I have another Kiwi Christmas card to share with you today that features a gorgeous Tui using a stamp from Montarga Rubber Stamps. The Tui looks black but the colours when up close are purple/blue, green and bronze iridescent colours but as I am still learning about Copic markers I have stuck to blues and purple colours. You can find more on the Tui here.

I have used a range of Heartfelt Creations, Amazing Paper Grace and Honey Bee Stamps products to make this card and I was very happy with the result. I love how the tui on the flax branch just organically rises up from the poinsettia and Christmas foliage. I have die cut the leaf image from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cinch and Go Flowers in silver to represent the silver fern and make it uniquely New Zealand.

I have been having so much fun making New Zealand themed Christmas cards using a wide range of different products and I am so happy with how they turned out. My card today features the New Zealand native bird the Fantail or the Piwakwaka in Te Reo. This is a very cute little bird and we have a lot around where I live by native bush and they are almost impossible to photograph as they are always flitting around without stopping. You can find out more about the birds here. This is another stamp that I purchased from Montarga Rubber Stamps in Christchurch which I have coloured with Copic Markers. I thinks this card was my favourite as I just loved how all the colours came together.

Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus Trellis Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I have a very quick and easy card to share with you today that is a different take on Bibiana’s trellis cards. Rather than cutting strips to make the trellis I have made this card using the fabulous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Barn Wood Fence Honey Cuts to make the trellis. I then make some dianthus using the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus Honey Cuts and added the chickadee from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Winter Birds Honey Cuts. I finished off the card with a sentiment from Pink Fresh Studios – Wonderful Sentiments. This was so quick and easy to do and looked gorgeous.

My Project

For my project I cut a piece of white cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4 out of white cardstock and then scored at 5 1/2″ along the long side and folded the card in half. I then die cut the fence out of white cardstock and used this as a guide to trim the front of the card to fit the gate. The gate was then adhere at the top to the card front flap. I finished the gate by adding the crossbars to the gate.

The flowers were die cut from white cardstock and coloured with Pink Diamond ink and assembled according to the instructions that came with the die set. I die cut the leaves and base of the flowers out of green cardstock and added some Mowed Lawn ink for some more depth to the leaves. The flowers and extra leaves were then assembled.

I die cut the bird out of light grey, black and white cardstocks. I added some Lemon Whip and Sunshine inks to the main body of the bird before assembling it according to the instructions with the die set. I then played around with the placement of the flowers and bird before using some Press and Seal to then add to the front of the card.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studios – Wonderful Sentiments in Obsidian Pigment ink and die cut it with the coordinating die and adhered it to the front of the card as shown.

Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Wedding Bells

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have just purchased the beautiful Honey Bee Stamps: Layering Holiday Bells Honey Cuts and started off making a white and gold Christmas card. But I ended up going in a totally different direction in the end and made a wedding card with a bouquet of Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers and leaves. Even though it looks totally different from what I initially imagined I am very happy with the results and I hope you like it too.

My Project.

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of gold card 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and added it to the front of the card. I die cut a Delicate Daisy Cover Plate Base and Top out of white cardstock and layered them together before adding them to the front of the card.

I die cut an oval using the Amaizng Paper Grace Elegant Twist Oval dies out of gold cardstock and then die cut one oval using the outer and inner decorative twist dies out of white cardstock and added it to the gold base. I then die cut two decorative twist oval frames out of white cardstock and added it to the base oval which was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut the bells from the Honey Bee Stamps: Layering Holiday Bells Honey Cuts out of white and gold cardstock. I assembled them and then added a gold bow out of the same set and added them to the the inside of the oval frame with foam tape.

I have die cut, coloured and assembled the flowers and leaves from the following dies: Lovely Layers – Dianthus (coloured yellow), rosebuds from the Roses dies – coloured blush and green, leaves and lavenders from the Spring Greenery dies and the gold leaves are from the Winter Greenery set. These were all layered around the top of the bells to ressemble a wedding bouquet. To add a little glamour and sparkle I have added some Wink of Stella to the flowers.

To finish my card I have stamped the sentiments from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages stamp set in Wow embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiments out using the coordinating die set and added them to the card using foam strips.

I then added some gold pearls around the sentiment.

It’s a Cat and Mouse Father’s Day Game Father’s Day Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a Father’s Day card that I have made for my husband for Father’s Day. This was another quick and easy card to make as I already had all the foliage and flowers die cut and the cat and mouse were easy to die cut and add to the card. This cat die looks exactly like our cat from the back.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I ink blended yellow and blue inks to the centre of the card front to provide a backdrop to the leaves and animals. I cut another piece of white cardstock 4″ x 5 1/4″ and die cut the oval aperture out using the Amazing Paper Grace Oval Elegant Twist dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Gina K Designs Hole in One Stamp set to the bottom of the panel in black ink and then adhered this panel to the front of the card using foam tape.

I die cut a range of foliage from the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts – Spring Greenery from a range of green cardstock and white cardstock which was coloured with inks. These have been trimmed and added to the centre of the oval frame.

The cat has been die cut out of black cardstock and added to the centre of the oval with foam tape for dimension. The mouse has been cut out of brown cardstock and I sponged the edges with Frayed Burlap ink before adding it to the front of the oval with foam tape for dimension.
