Just a little boy and his dog, how cute!! This stamp set is “By My Side”. I’ve used it a few times but it has mainly just sat on the shelf. I really need to use it more as it’s so sweet. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring and this was a lovely relaxing card to make.

I have this cute little milk carton-style gift box to share with you today. The cardstock colour is Pretty Peacock. This is one of our returning colours. It was an In-Colour back in 2019 -2021 and is back now as a member of the Regals colour family.

The designer series paper (DSP) is Fresh as a Daisy. This pattern looks really good against Pretty Peacock. I made this gift box in a different colour way which you can see below. This one is Balmy Blue and the Countryside Inn DSP. Which do you like better?

I like blending inks. You can make your own custom backgrounds so easily. I blended Lost Lagoon and Coastal Cabana here. I started off with the lighter colour and then blended in the darker colour, going back and forward between the two to achieve a blend.

The card below is a different colour way. The colours are Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best?

Do you like shaker cards? I love making shaker cards. This is my latest version. What do you think? They are very easy to make. I’m finding it a great way to use up all the sequins in my stash which is always a bonus. A great tip when using our foam strips is to remove the backing before you apply them. This makes them much easier to manipulate.

This is a lovely tonal birthday card. I’ve used the Countryside Corners stamp set to create these frames. It is one stamp but the dies allow you to cut out each individual frame. I store any spare frames with the stamp set in a little envelope. I’ve popped up everything up on dimensionals. It came out really well I think. Below is a different pattern, which do you prefer?

This is another card we made in May Card club. This is an online card that happens in my Facebook Group. You can find out all the details here. The colours I’ve used for the daisies are Basic White and the new colour Lemon Lolly. I think it really pops well against the dark designer series paper. The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements. I’ve heat-embossed it in white so it pops. This card has been made in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

I’ve used the Beautiful Balloons dies on their own here. The paper is Bright and Beautiful. I love that the paper has these variations in colour as it gives the ballons extra interest with no extra work. The embossing folder in the background is Raindrops and I love it. It just adds a little something to the background. This is a card we made in May Card Club. You can find out more about my classes and clubs here. Some are in person and some are online.

I love making rainbow-style cards. They are a great way to use your scraps and who doesn’t like to use their scraps up? I love when I’ve made the most of my stash.

This is a very simple design but the sentiment makes the card. I love big bold sentiments. They make easy cards. I’ve cut 1cm strips of cardstock to make this rainbow. My rainbow colours are:

  • Real Red
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Daffodil Delight
  • Granny Apple Green
  • Azzure Afternoon
  • Gorgeous Grape

measurements

  • Night of Navy Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

I love all the new blues that have been introduced to our colour families. They are so pretty. I decided to compare some of them here in this card. I’ve repeatedly stamped the same sentiment in different colours. It really works well.

The stamp set is a firm favourite of mine, Biggest Wish. I’m so happy that is carried over from last year’s catalogue to this one. I would be lost without it.
