Using the Heartfelt Stamp Set for the First Time!

Hello Everyone,

I have had this stamp set tucked away for the longest time and I’ve finally inked it up!

I stuck with a classic pink and grey colour combination, using Flirty Flamingo and Gray Granite inks!

I used rhinestones to bring the design together and add some sparkle!

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

This was my first sample using Blushing Bride and Basic Gray!

Stock is selling out fast… Don’t miss out!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Just for Fun Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

This project was made as a bit of fun after a little Facebook Challenge so I recreated the card in a different colour way.

I chose Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay, (never sure if this a blue or a green?)

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

The original colour challenge used Merry Merlot, Real Red and Magenta Madness!

The vellum helps to diffuse the brightness of the pink.

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.

Joy to the World

Hello Everyone,

With just three weeks til Christmas, I thought there may be some last minute cards to make, so here’s something that easy to make either as a one off or as a batch….

In the video tutorial I show just one card being made, but the background could be stamped over a full sheet of card stock and trimmed down to make four card fronts.

I wonder which colour combo you like best?

Thinking of You in Merry Merlot

Hello Everyone,

I wonder if can guess which stamp set I’ve used to make today’s card project?

Often, our focus is on the largest image in a set and may deter us from purchasing it…..

In this case, Life is Beautiful features a large tree, but I loved the other images in the set.

I’ve also pulled in these lovely labels dies from the Hippo and Friends set.

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

My first sample used Bermuda Bay. I definitely think the additional layer of coloured cardstock improved the design.

Snowflake Masked Panels

Hello Everyone,

This was definitely one of those projects that turned out way better than I thought it would!

I’ve used some fun pinks and purples for a different look.

Masking off areas of the cardstock keeps them crisp and white without adding additional layers.

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

Here’s the original card in more traditional winter colours….

So which is your favourite?

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!

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.

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!

Hello Everyone,

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

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.
