Loveliest Tree Birthday

Most of the cards I make these days are pretty quick and easy, and this one definitely ticks that box. I think the best way to make a simple card is to let the DSP do the heavy lifting. That is definitely the case here - the gorgeous watercolour background that looks hand-painted is a piece of Thoughtful Journey 6"x6" DSP.

I added some dies from the Loveliest Tree bundle. I kept them crisp and white rather than adding any colour. The Loveliest Tree stamp set also contains some beautiful sentiments. I decided to make this a 'Happy Birthday' card, but really it could work for any occasion. I used a piece of Wild Wheat behind my DSP, just to frame it a little, and tie in with the sentiment.  

Thanks for visiting!

Loveliest Tree Thank You

For this card, I decided to use the tree dies in the Loveliest Tree bundle, rather than the tree stamps. The only stamp I've used is the 'Thank You' sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set.   

I punched a hole in a piece of the Thoughtful Journey 6"x6" DSP to frame my tree. I cut the tree out of Basic White cardstock, and used a sponge to add some colour in Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Peach Pie and Wild Wheat - the same colours in the DSP. I used a piece of Wild Wheat behind it too. 

Have a great day!

Loveliest Tree Sympathy

Anyone who has been around Stampin' Up! for a while would remember the classic Lovely as a Tree stamp set. The new Loveliest Tree bundle is an homage to that set, in a similar style but it also contains some lovely (and very useful) sentiments, and co-ordinating dies too. I've used the sympathy one on my card today. I think this is a great set for 'thinking of you' type cards.

I've used the Thoughtful Journey 6"x6" DSP in the background, which also gave me my colour scheme - Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Peach Pie and Wild Wheat. I used a piece of Wild Wheat behind it too. I love this new neutral shade. I framed my tree on a circle cut using the Spotlight on Nature dies. These circles have beautiful detailed borders.

Thanks for stopping by!

Painted Lavender Set

The patterns and colours in the Perennial Lavender DSP inspired this set of cards. The co-ordinating Painted Lavender stamp set takes centre stage, and the Perennial Postage dies frame the images. 

I used the same layout for all 3 of my cards, but they all look quite different, just by making a few small changes.

Which one is your favourite?

Painted Lavender Wishes

The patterns and colours in the Perennial Lavender DSP are just so pretty. If you're a fan of purple shades, you need to get your hands on this one! I've chosen some of the plainer pieces so that the co-ordinating Painted Lavender stamp set can take centre stage. 

You may have noticed that I used the same layout for all 3 of my cards this week, but by simply changing the paper patterns and stamped images, you can achieve quite a different look. It's a good trick to have up your sleeve when you want to make multiple cards.

You can see everything I used to create this card listed below.

Marvellous Painted Lavender

This is my second Painted Lavender card. I've taken my colours from the beautiful Perennial Lavender DSP - Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut out my stamped image. 

Now I just need to find a 'marvelous' person to send this card to....luckily I know a few!
