Beautiful Bouquet vs Colourful Seasons

Hello Everyone,

Today is the final day of my doubling up week, I hope you have liked what I have sharing with you.

For this post I am using the same colour combo with two different stamp sets!

The first uses Beautiful Bouquet and the coordinating dies.

I started with a Grapefruit Grove card base and added layers of Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White card stock.

Flowers and leaves were stamped and die cut ready to add to the card. The sentiment was stamped with Soft Suede ink and die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly die set.

The elements were adhered to the card with dimensionals and a small bow was added.

My second card uses the same colours, but uses the Colourful Seasons stamp set instead. I do use the coordinating dies too but these are no longer available.

See how I created this card as it happened in the video below:

Blended Lace

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today’s featured products are the Bird Ballad laser cut cards.

Some Very Vanilla card stock was cut to size. Stampin’ Sponges were used to colour the card stock starting in the centre. This card uses Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo inks.

The second combo used Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay inks.

The centre colour was used to stamp the sentiment which was cut with the 2″ circle punch. This was adhered to a Starburst punched from the combo colour.

Finally, some Small Blooms were punched, shaped and adhered to the card with multipurpose glue. Champagne rhinestones completed the cards.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Coloured Blooms

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today I am using the Pocketful of Happiness stamp set. This is also reduced at the moment making it a real bargain too!

This card was stamped with Memento ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends.

The flowers feature over the base layer, softened with vellum.

Additional flowers were also fussy cut and adhered around the sentiment.

For card number 2, the flowers were stamped over the card layer with Stazon ink and coloured with watercolour pencils.

The panel was layered with black card stock and added to a white card base with dimensionals.

The same sentiment was stamped and cut with the Pretty Label Punch.

So which do you prefer? The vibrancy of markers or softness of watercolour pencils? It’s hard for me to choose!

Peacock Duo

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today, it’s the Royal Peacock stamp set and matching dies with Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel retiring In Colours.

For the first card, the peacock was stamped with the assistance of the Stamparatus, first with Blueberry Bushel for the head and body and Call Me Clover for the tail.

The details were heat embossed with copper powder, (also retiring), and then die cut.

Some additional feathers were die cut to embellish the sentiment. This was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The second card is completely different!

Four large feathers were die cut from Blueberry Bushel card stock and adhered together to form an oval-ish shape.

Stitched Square dies were used to cut the green frame and the stamped sentiment.

A few rhinestones added some extra interest to the background.

With Deepest Sympathy

Hello Everyone,

It is a sad reality that not all the cards we make and send are for happy events. There is comfort however, that even at these sad times, a beautiful handmade card can be created.

I used a simple layout, starting by stamping a Whisper White card panel with an image from the Verdant Garden stamp set and Smoky Slate ink.

The panel was layered with Basic Grey card stock and some Polka Dot Tulle was wrapped around the middle. This was adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments set and was stamped with Smoky Slate ink. This was then die cut and also added to the card with dimensionals.

Blue Tiles

Hello Everyone,

Photopolymer stamp sets are so easy to use, especially when lining up images like this.

Here I have used the Verdant Garden stamp set to create this tile effect.

Again, j am using up some remaining Blueberry Bushel card stock for the card base.

Balmy Blue ink was used first, stamping the image across a white layer. Blueberry Bushel ink was used fill in the gaps with the compliment image from the set.

Polka Dot Tulle, (not retiring!), was added around the layer before adhering it to the card base.

The sentiment was taken from the Honey Bee stamp set and cut with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly die, (also staying!).

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Birthday Bugs

Hello Everyone,

So this card turned out way better than I imagined it would!

The card features the retiring stamp set Wiggle Worm.

The little bugs were stamped with Memento ink so they could be coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I used Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight markers working from dark to light.

The body was coloured with Smoky Slate markers, with the dark marker used for the mouth.

Each was die cut and added to a layered card base in coordinating colours.

A sentiment was added with plain black ink and cut with the Label Me Fancy punch.

Lovely Lipstick Friendship Card

Hello Everyone,

Have you checked out the Last Chance products yet?

The new annual catalogue launches next month which means making room in the warehouse and retiring some products.

There are a few things to consider when looking at the list;

1. Bundles will retire, but may still be available as individual items in the new catalogue.

2. 2018 In Colours and anything with those colours included, (DSP, ribbon, embellishments etc.) will retire…. But don’t worry new colours are on the way!

3. Individual Stampin’ Blends markers will no longer be available.

You can view the retiring products here

So this card uses retiring items, Lovely Lipstick ink and card stock, Best Dressed DSP and the Honey Bee stamp set.

The DSP panel measures 2 by 5 inches and was adhered to Lovely Lipstick card stock cut 1/8 inch larger on both sides.

I adhered this panel to a preprepared card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set was stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies…. Thankfully these dies are staying, I use them so much!

A scattering of clear rhinestone jewels finished off the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Your Kindness

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card demonstrates that beautiful greeting cards can be made with minimal supplies.

This card features the Layered with Kindness stamp set which will retire when the new catalogue launches in June.

Granny Apple Green ink was applied to the stamp using a sponge dauber. I chose to also add some Shaded Spruce ink to the stems and base of the leaves for extra depth.

The sentiment was stamped with a contrasting colour, in this case, Lovely Lipstick. This was cut with the Timeless Label punch and added to the card with dimensionals.

April SU colour challenge

Hello Everyone,

Time for another colour challenge. This is a Facebook group challenge, just for fun, to stretch the creativity.

The flowers and foliage were added next and the panel was adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Call Me Clover ink and punched with the Pretty Label punch.

I have taken the opportunity to showcase some retiring products, Pop of Petals, Perennial Birthday, Four Petal Flower punch and the Leaf Punch.

You can see all the last chance products here along with links to the Early Release Product Medley and the Clearance Rack.

I stamped my own background layer with Pop of Petals and Mango Melody ink. This adhered to a Poppy Parade card base.

Coastal Cabana ink was used to add some leaves to separate layer and stamp the sentiment. I ran a Poppy Parade marker along the edge and adhered this with dimensionals.

Flowers were stamped with Poppy Parade ink and punched out. Multi purpose glue was used to secure them to the card.

Finally, some punched vellum leaves added some additional details and texture.
