Partridge in a Pear Tree

Hello Everyone,

I finally gave in and made a partridge in a pear tree card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle.

I used a stamping off technique to get the mottled look for the pears.

See how in my video tutorial….

A touch of Wink of Stella on the pears gave them a frosty look!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

In the Pines

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project has a classic festive feel to it don’t you think?

I used a traditional colour combo of Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green to make the card.

See the process in my video tutorial….

The square vellum doily adds interest to the background without distracting from the other design elements.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Pretty Floral Thank You Card

Hello Everyone,

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Instagram by @annenkortit

I thought the layout of her card was really pretty, I hope I have done it justice!

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

I love the grey and green colour combination! What do you think?

My original interpretation had a more festive feel, using Poinsettia dies instead of the small bloom punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Do More with Designer Series Paper

Hello Everyone,

Let me ask you… Have you got Designer Series Paper in your stash that you just don’t like? I mean, I know it’s rare but maybe it’s just not your favourite colour.

Have you considered stamping on it? Or even heat embossing it like I have today?

This simple modification has turned what could have been a very plain card in to something more interesting.

See the whole process in my video tutorial….

The Artistry Blooms sequins tone in to the colour of the paper beautifully.

Here are the original samples. The blue version used clear embossing powder, but I felt it didn’t have as much impact as the white.

I’d love to know if you give this a try!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,

Following on from yesterday’s post, here’s another way to make lots of cards fast!

And if there’s one time of year when we need lots of cards, it’s Christmas!

You don’t need a ton of products either… I’ve added some layers to my card sample, but these could be left out.

The Stamparatus is a fantastic tool that will help a beginner stamper get amazing results.

See how in my video tutorial….

I’d love to know if you give this a try and whether you love the Stamparatus as much as I do!

One Sheet Wonder with Forever Fern

Hello Everyone,

So today I’m rising to the challenge to create a stamped one sheet wonder ….

I have chosen to work with the Forever Fern stamp set, basically because I love it, and offers a variety of images in different sizes to build up the design…..

The technique allows you to make at least four card fronts really quickly.

See the process in my video tutorial….

There are lots of options to customise the technique. Change the colours, images, sentiments, punches etc.

Let’s see what you come up with?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Monochromatic Cards featuring the Lovely You stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project demonstrates that beautiful cards can be made with limited supplies.

Monochromatic designs can still have depth and interest by using second generation ink, blending and layering.

The stamped border has been heat embossed to add texture, but this step could be left out!

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

Here is my sample made with Just Jade.

The sentiment could be punched or cut down with a paper trimmer.

Tell me which is your favourite and if you try this I’d love to see them!
