Pinch Punch – first of the month! where did the last 3 months go!

I have a lovely bright card for you today. Rich Razzleberry is a beautiful colour, one of many that feature in this designer paper.

I have allowed the pink colour to be the star of the show by creating a wider border than usual. The addition of Copper Metallic Thread provides some interest before adding the sentiment which has been created with the Layering Circle Framelits.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Good Morning! I hope it is sunny where you are today!

I have used this wonderful coordinating stamp and designer paper combo today.

The Night of Navy card stock really lift the paper from the background.

The sentiment banner has been curved for some added dimension. This has been adhered using Fast Fuse as this is super sticky.

The flowers are stamped on to Crumb Cake card which I then fussy cut out. The petals were curled to create a more realistic look. The rhinestones add a bit of bling…we all like a bit of bling!

love it! Hope you do too.

Hey Crafters!

So I have had this designer paper for a while but have finally unleashed it with this card…. and it turned out great!

Some simple layering with Delightful Dijon really makes the paper “pop”. The ribbon adds some texture, but I decided to tie this into a knot rather than a bow.

All it needed was a sentiment. I chose this one from the Suite Sayings set, but you could choose anything to suit the occasion.

Here are some other colour combos to try, (Pacific Point, Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Cherry Cobbler).

As always, supplies are listed and linked below.

I hope you have enjoyed this project and stop by again soon!

Good Morning Crafters,

Today I bring you this beautifully simple card a friend would be glad to receive.

I cut the designer series paper to 4 by 5 3/4 inches which was adhered flat to the card base.

Using the layering square dies, I cut the largest scallop in Island Indigo. Plain squares were cut in Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

The sentiment from the Suite Sayings stamp set was stamped with Island Indigo ink. These were layered together and added to the card.

The Blossom Bunch and Petite Petal punches were used to make the flowers. A rhinestone was added to each flower centre and arranged on the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello again Crafty friends,

For this project, I started by layering the patterned paper on to some Delightful Dijon card, to fit on to an A6 card base.

On a piece of Very Vanilla measuring 4 by 2 1/2 inches, I stamped a greeting from the Paisleys and Posies stamp set using Dapper Denim ink. The edges of the panel were decorated with another stamp from the set also using Dapper Denim and Mint Macaron ink.

This was layered on to a piece of Delightful Dijon card measuring 4 by 2 3/4 inches. I adhered this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a different look, swap the card stock colour to any of the other colours featured in the paper.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hi Crafters,

A clean and simple card project today.

The Hey Chick stamp set is only available as a free product choice with a qualifying order during the Sale-a-bration event, while stocks last. This will end 31st March. Once they’re gone…they’re gone!

I started by stamping the chick and sentiment with Archival Ink on to  a piece of Whisper White card measuring 3 7/8 by 5 5/8.

The image was coloured using a barely damp aqua painter. Whisper White will not take a lot of water. The colours used were Watermelon Wonder, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sky.

Once dry, this was layered on to a piece of Daffodil Delight card and added to the card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello and Good Morning!

Very simple make today, but very effective I think.

Starting at the bottom, I stamped 3 flowers from Sunshine Sayings stamp using elegant Eggplant ink. I repeated this at the top. Additional flowers were stamped in Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was also stamped in Elegant Eggplant and cut in to a banner. This was added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals and finished off with some rhinestones.

Love it!

Hi Crafters,

I thought I would share a Mother’s Day card with you today.

To start I layered some Crumb Cake card on to some Whisper White card. I then wrapped the ribbon around this before adhering to a 6 by 4 inch card base.

I then added a lace doily towards the right hand side of the card.

On some White card stock, I stamped some of the elements from the Falling Flowers stamp set, which I then die cut with the coordinating May Flowers framelits. These were arranged on to the card as pictured.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink, which I then free-hand cut in to a banner. I added this to the card, tucking it in under some of the flowers.

Isn’t it cute! so pleased with this.

Hope You have enjoyed this project.

Hello Crafters,

I have a quick and simple card to share with you today.

The lace borders were stamped dirst with Pink Pirouetteink, approximately 1 1/2 inches apart.

Using post-it notes mask off the borders and stamp the flowers in black ink.

Stamp the sentiment and cut with the Classic label punch. Adhere this to a piece of ribbon, (3 inches), then add to the card.

Hi Crafters,

I have a 3D project for you today. Aren’t these SO cute!

To make the box, start with a piece of Basic Black card cut to 8 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches.

Score the long side at 2, 4, 6 and 8 inches.

Score the short side at 2, 4 and 6 inches.

Cut away card stock as illustrated in the photo below. Note that at the bottom only the 1st and 3rd sections have been wedged so that the base remains neat and completely square when completed.

Using the Layering Square framelit #7, (counting in from the largest), cut 5 glimmer squares. Add these onto the 4 sides and lid of the box.

Add fast fuse to the tab, (right most on the photo), and wrap around to form the box. Fold in the side flaps, rear flap and then secure using the front flap in place with fast fuse.

Stamp the sentiment with coordinating ink and punch out using the Classic Label punch. Adhere to the box with glue dots.

Finally, punch out 3 glimmer flowers with the Petite Petal punch and adhere with glue dots.

Here are some of my other projects made using glimmer paper. Some of these have featured on my blog over the last few days.
