One Sheet Wonder with the Textured Floral Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t done a one sheet wonder for a while so here we go with the Textured Floral Stamp Set!

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial…

The Lasting Label punch was perfect for the sentiment….

The combo is really punchy on the Lemon Lime Twist card base…

I was pleased with the finished cards. I wasn’t so sure it was going to work out at the halfway point….

My original sample cards used the purples and cool pinks….

This time I used Soft Sea Foam and Bubble Bath for the card bases…

I think this set is my favourite!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

It is so exciting to be able to use these fabulous new Stampin’ Up! In Colours!

These are earthier tones than we have had in recent years and I can see Pebbled Path being a versatile neutral.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #139 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

Challenge #139 is a Sketch – a layout suggestion to create the card. This isn’t in keeping with my usual style but I’m giving it a try!

You can see the design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I have used the fabulous In Colours for my project today.

The strips for the background are embossed / debossed and added to the Basic White panel at an angle.

For the original card the strips were tone on tone stamped and the sentiment was heat embossed.

Creative Colour Challenge #80 with the Queen Bee bundle

Hello Everyone,

I’m a bit late posting this make for the Creative Colour Challenge #80 – real life got in the way a little this week. I can’t to see the new challenge later today!

If you wish to play along you can do so HERE!

This one was very tricky. I originally thought I would create a sunset but my daughter saw my sample and gave me a new idea.

I love the texture from the Bricks and Mortar 3D embossing folder which blended beautifully.
