Pigment Sprinkled Yuletide Cheer

Hello Everyone,

Do you like “messy” crafting? This is the technique for you!

Pigment Sprinkles are water reactive crystals packed with colour so a little goes a long way! They come in a pack of 6, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody.

To create a background, I misted some watercolour paper with clean water. Pigment was sprinkled over the top.

The piece was dried thoroughly with a heat gun. The paper will curl but is easily flattened under a heavy book.

Snowflakes were die cut from Shimmery White card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white powder on Vellum.

A piece of Bermuda Bay card stock was adhered behind the sentiment to make it stand out.

Some frosted epoxy dots finished the card.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Butterflies for You #GDP191

Hello Everyone,

This week is a theme challenge at the Global Design Project!

See what the Design Team have created here.

……. And this is my project…..

I have used the Beauty Abounds bundle to create my project.

The bokeh dots in the set were stamped onto the background in Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo inks.

The largest Layering Squares dies were used to make the topper base. This was adhered flat to the card base.

Four of the smallest Stitched Squares were cut and added to the topper using dimensionals.

A sponge dauber was used to apply ink to some Whisper White card stock. The butterflies were stamped over top and die cut. These were adhered to each of the squares.

The simple sentiment was stamped below the topper in black ink.

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

More from Nature’s Poem

Hello Everyone,

While I had my Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper out yesterday I also made this card too!

I used a Mint Macaron card base with a Whisper White card layer.

Three Stitched Squares were cut and mounted on to some Mint Macaron card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with Mint Macaron ink and surrounded with leaves stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink. This was die cut with a Layering Circle die.

Inspire.Create #022

Good Morning!

Welcome to today’s blog post and my entry for the Inspire.Create Challenge.

This time there is a colour challenge….

The colours really lend themselves to a floral theme. This is what I created;

Shaded Spruce card stock was used to make the card base. Some Powder Pink designer series paper was adhered to the front.

I picked out some Layering Squares framelits to make the topper.

A Stitched Square framelit was used to cut some Whisper White card stock.

Shaded Spruce and Coastal Cabana inks were used to stamp the foliage images from the Abstract Impressions stamp set.

The flowers were then stamped with Powder Pink ink and coated with Wink of Stella glitter.

Finally, the sentiment was added underneath the topper.

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

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Christmas Wishes

Hi there Everyone,

I am sharing another quick and simple Christmas card with you.

On a white card layer, I stamped five little trees at the bottom with Garden Green ink. This was adhered to a black card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink, and die cut. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler scalloped square.

I added the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and tied a tiny bow from quilted ribbon.

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