Simply Stars

Hi everyone, I would like to share with you the card that I made for the challenge at The Paper Players this week based on the colours of Real Red, Whisper White and Night of Navy.

I have used the "Simply Stars" stamp set for the stars that I fussy cut and the sentiment is from the "Sassy Salutations" stamp set.    DSP is from the "Polka Dot Parade" paper pack and the "Regals" paper stack.

Sneak Peaks 2014-15 In-colours

Hi everyone, it was like Christmas in my house yesterday when my pre-order arrived for the 2014-15 Annual Catalogue.  I have fallen in love with the new Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey colours and the Moonlight Designer Series Paper.


I made this card for a friend of mine using the Mojo Monday sketch for this week. 



The DSP is from the new Moonlight Paper Pack and also the Neutrals Paper Stack.  Colour scheme of Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand, Hello Honey and Whisper White.  The flowers are from the "Flower Shop" stamp set, stamped with Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand and Hello Honey ink and punched out with the matching punch.  The sentiment is from the "Petite Pairs" stamp set.  A few rhinestones were added for a bit of bling.

Retro Sketches #114

The challenge this week at Retro Sketches is based on this sketch:

For my card I have used a colour scheme of Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Naturals White.  This colour scheme is one of my favourites lately, and I keep coming back to it along with the butterflies from the Backyard Basic stamp set and matching dies.

Quilted Background

I cased this background idea from a card I found recently in blogland using a diamond pattern with zigzag stitching.


I did not have a diamond shaped punch, so I used the 1 1/4" square punch to make the small squares which were then embossed using a variety of embossing folders.  These were then adhered to a Whisper White card base and finished with the zigzag stitching between each square.  I inked all the edges with Baked Brown Sugar to give it a vintage feel.  The centre panel was raised slightly from the card base using dimensionals.  The edging on the strip across the card was made using the Finishing Touches Edgelits.  The small flowers were made from scraps of Coaster Board using the Petite Petals punch and inked with Baked Brown Sugar, pearls added for centres.

The Paper Players #193

Last weekend I attended a Stamp Camp at "Avalon" Toodyay organised by a friend of mine, Pat Carr.  I had a really great time meeting everyone and learning new techniques, methods and making all the projects on offer.


I have been so inspired by this camp that I have been entering some of the great challenges that I have not had time to enter lately.


I made this card using the Fresh Print DPS for the challenge at The Paper Players.  The challenge this week is a sketch by Anne Marie.

White Vellum Flowers

I made this card a few weeks ago for the Mojo Monday Challenge #341 but did not get around to posting it.  I loved the sketch layout so I thought that I would share my card with you.


I took inspiration from this card for yesterday's post using the same colour scheme of Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Naturals White along with the white embossed flowers made using the Flower Shop stamp set and the matching Pansy punch.
