Thought of You

Good Morning,

Today I am using the Climbing Roses bundle to create this card.

I started by stamping the trellis image on to some Whisper White card stock. This was adhered to a Mango Melody card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink and die cut with the coordinating Framelits.

The flowers were stamped with Memento Ink to allow colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

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.

So Much to Love

Hello Everyone,

The sentiment was selected from the coordinating stamp set, Abstract Impressions. This was stamped with Pacific Point ink and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. This was adhered off set against the blue paper using dimensionals.

A knot of Night of Navy baker’s twine was added as a finishing touch.

I loved making yesterday’s card, so here’s another using similar supplies.

This time I chose the large oval sentiment which was stamped with Soft Sea Foam Ink.

I love how this card turned out, pretty and simple design but really effective.

The card base was built from Whisper White card stock. A smaller panel adhered to black card stock before adding to the base.

InspireINK Blog Hop – Romance

Good Morning,

Welcome to January’s InspireINK blog hop. This month we are getting romantic with our theme….

As always please click the next button at the bottom of this post to carry on hopping through the other projects.

My project uses the Dear Doily bundle…. It is Pink but there’s not a heart in sight.

To make the background, I heat embossed the small doily image across the bottom corner of the card.

Pink inks were added over the top. The embossed areas resist the ink.

The larger portion of the sentiment was added with Lovely Lipstick ink.

Using the Stamparatus, two of the florals were stamped with Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick inks. These were die cut and adhered to the card.

The second portion of the sentiment was then added over the top of stems with a small Die cut element underneath.

Please click the next button to continue to Linda’s project.
