The World is Yours

Hello Everyone,

I am using the Peaceful Poppies suite of products for today’s project.

I picked out some designer series paper and added this to a Basic Black card base.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink and die cut with the Ornate Frames set. This was added to the card base with dimensionals.

The poppies were coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers. The dark marker was added to the shadowed parts of the image and blended out with the light marker.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Family, Friends & Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set, so I created this simple card.

The outline image was stamped on to a card layer with Gray Granite ink and coloured with a Cherry Cobbler watercolour pencil.

Some little dots from the Beauty and Joy set we’re added to fill in the background.

Cherry Cobbler Ink was added to the edge of the card stock before adhering to the card base.

The sentiment was added at the bottom with dimensionals.

Silhouette Deer

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I used a combination of mask and ink blending to create a background.

Using post-it notes, I masked off a section of card stock.

With sponge daubers I applied ink starting with Balmy Blue.

Pacific Point was added next along the top, then Highland Heather along the bottom.

The deer and sentiment were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Shimmer Black powder.

A Stitched Rectangle Die was used to cut the panel. This, was adhered to a card base that had been stamped with snowflakes in Silvery Shimmer Ink.

Warm Wishes

Hello Everyone,

I have had this idea in my head for a while, finally it is made a reality.

The card uses the Rustic Retreat stamp set which I fear has been a little overlooked but I love it.

My card base was made with Crumb Cake card stock. The pine bough image was used to embellish the background using Early Espresso ink.

The topper panel was stamped with the treeline image with Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz inks. This was layered on to Poppy Parade card stock.

The cabin and sentiment were stamped with Early Espresso and Poppy Parade inks respectively.

Watercolour Pencils were used to add a hint of colour to the cabin before Die Cutting with a Stitched Oval die.

Inspire.Create #054

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

This challenge was the perfect excuse to use the Christmas Layers Die.

I originally thought I would use white on white but the detail didn’t shine as much as I wanted.

Instead I chose a super bright background and sponged the card stock with Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment was also stamped with Melon Mambo Ink.

Stitched Rectangles dies were used to cut the sentiment and some vellum.

These were adhered with dimensionals and embellished with Melon Mambo glitter enamel dots.

The snowman was stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils. The coordinating punch was used to cut the image. His hat and arms were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

Pigment Sprinkled Yuletide Cheer

Hello Everyone,

Do you like “messy” crafting? This is the technique for you!

Pigment Sprinkles are water reactive crystals packed with colour so a little goes a long way! They come in a pack of 6, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody.

To create a background, I misted some watercolour paper with clean water. Pigment was sprinkled over the top.

The piece was dried thoroughly with a heat gun. The paper will curl but is easily flattened under a heavy book.

Snowflakes were die cut from Shimmery White card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white powder on Vellum.

A piece of Bermuda Bay card stock was adhered behind the sentiment to make it stand out.

Some frosted epoxy dots finished the card.

Inspired by Friends

Hello Everyone,

The last few weeks have been a bit full on meaning I have had less time to craft. I’ve also been having some crafters block. So I have taken inspiration from one of my friends!

The original design was created by my friend Helzie. You can read her blog post here.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these lovely cards when I spent a crafty afternoon with her and other members of the team.

My spin on this card was to use the new metallic pigment inks from the Autumn Winter catalogue. These were applied with sponge daubers on to some Very Vanilla card stock which was then adhered behind the laser cut panel.

My sentiment was from the Waterfront stamp set and cut twice with the Tailored Tag Punch.

To embellish, I opted for Polka Dot Tulle ribbon and some butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a themed challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

I chose to work with the Good Morning Magnolia bundle and matching Designer Series Paper.

The background was kept simple using the paper with a vellum Stitched Rectangle over the top.

The sentiment was cut with the Tailored Tag Punch. Two black shapes were secured behind the first and adhered with dimensionals.

I added a bow tied from Petal Pink Striped Organdy Ribbon.

A small bloom was coloured with Stampin’ Blends and die cut before adding to the card with dimensionals.

From the Bottom of my Heart

Hello Everyone,

Lots of colouring of one sort or another going on in today’s card.

I began by preparing the background panel.

I used my grid paper to line up some post it note masks so I could add ink to this portion. I did this with a sponge and Highland Heather ink.

Leaving the post it notes in place, I secured a pattern mask over the top and added more Highland Heather ink. I then added versamark to the inked section, peeled away the post it notes and embossed with clear powder.

The florals are from the Bloom and Grow set. These were stamped three times with Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The coloured images were die cut and then manually cut apart to create the large spray of flowers. I used a mix of dimensionals and liquid glue to add texture.

Finally, the sentiment was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut with the Timeless Label punch and Wink of Stella Glitter was added to the larger flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Time for Tags!

Hello Everyone,

Something a bit different today with these cute tags.

The stamp set is only available on orders over £150 – club together with friends or just treat yourself!

Each image was stamped with Memento Ink so that I could use my Stampin’ Blends Markers to colour them in.

Three markers were used for most sections – I didn’t necessarily stick to the same colour – for the red in the balloon I used dark Cherry Cobbler, light Real Red and light Poppy Parade.

Try out the colours on scrap card first to see if they work.

The images were cut with the matching punch.

I cut strips of Whisper White card stock 1-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches and 2 by 4-1/4 inches. The strips were cut with the tag Topper punch. The largest tag was sponged with Pool Party Ink.

White Flax ribbon was looped through the top of the tags with the coloured images added with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

There’s lots going on with this card, it was so much fun to make.

Watercoloured Shimmer Petals

Hello Everyone,

The Shimmer White Embossing powder was a new addition to the 2019 catalogue… I can’t believe I have waited so long to use it.

These watercoloured flowers look amazing….

The flowers were stamped with versamark ink on to watercolour paper and embossed with Shimmer White powder.

I used a selection of inks to paint the Petals. Once dry, they were cut out with the coordinating punch.

I prepped a card base with the speckles from the Waterfront stamp set using Grey Granite ink.

The flowers were arranged in a circle to form a rainbow.

The sentiment, also from the Waterfront set, was stamped on to a 2 inch circle and added to the centre of the card with dimensionals.

For You

Hello Everyone,

How do you like this colour combination? This was quite accidental but think it looks great.

The process started with the wreath which was stamped with Garden Green ink. The leaves were watercoloured using Sof Sea Foam and Old Olive ink.

The bidr was stamped with Pacific Point ink. A Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen pulled the colour from the outline to colour the image.

Both were allowed to dry before fussy cutting them out.

The background panel was layered with Pacific Point card stock and embossed with the Layered Leaves folder.

The fussy cut pieces were added with dimensionals with a tiny sentiment tag tucked in underneath.

Free as a Bird Thank You card

Hello Everyone,

So I admit it…. I have been avoiding using this set. At launch there were so many lovely things being made with this set, but now I want to share a card with you.

It’s nothing fancy but like how it turned out.

I started with main image which I stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used a reference image to make my birds in to bluetits.

I die cut the image with a Nested Die and also cut the small thank you sentiment.

Leaves were stamped and coloured on a card layer before adhering the birds with dimensionals.

Time to Shine

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card uses ink blending to create a background.

Sponge daubers were used to apply three shades of ink to a card layer. This was allowed to dry completely.

The leaf from the Daisy Lane stamp set was stamped with versamark ink and embossed using clear powder.

The sentiment was stamped on to vellum and embossed with white powder and wrapped around the blended panel.

This was then matted on to white card stock and adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.
