A Flowering Bunch Projects

So I needed to make some Thank You cards for my daughter's two fabulous teachers.

I decided that I wanted to do a heat embossed resist with watercolors.

This is what I came up with using A Flowering Bunch (the June SOTM), peerless watercolor papers and white heat embossing powder.

I had so much fun with this stamp set and heat embossing that I made another card.

Instead of watercoloring, I used my mists and misted the heat embossing.

It's a journaling card for an upcoming Project Life layout.

 Products Used (CTMH unless stated):

A Flowering Bunch stamp set (June SOTM)

White Daisy/Black Cardstock

One More Lifted from Class using CTMH Products

One more card lifted from Jennifer McGuire, but made with CTMH product.

This card is fun because you combine colors.

Once again, I used my leaf stamp.

I stamped in Ruby and Lagoon (at top and bottom).

I then filled in the sides with Honey and Pear on left side and Indian Corn Blue and Smokey Plum on the other (working around the card).

I then went back in and stamped each color between two colors.

(Ruby with Honey stamped over it, Honey with Pear stamped over it, etc.)

At the same time, I stamped over each original color to make it more vibrant.

So, for example, my orange is really Honey and Ruby combined.

Finally, I added the sentiment and the black circle to the center, matted on black and then pop dotted onto my white card base.

This was a fun card to make.

If you are local, look for it to be a card class coming soon.

Products used (all CTMH):

Inks: Ruby, Honey, Pear, Lagoon, Indian Corn Blue, Smokey Plum and Black

Stamps (retired): Harvest Happiness and A Little Everything (any leaf and sentiment would work)

Paper: Black, White Daisy

Non-CTMH: Ephiphany Shape setter and cap

Another Lifted Card using CTMH Products

This technique was shown in class by Cristina Kowalczyk

and I lifted her card and used CTMH product to recreate it for my daughter's teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day.

I did color the Studio Calico vellum with CTMH alcohol markers.

I then added the strips to my card base and overlapped them, making additional colors.

Product Used (all CTMH unless noted):

Paper: Kraft, White Daisy, Studio Calico vellum

Stamps: A Little Everything (retired)

Inks: Black Pigment 

Sequins is from Cartwright's

Glue dots to attach the sequins

Dream Pop-PL style

I used the Dream Pop paper for my PL Week 15 layout.

I also used the Snap Alphabet stickers and some SC printables.

Other embellies include misc. embellishments from different SC kits, some Silhouette print and cuts and sequins.  Also used a Pebbles Love You More card for the top right journaling card.

I did 3 different PL challenges from the Studio Calico blog on this layout.

#1: used digital elements (in the case, I printed them out and added them to my layout in multiple spots)

#2: used a pocket to hold sequins (found in bottom right of my 2nd page with internet photo of our favorite sports team earning division championship)

#3: using transparent item (my pocket on top right holds photo of my daughter and sequins.  I sewed the pocket shut after adding element to other side for the following weeks layout)

One photo is covered due to being a picture of my kid with a friend.

(covered to protect privacy of friend).

Hope you enjoy my peek at Dream Pop.  

It can definitely be used in multiple ways (PL, scrapbooking and cardmaking)
