Mini Cards with the Peony Garden Suite

Hello Everyone,

We are making some mini cards today!

These were hiding in a drawer so I thought I would get them used up… Though these are no longer available in the online store, these could be made from white card stock or scaled up for a regular card base.

The cards are really easy to put together. You can see the process in my video tutorial….

With lots of designs in the Peony Garden paper collection there are lots of ways to create these simple cards.

Stop by tomorrow for another Peony Garden project!

Sale is still on!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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

The original colour challenge used Merry Merlot, Real Red and Magenta Madness!

Going Vintage with the Joyful Holly stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I love this stamp set so much, I’m very sad it will be retiring in January.

So here’s something a little different. All the projects I have created with this set have used traditional red and green colour combinations. This time I’m going for a vintage look!

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

The Merry Merlot berries were a great addition to this design and the champagne rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

Project Share Project Blog Hop – Fancy Fold Card

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop.

Links the other Project Share Project Fancy Folds are below, or use the next button at the bottom of this post!

Gez Carpenter: Nigezza Creates

Heather Forgan: Stamp With Nellie

Jill Chapman: Paper Daisy Crafting

This month’s theme really got me thinking….. Many of you will know I’m not one for anything fancy, but nevertheless, I have managed to make this card!

Measurements (inches):

Whisper White Base card 5-7/8 x 6-1/4 scored on long side at 4-1/8

DSP 5-3/4 x 4 and 2 pieces 5-3/4 x 2

Whisper White Inner card 5-3/8 x 7-1/4 scored on long side at 3-5/8

DSP 3 pieces 5-1/4 x 3-1/2

If you are using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to add panels, you will also need to cut 4 pieces of DSP 3-5/8 x 2-1/2

You can see how to make this card in my video tutorial….

I love how the different designer series papers work together!

The inside portion folds out. Leave a panel blank for your own handwritten message!

The little bit of extra stamping around the main greeting adds interest without adding bulk.

Joy to the World

Hello Everyone,

With just three weeks til Christmas, I thought there may be some last minute cards to make, so here’s something that easy to make either as a one off or as a batch….

In the video tutorial I show just one card being made, but the background could be stamped over a full sheet of card stock and trimmed down to make four card fronts.

I wonder which colour combo you like best?

Simple Blending with the Bloom and Grow Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a while since I did some colouring with my Stampin’ Blends markers……

Here is a lovely card using the Bloom and Grow stamp set. This one is a great set to start practicing your colouring technique.

Each set of markers has a light and dark shade, making it super easy to achieve a blended look.

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

Thinking of You in Merry Merlot

Hello Everyone,

I wonder if can guess which stamp set I’ve used to make today’s card project?

Often, our focus is on the largest image in a set and may deter us from purchasing it…..

In this case, Life is Beautiful features a large tree, but I loved the other images in the set.

I’ve also pulled in these lovely labels dies from the Hippo and Friends set.

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

My first sample used Bermuda Bay. I definitely think the additional layer of coloured cardstock improved the design.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Snowflake Masked Panels

Hello Everyone,

This was definitely one of those projects that turned out way better than I thought it would!

I’ve used some fun pinks and purples for a different look.

Masking off areas of the cardstock keeps them crisp and white without adding additional layers.

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

Here’s the original card in more traditional winter colours….

So which is your favourite?

Partridge in a Pear Tree

Hello Everyone,

I finally gave in and made a partridge in a pear tree card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle.
