With Deepest Sympathy

Hello Everyone,

It is a sad reality that not all the cards we make and send are for happy events. There is comfort however, that even at these sad times, a beautiful handmade card can be created.

I used a simple layout, starting by stamping a Whisper White card panel with an image from the Verdant Garden stamp set and Smoky Slate ink.

The panel was layered with Basic Grey card stock and some Polka Dot Tulle was wrapped around the middle. This was adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments set and was stamped with Smoky Slate ink. This was then die cut and also added to the card with 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’!

Blue Tiles

Hello Everyone,

Photopolymer stamp sets are so easy to use, especially when lining up images like this.

Here I have used the Verdant Garden stamp set to create this tile effect.

Again, j am using up some remaining Blueberry Bushel card stock for the card base.

Balmy Blue ink was used first, stamping the image across a white layer. Blueberry Bushel ink was used fill in the gaps with the compliment image from the set.

Polka Dot Tulle, (not retiring!), was added around the layer before adhering it to the card base.

The sentiment was taken from the Honey Bee stamp set and cut with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly die, (also staying!).

I hope you enjoyed this project.

A Wonderful Couple

Hello Everyone,

Wedding season is in full swing and this card has been made with a special couple in mind.

The background layer was stamped with Verdant Garden and heat embossed with silver powder.

A vellum layer softened the background a little before adding a final layer of Whisper White. This had been stamped with the sentiment using Smoky Slate ink.

The large Magnolia was stamped and coloured with watercolour pencils. After die cutting the image, I applied versamark ink over the top and heat embossed it with clear powder to give a glazed effect.

Inspire.Create #049

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my 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!

I prepared a Basic Grey card base and added a white card layer.

A smaller layer was used to stamp a background with Pool Party Ink using the Verdant Garden stamp set. This was matted on to more Basic Grey card stock and adhered to the card base.

Mango Melody ink was used to stamp the floral from the To a Wild Rose stamp set. The centre portion was stamped again and layered onto the first.

The sentiment was stamped with Basic Grey ink and tucked behind the flower.

As finishing touches, I added some die cut leaves, frosted epoxy dots and some Wink of Stella Glitter.

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.

Verdant Garden

Hello Everyone,

It’s not long until we will be welcoming a new Stampin’ Up Annual Catalogue. This year it is better than ever!

Do you want one? Leave me a message and I will send one out free of charge.

So today I have a sneak peek at a new set called Verdant Garden and maybe a couple of new In Colours too!

This set can be used to make backgrounds with the 2 step Stamping technique.

I chose Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile. They go together so well!

The Photopolymer material allows the images to be lined up by looking through the acrylic block.

I added a simple sentiment from the same set using Memento Ink. I cut this with a Stitched Rectangle die which I added with 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.

Don’t miss out on these last chance items…. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!
