Back to folklore

Oh yes! I'm back to the folklore again and I will be doing it so in the future. Got a heap of gorgeous folksy scrapbooking papers, punches and stamps to work through and to show off  :) So here is my another try at this rustic countryside theme :)

This is a largely stamped card with stamps from Noolibird (the cockerel), GoScrap (folky flowers, 3 hearts) and Hero Arts and Kars stamps (the stamped frame, sorry, don't remember the name of these stamp sets. I've had them for years and got rid of the original packaging.) Blue, white and green is the colour combination I wanted to see on this card. The cockerel has been heat-embossed in a moss green embossing powder.

Purple and mint  below :) Another long narrow tent card with a decorative cockerel band (I think this is my favourite patterned paper). These great folky papers come from  a Polish scrapbooking brand - GoScrap. I also did a trick with breaking the ribbon and filling the gap with some self-adhesive gems. 

Upper and bottom stamped band - Hero Art stamp set.
"Jest pięknie!" stamp from GoScrap.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a lovely day. x

Folky Cards

I love folky themes :) A while ago I bought some nice Polish folky style papers from GoScrap. Now it's  time to show what cards I made using them. I used some stamps from Noolibird, GoScrap, Stempell & Kartoon and Hero Arts as well as Woodware and Martha Stewart punches.

I really enjoyed composing those cards. Stamping with various inks and coordinating colours and designs was fun too! The folky motif that dominates in the cards is, naturally, a cockerel. 

The folky papers from GoScrap are so nice that I didn't want to cover them with too many embellishments.

They are just decorative on their own. Blue and green colour combination is something I wanted to have a go at. I think I will make more cards in those shades. Gingham heart stamps (from Stempell & Kartoon) are one of my favourites. 

Here, below I used some lovely stamps from GoScrap - in form of typical Polish paper cut-out flowers - the motifs you often see in Eastern Europe. They have been coloured with Promarkers. I think the card blank scallop adds even more folky flair to them. 

Red, blue, white - Scandinavian combination of colours merged with some Polish folksy motifs. The cockerel paper strips cut out from the sheets of paper are just perfect to use on long narrow tent cards. Martha Stewart's lacy punch seems to be ideal for this theme too.

And why not use some adhesive folky ribbons either? :)

All cards together:

More folky cards on their way :) Keep in touch.  Hope you all have a good relaxing weekend.

Edit: Linking up to Hand-made Monday tonight. Do join in. It's fun! :)
