Inspiration from my Craft Table!

Hello Everyone,

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere…. And today’s card was inspired by some leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper that I discovered when tidying my craft table!

I decided to use the Art Gallery stamp set and dies to create the cards.

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

I love the pop of colour from the Polished Pink flower head!

This sample uses Pale Papaya, coordinating not only the DSP but the bloom too!

And here is Fresh Freesia!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

It’s as if Stampin’ Up! made this suite just for me! My favourite colour Blackberry Bliss, gorgeous gold ribbon and vellum and owls on the speciality paper and in the ephemera pack!

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

What I love the purples I’ve also used the Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider too, this combination is much more appealing in real life…

Here’s a close up of the original sample!

Triple Panel Card with Dragonfly Garden

Hello Everyone,

I’ve tried a different layout for today’s card, what do you think?

I’m really thrilled with the colour combination too, using the 2020 in colours which I absolutely love!

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

A touch of Wink of Stella on the dragonfly and some clear Elegant Faceted Gems add some twinkle for the recipient.

For this sample, I made the card base from Night of Navy card stock and stamped with Bumblebee and Just Jade inks!

Easy Cards with the Hand-penned Designer Series Paper

Hello Everyone,

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge really got me thinking about ways to use designer series paper… One of my current favourites is the Hand-Penned collection!

Using this layout it is possible to make 6 of these cards from a single 12 by 12 sheet of paper.

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

Whatever layout you choose, you can’t fail to make stunning cards with these papers … And just love Highland Heather!

The jury is still out for me on whether the die cut needs the extra colour…..

These are the results with a different design from the paper pack! The main colour in this design is Pale Papaya.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Monday Colour Challenge with Under My Umbrella

Hello Everyone,

Here we are at Monday again and another colour challenge!

This week’s combo is;

  • Soft Suede
  • Shaded Spruce
  • So Saffron

I don’t use Soft Sueded and So saffron very often. After rummaging through the retiring stamp sets I settled on using Under My Umbrella to make a first floral background.

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

So what do we think? Which do you prefer? If I’d have had enough Shaded Spruce cardstock I would tried that too! Lol!

Here’s a close up of the So Saffron version!

Going Vintage with the Joyful Holly stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I love this stamp set so much, I’m very sad it will be retiring in January.

So here’s something a little different. All the projects I have created with this set have used traditional red and green colour combinations. This time I’m going for a vintage look!

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

The Merry Merlot berries were a great addition to this design and the champagne rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

The Year End Close out sales starts tomorrow!
