The layer was then matted with some Blueberry Bushel card stock and adhered to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and trimmed to size. The width matched that of the card layer. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

A number of snowflakes were die cut and adhered with Multipurpose glue.

Coming Soon…..

Hi Everyone,

I have exciting news. 1st November sees the release of limited edition stamps and dies.

As a demonstrator, I have been able to purchase this early, and as you know, I adore snowflakes for Christmas card making.

This is the idea I am sharing today using a non traditional colour scheme.

First, I stamped the small snowflake cluster across the card using versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder.

Soft Sea Foam ink was applied over the top with a sponge dauber.

The sentiment was also stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink and cut with the Everyday Label Punch.

The large snowflake was die cut from Whisper White card stock. I then embellished with faceted dots.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Thank You #GDP161

Good Morning,

I love a colour challenge. Here’s this week’s Global Design Project’s selection.

See what the design team have made here

I am not generally a fan of yellow, so the Crushed Curry card stock has been pushed back behind the main card layer.

Leaves from the Colourful Season stamp set were added down the side of the panel. First, second and third generation ink added texture.

Pumpkin Pie card stock was cut with the Thank You Thinlit. A circle of vellum was put under the sentiment to lift it from the background.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Just Add Ink #431 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning,

Another sketch challenge coming at ya today courtesy of the Just Add Ink team.

You can see what the design team have made on the blog here

So….. I decided to put a “twist” on the sketch, mainly because I didn’t like the origin orientation with the design I chose.

I began by embossing a card layer with the Curls and Swirls embossing folder, and adhering this to a white card base.

A 1-1/4 inch strip of Frosted Floral DSP was adhered to some white card stock. Half a pearlized doily was then added to the back. The strip was then added to the card with dimensionals.

The additional elements were stamped with Mint Macaron or Highland Heather inks and Die cut with the coordinating Framelits. These were secured with a mix of Multipurpose glue and dimensionals.

Some basic adhesive sequins finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed below.

Just Add Vellum challenge #429

Hi Folks,

This week the Just Add Ink challenge is to add Vellum!

You can see inspiration from the design team here.

I love using Vellum… It is the perfect accent to add to the background of this card design.

Most of the design elements are all from the Falling Flowers stamp set and coordinating May Flowers dies.

I started by positioning a vellum die cut, securing it with some snail adhesive.

Flowers and leaves were stamped with Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam inks respectively. These were die cut and adhered with Multipurpose glue.

A rhinestone was added to each flower centre.

The sentiment from Wood Words was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink and cut using a 1-1/8 Scalloped circle punch.

Three Boats #GDP158

Hi there Everyone,

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for a Global Design Project challenge.

This week is a sketch challenge and as usual the design team have made some wonderful projects to inspire us. See them all here!

I have pulled out the Lilypad Lake bundle. I liked the idea of having three little boats across the card.

I chose a neutral card base of Sahara Sand. A piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper was adhered to the base with SNAIL adhesive.

Sahara Sand ink was used to stamp the water on to a strip of Whisper White card stock. Some silver baker’s twine was tied around the piece before adding to the card with dimensionals.

The boats were stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers to complement the paper in the background.

The sentiment was also stamped with Memento Ink and cut in to strips.

Some adhesive backed sequins were added to the background.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.
