Let it Ride


I cased today's card from someone quite a while ago now - but I cant remember who sorry!  

It showcases the beautiful horse from Let it Ride. 

I used watercolour paper and inks to blend the colours in the background before stamping the horse in black ink. The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in versamark ink then heat embossed with white embossing powder. 

I love this card! You can use any colour combination you wish.

Hello Beautiful - Floral Romance and Butterfly Gala


This stunning Floral Romance paper has been a real favourite of mine and is retiring like all the other designer series paper. Gosh I am going to miss it - especially the vellum sheets. 

This card showcases just one of the vellum sheets. I have added two butterflies that I stamped in memento black ink then sponged fresh fig ink over the top. I used the sponge daubers for this. 

A cute little sentiment and a little ribbon and my card was complete! 

If you love this designer series paper AND the fresh fig as much as me make sure you get your hands on them ASAP as after 31st May it will be gone forever :(

Copper Tea Tins

I love the copper tea tins and find myself using them a lot for small gifts. The packaging always gets a 'wow' reaction!

When I was in Auckland I found some beautiful wool gloves for my Mum for Mother's Day that happened to fit perfectly into a copper tins.




I was able to use the new Magnolia Lane designer series paper and the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and dies to create a sweet belly band.

Simple and so elegant.

Kelly's Stamping Friends Birthday Blog Hop



Hello friends and welcome to Kelly's Stamping Friends Birthday Hop! Thanks for stopping by. 

This week it's all about my gorgeous friend Kelly Kent - a super talented paper crafter, and sweet friend. A few years ago Kelly started a tradition of a blog hop for her birthday and it has now become an annual event! 

So Happiest of Birthdays to you Kelly!!

My card is one I had to case as soon as I saw it. It was created by Stesha Bloodhart (who also gave credit to Patty Bennett)  I was super excited to see that she had a detailed post which included instructions on how she made her card. That made my life a bit easier this week as my desk time has been limited after hurting my back!

I had been playing with brand new product and I have been looking for ideas to showcase the stunning new designer series paper called Mosaic Mood which I was lucky enough to receive as a gift at Onstage in Auckland last month. 

The paper is so nice to work with. One side is glossy and the patterns are lush! It has that mosaic tile look and feel to it. 


There was a fair bit of fussy cutting out the birds, flowers and butterfly from the designer series paper. It's not something I do a lot of but for this card I did! The layers help add dimension to the card along with numerous stampin dimensionals!!   

I didn't have any of the wooden pieces that were on the original card and I played around with a few ideas but ended up just leaving the card as is.  



The sentiments come from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. 

Next up on the blog hop is Rachael Lewsley. Click on the 'next' button to see her creation.
