Feeling sentimental

Next set were made using the set feeling sentimental. the first three are larger size cards (5 x 7 inch) with a scrapbook feel overlapping layers of plain and patterned papers are added with accents. Most of the patterned papers have come out of stampin up dsp paper stacks these are brill little  4.5 x 6.5 inch books of patterned paper and are great for card making and easier to work with that 12 x12 inch sheets.

The first one features the ferris wheel stamp. bordered with blue card and placed on to some patterned paper and a plain colored card which has been run though an embossing folder to give it texture. the sentiment is placed on a couple of punched pieces a touch of ink has been added to the edges and raised up on foam pads.

The second on features the penny farthing stamp which is bordered with a light brown and placed on to two pieces of patterned paper and strip of red. the sentiment it stamped on to the card in one corner and two sparkles in an in-keeping color are added to the opposite corner.

The last of the larger size cards features the telephone box stamp. This is bordered in red. After adding a couple of sparkles to the last card this one goes abit further with a strip of glitter card in a warm rich gold is added down one side with strips of patterned paper tucked under and over lapped to make a backing for the sentiment. As you may be realizing I'm loving the banner look at the moment and have used it lots on cards I'm making. These ones were created by placing just the end of my paper in the shaped end of my banner blast punch.

Using this set I also made some cards in the A6 size. I've done two for each stamp starting with the phone box. I put a strip of patterned paper across the card and added stamps from the pretty petites set. these are really cute mini label shaped stamps with fun sentiments on. I thought one saying hello was cool since its a phone box and I like that it works well in non red too.

For the two ferris wheel ones it has the same layout as the phone box ones I like the colors on blue and red one and think the than-you banner on the green one really fits with the fairground look.

The penny farthing stamp comes out wider than the other two so I changed the strip of patterned paper to be a vertical one and stamps across the bottom. I found the newer style stampin up ink pads which I used for the brown card are juicer and the stamps need a slightly lighter touch to keep the defined detail to the stamp.






I like this set as they make nice cards which can be suitable for men which are sometimes abit more tricky to do and the colors used here are nice as we head in to the autumn and winter seasons.
