Eiffel Tower with Parisian Blossoms

After I made the card I posted last week I kept playing with the Parisian Suite to create some more sample cards.

This one showcases not only the iconic Eiffel Tower but also the stunning floral image from the stamp set called Forever Blossoms.

An embossed, stitched rectangle panel created a mat for me to add the images.

The blossom flower was coloured with blends and the I added some champagne rhinestones to complete the cards. I left this one without a sentiment so it can be used for any occasion.

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #14 - Follow Your Heart to Paris

Time for another Stampers Anonymous team blog hop! The first one for 2020! Thanks for clicking through to my blog.

The theme this month is to use brand new products from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue - super easy as there is so much inspiration in one catalogue!

I could not decide which suite to use because I wanted to use them all! But I knew I needed a card for my sister's birthday so I decided to use the Parisian Blossoms suite. My sister and her family had a trip to Europe last year and visited Paris so I knew she would love all the elements on this card!

The Parisain Blossoms designer series paper (DSP) is soooo pretty - it has gorgeous champagne foil accents throughout and the images are beautiful. It is the kind of paper you just want to touch and admire.

I used pool party as my base card, layered with a strip of the gorgeous DSP then I added some die cut elements - the swirl in pool party and the Eiffel Tower in silver foil (as I don't appear to have any champagne foil - shock horror!) The sentiment is stamped in pool party.

Don't miss getting your hands on this suite, it's truly breathtaking!

Red and Green Birthday Poppies

Another fun poppy card - this time a bit more subdued but still just as pretty.

I started with a base of soft sea foam cardstock then added a strip of the peaceful poppies dsp. The white focal image is die cut from the stitched nested labels dies.

I used one of the background stamps in the painted poppies stamp set to create some interest behind the white die cut panel.

Peaceful Poppies Element Kit

Another fun part of the Peaceful Poppies suite is the Peaceful Poppies Elements. A fun selection of die cut accents including water colour pieces and vellum.

I have used a few on this card starting with the poppies and the black panel at the bottom. I have used a small piece of the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper and a sentiment punched out with the Label Me Fancy punch.

The small white panel under the sentiment is a die from the Painted Labels dies.

Happy Birthday with Poppies

I needed to restock my stash of birthday cards so this is one we are doing in class this week. I just adore this Poppy bundle and it was the first stamp set I inked up when my pre-order arrived!

This is a brand new suite in the mini catalogue called Peaceful Poppies and it is HUGE! 2 stamp sets, 2 coordinating dies, stunning designer series paper, ribbon, embellishments and more!

I first stamped the larger poppy stamp randomly over the poppy parade cardstock using versamark ink. This created a really soft background. I then layered 2 pieces of the peaceful poppies designer series paper using the poppies as my focal point.

I have stamped the watercolour 'splodge' with old olive ink - I stamped it off once onto scrap paper then onto the cardstock for a lighter look. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set which is part of this suite.

I punched out the sentiment using the new Label Me Lovely punch - I love this shape!

My ribbon bow is made using a piece of the whisper white crinkled seam binding that I coloured with stampin blends - I love that we can colour our ribbons to coordinate our projects perfectly.

Happy Koalas - Bonanza Buddies

How fun are these Koalas? They are from a new suite called Birthday Bonanza. Such a bright, happy fun set full of fun animals, sentiments and party accessories. And the dies help create these fun critters quickly and easily!

I cased a card from one of team members Kylie Page @ Stampers Workshop (go check out her blog she does AMAZING work) and it is also one of the sample cards on the catalogue.

I did change my card slightly as I was limited on supplies at the time but I still love the result!

This will make a fun card for a class as it is really easy to make and something everyone can't help but smile at.
