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.

Make a Fun Hedgehog Card

Make a Fun Hedgehog Card – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I was closing the blinds in the Orangery the other day and I saw a cute little hedgehog in the garden. He or She was in the middle of the grass just snuffling about. He looked so content and happy. It is heartwarming to see wildlife feeling safe and happy in our garden. This inspired me to create this sweet card.

I used the hedgehog punch and added detail using the black Stampin’ Write marker for the facial details. I sponged around the hedgehogs to create some shadows and make them look more dimensional.

There are two things that make this card for me. The first is the gorgeous flower and the second is the Cane Weave embossing folder. I wanted to keep this card clean and simple. This really highlights the gorgeous flower focal image.

I coloured the flower using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The first card is Fresh Freesia and the second one is Tahitian Tide. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

Sweetest Cherries is another stamp set that I’ve realised I’ve hardly used this year. I’m currently going through my stamps and trying to use those that I’ve not used yet or hardly used. Are you doing the same? If not why not join in and use all those wonderful things you have.

I’ve made this card in two colour ways, one is Sweet Sorbet and the other is Tahitian Tide. I know that cherries aren’t turquoise but I’m claiming artistic licence.

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.

Hearts can definitely be used all here around. I think they are great for birthday cards as I’ve done here. This is actually a card we made in my virtual card club. You can join in the next one here.

My favourite die in the Framed Florets dies set is this one that cuts out an oval of little hearts. It’s so cute. Next time I want to try it with vellum over patterned paper.

Petal Park – One Way to Use this Set – Happiness Abounds – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

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.

This cute little box holds 4 reels of love hearts. It has a pull tie at one end to make opening easy and reinforced ends. It’s straightforward to make and would be a lovely little gift. You could use these as table favours or even in kid’s goody bags.

I don’t know about you but I remember as a child using matchboxes to make furniture for my doll’s house. A big matchbox cut in two piled one on top of the other made a great chest of drawers.

I love geraniums, my mother always has them in her garden. My favourite are the bright colours of red and pink. When I saw the Potted Geraniums set in the catalogue I wanted it and then of course never used it. I’ve changed this now.

I love the combination of red and blue together. Do you like them as a combo? This stamp set is a two step stamping set. You can stamp just the outline and colour the set it or use the second stamp.

I love this cute Christmas Tag. The sequins are from my own stash. I have a ton of them and am on a mission to use them. The Celebration Tags dies make this cute pocket. I cut out the front and added some acetate to turn it into a shaker tag. The paper is the Storybook Gnomes and I love this Pacific Point blue with the little snowflakes.

Below you can see a different version in Garden Green. Which do you prefer?
