum swirly circle from the Painted Labels Dies.

I added that to the card and stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments below it.

Pretty quick design and not over done. Sympathy cards need to be just that.

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Spring Wedding

March 6, 2020 · 2 Comments

Happy Friday! Time to share some great designs with my Blogging Friends –Our theme this month is Spring Wedding!

I was inspired by this gorgeous new Designer Series Paper, Flowering Foils for this beauty –

This new paper is a new *Sale-a-bration option! Wahoo!

I used a generous piece on a Silver Foil-Edged Card.

I wanted to highlight the copper in the paper so I used Copper Foil and the Detailed Bands Dies for the intricate cut out behind the sentiment. The sentiment is also cut using a die, the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Simple. Elegant.

This is a very quick and easy card, but oh, so, stunning in person!

Please check out the others on our hop today. I’m sure you’ll be inspired!
