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!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Ombre Style Background with The Right Triangle Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

Something a bit different for today’s project.

You may well have seen my other projects featuring this stamp set, so I thought I would try another using one of the smaller images.

Inspire.Create #064

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

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

And this is what I created!

My choice of colour was Lovely Lipstick. I thought this would add some contrast to the otherwise neutral pallette.

The base card was prepared using Crumb Cake card stock. Layers of Night of Navy and White were cut with Stitched Rectangle dies.

I picked a bold sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set. This was cut with the coordinating die. Before sticking this down, I first added foliage images from the Pop of Petals stamp set and Crumb Cake ink.

Three flowers were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

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

Confetti!

Hello Everyone,

I have a lovely bright card to share today.

I picked out this cute paper as the background.

I cut a frame using the Stitched Rectangle dies and adhered this with mini dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink. This was also cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. This was positioned overhanging the frame.

Finally, some blooms were stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and punched out. An epoxy dot was coloured with a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend marker and added to the centres before adding to the card with multipurpose glue.

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.

Lily Pad Thank You

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.
