2020-2022 In-colors

Hi everyone, sharing some cards I made using the 2020-2022 In-colors, Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper Pack, Tasteful Touches stamp set and the matching Tasteful Labels Dies.

These are my 2020-2022 In-color samples.

Bumblebee

Misty Moonlight

Magenta Madness

Cinnamon Cider

Just Jade

I took 2 sheets of patterned paper and cut each sheet as per the diagram.  You will get 4 cards from the 2 sheets using this cutting plan, you can add another sheet of patterned paper to add another colour and even more cards.

The 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" squares were cut using the smallest square die in the Stitched Shaped Dies.  

The Whisper White mat was cut at 7.5cm x 11.8cm.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 7

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 7 (and the final day) of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

These two cards I made using one of my favourite sketches for using a 6" x 6" piece of patterned paper.  I cut the paper into 2" x 3" pieces so you can get 6 cards from the one piece of paper.

I made 3 each of these two cards, 3 using Lovely Lipstick as a card base and the other 3 using Old Olive as a card base.

Again decorated using my favourite daisy flowers.

Hope you enjoyed my 7 days of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper projects.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 7

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 6

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 6 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

This is a bold card, just as bold as your lipstick (haha).

The sentiment is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set with the label made using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The same label for your message is also on the inside of the card.

This card design is made by cutting a 5cm piece from the front, this shows the background paper that coordinates with the bold striped paper.  Great way to create some contrast on your cards.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 5

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 5 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper pack has so many beautiful designs, this one coordinates with Blackberry Bliss.

I made some more of my favourite Daisy Flowers for this card along with the sentiment panel made using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

A little bit of bling was added using Gold Glimmer Paper and some of the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 5

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 4

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 4 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

I made two of these cards from two sheets of the patterned paper.  You will have some left over dotted Old Olive paper for use on other projects.  The dotted Old Olive paper I cut at 4cm x 9.5cm.

The floral patterned paper I cut 2 pieces at 11.8cm x 7.5cm, this left enough to cut small strips to decorate the inside of the card.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set with the flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set.  I did 1st and 2nd generation stamping for the flowers using Lovely Lipstick ink to get the two shades of colour.

Hope you are enjoying these projects.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 4

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 3

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 3 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

These two cards use the one sheet of paper, I cut the length of the paper to 12.8cm which left enough for two strips for the inside cards.  

For card 1 the width of the paper is 6.8cm and for card 2 it is 8.5cm.

The daisy flowers were created using one of my favourite stamp sets Daisy Lane with the coordinating Medium Daisy Punch.

The labels on each card were created using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies with the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 3

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 2

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 2 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.

This card has a bit of fussy cutting with the shoes and perfume bottles.  

I will admit that I had a bit of trouble using the bold striped sheet of paper, so decided to use a little bit of it for circles.   It tones really well with the Purple Posy rose print sheet of paper.

The offset Mint Macaron mat behind the Whisper White background was a cutting mistake.  I cut the mat the wrong size, so instead of cutting a new mat, I decided to offset it.  I really like the finished look.

The sentiment is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set which was die cut using the All Dressed Up Dies. 

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 2

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 1

Hi everyone, I shared sometime over the weekend crafting with a group of lovely ladies.  We made sure that we did the social distancing bit and it was really great to get together and spend sometime away from home.

I decided to make cards using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper that is retiring.  I have two packs of this paper so I decided to sit down to see what I could create.   Over the next 7 days I will be posting the cards that I have made using this gorgeous paper.  

I really love the Daisy Lane stamp set and the coordinating Medium Daisy Punch as it makes creating gorgeous flowers for your projects so easy.

The sentiment for this card is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

These two cards were made using a couple of left over pieces of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.  I love the fresh look of the yellow daisies with the soft patterned paper.

The sentiment on card 2 is from the Label Me Bold stamp set, another favourite of mine which I am sad to say is also retiring.  

Thank you for visiting.

Botanical Prints ....

Hi everyone, sharing another project I made using the Botanical Prints Product Medley. 

