Square card – Kenny's Cards

I always love the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hops and I\’ve made this bright cheery card for their Spring/Summer Blog Hop.

I wanted to do a springy wreath so I went through my stamp sets looking for images that would work for my idea.

I started by dry embossing the background and then I die cut a circle for the sentiment area. The \”quilted\” panel was attached to the card base with foam tape so there would be nice dimension. I stamped, Copic colored and die cut a bunch of images and then started working on my layout. When I had the wreath the way I wanted, I took a picture with my phone so I could glue everything the same way.

Supplies:

Altenew Tea Time stamps and dies

Avery Elle Festive Wreath stamps and dies

Photoplay Thinking of you stamps and dies

Sunny Studio Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder

Jillibean \”Enjoy\” sentiment (heat embossed) stamp and die

I am so pleased that you stopped by! Pop on over to the blog hop and see all the creative cards.

I bought the Gina K Wreath Builder template a while back and thought it would be fun to use for a valentine. Instead of rotating an 1/8th of a turn each time, I skipped and did quarter turns. I started by stamping the cute birds from Photoplay Thinking of You. Then, in the areas in between the birds, I used the template again and stamped hearts and butterflies from a stamp set I received for Christmas (Inkblot Shop This & That). This card is for my mother-in-law and she loves birds and butterflies.

After coloring with Copic markers, I was very happy with the panel, but I wondered how it would look with the four corners clipped. I was a bit nervous but went ahead and loved the octagonal result. I mounted on a square 4\” x 4\” hot pink card base. I wanted a vintage feel like the small valentines we used to exchange as kids.

Copic colors used: RV 4, RV 23, Y06, Y08, R35 and BG11.

I am entering my valentine in the following challenges:
