I have used the Beauty Abounds bundle to create my project.

The bokeh dots in the set were stamped onto the background in Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo inks.

The largest Layering Squares dies were used to make the topper base. This was adhered flat to the card base.

Four of the smallest Stitched Squares were cut and added to the topper using dimensionals. 

A sponge dauber was used to apply ink to some Whisper White card stock. The butterflies were stamped over top and die cut. These were adhered to each of the squares.

The simple sentiment was stamped below the topper in black ink.

Delightful Bouquet

Hello Everyone,

With summer around the corner, I wanted to make a bright bunch of flowers for today’s card.

A white card layer was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and adhered to a So Saffron card base.

Stitched Rectangles cut from vellum and white card stock were added to the card.

The bouquet was made using three yellow inks to stamp the tulips. These were assembled with Multipurpose glue.

These were in turn adhered to stems cut from Pear Pizzazz card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with Pear Pizzazz ink and cut with a small Stitched Rectangle die. This was added with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

Spring time brings flowers and they bring butterflies. This inspired today’s card.

I prepared a white card base. A white card layer was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink using a leaf image from the Rooted in Nature stamp set.

Butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set were stamped with black ink. Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay inks were used to colour the images before cutting with coordinating punch.

These were shaped with a stylus before adhering to a smaller card layer.

A sentiment was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Verdant Garden

Hello Everyone,

It’s not long until we will be welcoming a new Stampin’ Up Annual Catalogue. This year it is better than ever!

Do you want one? Leave me a message and I will send one out free of charge.

So today I have a sneak peek at a new set called Verdant Garden and maybe a couple of new In Colours too!

This set can be used to make backgrounds with the 2 step Stamping technique.

I chose Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile. They go together so well!

The Photopolymer material allows the images to be lined up by looking through the acrylic block.

I added a simple sentiment from the same set using Memento Ink. I cut this with a Stitched Rectangle die which I added with dimensionals.

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.

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.

The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

The sentiment was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and trimmed to size. After layering with Poppy Parade card stock, this was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Especially for You

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to use my Stampin’ Blends for some relaxing colour therapy.

I picked this Bloom from the Botanical Bliss stamp set to work with.

Three flowers were stamped on to some Whisper White card stock with Memento Ink. Two others were added directly to a 3 by 4-3/4 inch card layer.

Each was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Three of the images were fussy cut to add to the card later.

Old Olive ink was used to stamp the leaf sprigs on to the card layer which was matted on to some Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was added next with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The Blooms were adhered with dimensionals and die cut sprigs were added in between for some texture.

The panel was finally adhered to Rich Razzleberry card base layered with Whisper White card stock with dimensionals.

The tea cups, additional foliage and the greeting were stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut. Dimensionals were used to adhere the elements to the card.

A trio of flowers were stamped with Mango Melody ink and added to the corner.

Some Wink of Stella Glitter finished the card.
