I made these cute little matchboxes to hold lip balms. I matched the colours of the paper and cardstock to the colours of the lip balms. These make great little treats or gifts.

These would also store lipsticks and a longer version would hold a mascara stick. I think these would be great as part of a make-up hamper for a special friend or child.

I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.

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?

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 wasn’t sure about this card at all. I added all the rhinestones and it just made it all come together. It’s amazing how a small finishing touch can add so much to a card. I used the pretty flowers from Petal Park to decorate the simple wreath from the Cottage Wreaths set.

I have made this card in two colour ways, The pink version above or the purple one below. Which do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

Make a Postbox Themed Card – Stamped with Love – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love this cute little postbox from the Stamped with Love stamp set. Recently I’ve noticed all our local postboxes and taken note of the emblems on them. Our local one is from the reign of George V and the one around the corner is even further back to Edward VII. I did see one in a local village that is Queen Victoria. Amazingly, these post boxes have been standing for so long. I do love a hit of history.

This little post box has been coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The envelope is Soft Sea Foam.

The cardbase is one of our notecards with matching envelopes. It is smaller than a standard A6 card base and perfect for a little thank-you card.

Measurements

  • Soft Sea Foam Cardstock – 4 3/4″ X 3 1/4″
  • Poppy Parade & Crumb Cake Cardstock – 4″ X 2 1/2″
