Happy Birthday

Hi everyone, sharing the cards I made using the So Saffron coloured patterned paper from the 6" x 6" Subtles Desinger Series Paper Assortment.  I only had two sheets of this Designer Series Paper so I cut them into 2" x 3" pieces and made 12 cards.

I used the Pretty Pillowbox Dies for the small flowers and the sentiment die cut.  The leaves were made using the Bough Punch and Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  I just cut the leaves down fit.

The two Basic Black strips were cut at 10.5cm x 1cm.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.


I hope you enjoyed this project.

Let's Set Sail

Hi everyone, sharing the cards I made using the Balmy Blue coloured patterned paper from the 6" x 6" Subtles Desinger Series Paper Assortment.  I have been on a mission to use up this paper pack, making cards for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team fundraising efforts at work and also for the Nursing Home that took such great care of my Mum.

I used the Let's Set Sail stamp set and the matching Sailboat Builder punch on these cards.  The circle is from the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  The water was stamped with Balmy Blue ink, the sails and the birds with Night of Navy ink and the boat with Crumb Cake ink. 

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moment stamp set which was stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut with the small rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.


I made 12 cards from the 4 sheets of pattern paper.  I cut them into 10.5cm x 5cm pieces, getting 3 pieces from each sheet.  The long strip leftover I used to decorate the inside of the cards.

I added some Night of Navy Enamel Dot Essentials to finish the cards.


I hope you enjoyed these cards.

Forever Fern

Hi everyone, I am still working my way through the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment.  These cards use the Forever Fern stamp set and the matching Forever Flourishing Dies.  The sentment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

I have used the 4 sheets of Soft Sea Foam patterned paper from the pack.  I cut each piece into 1 1/2" inch strips, ending up with 16 strips.  I cut these stips to the length of my card.  I made 16 of these cards.


I will be taking some of these to work for our Council Council Relay for Life Team fundraising and the others I will take to the Nursing Home that took such great care of my Mum.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hand-Penned Petals

Hi everyone, I am still working my way through the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment.  These cards use the 4 sheets of Highland Heather patterned paper.


I cut the Designer Series Paper into 7.5cm strips, you will get two strips.  I then cut each strip in to  7.5cm x 11.8cm and 7.5 x 3.4cm pieces.  You will get 8 cards from the 4 sheets of patterned paper with only a very small slither waste.


The floral image is from the stamp sets Hand-Penned Petals which was stamped with Black Memento, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive ink.  The sentiments are from Celebrating You and Peaceful Moments stamp sets, I made 4 Mother's Day cards and 4 Happy Birthday cards.


To finish the cards some of the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds in the Fresh Freesia were added.

I hope you enjoyed this set of card.

Best Day

Hi everyone, sharing the cards I made using the Best Day stamp set and the four sheets of Mint Macaron pattern paper from the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment. 

I am slowly working my way through this paper pack, making cards for sale at work to support the fundraising efforts of our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team and also for the Nursing Home that took such great care of my Mum.


I made 12 cards from the 4 pieces of 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  The card bases are Crumb Cake, which picks up the colours in the image and also the enamel dots.  


The Whisper White background was embossed using the big dots embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.


I coloured the image with Light Mint Macaron, Light and Dark Bermuda Bay, Light and Dark Balmy Blue, Dark Petal Pink and Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.

I hope you enjoyed this set of cards.

Plentiful Plants

Hi everyone, sharing some cards I have made using the Calypso Coral and Petal Pink sheets of patterned paper from the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment.  I had 4 sheets of the Calypso Coral and 2 sheets of Petal Pink with some small scraps left in the paper pack.

I decided to cut the Calypso Coral sheets into 12.3cm x 5.1cm pieces.  You will get 3 pieces from each sheet.  I then cut the 2 sheets of Petal Pink into 12.3cm x 2.5cm piece.  You get 6 strips from each sheet.  I had enough pieces to make 12 cards.  I matted the patterned paper onto Early Espresson mats cut at 12.8cm x 5.5cm and 12.8cm x 2.9cm. 

The card fronts were embossed before adhering the matted pattern paper to the card fronts.  I decided to make 6 cards using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

The other 6 cards were made using the Nature's Harvest and the Harvest Dies.

Remember I mentioned I had some small scraps left in the paper pack and I also created some strips 2.9cm x 15.2cm when I was cutting the patterned paper for my cards.  I cut these into 2.9cm x 5cm pieces and created 2 cards using the Plentiful Plants stamp set and Perfect Plants dies.

I hope you enjoyed these projects.
