Welcome and thanks for stopping by. It’s time for the Build & Bloom Blog Hop and for June we are bringing you ‘For Kids’ projects. I love creating kids cards as I get a chance to create a fun scene. Simple shapes and bold colours were in order.

This month I have chosen to use the Flowering Meadow Bundle as my Product Spotlight over on my social media. This is part of a larger suite but I wanted to show that you do not have to buy everything. I know we want it all, but sometimes the bank balance does not allow for this. The bundle is beautiful and very versatile, with lots of florals and foliage.

How to create your fun scene card.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, measuring 20.5cm x 9.5cm. Using a blending brush and Azure Afternoon ink, lightly add colour to the top half of your card layer. Trim a piece of Old Olive DSP (designer series paper) to 20.5cm x 7cm and cut a wavy line on the top edge. Adhere your DSP to the bottom of your blended cardstock. This will be your sky and grass for your fun scene card.

Using the single stem and bud stamps, stamp seven images using Old Olive ink for the stems and Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Timid Tiger, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Azure Afternoon, and Gourgeous Grape ink for the buds. Fussy cut around the images. If you do not like to fussy cut, you can stamp the buds and stems separately, die-cut, and glue together.

Adhere your bud images across your scene in a rainbow, using a mix of dimensions and glue dots. Die-cut five ‘Daisy Heads’ from Old Olive card and adhere upside down over the bottoms of your stems. These will be grass growing around the bottom of your flowers.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using black ink. Die-cut or trim to size and add to your sky using dimensionals. I used the Words Of Beauty Bundle.

Create a cardbase, measuring 21cm x 10cm, using Thick Basic White. Adhere your fun scene to your cardbase. To finish your card, add several ladybugs from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.

I do hope I have given you some inspiration, and you will create your own Fun Scene Card. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.

Please do continue to hop round for lots more inspiration.

Happy Crafting

The post How To Create A Fun Scene Card For Kids! appeared first on Leighsa's Loft.

You may have seen on my social media that each month I have a Product Spotlight! I choose a current product, suite, or anything I fancy, and us that to create all my projects for that month. I may add some other craft stash basics depending on what I have chosen. I thought it would be a good idea to add these projects to a monthly inspo blog post.

For April I have chose to use the Capturing Smiles bundle as my Product Spotlight. This bundle is perfect for so many occassion, if it’s worthy of a photo it’s worthy of a project with a camera.

This card pairs the Capturing Smiles Bundle with the Florals in Bloom DSP. The stamped images are colour with Stampin’ Blends and the flowers are fussy cut from the papers.

Adding Fine Tip Glue Pen to the shutter for a shine.

I created this scrapbook page using the Capturing Smiles Bundle, Days Like These Memories & More Card Pack and Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers.

I am so please with how this page finished up.

Video below.

This card is easily my favourite project I created using this bundle. White heat embossed images, watercoloured and added to a matching background. Splatters added for extra texture.

Video below.

I created this scrapbook page on my Facebook Live and it was a real ‘Trust the process’ moment. I wanted to use the same colour as I used for the card above and watercolour. Adding in the strips of Two-Tone cardstock and DSP.

Video below.

Mixing the older and the new! The Beautiful Bokeh DSP is a perfect pairing for the Capturing Smiles Bundle. The soft edged design and muted colours allows my camera to pop. I love the addition of a matching matt layer too.

These cards were created on a Facebook Live. I wanted to recreate the card above in more masculine tones, using the Boho Vibes DSP.

You can watch that live below.

This card is took me way to long to create, due to the fact that when I used the Mini Alphabet Die to cut my background, I allowed the letters to fall out. This resulted in me having to stick them back in one by one. LOL

I left out the ‘H’ & ‘I” for my sentiment, blended ink over the bottom and used my Stampin’ Blends to colour ribbon to match.

I am loving creating monochromatic projects for the Crafty Collaboration Monochromatic Insta Hops. Just a simple random stamped background, using first and second gerneration stamping, ribbon coloured to match and a large fussy cut sentiment, makes for an easy card.

I am so happy with how this card turned out. I wanted to give the impression/feel of taking a photo in nature. Using the super pretty Thoughtful Journey DSP for my background and inserted into the film strip. Keeping the camera and strip simple, in Basic Black and silver, allows them to pop without leaving the papers behind.

Another card created for the Crafty Collaboration Monochromatic Insta Hop, this time using Gray Granite. This is not a colour I use very often, but I love how this card turned out.

Again random stamping for the background and first & second generation stamping for my die-cut images. Fussy cut sentiments, simple bakers twine and white embellishments to finish.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box, or in this case create a box. .

For this Triple Z Fold Card, I used the Capturing Smiles Bundle paired with the Easter Joy DSP and Easter Basket Dies. The camera is coloured using Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Blends.

I used a tutorial from Tami White @stampwithtami for the card construction. Do go check her out.

Keeping it simple! That was the idea for when creating these cards and I nearly accomplished it.
I took inspiration from the Global Design Project #gdp545 with the colour combo Bubble Bath, Granny Appple Green, and Strawberry Slush, using this for both my cards. Keeping it simple for my first card with tone-on-tone stamping and a couple of die-cuts. My second card uses to emboss resisit technique, but I kept everything else simple.
