This is a Focus Friday post. This May I have been focusing on the topic of “Colour”. This week I am looking at just using one colour to spotlight a focal image on the card. This card uses only the colour red. White and black aren’t strickly colours on the colour wheel. I’ve used the red to spotlight the poppies and really make them pop on this card.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. During the month of May, I am looking at colour in my Friday Focus creations. Today my focus is on primary colours. The primary colours on the colour wheel are red (Real Red), yellow (Daffodil Delight) and blue (Pacific Point). These are the colours of my ladybirds which are my focal image.

These colours will mix with each other and sit well together as they are the primary colours. The colours I’ve chosen are vibrant and bright and really make this card pop.

Oh my, I love these cute little ladybirds. They stamp beautifully and are so easy to put together. I’ve added little white accents on the ladybirds using a white gel pen. They really lift the whole image and make them pop. Sometimes it’s just a small detail that really makes or breaks a card. I do quite a bit of art journaling and am always using my white gel pen so thought I would into my cardmaking as well.

I love how this card turned out. The contrast between light, dark, bold and bright really works. The colours are Poppy Parade, Basic Black and Basic White and they all compliment each other perfectly. I was tempted to add more embellishments but I think it would distract rather enhance this card.

Welcome to the latest post in my Friday Focus series. Today we are looking at making a shaker card with no dimension. As you know in April we have been looking at things Shaker Cards. I’ve used the heart punch pack to create this little shaker window.

The Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) is Valentine’s paper but I think it works perfectly for this birthday card. I love all the shades of red and pink. So pretty and of course fun to make.

Tulip Fields – How to Use it – Thank You Card – Flowering Tulips – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

As you will know I love tulips. These fields of tulips would be a dream to see in real life. In 2017 Stampin’ Up! had their On Stage Live in Amsterdam in the Spring. I got to see some lovely tulips in Amsterdam but not in the countryside. Wonder day I would love to return and visit the beautiful gardens of Keukenhof and see all the wonderful spring flowers.

This card came together very easily thanks to the Stamparatus which made positioning everything a doddle. I stamped on a larger panel and cut it down to size.

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card – Hello Ladybug – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Look at these adorable ladybirds. I found out that in North America they say Ladbug but we in the UK of course say Ladybird. It really is amazing how many differences they are between proper English and American English.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set comes with a matching punch which I haven’t used here. This is just the same stamp repeat stamped. It is a two step stamping set and really easy to line by hand. I didn’t use the stamparatus and these ladybirds came out great.

I’ve made this bag a number of times. It is a great one to make as requires no cutting and minimal scoring. You can make them in a great number easily in many sizes. They store flat until you want to use them and string the ribbon through them. What more could you want from a gift bag?

The tag is hand stamped using the Merriest Moments stamp set. You can see me make a similar oversize tag on the previous blog post.
