Hello Everyone,

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

Challenge #161 is all about love!

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

I’ve used the beautiful Bubble Bath cardstock and ink to create my card today.

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

The Modern Oval punch provided a guide to position flowers from the Petal Park stamp set.

A simple sentiment banner was stamped with Berry Burst ink and adhered across the flowers with dimensionals.

A few iridescent pearls finished off the card.

The original card used Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss, with flowers arranged in a circle.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Using Scraps to make a Lattice Detail Card Topper

Hello Everyone,

I don’t know about you, but I have a collection of scrap pieces of cardstock on my craft table including some long thin strips.

This card was made to help use up some of those strips.

The circular frame was cut using the Stylish Shapes and Deckled Circle dies.

Strips were added to the aperture in one direction, then others were woven in from another.

It’s a little fiddly but worth the effort in the end.

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

I decorated the rest of the card using the Thoughtful Expressions bundle and a paper butterfly. The butterflies come as a pack of 40, and as they are plain white, can be coloured however you like.

Here’s another version using different a different layout and colours!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Ink Blended Background using the Layered Florals Embossing Folder

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen this amazing embossing folder? I absolutely love it… And it’s perfect for making super quick but stunning cards!

This is 3D folder, so make sure you follow the directions on your die cutting machine to get the right sandwich!

I just used Basic White cardstock so I could add colour, but this could easily have been subbed for any cardstock of your choice.

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

I’ve added colour with blending brushes, selecting areas of the embossing for each colour.

This combo is Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia with Gray Granite.

The sentiment is from a Sale-a-bration set and cut with these cute Everyday Details dies.

Here’s another version using Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath with Crumb Cake… A much softer look!

And here’s another with bold blue flowers! This technique is definitely one to have fun with!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Vintage Style Card Topper using the Perennial Postage Bundle

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m creating something a little different. The vintage look isn’t my usual style but I thought it suited this card design.

The Perennial Postage Bundle combines pretty all occasion sentiments and this fantastic set of dies.

I used six of the smallest squares to create a topper, layered with Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stocks.

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

I used Pecan pie ink to stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the squares to match the card base.

Some twine, gems and sequins finished off the topper which was adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
