Creative Colour Challenge #76 with the Beautifully Happy stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I’ve not had the chance to take part in this challenge for a while but managed to get some craft time in!

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

I took the opportunity to work with this Sale-a-bration stamp set and Stampin’ Blends!

Layers were created with the Deckled Rectangle dies.

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

Some Pool Party ribbon and a simple sentiment finished the project.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #134 – Case the Designer!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another Inspire.Create.Challenge!

Challenge #134 is to Case the Designer…. Me!

This was my take on the “floating DSP” technique.

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below… We’d love to see your makes!

I have recreated my card with coloured cardstock rather than designer series paper. All these colours are in the Brights colour family.

With all the colour in the circle element, I kept the rest of the card in monochromatic black and white.

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

The sentiment was taken from the Something Fancy stamp set and cut with coordinating dies.

This sample uses the Subtles colour family and is embellished with iridescent pastel gems.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,

It’s time for another Inspire.Create Challenge! And this time we are being festive with our creations!

You can see the other design team projects over on the Inspire Create Challenge blog

While you are there we would love to see what you make with this theme, just upload your image and we will pick a winner!

My card today features the Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamp sets.

I chose a bright colour palette of Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade for the Holly leaves and berries.

For some contrast I picked out another colour from the “brights” collection – my fave – Bermuda Bay – and used this for the sentiment and card base!

For this sample I switched to the “subtles” collection of colours, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue but kept the layout the same.

Both cards were embellished with this gorgeous gold ribbon!
