The Project Share Project Blog Hop – Birthday Theme

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop.

You will find links to the projects made by Jill, Heather and Gez at the bottom of this post…. It would be great if would stop by their blogs too!

Our theme is “birthday” – I’m sure the ladies will have some great ideas for this theme, but I’m sticking to a pretty floral card!

My card features the Art Gallery stamp set and coordinating dies.

I’ve also thrown in some embossing to add interest to the background.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

A touch of ink rubbed over the embossing with a blending brush emphasises the texture!

This sample was made with Mango Melody and Mossy Meadow….

A Final Card with Borders to Backgrounds

Hello Everyone,

The January to June Mini catalogue will retire in just over a week’s time…. And sadly this stamp set has already sold out 😦

But I still wanted to show you these cards I made with the Stamparatus tool. So if you managed to get the stamp set or you have something similar you can try this out!

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial…

The Biggest Wish stamp set lives on the desk at the moment…. I just love it!

I have used complimentary colours to make my cards. I think that these would also look good with black accents too!

And here’s a bonus card I didn’t show on my video! This combo is Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green.
