I love these flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve used them a number of times and they are always the star of the show. In and around Lincoln I’ve been seeing lots of red poppies. This inspired me to do some red flowers for this card. The gilded gems for the flower centres are the perfect finishing touch.

I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.

An Idea – How to use the Sailing Home Set

The “Sailing Home” stamp set is one I’ve had for a while but hardly ever used. I think it works well in this monochromatic card. I’ve stamped off with the boats to create a less bold image. The colour is night of navy and I used a marker in the same colour to add some lines around the boats and lighthouse. The sky and sea are just sponged gently in the same colour.

Tulips are definitely my favourite flower. I look forward to them every year. They variety of colours and shapes are amazing. Even when the flower goes over they look gorgeous, just like orchids. I have so many photos of them so I thought it was high time I made another card using them.

I know a few people who are having babies soon so decided to make some cards. This is one of them. I like this bunny suit. It’s so cute!!! Everything is coloured with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Such an easy card to make but so sweet.

Isn’t this a pretty bag to place a special treat in. I love making gift bags and boxes and have a whole stack of them. Ever since I was a child I’ve always loved pretty packaging and taking time to make a gift look extra special. It makes all the difference I think to show you took the time to care.

This is a very simple monochromatic birthday card. I am starting to use embossing folders more and more in my designs. They add great texture and interest to backgrounds. The one I used here is called Pretty Flowers and is new in the catalogue. The rhinestones really make the flowers pop. Sometimes these tiny finishing touches really make a card.

So pleased with how this came out. I used Calypso Coral cardstock. I never use this colour but oh my it looks good with this You’re a Peach designer series paper (DSP). The Pale PawPaw ribbon just finished it off perfectly. I have stored two little packets of biscuits in it for a sweet treat for someone special.

I’m so happy with the way this has turned out. He reminds me of a children’s tv show I used to watch called “Captain Pugwash”. I think I still have some of the storybooks but not sure where. Perhaps in a box somewhere. The pirate is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers. I made the rock he is standing on using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.

If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know that I love big bold sentiments. They make easy cards and work well with a busy designer series paper. This stamp set is called Biggest Wish and I love it. I use the stamparatus to stamp set this so I could restamp it to really deepen the colour.
