I made a card using the matching stamp set and loved it. I decided to use just the dies this time in the same colourway and am so pleased with how it came out.

The die set from Two Tone Flora not only has dies to cut out the matching stamp set but also this extra die that cuts out a full card front design. I think it’s so pretty with the Orchid Oasis designer series paper behind it.

As I can write this in Lincoln the wind is blowing its guts out. I was thinking of any little birds and thinking the poor mites would be blown away if they weren’t careful.

This card has a lovely spring feel to it. Baby birds are one of the quintessential marks of spring as are new fresh green leaves. This card combines both of these.

Funnily enough, I’ve used the punch that goes with the Petal Park stamp set more than the actual stamp set. I love punches and I hoard them. There is a huge collection in my retired drawers. I wanted to use the stamp set though and this is the card I came up with.

The leaves are actually the same stamp, once stamped the right way up and then again upside down. At first, the two areas of foliage looked very weird even after I added the flowers. The sentiment between the two foliage elements brought the card together.

Two-step stamping sets are great as they allow you to add dimension and depth so easily to your stamped images. I love them as they allow me to get a more realistic image when stamping. The Two Tone Flora set is great for this. The images are gorgeous and make me long for summer and lots of flowers.

I love how bright and fun this card is. This is the Wisteria Wishes stamp set. I have turned the wisteria stamp upside down and now we have a lupin stamp. The camera doesn’t pick it up but I have added extra definition to each flower with a marker to create extra interest.

This is such an easy bag to make. I wanted to show that just changing something small can totally change the look of your finished item. Here I’ve changed the closure mechanism. The first one is a ribbon closure and the second one has handles. It totally changes the look of the bag.

You can see both bags below. Which one do you prefer?

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick

I do like the look of watercolouring with no harsh lines from stamping. It gives the whole image a softer appearance. There are a number of ways to achieve this look. Today I show you a simple trick using clear heat embossing.

I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed using clear powder. Now when you watercolour you won’t see the lines and the watercolour will resist the heat embossing allowing you to colour with no lines. One final tip is to use Shimmery White or watercolour cardstock as it will stand up to the water much better than Basic White cardstock.

I am a total sucker for floral stamp sets. I love them. Flowers do make me happy. I have endless photos of them. Beautifully Happy is a freebie I got from Sale-a-bration (SAB) this year. During SAB you can get a freebie from the SAB catalogue for every qualifying purchase.

It is a two-step stamping set. The stamps are so easy to line up and the Stamperatus makes the whole thing super easy. You could make this card in all colours of the rainbow. It would make a lovely set to give as a special gift.

I love wisteria. We have one that curves above the living room window. It looks beautiful every Spring. There is another one in a local village that covers the whole wall of a shop. This inspired me to make this card.

I’ve kept the colour palette quite simple here, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Old Olive. It makes me long for Spring and beautiful fresh flowers.

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag – Dandy Designs – Flowers of Friendship – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This little bag folds flat for easy storage. We made this in a recent card club and I wanted to share it with you as well. I used the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP) that I got free during sale-a-bration. I love the bright and vibrant colours in this paper pack. You get 48 sheets in a pack so you won’t run out anytime soon.
