Alternative Colourway with Abundant Beauty Masks!

Hi Everyone,

This has got to be one of my favourite cards this year… So pleased with the end result!

The feature product for this project is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, there are three backgrounds plus four layering elements to make these gorgeous sunflower style bloom.

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

Here you can see a more traditional colour combo using Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, with Copper Clay and Early Espresso!

I went a step further and tried another combo with Christmas in mind… I think I might need to work on what to do in the centres though.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Simple Stampin’ with the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

Super quick, simple stamping card today.

I made some little 3 by 3 cards in a similar way to swap with the rest of the Pootlers at our team retreat last weekend!

I love being part of Stampin’ Up! not just because of the great products but als the friendships I’ve made.

So if you’ve ever been tempted to join, now is a fab time with the 35-35 offer!

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

A circle punch creates a quick topper, but you could also use a die.

The new white ribbons in the mini catalogue were perfect to add texture, shimmer and shine.

Simple Card with the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

The weather is turning cooler and the autumn colours are starting to appear so I’ve pulled out this new stamp set for today’s card.

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

I love the shine the Copper ribbon adds to this project.

This one is made with Wild Wheat – not everyone’s favourite colour but works for this theme.

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

The colour combo blended beautifully to bring in some orange and green hues.

The sentiment panel was accented with iridescent ribbon and pearls.
