In Colour Daisies

Hello Everyone,

Today I am using the Daisy Lane stamp set and the coordinating punches to make these cards.

The dominant colours are two of the retiring In Colours, Rococo Rose and Purple Posy.

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

Here is the Purple Posy version. Highland Heather is a good substitute for the Purple Posy ink.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Making More with the Today’s Tiles Bundle

Hello Everyone,

I wonder if you would’ve guessed which bundle I used to make this card?

This card was designed to show how to make the most of the smaller elements in a set.

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

It can be awkward to tie a bow with single sided ribbon. I hope you liked my tips on doing this!

I’d like to do another card using a single colour of cardstock to achieve a faux embossed look!

Did you spot these dies in the mini catalogue? I have to say it took me a while…. But so glad I did!

These beautiful flowers are so easy to make and aren’t they gorgeous!

See how to make this card in my video tutorial….

I really like the Stitched with Whimsy dies too. I used them to add some details to the background.

This sample is made with Rococo Rose cardstock. Both Pretty Peacock and Rococo Rose will retire in June!

Super Quick Pretty Cards with the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I am continuing with the quick and easy cards, this time using the fantastic Pretty Perennials stamp set!

With lots of elements that work together and some two step stamping too, this set is so versatile!

See the cardmaking process in my video tutorial….

With dozens of colours to choose from, this card can be made over and over again.

I did not add any embellishments or ribbon either, so imagine the possibilities for stepping up this simple layout.

Change the neutral colour to black, grey or Crumb Cake…..

Or use a different shade of green….

I wonder which is your favourite?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

New Colour Combo with Beautiful Friendship stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Yellow! Not my favourite colour, but I know many of you do, so I’m using Daffodil Delight as my starting point today.

After rummaging through my other ink pads, I decided to team this with Just Jade, (originally this was going to be Pear Pizzazz but I changed my mind!) and Rococo Rose.

See all the stamping in my video tutorial….

The black ink of the sentiment really pops from the other bright colours in this design.

In Colour Tulips

Hello Everyone,

If you have ever flown over The Netherlands, you will know colourful tulips can be!

All the current in colours are in use today, it won’t be long before we will be welcoming some new colours to the Stampin’ family.

The flower heads were stamped and punched in all the available colours except Call Me Clover. This was used for the stems and leaves.

All that was needed was a sentiment which I opted to stamp with Soft Suede ink. This particular sentiment seemed quite fitting given the current global pandemic!

Pretty Peacock Layers

Hello Everyone,

I tried something a little different for today’s project.

You will know I like to use a lot of white card stock so I sort of turned this one inside out, using coloured card layers instead.

I have used Pretty Peacock for my card layers. The smaller panel was adhered with dimensionals.

Feathers from the Royal Peacock die set were added to the topper.

I used a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set and cut this with a Stitched Square die.

Inspire.Create #046

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a colour challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

If I’m honest I wasn’t sure what I wanted to create to begin with, I don’t have all the ink colours. But I have the card stock! I already had these Stitched Rectangles left over from another project.

For some added interest, though it is not clear on the photos, I stamped the script image from the Very Versaille stamp set with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder.

The coloured rectangle was added towards the right hand side of the card with dimensionals.

I wanted a bold sentiment, I picked this one from Rooted in Nature.

This was stamped with Memento ink and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Each circle was mounted on to a Pearlized Doily.

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