Textured Card using the Queen Bee Dies

Hello Everyone,

Sometimes I like to “go to town” on a card project! So this card is packed with texture from a bunch of dies cuts and I’ve thrown in some hest embossing too!

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

A variety of green cardstocks were used to make the wreath background which was embellished with Rich Razzleberry flowers.

This version uses a Sahara Sand card base and Highland Heather flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #135 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another Inspire.Create.Challenge!

Challenge #135 is a sketch challenge! A sketch gives you an idea from which to build a card layout which can really help with crafter’s block!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below… We’d love to see your makes!

I have used the Petal Park bundle for my project today.

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

The punch allowed me to create a cluster of flowers with lots of texture!

Using a blending brush over the embossed background brings out the details of the design!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Creative Colour Challenges #33 feat. Shaded Summer Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,Today’s card is for last week’s Creative Colour Challenge run by Vickie Lou Designs….Find out more and participate HERE

I am working with the Shaded Summer stamp set and coordinating Summer Shadows dies for my project.

This is a variation on yesterday’s Inspire.Create.Challenge design team post!

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

First, second and third generation stamping was used to create the background.

The Double Oval punch not only cut the sentiment, but also served to introduce the final colour in the combo!

This version uses a Crumb Cake card base. Love this one!

Here is what the original cards looked like….

Monday Colour Challenge with the Waterfront stamp set

Hello Everyone,

It’s colour challenge Monday…. This one had me thinking!

I decided to use the Waterfront stamp set. This set is one of my older sets, and it’s a real possibility that this will retire when the new annual catalogue launches in May! Watch this space for more info!

This layout uses first, second and third generation stamping to create depth with a single colour ink pad.

See how I made my card in my video tutorial…

I hope you liked my tip on using the ink pad to make the edge of the panel more defined.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Super Fast Cards with Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper

Hello Everyone,

The end of Sale-a-bration is fast approaching so I have some super fast cards to share today!

I’ve chosen the Oh So Ombre paper to work with but you could use this simple layout with any of the patterned papers available.

The topper uses the Approaching Perfection stamp set which is also part of the promotion.

I did not add any extra ribbons or embellishments to these samples, the idea was to keep them very simple on this occasion.

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

I made this card using all four colours in the Oh So Ombre collection!

Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss are two of my favourite colours!

And here are the Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green versions!

Do you have a favourite?

Hello Everyone,

I usually share projects made with a single bundle or suite, but today I’m mixing and matching!

I’ve worked with the Art Gallery bundle and the Playing with Patterns designer series paper.

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

Cardmaking with the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper

Hello Everyone,

Something completely different to my usual style today, but it thought I’d give it a go!

There’s no real “formula” that I used for the measurement of each piece of paper, I just went with what I thought looked good!

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

I resisted adding any embellishments as I thought this could be given to a guy too!

Here is the original card. The layers are slightly different, swapping the Calypso Coral and Misty Moonlight.

All the “C”s Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Wow… What a challenge this was!

I was completely thrown by the Coastal Cabana but I like the end result! Ideally I think I would have used this as my layer instead of the Crushed Curry!

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

I’m still unsure whether I prefer the Coastal Cabana or Crushed Curry resin dots – what do you think?
