Harvest Wreath - DoveArt Studios

Welcome back!  Robin here from Robin's Crafting Nest.

The Creative Basics Dies by Rhea design team is showing off our work this week here on the blog and also at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends Facebook page.  We have made some wonderful cards to share with you to give lots of ideas on how to use these dies in different ways.

Today I created an easel card using three different die sets in Rhea's new release.

I started with a piece of 6 inch x 12 inch card stock.  I scored the card stock at 3 inches and 6 inches to create the card folds.  I then used the largest Half Double Stitched Circles die at the 3 inch line to create the popup for the easel card.

For my stamp I chose the beautiful Harvest Wreath from DoveArt Studios which is available at C.C. Designs.  I used the largest Double Stitched Circles die to frame my wreath.  The largest circle coordinates with the largest half circle.  The wreath fits perfectly within this circle.

For my sentiment I used the Fancy Rectangle Build A Card Die Set for the frame and the beautiful leaf.

Picture from the side so you can see how it easels.  The popped up sentiment die frame helps to hold the easel open so it stays in one place.

Here are the Copic Markers I used to color the wreath:

Raspberries: RV63, RV66, RV69

Grapes: YG03, YG05, YG07

Holly Berries: R24, R27, R29, R89

Small Berries: R11, R12

Leaves: YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99, G24, G28, G29, E19

You can find the full release of Creative Basics Dies by Rhea through C.C. Designs.

I really enjoyed making this card because I have never made an easel card before.  I am very happy with the way it came out.  Hope you enjoy!

Power Poppy Gladiolus

Welcome back to Passionate Paper Creations! 

Robin here from Robin's Crafting Nest to share today. 

Our sponsor this week on Passionate Paper Creations and Friends is Power Poppy.  The beautiful images are created by artist Marcella Hawley.

I love to color flowers and I usually gravitate towards any floral image.  So the Power Poppy designs are right up my alley.  

Today I chose to color the Gladioli Digital Stamp Set.  The Gladiolus is such a beautiful flower.  They can grow to be about 3 feet tall and come in a wide variety of colors.  I have these planted in my garden here in Maryland and I can't wait for them to bloom.  Since they are so diverse I chose to color two of the same image in different colors.  It really changes an image when you try it in different colors.

For my first card I used my wonderful Creative Basics Dies and embossing folders.

I used the Fancy Rectangles and Layers Die Set and the Picnic Quilt Embossing Folders. I just love the Picnic Quilt Embossing Folders they make the cutest patterns on your card stock.

Copic Markers I used:

Flowers: RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29

Leaves: YG21, YG03, YG17, YG67, YG99

For my second card I wanted to share some orange Gladiolus.  I also used the sentiment from Power Poppy's Loving Tulips stamp set.  Again I used some of my Creative Basics Dies.  This time I used Fancy Circles Die Set and Basic Stitched Flags Die Set.

Copic Markers I used:

Flowers: YR12, YR15, YR68, R05

Leaves: YG21, YG03, YG17, YG67, YG99
