New Beginnings

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen this stamp set in the Sale-a-bration catalogue? This is currently available for free as a bundle with an embossing folder with a qualifying order!

I’ve combined the set with the Peaceful Poppies DSP for an oriental feel.

I used Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends to colour the kimono to match the paper.

Stitched Rectangle dies were used to cut the image, sentiment and the skinny frame.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Butterfly Grove

Hello Everyone,

Today I am revisiting a favourite set from the annual catalogue for a colour challenge;

This one had me stumped and this was the third attempt at something I liked. I think the Grapefruit Grove was the sticking point but found a way to use it without overpowering the design.

I stamped the butterflies with Night of Navy ink. Seaside Spray and Coastal Cabana inks were used to fill in the images. These were cut with the coordinating punch.

Grapefruit Grove ink was used for the sentiment and cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

I built up the card layers and added the sentiment with dimensionals. Three butterflies were adhered with multipurpose glue with the wings bent up for extra texture.

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.

Watercolour Blossoms

Hello Everyone,

Another card for you today with lots of white space.

The cherry blossom was stamped with Stazon ink.

Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive watercolour pencils were used to colour the image.

A light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend Marker was used to outline the image and softened with a colourless lifter. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes.

The image was layered with Seaside Spray card stock before adhering to a white card base.

The sentiment strip was added with dimensionals.

Grace’s Garden

Hello Everyone,

I am so pleased with how this card turned out. It’s been in my head for some time!

I stamped the floral images I wanted to use on to some Whisper White card stock using Stazon black ink. The gate was stamped ith Memento ink. These were left to dry completely before colouring them.

Watercolour pencils were used to colour the flowers, smoothing out the lines with a blender pen.

I wanted the gate to be white, but added a touch of Ivory Stampin’ Blends marker for some depth.

All the pieces were die cut ready to adhere to the card.

A white card base was prepared by adding a layer of card stock which I coloured the edge of with a Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend Marker.

A final layer was stamped with a sentiment. The die cut pieces were added to the card using Snail and dimensionals.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Thank You Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I really love how this card turned out.

The design combines the So Sentimental bundle and Sale-a-bration items.

A Gray Granite card base was prepared and layered with white card stock.

Night of Navy ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

Flower centres were stamped in Daffodil Delight and Grapefruit Grove inks. The punch was used to cut the flowers to give white petals.

Before adhering, a few leaves were added first using Old Olive. The blooms were shaped and added with multipurpose glue.

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

CAS Colours and Sketches #356

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

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

I wanted to create something different…. And this is it!

I used the Tailored Tag punch to cut shapes from Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Silver Glimmer card stock. These were adhered to a piece of white card stock.

The excess was trimmed away and layered with more glimmer paper before adding to a white card base.

Real Red ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was also cut with the Tailored Tag punch. This was adhered with dimensionals.

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

Hello Everyone,

On first glance, the Lily Impressions designer series paper looks a bit crazy with so many bold colours…. But look how great this card looks!

DSP was adhered to a white card base.

Rich Razzleberry ink was used to stamp the sentiment and water lily images. These were cut with the Stitched So Sweetly and Lily Pad dies. An additional die cut was cut from Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was adhered first with dimensionals.

The water lily was coloured by pulling ink from the outline image with a Wink of Stella glitter brush. The die cut outline was adhered over the top and then added to the card.

CAS Colours and Sketches #355

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my entry for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.

This week there is a sketch to work with. The design team have created some very creative samples that you can see here

As I missed out on the previous week’s colour challenge, I’m throwing this in too just for fun!

And this is what I have designed.

I have used the Daisy Lane bundle from the annual catalogue.

I started by stamping the leaf from the set with Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was added to a white card base with dimensionals.

Daisies were stamped in Seaside Spray ink and punched out. These were adhered along the top of the stamped panel.

The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration set, Sending you Thoughts. I used Rococo Rose ink and cut these with a Stitched Rectangle die.

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

Parisian Blossoms 2 Ways

Hello Everyone,

I couldn’t decide on whether to use black or white card bases with this layout, so I made it with both.

Which do you prefer?

I used the usual card and DSP layers to build the card base.

The blossoms were stamped with matching ink on to the same colour card stock for a tone on tone look. Each was adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Pool Party ink on white card stock. For the black card, this was heat embossed with white powder. These were also adhered with dimensionals.
