Hello Everyone,
I don’t know about you, but I have a collection of scrap pieces of cardstock on my craft table including some long thin strips.
This card was made to help use up some of those strips.
The circular frame was cut using the Stylish Shapes and Deckled Circle dies.
Strips were added to the aperture in one direction, then others were woven in from another.
It’s a little fiddly but worth the effort in the end.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
I decorated the rest of the card using the Thoughtful Expressions bundle and a paper butterfly. The butterflies come as a pack of 40, and as they are plain white, can be coloured however you like.
Here’s another version using different a different layout and colours!
I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,
Have you seen this amazing embossing folder? I absolutely love it… And it’s perfect for making super quick but stunning cards!
This is 3D folder, so make sure you follow the directions on your die cutting machine to get the right sandwich!
I just used Basic White cardstock so I could add colour, but this could easily have been subbed for any cardstock of your choice.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
I’ve added colour with blending brushes, selecting areas of the embossing for each colour.
This combo is Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia with Gray Granite.
The sentiment is from a Sale-a-bration set and cut with these cute Everyday Details dies.
Here’s another version using Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath with Crumb Cake… A much softer look!
And here’s another with bold blue flowers! This technique is definitely one to have fun with!
I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,
Today I’m creating something a little different. The vintage look isn’t my usual style but I thought it suited this card design.
The Perennial Postage Bundle combines pretty all occasion sentiments and this fantastic set of dies.
I used six of the smallest squares to create a topper, layered with Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stocks.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
I used Pecan pie ink to stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the squares to match the card base.
Some twine, gems and sequins finished off the topper which was adhered with dimensionals.
I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,
Are you ready for Christmas? I still have some things to do but it’ll come together I’m sure! 🤞🏻. This batch of cards should finish off what I need on that front at least.
I love this combination of Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat. There’s some Sweet Sorbet in there too for the mat layer.
I needed 5 mini card layers and mats, which can be cut from a single sheet of cardstock.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
My original card was a brighter palette of Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and som Real Red.
The same layout looks so different in each of these colourways….
Here’s something a little plainer, with Starry Sky layers and Berry Burst bow!

I’ve taken different route to create the framed edge, using stamps rather than Designer Series Paper.
This was heat embossed with clear powder. A touch of ink blending lifts this from the background.
The colour combo I’ve used is Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Moody Mauve.
You can see this card in my You Tube video…
I swapped the colours to something brighter, Shaded Spruce,Lemon Lime Twist and Sweet Sorbet.

Hello Everyone,
I’m combining some favourite techniques to make the background for today’s cards… Heat embossing and ink blending!
I started by adding Moody Mauve ink to the top and bottom of the card layer before adding the snowflakes.
Fresh Freesia ink was added to the central portion, revealing white snowflakes.
Blackberry Bliss ink was added to the top and bottom, revealing pink snowflakes.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
A spritz of water added some extra interest too. Layering on to white cardstock makes the colour pop!
The Scallloped Contour dies fit the sentiment perfectly, and some adhesive sequins finish it off!
The blue combo uses, Boho Blue, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky.

Hello Everyone,
Today I wanted to share these cards with the sentiment as the focal point framed with the gorgeous dazzling specialty paper.
The design lends itself to batch making, prepping all the elements in advance and easily put together.
To save time, the sentiment could stamped in coordinating ink rather than heat embossed.
The holly could also be die cut from coloured cardstock.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
I added some Crumb Cake die cuts behind the sentiment panels, which were popped up on dimensionals.
Some gold and silver gems were added to simulate berries.
Here are the Shaded Spruce versions of the cards. I think these would look good with other coloured card bases too.

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop. Our theme for this month is Winter, Christmas and all things festive!

My card today features the Joy of Noel bundle and some colouring with Stampin’ Blends.
The accent colour in this design is Wild Wheat, which I am using as a substitute for gold. It looks great against the Shaded Spruce card base.
The Noel sentiment is popped up on some mini dimensionals and I have added some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.
This version uses a Real Red card base. I had originally stamped the panel for the bottom of the card with black ink, but I prefer the softer look using Crumb Cake. Thinking about it now, I probably could have used Wild Wheat too.

Hello Everyone,
I have something really simple to share today and it gave me an excuse to ink up two stamp sets for the first time… Forever Forest and Joy to You!
I used two shades of green to give the look of distance between the rows of trees. This sample used Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial
The panel was made with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes dies. A second square was used to cut the gold, heat embossed sentiment. The join is hidden behind the treeline.
The Fern 3D embossing folder added some interest to the background layer.
This version uses Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam.

Hello Everyone,
I have been wanting to make a Christmas wreath with the Joy of Noel bundle for ages… And here it is!
I have picked a nontraditional colour scheme to get a frosty look to the card. The foliage uses a mixture of Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam with Moody Mauve berries.
With a different sentiment, this would make a beautiful winter wedding card too.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial
The card base and sentiment are in Gray Granite accented with some vellum, Sheer ribbon and Neutral Adhesive Sequins.
This version uses warmer tones of Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake, with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.

Hello Everyone,
I have to say, I wasn’t immediately drawn to this stamp set, I’m not really a fan of cutesie animals… But I did want some Christmas trees and the set had that plus some lovely little presents, snowflakes and sentiments!
Lots of colouring going on with this design… I wanted a spectrum of coloured wrapping paper under the trees!
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
With so many gorgeous colours to choose from there are lots of options. Broadly speaking the Regals and Brights work well together.
Here’s an alternative where I didn’t add any extra colour to the trees, and dropped in some little snowflakes in the background!
