Marvellous Mandala

Good morning all, hope you’re all keeping safe and well this June morning.

I have created a card using the fantastic Create Beautiful Things stamp set for this blog post along with ultra-fine interference glitter and pastel pearls.

I stamped the half mandala onto the left and right edges of a 13cm x 13cm piece of white smooth stamping card and coloured with alcohol markers in shades of pink, turquoise and green but obviously you could use pencils or paints or your own choice of colours. This can then be attached to a piece of 14cm x 14cm so-ordinating background card and then onto the front of a 15cm x 15cm blank white card.

Stamp the medium sized mandala onto a piece of smooth white stamping card, colour and carefully cut out. Apply glue with a glue pen to some areas of the mandala ( in the small sample above you will see I have added the glue to the pale pink areas) and sprinkle with glitter, tap off the excess and leave to dry before attaching centrally to the front of the card with 3d foam pads or silicone glue. Attach a large pearl to the centre.

Finally stamp the ‘just for you’ and ‘with love’ sentiments above and below the central mandala.

Happy crafting

Butterfly Flourish Easel Card

Wishing everyone a very good morning and hope you are all managing

to keep yourselves busy. 

Here is a post to hopefully inspire you to

carry on crafting with Lisa’s amazing products.

For this project I have used - EDGEcutz Collection – Butterfly

Flourish, Mermaid Tails – Lilac Sea and Turquoise Tails and Be Happy

Sentiments DL Stamp Set

300gsm white cardstock, double side adhesive paper and lilac and

turquoise inks or paints are also required.

I used an 18cm x 13cm (7” x 5”) blank white card and trimmed to

16cm before folding the front vertically in half.

Cut a piece of white card 16.5cm x 6.5cm, stamp the ‘Be the reason..’

verse to the right side and attach with 3d foam tape to the inside

edge of the card.

Cut 4 x 9cm x 9cm pieces of white card and colour two pieces with

lilac and two with turquoise inks or paints or use coloured cardstock

if you have some. Cover each piece with double sided adhesive

paper, (do not remove the top layer at this point) and die cut two

large single butterflies and three tiny from lilac. One of each from

turquoise. Two medium one small and one tiny from turquoise.

Remove the top layer from the adhesive sheet and sprinkle lilac sea

mermaid tales onto the lilac butterflies and the turquoise rose tails

onto the turquoise ones. Rub into the adhesive and remove any

excess back into the pots.

Die cut the butterfly edge from a piece of white card 18cm x 12cm

Die cut the outer edge die from a piece of white card 18cm x 8cm.

Glue the medium sized butterflies in place before attaching the

fancy cut edge on top. Attach the whole piece to the front fold of

the easel card and trim off the excess card.

Die cut three large and one small single butterfly from white card

and attach to the corresponding coloured butterflies. Attach two of

the tiny butterflies to each end. Place one of the lilac butterflies to

the centre of the butterfly edge, place the turquoise one just to the

right of it at a right angle. Stamp ‘May your day…’ sentiment to the

left.

Arrange the remaining large and small butterflies to the left of the

‘be the reason’ sentiment and two of the tiny one’s to the right.

Embellish the bodies with pearls.

Have a good day,

Sue xx
