More Cards with the Fond of Autumn Bundle

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to use this amazing bundle again… Just love it! There are so many ways to use it!

So today, I’m using the dies to make a series of cards. The image was stamped four times in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers….

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

My particular favourite is this one….

And this card used the leftover pieces!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

My Pootlers Craft Retreat Swaps

Hello Everyone,

This post is a little overdue, but better late than never.

Followers will know 3D projects aren’t my thing, but here is a little something I made for the rest of the team at our retreat organised by my upline, Sam aka Pootles Papercraft.

These needed to be simple to make as a batch!

You can see how I made them in my video tutorial….

I used a selection of colours to stamp the image and Hues of Happiness designer series paper inside. You can make 12 of the wraps from one sheet of paper!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Floating DSP Technique using Hues of Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d give this technique a try today using some scraps from my desk! I’ve seen this a few times, most recently by Jill at Paper Daisy Crafting….

I don’t use a lot of DSP but I saw some amazing samples from Craft with Jayne and bought some. This technique is great for using scraps!

I think this one in blue is my favourite!

Easel Card with Colour and Contour

Hello Everyone,

I’m bringing out another favourite stamp set for today’s card!

I created a hand stamped background, opting to use Basic Grey rather than black ink for a softer look. This complimented the Highland Heather ink I added to the flowers.

For something different I made this into an easel card. I thought this provided an opportunity for the beautiful scalloped edge to shine through.

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

The original card used So Saffron. I love this cute new tag punch!
