This is my second post for today using Vilda stamp Flowers Geranium and Roses Stamps set. My recommendation is to visit Engströms ArtStudio shop and you will find all Vilda stamps and much more.

Let’s take a look at today’s CAS card No2.
This set is really beautiful and I can not stop playing. I decided to make a clean and simple card in order to present this image in the best way. Look at all those little tiny pieces in the flowers. Amazing. I also decided to use this color combo because it reminds me of my grandmother’s flowers. She always had a lot of flowers planted in some old pots.
The images and sentiment I stamped with copic friendly black ink and colored with Copic Markers. (RV63, RV66 and RV69, G20,G21, G24 and G28, BG10, BG11, BG13, BG15 and BG18). For the two panels I used MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax Set 1 Die-namics and Plaid Patterns paper pack from MFT. I hope you like it!
Thank you for stopping by! See you soon! Kristina!
Kristina Here. This is my very first post for Vilda Stamps. I will actually publish two card today so be sure to come back here later on to see the other card. As I said before I am Kristina Pavlovic and I am cardmaker. I am very happy and proud to be Vilda Stamps Design Team Member. My blog you can find on WordPress -Kristina’s Art Corner . I live in Sweden with my amazing husband and I work in kindergarten.
And now let’s go to work. This is my first card using Flowers Geranium and Roses Stamps set (Blommor Pelargon och Rosor)
I decided to make Clean and Simple card. I stamped my image with light gray ink and colored with Copic Markers using No-line coloring technique. I also added some details with Watercolour pencils and Uni Ball White gel pen. For the front panel I used MFT Die-namics to cut out this Beautiful shape. The sentiment from the stamps set I stamped with MFT Extreme black ink. On the end I added my front panel on red card base with score tape and added Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White for the final touch. And yes, I almost forgot … I also used Wink Of Stella Clear glitter pen on my roses.
I hope you like it!

Hi there!
So, today will be my very first blogpost for Vilda stamps and I´m so excited!
I have made some easter projects for you with a cute cute easterstamp.
I also used one of the banners for this card and later on I will have a text that says Happy Easter in it.
I hope that you will like it. I have used a little bit more softened colors but still yet “easter colors”.
First out is a card, it´s 15×15 cm.
The second project is a little treat box.
I bought some copic pens and they came in this boxes and instead of throwing it away as I use to do I thouht, why not make a little easter treat box of it?? Fill it up with candy and then give it away to some happy kid.
I hope you got some inspiration for easter, it´s not very far away!
You can find the easterstamps here.
I’ve stamped and colored in the coffee cup and cut it out. Then I stamped the sleeve again onto corrugated paper and glued it on top of my cup. The sleeve was decorated with a banner on which I stamped the word espresso and with a little heart. The heart is from the German Lyrics Oktoberfest stamp set and is originally connected to the word Oktoberfest. I stamped it separately, colored it in and glued it under the banner.
Under the cup I’ve used lace, cheesecloth, ribbon and two paper straws.
The sides of my little box are all decorated identically. I first stamped different stamps from the Scrap and Mixed Media Set 2 and the Splats Kit onto kraft colored paper using brown ink. Then I stamped more coffee related words, that all come in the Coffee Kit as well, onto the cardstock, using black ink this time. Around the box I’ve wrapped some brown organza ribbon.
To not make the content of my box visible immediately I’ve first filled it with some yummy chocolates with coffee taste and then put some paper strips on top. Of course the chocolats are wrapped individually so the taste won’t get weird from the paper.
Easter will be here soon – so it’s time to think about how to use those cute easter stamps.
I have made a simple box – with the image as the main focus:
I’ve cut the box from blue cardstock and covered the top with light blue designer’s paper. I just love soft colors for Easter! Then I’ve put some lace across the box.
The die cut word means “easter greetings”. I’ve stacked 4 of them on top of each other for a 3D effect. And I also added a few die cut clouds that are partially put onto the image, partially onto the box.
This cute image is from the Easter Kit. I love this chubby chicken and the bunny with the long legs…
It’s Kathrin here again with another card. Valentine’s will be here before we know it – and I won’t post before it so I thought I’d make a love themed card to inspire you.
For the base I used a die cut heart with a lacey edge and put a one with straight edges cut from white cardstock on top of it. I used Distress Inks Weathered Wood to ink the white cardstock up a bit and then stamped the Letter Context stamp on the left half. I also added some ink spots using stamps from the Splats Kit. I wanted it to look like an old handwritten love letter.
The main element on my card is this saying from the German Lyrics stamp set. It is about how all flowers wither, naming a few of those flowers, all but the one named forget-me-not. I remember writing this lyric into those books you give your friends as a kid.
Again I have used a bit of Distress Ink and added a little die cut heart to the panel. It just being white looked way too plain to me.
Under the panel with the lyric I’ve put a die cut flourish and a frame with flourish edges. To make these pop a bit from the red heart in the background I’ve used white Gesso on the edges.
On the left side I’ve added a die cut birdhouse with a heart shaped opening – and yes, the heart next to the lyrics is the left over piece from that birdhouse – and tucked a butterfly underneath. There’s also some cheesecloth and lace. And of course I wanted to add a few flowers. I didn’t have tulip or carmation flowers – two of the flowers named in the lyric – but at least I went with the roses and forget-me-nots.
This is Kathrin today and I want to share with you a love themed card that turned out completly different than I had planned. I wanted to make a clean and simple card but felt like there was missing something. So I added more and more stuff, still trying to stick to clean. I am still not 100 % happy with the outcome, but decided I have to stop or I would ruin it. So, here’s the card I am talking about:
I started with a white card base and put a layer of plain dark red cardstock on top of it. Across this I’ve put some wide lace before adding a layer of a light blue designer’s paper with a hearts print. On top of that I arranged all the stamps I wanted to use.
I started with the larger one of the Postershere and put the heart with the “ever and always” saying that was heat embossed with white powder onto red cardstock on top of it. The largest of the Glass Bottleswas stamped with a light grey in and colored in with Copics. Then I used a small heart stamp to fill the bottle.
On top of all of that I used the 100 % love barcode stamp from the German Lyrics stamp set and cut it into a banner shape.
Behind all of this I’ve added some of the flowers from the Fantasy 2 stamp set. It was a bit fussy to hand cut them with their beautiful flourishes, but sometimes you have to do what needs to be done. In the end I also added some smaller lace and a doily.
Paper cardstock: in the colors red base card, white, printed red white, green. Piece of Vellum: Red.
Stamp print is placed on white stamp paper: 7 x 10.5 cm. Then paste everything according to the example and decorate with glitter stones of your choice.
