I love cherry trees. In my local area, there are quite several cherry trees. I love watching them come into bloom. This is my ode to those cherry trees. The Frosted Forest bundle includes a stamp set, dies and layering stencils that make colouring easy.

This would make a great graduation or passing exam card. The books are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, an alcohol-friendly ink. They are coloured using Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, one of my favourite colouring mediums for quick and easy colouring.

Aren’t these mini handbags the cutest? I love them. They each hold a mini pad of sticky notes. Such a cute gift for any stationery lover. I don’t know about you, but I have always loved stationery. All the bright colours and pretty designs. I was that girl at school with a pencil case full of pretty pencils and rubbers.

I made a mistake in the video with the measurements. The correct ones are below.

measurements

  • Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP) – 7 1/2″ X 5 1/2″
    • Scored at 2 ” & 5 1.2″ on the longer side and 2″ & 3″ on the shorter side.
  • Pretty Peacock Cardstock – 3″ X 2″, scored at 1 1/4″ from either end on the 3″ side.
  • Pretty Peacock Cardstock – 1/2″ strip x 11 3/4″. X 2 pieces

Simple Card – Just a Note – Tearing Technique

Don’t be afraid to tear your paper. It is a great cardmaking technique. The direction you tear the paper will determine whether you see the core of the cardstock or paper. The lovely white edge helps the two patterns pop against each other. I’ve paired it with some twine and a sentiment for a simple card design.

This is a great idea to use up those scraps of paper we all have in our stash. These papers all come from the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP) so they match perfectly. This paper is a freebie during sale-a-bration (SAB). For every qualifying purchase, you can choose a free item from the SAB catalogue. This was one of mine. The die-cut sentiment is from the Wanted to Say dies, a firm favourite of mine.

Measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.
  • Blooms Impressions DSP – 10 strips each measuring 14.35cm X 1cm.

I enjoy making little gift boxes and bags. They are bespoke and a wonderful way to make a gift extra special. This box is pizza style box. I haven’t made one for a while so I thought I would revisit it with you today. The paper is the Perennial Lavender designer series paper (DSP) and matches the lavender card I shared a few days ago.

I love floral cards. This is the Painted Lavender bundle. It evokes the lavender fields of Provence. Unfortunately, I have bad hay fever, so I must admire it from afar. The background felt sparse, so I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder to add texture and interest without detracting from the focal image.

Instead of stamping a sentiment I used one from the Saying Something ephemera pack. You don’t have to handstamp everything on the card, it gives added interest to mix and match, do you agree?

I love the simplicity of this Valentine’s card. The cardstock is Melon Mambo, but the colour does not show up very well on camera. Heat embossing is a good way to get text to pop on coloured cardstock. The stamping and dies are from the Hearts of Elegance bundle. This is a current online exclusive. I’ve used the Cute Crochet 3D embossing folder to give interest in the background.