The Botanical Prints Product Medley has sold out and is on the retiring list so it is no longer available to purchase.  I wanted to share a project made using these products just in case you are lucky enough to have them in your stash.

The card base is Merry Merlot which I used as it was close to the colour of the Cherries in one of the elements I used.  The elements in the kit make card making so easy, all you have to do is stamp the sentiment and get creating with a card layout.   The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

There are a lot of new Project Kits and another great Product Medley kit in the new catalogue available 3 June 2020 so make sure you keep a look out for these.

Thank you for visiting.

It is Time for a Little More Vintage ...

Hi everyone, sharing another of my vintage style projects made using the just one sheet of Designer Series Paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The large flowers were made using the Floral Essence stamp set. These were stamped using Crumb Cake ink, punched out using the Perennial Flower punch and layered together before colouring the centres using a sponge dauber and Saddle Brown StazOn ink.  The small flowers were made using the Small Blossoms punch, So Saffron cardstock and the Saddle Brown StazOn ink.

The background was made using the Corrugated Embossing Folder and White Craft ink.  The sentiment is from the Label Me Bold stamp set

Mango Botanicals

Hi everyone, sharing two cards I made using the Botanical Prints Product Medley and one of my favourite colours Mango Melody.

The Botanical Prints Product Medley has sold out and is on the retiring list so it is no longer available to purchase.  I wanted to share a few projects made using these products just in case you are lucky enough to have them in your stash.

There are a lot of new Project Kits and another great Product Medley kit in the new catalogue available 3 June 2020 so make sure you keep a look out for these.

For this card I stamped the card base with one of the images from the Botanical Prints stamp set using Mango Melody ink.  I love the tone on tone finish that this creates. 

The centre panel is a leftover scrap of one of the laser cut pieces which I backed onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  It certainly made it pop on the page.  The other elements on the card all came in the kit, I just used a different sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set for my sentiment.

This card is very quick and easy to make.  The Designer Series Paper is 6cm wide, it was a left over piece from another project so I just trimmed the length to fit the card front and matted in on to a piece of Basic Black cardstock before adhering to the card front.  All the other elements on the card all came in the kit.  The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set as I wanted to make some birthday cards for the cards I sell at work for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team's fundraising efforts.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's out there.  I got to see my Mum today at the Nursing Home, I was only allowed to visit for one hour but it was such a blessing that I got to see my Mum on this special day.  

This is the card that I made for my Mum using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, the Ornate Layers Dies, Leaf Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Daisy Lane and the Timeless Tulips stamp set.  I certainly used a smorgasbord of products.  Mum loved the finished card saying how pretty it looked.

The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and the Leaf Punch are retiring at the end of May 2020 so do not miss out on these great products.

Time for a Little More Vintage ...

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and keeping safe.

I am sharing another of my vintage style projects made using the one sheet of Designer Series Paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I used the Floral Essence and the Label Me Bold stamp sets along with the Perennial Flower punch, the Small Bloom punch, Corrugated Embossing Folder, White Craft ink, Saddle Brown StazOn and Leaf Punch.

I swiped the White Craft ink pad over the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock after I had embossed it with the Corrugated Embossing Folder.  It gives a great contrast to the other elements on the card.

Say it with a Tulip ...

Hi everyone, sharing a set of cards I made using the Timeless Tulips stamp set.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Botanical Prints Product Medley paper stack which I have teamed up with a colour scheme of Basic Black, Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White.  I love this colour combination, so striking.

The Timeless Tulip stamp set has a coordinating punch which makes card creating so easy.  I stamped the images on the Whisper White piece using Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green, I then stamped the large Tulip on a scrap of Whisper White and punched it out before adhering to the card with dimensionals.

The cards have the same Tulip flower and colour scheme.  I just changed things up with the card sketches that I used.

The gorgeous Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon was tied into a bow and adhered to the cards using glue dots.  The ribbon bow finished the cards of perfectly.

A few Rhinestones were added for the little bit of bling.

As it is Mother's Day this coming Sunday I made several Mother's Day Cards along with some Birthday Cards to add to the card stash at work for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team Fundraising efforts.
