Gorgeous Posies and Gorgeous Rococo Rose

Last week I showed you a Christmas card using the Gorgeous Posies stamp set. This was another of the cards we made. See how a simple change of colours really changes the look and theme of a card? 



I love Rococo Rose, it is such a lovely soft pink. And paired with smoky slate just looks classy to me!

The flowers were stamped in Rococo Rose and the centre stamen was stamped with rich razzleberry. The sentiment is from Best Year - I love the fonts in this set. 

The tasteful textile embossing folder creates a nice layer to the card and the banner punch makes flagging the ends of the card stock easy.  A liberal coating of wink of stella just because - glitter!

Christmas Holly - using an unusual stamp set!


Hello everyone! Each week for my classes I like to showcase one stamp set or bundle and make 3 different cards to show the versatility of it. 

And today I have a Christmas card for you that we made in class using a stamp set that you probably haven't even thought was Christmas like at all! 





And this stamp set is.......Gorgeous Posies! In the catalogue it is shown as the coordinating stamp set for the Gorgeous Posies kit (which is stunning BTW!) We made up the kit in class a few weeks prior and I promised my ladies I would come back with more card designs with this stamp set. 


Can you see that now you look at it with Christmas in mind there  are holly berries and a holly leaf? I found this idea on facebook - it was designed Jenni McCormac @ Jemini Crafts. I changed mine ever so slightly, changing the orientation and dies.     



It is quite a quick and easy design. Start by stamping randomly over a piece of Whisper White cardstock in real red and granny apple green. The 'dots' stamp is a great filler stamp for those white spaces in between the holly. 

The sentiment comes from Wrapped in Christmas and I used the stitched so sweetly dies to layer them on the card. This is a great design for making a bunch of Christmas cards with minimal supplies - why not give it a try?

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Tag Team!

Today I am blog hopping with my friends from the Around the World On Wednesday team. This month's theme is Tag Team - make two coordinating projects. 




My project for this hop is a little birthday gift bundle I made for a friend 2 weeks ago. I have seen a few similar designs on Pinterest but I think the original design was from one of the Artisan designers. I just love the black and white with a big hit of really bright colour! 

Both projects were quick to put together - colouring the peony flower was the longest step - but I find colouring so therapeutic I could do it for hours if required! My gift fitted perfectly into a the mini paper pumpkin box (which was a happy accident!) so I used the same design for the top of the box, using the Peony Garden designer series paper. 




Here is a closer view of the mini paper pumpkin box. I used the postage stamp punch to punch out the sentiment and added some 2020-2022 in colour enamel dots to the box. Both peony flowers were finished off with a liberal dose of wink of stella - I love this pen and use it on all my projects!


And I have a little tip for you - see the speckles on my card? I needed to cover up a little smudge on my card so I used my blends marker to gently flick colour onto the white cardstock - it fills in the white space and helps hide those little boo boos :)

Bright and Happy Sunflowers



Are you ready for a very bright and happy sunflower? Ok, so sunflowers are not usually hot pink (in this case Magenta Madness), but I love the card regardless! At least with card making we can change colours to suit our mood right?

This card was super simple to make as the dies do al the work for you. I simple stamped the large sunflower stamp randomly all over the base card and then die cut two of the sunflower layers - one in magenta madness and one in white. The sentiment is stamped onto white cardstock then added to the centre of the flowers. 

See it really is simple and yet makes a real statement. 

I have used this sunflower bundle so much and can't see me stopping anytime soon!

Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine is available - you are going to love it!

The new Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine is finally available for purchase! 

I was lucky enough to be able to pre-order one last month and I have to say I just love it for so many reasons. 

It is super stylish, cuts like butter, is smooth to roll dies through and much quieter than the old machine. It lso folds up easily for storage and transportation and as one of my customers said - wont collect as much dust! And the plates are numbered so can easily remember how the 'sandwich' goes together. 



 

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to use. 






There are the usual accessories to go with it such as a magnetic plate, replacement cutting plates and more shop now
