If you love butterflies, you’ll love this bundle. It’s the Floating & Fluttering Bundle. I created a brand new card for you today.

For this card I thought I would use a mixture of outgoing and newer products.

Here’s the quick run down:

• Stamp Butterflies twice in Memento Black onto Basic White
• Colour with Polished Pink Blends, leaves with Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen
• Die cut butterflies and adhere to Soft Succulent card base (10.5cm x 26cm), trim any overhang
• Stamp Birthday from Biggest Wish Set with Polished Pink Ink, trim, adhere to card front
• Stamp Happy with Memento Black, cut out, adhere to card front with dimensionals
• Adhere Polished Pink Incolor Jewels to card front

It’s a fairly simple card, but still pretty, don’t you think? I love the way the butterflies and leaves are die cut. They are perfect for the floating frame technique too, just pop them up on dimensionals.

Just a reminder that my Plentiful Plants Class by Mail closing on the 17th June, you’ll have until close of business to register and pay for this class.

I sometimes buy a Prodcut Medley and have really good intentions of using it, but then never do. The Flowering Cactus Medley was an exception. I opened it up and used it straight away!

Here’s a look at a few cards I made, just in case it was on your wish list, and you still haven’t purchased it yet.

If you click on the photo above, it will take you to the original blog post where you’ll be able too see more details about it.

I also made a few cards using a 6×6 One Sheet Wonder template.

The Product Medley consists of

• Stamp Set
• Die Set
• 6×6 DSP
• Felt Flowers in two colours
• Twine in two colours

And… if you’ve already purchased the Medley, you can get a refill kit (minus the stamps and dies) for half price!

Today I’m sharing a really cute, bright, happy Thank You Note Card featuring the Plentiful Plants Bundle.

This bundle also has matching DSP, but I wanted to break away from the colour combo used for the paper.

Quick rundown on the card:

• Create cute 10.5cm square cards rather than full sized cards
• Stamp texture stamp in Balmy Blue
• Stamp pot in Polished Pink
• Stamp plant in Granny Apple Green
• Add a strip of Granny Apple Green card as an accent

• White emboss sentiment and cut into separate lines
• Add cute little heart embellishment.

The little Shaker Shapes have a firm rubbery feel to them, a fun alternative to bling for a change, altho you could paint them with Wink of Stella!

A couple of reminders:

Just a few days left for both my Stampin’ Write Markers Giveaway AND to Join my Team with extra $$ in your Starter Kit.

How fun is this card? And I LOVE the stamp set Biggest Wish. So many ways you can make your sentiment. I’ve made two colour combos.

It’s looks amazing don’t you think? This combo is Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent.

Here’s the second colour. Polished Pink and Daffodil Delight.

Gah!! I don’t know which one I love the most! Here’s a video showing the Pink & Yellow version.

Here’s the brief run down of the cards:

• Use the Blends Alcohol Technique on Vellum
• Use a ball point 2 way glue pen to add ink along lines on your vellum, allow to go tacky. Either use Gilded Leaf or Embossing Powder over the glue.

• Stamp Happy and either gold gild leaf or silver emboss
• Stamp Birthday and cut out
• Finish with coloured jewels

You may well have missed the New Soft Pastels from Stampin’ Up! I didn’t and I’ve got them, and played with them. I thought the Host set Better Places would be perfect to try them out.

The Soft Pastels are a chalk pastel, long rectangle in shape and are available in a pack of 8 Colours. The video below shows just one way you can use them. You can bet I’ll be experimenting more tho.

Here’s a run down of the card:

• Use the Stamparatus to stamp image in Stazon. Keep the stamp on the plate, come back to restamp the image after colouring.
• I scribbled the pastels directly onto the image and blended with my finger

• Emboss Poppy Parade layer with Bark Embossing Folder
• Add a few small layers of Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody behind image.
• Stamp and cut out a few extra leaves to cluster around the sentiment.
• Add some Black Dots to finish.

Product List

I hope you enjoyed today’s card! The pastels are fun to play with!

Cheers for now

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Birthday Card

So with this annual catalogue, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and get a few sets and bundles that I wouldn’t normally get.

Quiet Meadow Bundle is one of those items. I really like the way my card turned out tho! Reminded me of the style of cards I use to make with the ink splatters and washed out text.

And I have another video for you! Woohoo!

The best thing about this card, is that it would look GREAT in ANY colour! I should have actually made it in a different colour for my video.

Here’s a little recap of the card:

• Basic White Thick Base
• Emboss Brick & Mortar onto a Basic White layer
• Stamp text and splatter lightly onto layer

• Cut largest tag from any colour
• Sponge tag
• Paint flowers with Whisper White Ink
• Stamp text and splatter onto tag
• Tie Twine in a double bow

• Cut out fern die from white, attach behind tag
• Add Wink of Stella!

I love the texture and sparkly shimmer that this card has. I wish you could see the Wink of Stella in the photos.

Product List

I hope you enjoyed the video and card.

Cheers for now

Hi Everyone! I’ve played with the new Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Bundle to make some Thank You cards this last week.

You can’t see on the card, but the foliage on the trees are super sparkly, covered in Wink Of Stella!

And guess what??!! I’ve actually filmed a video for this card! And now that I’m looking at my photo, I realised that in my video, I adhered the bottom foliage pieces on in the other direction! Ooops!

In case you don’t have time to watch the video, here’s a quick run down on the card:

• Base is Balmy Blue, with a little ink applied to the top with a blending brush.
• Trees cut from Crumb Cake
• Foliage cut from Crushed Curry with Poppy Parade Ink added around the edges
• Sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade Ink and mounted
• Wink of Stella applied to the tree foliage to give a really nice sparkly shimmer

And here’s a list of all the products I’ve used in creating this card

Product List

I hope you get a little inspiration for this bundle. It’s probably a bundle I wouldn’t normally go for, but I’m stepping out of my comfort zone with this annual catalogue 🙂

PS: don’t forget my Paper and Ribbon Share close on the 13th May and I’m giving away a full set of Stampin’ Write Markers this month!

Cheers for now

I got my hands on some more new product, but I didn’t know what to use first! So I used a couple of sets and a couple of different papers on this card.

Inspired by one of the sheets in the Hand-Penned DSP! It was the Cinnamon Cider that got me this time. And can you believe that it’s the first time I’ve used Cinnamon Cider. It teams up so well with the new Pale Papaya colour.

The colours of my flower are Pale Papaya and Cinnamon Cider for the flower, and Mint Macaron and Evening Evergreen. I’ve used Blends for my colouring.

The spots stamped on the bottom left and on the corner of the InColor DSP are from the set Quiet Meadow. And the sentiment is from Art Gallery. I also added some ink around the edges with my Blending Brushes.

Simple embellishments with some White Bakers Twine and a single Pale Papaya Genial Gem in the centre of small flower.

I’m looking forward to playing with more new items and inspiring you in your own creative journey.
