Creating Floral Cards with Punches

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to bring you some cards that feature some of the amazing punches!

My personal favourites are the florals and foliage.

Here I am using the Medium Daisy, Small Bloom and Sprig Punches.

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

The Rectangular Postage Stamp punch worked well with the sentiment from the Fancy Phrases stamp set.

Here is the original pink version ….

And here is another version I made for a colour challenge.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Simple Stampin’ with Borders and Backgrounds

Hello Everyone,

It’s all about the stamping for today’s card project.

Here I have used the Borders to Backgrounds stamp set. The colour inspiration is from a just for fun Facebook colour challenge.

The sentiment is from Sweet Ice Cream, but of course this can be swapped for something else in your crafty stash!

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

Blending over the stamped sentiment ties the design together beautifully!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Stamped Background using the Inspiring Iris stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I fancied creating my own stamped panel today.

The great thing about this is how customisable it is…. These flowers could be any colour or indeed left uncoloured to suit your project.

I have used Sahara Sand, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam as my subtle colour palette.

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

I used a slightly different ribbon on the original card, but felt it was a bit lost on the busy background.

Champagne rhinestones really finish them off, so pretty!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Tiled Background with the Stamparatus

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’ve been loving the different backgrounds I have been making this week.

Here’s another with the Today’s Tile stamp set.

I used the Stamparatus tool to line up the images as seen in my video tutorial…

This is the Gray Granite version which was finished with champagne rhinestones.

The two Grey’s look so different when they are side by side. Which do you prefer?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Blended Lace

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today’s featured products are the Bird Ballad laser cut cards.

Some Very Vanilla card stock was cut to size. Stampin’ Sponges were used to colour the card stock starting in the centre. This card uses Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo inks.

The second combo used Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay inks.

The centre colour was used to stamp the sentiment which was cut with the 2″ circle punch. This was adhered to a Starburst punched from the combo colour.

Finally, some Small Blooms were punched, shaped and adhered to the card with multipurpose glue. Champagne rhinestones completed the cards.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Since publishing this post, I made a video for the technique…

Lovely Lipstick Friendship Card

Hello Everyone,

Have you checked out the Last Chance products yet?

The new annual catalogue launches next month which means making room in the warehouse and retiring some products.

There are a few things to consider when looking at the list;

1. Bundles will retire, but may still be available as individual items in the new catalogue.

2. 2018 In Colours and anything with those colours included, (DSP, ribbon, embellishments etc.) will retire…. But don’t worry new colours are on the way!

3. Individual Stampin’ Blends markers will no longer be available.

You can view the retiring products here

So this card uses retiring items, Lovely Lipstick ink and card stock, Best Dressed DSP and the Honey Bee stamp set.

The DSP panel measures 2 by 5 inches and was adhered to Lovely Lipstick card stock cut 1/8 inch larger on both sides.

I adhered this panel to a preprepared card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set was stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies…. Thankfully these dies are staying, I use them so much!

A scattering of clear rhinestone jewels finished off the card.

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

Feel Good Wishes

Hello Everyone,

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily overlooked but I think it makes some incredibly lovely yet simple cards.

I cut the card layer a quarter inch smaller than usual and adhered this to a Rococo Rose card base.

Leaves were stamped with Soft Seafoam ink, with an additional image die cut and layered over the top.

The beautiful sentiment was added using Blackberry Bliss.

Some Champagne rhinestones completed the card.

Keeping it Simple – Part 5

Hello Everyone,

If you follow my blog you will have seen that I have doing a series of simple cards with minimal supplies.

The card base was made with Whisper White card stock.

I added a smaller panel layered with Rick Razzleberry card stock with Polka Dot Tulle tied around the middle.

On some scrap card, I stamped some leaves. I cut two portions with the Tailored Tag Punch. I also stamped and punched the sentiment.

The pieces were positioned a bit like a jigsaw puzzle around the knot of the ribbon using dimensionals.

A few rhinestones finish the card!

Keeping it Simple – Part 4

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to part 4 of this series all about keeping it simple. Limited supplies doesn’t mean limited options!

So today, it is the layout that has been changed, opting for a square stamped panel as the focal point.

As before, I used Rich Razzleberry Ink to stamp the leaves from the Tropical Chic stamp set and layered this on to matching card stock.

The tulle ribbon was wrapped and tied around the panel before adhering to a white card base with dimensionals.

Also, as before, the sentiment was cut with the Tailored Tag Punch and some rhinestones finished the card.

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

Keeping it Simple – Part 3

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another keep it simple card….

This time I have added a punch to the supply list and used a simple stamping technique to get more from a single ink pad.

The background panel has been stamped with second generation ink…. This means inking the stamp, stamping on to scrap card and then using the second impression on the project. This gives a lighter shade without buying extra ink colours.

The Tailored Tag Punch was used to cut the sentiment.

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