I missed the Paper Florist die set in the catalogue when I first looked. I saw a project made by a fellow demonstrator and then of course I had to have it. It is an amazing die set. There are so many different flower dies and you can use them in any combination to create a variety of flowers.

We made this card in card club recently and I loved choosing which flower combinations to use. You can make them in any colour variation you like. The world is your oyster with this flower set. Can you tell that I’ve fallen in love with it?

I love the Trucking Along punch. Firstly I love any punch and secondly, it’s a truck punch!! My granny always drove a pickup truck. I loved riding around in the back of the truck. Such good memories!!

These trucks have been paper pieced together from designer series paper and cardstock. It is a great way to use up your scraps as you don’t need much to make each truck. I’ve added some highlights with a white gel pen to help the image pop.

This cute little box opens just like a pizza box. It is super easy to make and a great size. The one above is made using Misty Moonlight cardstock and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I’ve made another in Basic Black using the Zoo Crew DSP. I love the contrast between the black card and the white paper. So Striking! Which colour way do you like best?

All the papers here are from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Aren’t they pretty? I would never have thought to have used Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral together but they work well with each. I will definitely use this colour combo again.

The stamp set is Phrases for All and is quickly becoming a favourite. I love the font. It has an art deco vibe to me. What do you think? I made this card in two colour variations, which do you like best?

I love the Les Shoppes suite of products from Stampin’ Up! They include the stamps and dies that I’ve used above as well as paper and sequins. You can do so much with these stamps and dies. I love stamps that allow you to build a scene. There are endless possibilities for customisation. You could have a street of shops, tables, benches, flowers and of course that lovely lamp post.

I think the shop window would make a lovely shaker card. You could have the door opening to reveal a hidden image or sentiment. The paper is gorgeous as well with lots of shop fronts if you don’t want to stamp and colour your own.

This bag is surprisingly easy to make. It is a hexagonal bag with a reinforced base. I use a 4″ wide hexagon pattern to make the base and then folded the tabs around it. The above version uses the Zoo Crew designer series paper (DSP). I love the contrast of the black and white, so effective.

I did do another combo which uses the Countryside Inn DSP. Which do you like best?

I was proud of this idea of a rainbow bridge made using the cloud punch. The highlights on the clouds are made using a white gel pen. The little kitty sitting under the bridge waiting for his owner is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

It is always difficult making cards such as these but I hope this would bring comfort.

The rainbow bridge is a pastel rainbow and my colours are:

  • Petal Pink
  • Calypso Coral
  • Lemon Lolly
  • Soft Sea Foam
  • Balmy Blue
  • Highland Heather

I had a little story in my mind when I designed this card. The little green birdie was coming to tell Mr Red he’d passed his fledgling test and was now a fully qualified bird. Mr Red was congratulating him on passing with flying colours. Yes, I know the story was ridiculous but I just like the idea of these two birds twittering away together.

I love creating scene cards. All the stamps for this card come from just one set, Sweetsong Birds. I’ve added extra interest to the card with the basic borders die. It just sets off the gingham paper beautifully.

Measurements

  • Parakeet Party Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

This bag will fold flat for storage. The sides and base are expandable which allows it to lie flat but also stand up as shown. The bag is a great size to store some notecards and envelopes.

I’ve made this bag in two colour ways. The one above features the Countryside Inn designer series paper (DSP) which I love. The one below is Fresh as a Daisy and the colour is Pecan Pie. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

I love big blowsy flowers. They are just so striking, divas of the floral world. These are so easy to stamp and then you can layer them up to make any arrangement you choose.

There is quite a bit of white space on this card. I’ve used the timer embossing folder to give some subtle interest in the background. This is one of my favourite ways to use embossing folders.

I’ve made this card in two different colour variations, which do you like?
