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.

Onstage Samples - Praiseworthy Prose bundle

I have finally made time to share in more detail the sample cards I made for my Onstage presentation in Auckland. I was so lucky to receive the Praiseworthy Bundle to play with. It is a beautiful stamp set with dictionary style sentiments. 

The dies are fabulous - lower case letters in a lovely font. I will be getting a lot of use from these!  

These dies and stamp set will be available to order with the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue which goes live June 4th 2019. Make sure you look out for them (page 109).

These three cards are the ones I showcased during my presentation. I made more samples for the display boards that I will share over the next few weeks. (I got a bit carried away!) 

For this eclipse card I embossed a panel of water colour paper with the subtle embossing folder then used my aquapainters and ink pads to create a water colour wash. I love the effect of this. Then I cut out the die letters and pieced them back into the cardstock. 

I love this Family card - the cute little dog house from the Happy Tails set. I have kept a monochromatic look with coatal cabana and bermuda bay. I have used the background beehive pattern in the stamp set to make a strip down the left hand side then added layers of stitched rectangle dies to give it texture and dimension.   

This card uses the same monochromatic look but this time I have chosen to die cut the letter 'f'' and then mount the white panel onto a gorgeous grape square die cut to add some interest. Again I have used the background stamp to create a patterned piece. 

I love these sentiments and they fit so well with the rectangle stitched dies (one of my all time favourite dies!) and my much loved Subtles embossing folder.
