In Summer the song sings itself...

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here sharing a card using one of the brandnew Quietfire Design stamp sets.
For my card I used the set "Buy it all seasons" which is a set of 4 stamps, for each season one stamp-sentiment!
Since it's getting summer I used the summer sentiment for my card.
I love the combination of 2 different calligraphic handwritings in one stamp!

Used materials:

• Quietfire Design: Buy it all Seasons (#6255-1) (set of 4 stamps)
• Spellbinders: die-templates
• Archival ink: Jet Black
• 3D foam squares (Scrapbook Adhesives)
• cardstock: gold, white, salmon and black patterend
• self-adhesive Pearls (soft pink)
• bone folder

The card is really simple to make: simply add 3D foam squares behind the die-cut and glue upon the card base. Then carefully put the stamped label diecut onto the card and glue upon also using 3D foam squares....that's all!

Hope to have brought you some creative inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by and wishing yu happy crafting

Hugs from Holland,

Yvonne

Friendship and Possibilities to share

Hi Everyone and welcome to the blog on this wonderful Wednesday.  Today i

have 2 cards to share with you using the new release of stamps. Each of the stamps

has such gorgeous lines and the sentiments are just perfect.

Here are the links to the new stamps that i used:

"Friendship isn't a Big Thing"

"I dwell in Possibility"

For my friendship card i used the new Prima Garden Fable 6x6 paper pad along

with some matching pink, purple and ivory cardstock for the mats and base.

I also used Spellbinders Contemporary Strip, Flutters for the butterflies and the

pierced ovals to stamp the sentiment on.  The sheer ribbon is from May Arts and 

the ink is Rosebud Dew Drop ink from Tsukineko.  I really love the bright 

colors and the butterfly goes with the serifs in the script so well.

And for my second card i had to play with the new Becca Feeken dies

  and i created a pocket with them using the base die and i put the corner
 in the center with a bow on it.  The papers for this card are from Prima also.
 The set is called Debutante and it too has beautiful florals

and rich colors that are perfect for Quietfire stamps.  The die i used is called

Arched Elegance Pocket and i stamped with Smokey Grey Versafine ink to

match the papers.  The cream ribbon is from May Arts and i used my favorite

adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives that you can buy online in the shop.

Thanks so much for stopping over and hope you got inspired and will

get a few of the new stamps to create something fun too.

Blog Hop! Courage & Scrapbook Adhesives

Welcome everyone to the first day of our Blog hop with

Scrapbook Adhesives, makers of quality and creative adhesives.

 Each day we will be sharing lots of creative ideas using our beautiful

Quietfire Stamps and products and the fabulous products

from Scrapbook Adhesives to put them all together. Be sure and

check back each day for a chance to win prizes but now it's time

to relax and grab a cup of coffee or tea and lets get our craft on...

Today I am sharing a card and a clipboard that i created for my 

scrapbook room so that i can jot down important things to 

remember each day and the card is to give to a friend :) I used the 

Courage doesn't always Roar stamp set and split it by using

one on each of my pink flowery projects.  First let me share
all the details of how to make my card.

For my card i used 2 new dies available on Quietfire from
Spellbinders.  They are called Majestic Circles and a
new set of borders called A2 Scalloped Borders 2.  I also used
Classic Scalloped circles to layer and make the medallion that
i stamped the beautiful sentiment on.  I tried to keep it really
vintage looking so i inked around the edges of the card and
used a nice soft brown ink to stamp my sentiment with. To put
it all together to make it stay really well i used some of my
favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives.  I used the
Permanent tape runner, Glue dots for the flowers,
  3D Foam squares to pop up the medallion and the
dotted tape runner for the more intricate parts on the borders.
That way the glue only stays on the paper and borders stick
really, really well. I really love their products and use them all
the time in all my projects and even when i teach.

Here you can see all the layers and the beautiful sentiment with
all the textures in the embossed papers and the flowers on the top.

My next project is a decorated clipboard that i picked up from
Staples to clip on my daily "To Do" lists.  Yep i am one of
those folks who need to be crazy organized and it really helps.
And now i have a pretty clipboard to post them on. I used the
other stamp in the set that says "Never Give Up" to remind me
daily that sometimes life is tough and just have to muttle through
it and keep going with a smile and a happy heart!!

 I wanted to keep it simple so i layered pieces of paper from a Glitz
6x6 pad and used those same borders that I used on my card to make
the layers. I glued them down with my Permanent tape runner 
and then sanded a little around all the edges and inked them too.
Then i went in my stash and grabed all the flowers i could to match
and even made a few extras with the Bitty Blossoms die set
that you can get from Quietfire.  These go together really quick if you
use a glue dot at the bottom of each to adhere the petals.  And
i added some greenery and these beautiful die cuts of feathers
in matching paper to either of the sides. The Feathers die  is also
a new die set that you can get and I am finding lots of uses for it.

Here is a a closeup of the stamp and it even went perfect
with the stickers that say inspire and shine.  I really like
the ways this came out and it didn't take long at all.
