Class treats with the stunning Dahlias

Today I am sharing some class treat I made using two of the FREE products you can earn during sale-a-bration. But remember this sale ends at the end of September so you only have a few more weeks to get your hands on these freebies. (while stocks last).

I have used the Delicate Dahlia stamp set and the Beautifully Penned DSP. I stamped the corner of the flower onto a panel cut using the Hippo and Friends dies. I then coloured it with flirty flamingo blends.

The box is simple make using half a piece of DSP. Inside I put some chocolate treats for my ladies.

A gift made just for me - the perfect addition to my studio!

Last weekend I held my first retreat at my studio and I was stunned to receive this gift as a thank you from one of my team members Lorraine - how spoilt am I? She knows me well, this is the perfect colour for me and my studio. I love all the bright, happy colours.

She has used the Daisy Lane stamp set and Daisy punch, lots of cardstock, bling and lots of wink of stella! And on top are some dragonflies.

So much love, time and effort has gone into it - and she assures me it is most definitely a one off!

A bright happy Dahlia

I love how as paper crafters we can create all sorts of flowers that icould never grow and make thenm any colour we fancy!

For this fun card I have stamped the Dahlia image in memento black then coloured it with Poloshed Pink blends. I then cut it out by hand (aka fussy cutting). I added it to the polished pink card base with a layer of embossed cardstock using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

After stamping the sentiment I used my blends to gently flick colour onto the white panel.

Remember this Delicate Dahlias stamp set can only be earned for FREE and only until the end of this month. Don't miss your chance, it's truly a stunning stamp set!

Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop #34

Today I am hopping with the Stampers Anonymous Team. This month we have a sketch challenge as above. I reached for the lovely Blackberry Beauty DSP as I love all the gold elements paired with the Blackberry Bliss cardstock - to me it looks really elegant.

Now I must apologise for the photo, I took it quickly as I was running late with my post and it isn't the best :( But you can still see the elements of the card and the stunning Blackberry Beauty DSP. There was not a lot of science to this card, I just eyeballed the measurements for the layers.

Shaded Summer and FREE Summer Shadow dies

I just love Stampin' Up! for it's coordination - it's one of the main things that attracted me to the company in the first place. And when that co ordination is FREE well - I am most certainly in!

And that is the case during sale-a-bration. We are able to earn the beautiful Summer Shadow dies that coordinate with the Shaded Summer Stamp set in the Annual catalogue.

I cased the card from Tracy Bradley - I loved the simplicity of this card. I won’t go into all the details as Tracy has a PDF you can download with comprehensive instructions.

Enjoy!

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Changing Seasons

After having a little break from this blog hop I am back! I am so happy to be hopping with these super talented girls, I am always so inspired by their creativity.

This month's theme is Changing Seasons. Here is Australia we have just emerged from Winter into Spring so for me it's all about flowers and sunshine. The mornings are still cool but warm up to mostly bright sunny days. My favourite time of the year.

So it's no surprise that my card involves flowers and bright, happy spring colours. I spied the pansy DSP on my shelf and knew what I wanted to create. I also happened to need a Birthday card for a friend so my card is for her.

I love this style of card. Not only does it have extra wow factor but it is also a great way to showcase all your favourite patterned pieces form the DSP pack.

Here I have used soft succulent as my card base then added some embossing and the die cut pansies. I love the Tasteful textile embossing folder. I used stampin' dimensionals under the flowers to give them some height then added the leaves underneath. The sentiment comes from the Shaded Summer stamp set which is die cut with the Smooth Sailing dies.
