I love hydrangeas. My mother has a huge one in the garden when I was a kid and I just grew up with these gorgeous big blooms. We still have them in the garden now and I’m looking forward them to blooming this year.

The Hydrangea Haven stamp set is a two-step stamping set. This gives extra detail and depth to the image. You can of course colour the images in yourself if you so wish.

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of July, we are looking at background stamps. These are large stamps that cover most if not all of the card front. They are usually repeating designs that add interest to a card without detracting from the focal image. They can also be large stamps that give you the focal image in one stamp.

Anyone who follows this blog will know I love tulips. They are my favourite flower. I adore them. I couldn’t believe my luck when Stampin’ Up! brought out this gorgeous Flowering Fields tulip paper in the current mini catalogue. Sadly it retires at the end of June. I wanted to use it one last time.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of May we are looking at using designer series paper (DSP) in different ways. Today I am using the gorgeous Hugs of Happiness DSP to make lots of die cuts to use on my card. They are the focal image for this floral birthday card.

The Hugs of Happiness DSP is simply gorgeous. I absolutely love it!! I’m already planning to my a second pack. Paper-like this is so useful. You can fussy cut these florals if you want but the dies that match the stamp set also cut out the flowers in this DSP. Super useful!! It really stretches this paper and gives you a ton of die cuts.

I was so glad this stamp set didn’t retire this year. I love all the big bold sentiments. They are my cup of tea. This is a very simple card but I’ve added interest with the doily. These are the Heart & Home doilies. They actually come in blue, green & brown. I wanted white though so I used the backside instead!!

I’ve had these doilies sitting in my stash for the best part of the year and never used them. That had to change, so I designed this card to start using them. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The Fresh Freesia layer at the back is all one die cut. It cuts beautifully and comes out of the die like a dream. I used the die brush attachment and the Take Your Pick Tool to get rid of all the little bits.

I love this cute little woodland scene. It’s coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring as you know, so on when the audiobook and off I went. I’m listening to the third book in the Brighton Mysteries series by Elly Griffiths. Really enjoy them. What do you listen to while you craft?
