Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. I took a break in blogging between Christmas and New Year but I’m back now. Here is my first project of the year and I hope you like it.

I love how the clean and simple looks of this card. There is lots of white space and that is nothing to be afraid of. The sentiment is nestled in the foliage with jewels and rhinestone giving it some extra bling.

The sentiment on this card is lovely. Any day is a beautiful day to love. Showing kindness and love in small ways is something we should try and do each day. The smallest act of love can make such a difference to someone else.

I absolutely love the Poinsettia Petals stamp set. It carried over from the catalogue last year and I was so pleased. If you have read my blog before you will know I adore poinsettias and colouring. This card is a match made in heaven for me. I used the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers to colour. I put a talking book and spent a lovely, relaxing time colouring in.

The Stampin’ Blends come in combo packs of a light and dark of each colour. If I wanted more shading I used more than one colour eg I used Real Red and Cherry Cobbler for the red and Olive and Mossy Meadow for the green.

This is actually one die cut. It is pretty!! This is the Christmas Pinecones dies. You can you pieces of this die-cut as layering elements on scrapbooking pages or cards as well. You could also cut it out of various coloured cardstocks and layer them together to make a wreath. So many options!! This is die-cut from the Garden Green patterned paper. I used an adhesive sheet to make adhering it easy.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. You can choose your own colours and designs to make a bespoke piece of paper that is unique to you. It is such fun and I should really do it more often.

I’ve used the In Bloom stamp set which with its matching dies, Pierced Blooms are a current staple in my craft room. The colours are my favourite teals of Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

Delicate Dahlias – How to Make Stamping Easy

Dahlias are beautiful flowers. I love going to our local nursery and seeing the sea of blooms. It’s so difficult to resist buying them all!! My favourite are the Waterfly style ones as opposed to the PomPom and Cactus styles. The bees also prefer the more open flowers as it’s easier to reach the pollen.

The background seemed too plain to me so I embossed it with the Bloom 3D embossing folder to give it some added interest. It works well without taking anything away from the focal image.

Oh my gosh, I’m elated with how this card turned out. This is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and oh my I love it. This pink is Magenta Madness. I was watching Gardeners World yesterday and they featured a dahlia, similar in colour. I love dahlias with their big, bold and bright blooms. They sing and dance and are not shy about it. This would be a perfect birthday card for me. I hope you like it too.

I love yellow daisies. They look so happy and bright. My grandmother always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden back in South Africa. She used to pick some and have them in a little vase on the table.

I’ve mad this daisy look more 3D in a number of ways. The flower is actually four daisies of two sizes that I have punched out. They have then been run through an embossing folder and curled using a bone folder.

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.

A really simple design. I find I am using lots of banners and strips of paper in my cards now days. This is a great way to use up scraps and not waste anything. I’ve coloured these lovely flowers using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The colour is Blackberry Bliss and really pops against the white.

Polished Pink is one of the new in-colours that goes live in May this year. It is not one of the “pinkiest” pinks you have ever seen. I love how bold and bright is. This card also uses two of the other new in-colours, Soft Succulent ( the DSP) and Evening Evergreen (the cardbase).

I love how all these colour work so well together. They just pop and make me happy. The rhinestones as the flower centres are the perfect finishing touches.
