Monochromatic – Thank you Card – A Little Lace

I have this gorgeous monochromatic thank you card to share with you today. This colour uses one of my favourite colours, Bermuda Bay. I love the rich vibrancy of this colour against the whisper white. It works well. What do you think?

A Little Lace is a gorgeous stamp set. I’ve used it before to stamp my own patterned paper to make a bag. I’ll link the video below. This is a great set as it contains sentiments and this lovely lace stamp. Last time I used Melon Mambo and it looked equally

Everything can do with some bling at times. I’ve used the clear faceted gems in the flower centres for some sparkle. They really lift the card and make it come alive.

I will admit that in the last week I feel as I’ve lost my mojo. I am struggling with words to write this blog. Is anyone else feeling the same, I have all the time in the world to craft but just don’t feel like it. Typical!!

This card uses an old technique. I don’t know what is called. I stamped all three white layers together and then separated them so that pattern continues across all the pieces.

measurements

Whisper White:
- 14.35cm x 10cm
- 11.85cm x 7.5cm
- 9.35cm x 5cm
Bermuda Bay:
- 12.35cm x 8cm
- 9.85cm x 5.5cm
- A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

The thank you sentiment is from the Label Me Pretty stamp set, an older one but still a great one. I’ve used punches so there is no need for any die cutting here.

Roar – Dinosaur Card – Stampin’ Up!

Roar goes the Dinosaur. I love these brightly coloured dinosaurs in the Dino Roar designer series paper (DSP). They are perfect for children’s cards.

Roar Roar - Dinosaur Card - Dino Roar - Stampin' Up! — Roar Roar – Dinosaur Card – Dino Roar – Stampin’ Up!

I really enjoyed making this card. These dinosaurs are actually die cut from the Dino Roar DSP. The dies match not only the dinosaur stamps but also the images on the DSP making them super versatile. They are very easy to line up and cut out and there are separate dies for the scales though I just fussy cut them out.

I used the complimentary enamel shapes as my embellishments and for the scales of the lovely lipstick coloured dinosaur. I haven’t got a clue what species each of these dinosaurs are. They are just pink or blues ones to me.

measurements

Pretty Peacock A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
DinoRoar DSP – 14.35cm x 10xm
Whisper White – 13.35cm x 9cm

I think the sentiment is so cute and matches all these little friends on the card perfectly. The dinosaur standing on his friend’s nose was a mistake but I liked it so kept it.

Bright and Fun Card – So Sentimental – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and fun card to share you today. Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove are the two colours here. I can unequivocally state these are not my favourite colours at all. I find each colour on its own a bit too much so I came up with this idea and I think it works well. What do you think?

The pop of black around the sentiment and the large sentiment itself, I think really help to pull the whole card together. What pleased me the most though, was that I got to use up some of my Happiness Blooms enamel dots in the matching colours.

If you hold card classes I think this is also a great idea. You don’t have to have enough of each paper to make a full card, you can mix and match and everyone still can make the same style card.

Pink Cat Card – Nine Lives – Stampin’ Up!

I am calling this my Pink Cat Card. The pink is Melon Mambo which is one of my favourite pink colour. In this card, it is combined with cats which I adore.

I love cats and dogs but mostly cats. I have been through several periods of poor mental health and still suffer from anxiety. Cats are a great source of comfort for me. I feel safe and accepted by them. When I saw this set, therefore, I knew it was one for me.

Nine Lives is a two-step stamp set. You can stamp the cat as an outline, with patches or with stripes. The Stampartus comes into its own for stamps like these. The cat does have a matching punch but I’ve used it here.

Under my Umbrella – Stampin’ Blends Markers

I have this cute, bright and sunny card to share with you today. I knew I wanted to get “Under My Umbrella” the minute I saw it in the catalogue. The flowers growing in the wellies are just so dinky.

Under my Umbrella - Stampin' Up! — Under my Umbrella – Stampin’ Up!

I debated what colours to use in this card and eventually went for so saffron, balmy blue, highland heather and old olive. I think they make the card look like a summer’s day.

Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love the seamless colouring and easy shading of the Stampin’ Blends. What is your favourite colouring medium? I do love watercolouring but the Blends are great for quick and easy colouring too.

Rainbow Card – Use up your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

I love this rainbow card. I’ve used up strips of cardstock that I had in my scrap pile and just added a sentiment and some rhinestones. I love how it came out, so bright and bold. A ray of sunshine to make me smile on this gloomy cloudy days.

The colours I’ve used here are:

Real Red
Pumpkin Pie
Daffodil Delight
Granny Apple Green
Pacific Point
Highland Heather
Gorgeous Grape

The sentiment is from the set So Sentimental. I love these big and eye-catching sentiments. It pairs beautifully with the matching Stitched so Sweetly Dies.

Timeless Tulips – Spotlighting – Stampin’ Up!

As followers of my blog will know, my favourite flowers are Tulips. I simply adore them. When I saw this the Timeless Tulips stamp set and matching punch I knew I had to have them.

I’ve kept the colours very simple with just red and white. I love the contrast between real red and whisper white. I spotlighted the actual tulip flower in red with a black stem to highlight this.

Tulips do signify the start of Spring and warm weather to me. They are beautiful blooms even when they are dying and the petals fall open like orchids.

I felt the white background was a little bland and so I ran it the through the Basket Weave embossing folder to give it some subtle texture. I’ve not been using my embossing folder for ages so I decided I must start using them more as well.

Feels Like Frost Thank you Card – Stampin’ Up!

I can’t believe it is less than a week to Christmas. This is my last blog of this year. I will be back on the 3rd of January. I have a thank you card to share with you today featuring the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper – (DSP). This paper is going into hibernation at the end of this year but will be back in the Autumn / Winter Catalogue next year. YEAH!!!

This is a quick and easy card to make that can easily be made in bulk. It’s perfect therefore for your Christmas thank you cards. The Feels Like Frost DSP is so beautiful and works for any winter card, not just Christmas.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones as accent pieces here. I thought they would retire at the end of December but they are carrying over and I am so excited. I love them. The Holiday Rhinestones come as one pack of various sizes and various colours. So useful!!

Pink Gift Bag – Shimmery Silver – Stampin’ Up!

Hello and thank you for visiting. I have this lovely pink gift bag to share with you today that features the Feels Like Frost silver foiled designer series paper. This is a very simple bag but it looks like a million dollars, or I think so!!

I think the melon mambo pink and silver foil DSP are a match made in heaven. This would be a perfect gift bag for a girly party, a hen night or even a silver wedding anniversary.

Tulips in Autumn – Greetings Card Tutorial

I have this simple and clean card to share with you. It features my favourite flowers, Tulips, which I love. I have therefore named it Tulips in Autumn. This stamp is from the “Winds of Change” stamp set which I have already used.

I was at the garden centre for lunch recently and the array of Tulips bulbs is mind-blowing. They come in such a fantastic range of colours, shapes and textures. Once upon a single tulip bulb sold for than craftsman’s annual salary. I love looking at all the tulips in Autumn and dreaming of their beauty in the Spring.

This card is much cheaper to make than that. I’ve stamped the tulip in memento black in and coloured it in with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The cotton real red ribbon just gives added interest to the background.

I love the combination of red and green. I don’t feel it just a Christmas colour. They are opposite sides of the colour wheel and therefore are complimentary colours.

I love floral cards and my favourite, of course, are Tulips. What are your favourite images on cards? Let me know in the comments section. I love reading your comments.
