Using Watercolour Pencils with the Celebrating Sunflowers bundle

Hello Everyone,

This card project has been made for a colour challenge…. The colours were perfect to go with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.

The Double Oval punch fitted the sentiment beautifully, this is such a useful punch!

Cardmaking with the Springtime Joy stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I wonder if you caught my post for the InspireINK Blog hop on Saturday?

I used the adorable Springtime Joy stamp set and I’m using it again today to CASE my own card to make today’s project!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Make sure to clean masks thoroughly between used….. My Coastal cabana turned a little grey. Fortunately, this didn’t spoil the final project.

The colour lifter marker gave my bunny a soft look! An essential for your Stampin’ Blends collection!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create Sketch Challenge with the Vine Design Bundle

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a sketch challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

When I saw the circle in the sketch, I knew I wanted to use the Vine Design Bundle for my project!

I used blending brushes to add some colour to the detailed die cut.

The flowers were stamped with Seaside Spray ink and also die cut for layering over the top.

See how the card was put together in my video tutorial….

The label me fancy punch was perfect for cutting the sentiment.

Rhinestones were added to the centre of each flower. These could be substituted with pearls or other embellishments.

This sample used Rococo Rose. Which is your favourite?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I chose to work with the Springtime Joy stamp set and the Oval Occasions bundle to create an oh so cute and bright birthday card!

The sweet little lamb was coloured with Stampin’ Blends, but of course, there are other colouring mediums to choose from. I did go back to a favourite staple item in the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

I used the new blending brushes to add Flirty Flamingo ink to the background using a mask.

Gray Granite ink was used for the sentiment, which I punched with the fabulous coordinating Double Oval punch. This was layered with Flirty Flamingo over some white twine loops.

The new Pastel Pearls were the perfect finishing touch to the design, and I couldn’t resist a bit of Wink of Stella on the flowers!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

More Pretty Perennials with Ink Blended Background

Hello Everyone,

I love working with the Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes. I’ve used them in two ways to make today’s card to create different effects!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The blending brushes worked beautifully with the decorative mask to create the background.

I used some quirky colours for my original sample to participate in a colour challenge!

Dimensional Floating and Fluttering Card!

Hello Everyone,

Another fabulous die bundle being featured today …. Floating and Fluttering!

I have shared some cards with the stamp set already, but I am also using the coordinating dies in the project featured today!

I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the butterflies. See how to get this stunning look in my video tutorial!

Using a coordinating ink pad for the sentiment pulls the design together.

And I just had to add Wink of Stella to the wings.

The die cuts give the card loads of dimension.

There are so many colour combinations you can try!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Colour Challenges with Pretty Perennials

Hello Everyone,

Here we are again, the start of another week of lockdown here in the UK!

Today’s cards have been made for a couple of Facebook colour challenges;

  • Highland Heathe
  • Just Jade
  • Gray Granite

And….

  • Old Olive
  • Petal Pink
  • Night of Navy

I chose to work with the Pretty Perennials bundle. It is so versatile and great value for money. For a few extra pounds, you will also qualify for a Sale-a-bration item!

You can see the cardmaking process in my video tutorial….

I tweaked the layout slightly from the original so it was a little more balanced.

The Pastel Pearls from the Hydrangea Hill suite were perfect for this card!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Super Quick Pretty Cards with the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I am continuing with the quick and easy cards, this time using the fantastic Pretty Perennials stamp set!

With lots of elements that work together and some two step stamping too, this set is so versatile!

See the cardmaking process in my video tutorial….

With dozens of colours to choose from, this card can be made over and over again.

I did not add any embellishments or ribbon either, so imagine the possibilities for stepping up this simple layout.

Change the neutral colour to black, grey or Crumb Cake…..

Or use a different shade of green….

I wonder which is your favourite?

Simple Stampin’ with Borders and Backgrounds

Hello Everyone,

It’s all about the stamping for today’s card project.

Here I have used the Borders to Backgrounds stamp set. The colour inspiration is from a just for fun Facebook colour challenge.

The sentiment is from Sweet Ice Cream, but of course this can be swapped for something else in your crafty stash!
