Oak tree brushos card

The Stampin' Up! Lovely As A Tree stamp set is a classic set which doesn't date. I thought I'd use it along with the Brusho colour crystals to create this card.

SU Lovely As A Tree card by Angela Lovel, AngelasPaperArts.blogspot.com.au

I used the oak leaf in the set to randomly stamp over the card base. The focal image was stamped in StazOn black ink and then watercoloured using the Brusho crystals and an Aqua Painter. The sentiment is stamped onto an excess piece of the Brusho watercoloured paper before being adhered onto the card. It's a very simple card, but the Brusho colour really 'pops' off the card.

If you like this card, all products used are listed below and available from my online shop. I also conduct papercrafting classes each month - please contact me for further details if you live in Melbourne, Australia. Private classes for you and your friends can also be arranged for local crafters.

Lovely as a tree reflection card

One of the techniques I enjoy doing is the mirror aka reverse or reflection technique. Here's the card I made using this technique and which features the Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree stamp set. The sentiment on this card could easily be changed to become a Father's Day card.

I used the Stamparatus and Silicone craft sheet to perform the mirror technique by stamping the trees in Memento Tuxedo Black. I then used the sponging technique to add colour to the scene and to make it look like the trees were 'reflecting' on a pond.

The image was then layered onto Pumpkin Pie card stock and adhered to a Very Vanilla base which had been embossed with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped and diecut using the Petals & More stamp and thinlits bundle.

Artist Trading Cards

I belong to a papercrafting group that swap ATCs - Artist Trading Cards. We've been swapping ATCs for many years and I enjoy creating this crafty project every second month. It doesn't take a lot of time and I use the opportunity to explore new techniques whenever I can. For anyone unfamiliar with ATCs, it's a bit like the footy or baseball swap cards. It's a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5". There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to keep to the measurements and any criteria provided then the rest is up to your imagination.

This swap's criteria was 'Sparkling Snowflakes' - we needed to include something representing coolness and some sparkle. Here's what I made:

Group picture of the 8 versions I needed to make to swap with the other participants.

I did use some retired Stampin' Up! stamps plus included some new items too which are listed below. The 'Sparkle' title comes from a brand new hostess only stamp set called 'Good Greetings'. This stamp set can be yours for free starting 28 August with any qualifying order or workshop over $300 (excluding shipping).

Just a reminder that the fantastic deal on the Big Shot machine where you get a free bundled stamp set and matching framelits set too finishes on 31 August.
