Pink Blooms

Hi Everyone, I have been so excited about getting the new products in the Occasions Catalogue that I forgot about some of my favourites from the Annual Catalogue.  I decided to use the Garden in Bloom stamp set and some of the new Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper, this way I am using some of the old with some of the new.

I cased the layout of this card from article in a recent card magazine.   I love the clean and pretty look of the card.  

The flowers were stamped with Archival Basic Black for the outline and then Sweet Sugarplum for the petal infill and Delightful Dijon for the flower centre.  The leaves were stamped with Archival Basic Black and Pear Pizzazz.  The flowers and leaves were fussy cut.

The Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper has some great designs, with two of the sheets being in a gingham design which I love.  I have used the Sweet Sugarplum gingham on this card.  I will be posting another card Tuesday using the other sheet with the Tip Top Taupe gingham design.

Birthday Bright Sneak Peak

Hi everyone, just a little sneak peak at the Stamp Set "Birthday Bright" from the new 2017 Occasions Catalogue available on 4 January 2017.  I was lucky enough to win this stamp set in a Prize Patrol at the OnStage Live event I attended in Brisbane last week.

I stamped the Happy Birthday in Dapper Denim (my camera does not get this colour correct in the photo) on Whisper White and then fussy cut the words.  These were adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

The flowers are from the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  I stamped these in Dapper Denim using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation stamping to get the various shades.   These were also fussy cut along with the leaves that were stamped using Always Artichoke.

Birthday Bright Sneak Peak

Something Old, Something New and Something We Are Keeping!!

Hi everyone, did you know that you can do a resist technique with the White Stampin' Chalk Marker. I didn't until I viewed this great video tutorial by Dawn Griffiths.

Following the tutorial by Dawn I created the White Stampin' Chalk Marker resist technique on the flower.

For my card I have used the stamp sets "Timeless Textures" and "Garden in Bloom" that you can purchase now (these we are keeping) and also a new stamp set coming your way on the 1 June 2016, "Labeler Alphabet".   

The something old on the card is the Go Wild Designer Series Paper that is on the Retiring List and will no longer be available after 31 May 2016 or before depending upon stock.

See the retiring list here!

Sneak Peak - Display Board Samples for Sydney On Stage Local

Garden in Bloom

I was lucky enough to be chosen to stamp for the display boards at the Sydney On Stage Local event which was held yesterday. I had a really great day and enjoyed seeing all the new products coming our way on 1 June. I can't show you anything until after Tuesday but you will not be disappointed in the new products.  I have been going through my catalogue today (I have just about worn the cover off) making my wish list.

While I was creating my samples for the display boards I found that I was using the Garden in Bloom stamp set a lot.   

I have created several samples using the stamp set to show how versatile it is.  You can create something pretty and neutral or something bright and bold.

 

The first card uses a colour scheme of Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Tip Top Taupe and Whisper White.  The background is made using the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Designer Series Paper which I misted with a mix if Marina Mist and Isocol Rubbing Alcohol.  

The second card is similar to the first card, just using a colour scheme of Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.  Again the background is made using the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Designer Series Paper which I misted with a mix if Blushing Bride and Isocol Rubbing Alochol.

The third card is a take of one that I did for the display boards, however I did not use the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I sponged Delightful Dijon on the striped piece of paper and added a strip of Basic Black dotted Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals Paper Stack.  The colour scheme is Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Basic Black, Cucumber Crush and Whisper White.

The fourth card is one I made for the display boards at Sydney but decided not to include it in my samples.  It uses a colour scheme of Watermelon Wonder, Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White and Delightful Dijon.

Garden in Bloom

A Happy Birthday with flowers

It is circles time at Pals Paper Arts this week with the challenge based on this sketch.



I used the English Garden Designer Series Paper on my card.  I have been trying to make better use of my DSP as I find that I buy the pack (as I just have to have it) and then do not use it.  So my challenge to myself is to use more of the beautiful papers that I have collecting.  They look much better made up into a card instead of sitting in my storage boxes.
