Colour combo week 8: Abstract impressions

hi this weeks colour combo is lovely lipstick, granny apple green and pool party
I have used the abstract impressions stamp set and the tufted embossing folder.
I love how quick and easy it is to create a lovely floral scene with this set.

Colour Combo week 7: Making Christmas bright

This week I’ve used a new stamp set making Christmas bright. This also comes bundled with a punch
And will be available 5th September 2018

The colour combo this week is lovely lipstick, pineapple punch and basic grey

Highlighted spot card

This is a highlighted spot card.
You need to have 2 images that are the same.

Firstly I stamped the floral image from the Blended Seasons see on two pieces of whisper white card (9.5cm x 13.8cm)  with black memento.
I used my Stamparatus to ensure that both were exactly the same.
I then coloured one in using my Stampin blends. Colours are lovely lipstick, granny apple green and pool party.
I then punched out several different sized circles from the coloured image.
The circles were then fixed over the black and white image using dimensionals to give a bit of texture. ( I used the waste piece to help with the positioning)
This was matted onto a piece of granny apple green card (10cm x 14.3cm) and then onto a standard portraits white card blank.
If I were to do this technique again I’d make 3 images and then the waste piece could be used to make another card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi
I'm entering a challenge so have created these projects,

First are 3 cards

This is a card using the colour coach, Grapefruit Grove, poppy parade and night of navy with a touch of mossy meadow. I have used the painted harvest stamp set stamped onto ww card, matted onto night of navy card and finally mounted onto a piece of whisper white which has been embossed with the tufted folder and sponged with poppy parade. Finished off with a Poppy parade mini striped ribbon bow and a tag from the wood crate framelit tied on with some copper thread.

This card uses the Colour my season bundle. The floral image is stamped and coloured using the watercolour pencils then the image is cut using the label dies. It is reassembled onto a night of navy card using several layers of dimensionals,

Finished with white organza bow.

This card uses share what you love and subtle designer series paper, lined alphabet stamps and dies, beautiful bouquet stamps and dies. I've used petal pin ink, soft sea foam and mint macaron.

I have coloured the images using stampin blends in old olive, poppy parade and soft sea foam and added a touch of wink of stella. I created the poinsettia using the small leaf stamp from the Rooted in nature stamp set, in merry merlot and old olive. I fussy cut the leaves, shaped them and added wink of stella to the merry merlot ones and a faceted gem in clear. Before attaching the poinsettia  I added some embossing using the seasonal wreath embossing folder

Sunday tutorial. Monochrome card

Hi everyone this is my second Sunday tutorial. Sorry no video
This weeks card is a simple monochrome card using Crumb cake and very vanilla

The first step is to create a portrait card blank this is a piece of card 14.8cm by 21cm folded to make a 14.8cm by 10.5 cm card blank
The second step is to cut a piece of crumb cake card 13.3cm by 10cm and emboss with an embossing folder of your choice. I’ve used Tin tile dynamic from Stampin Up which will be available in September.
Tie a ribbon around the bottom portion for this I’ve used a spotted tulle
Next I’ve cut the middle label die from the stitched seasons framelits and stamped the wheat image and the ‘wishing you all the best’ sentiment. These are from the Blended Seasons stamp set. I’ve brushed the stamped image with a little water to make it a little softer and then attached it to the card with dimensionals  voila clean and simple.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial.

If you need any supplies please head to my shop or just ask.

A little sketch challenge

Hi
I saw this sketch And challenge on a Facebook page I follow
cards and a cuppa with sarah Jane

And I thought I’d give it a go. 

I already had my Christmas papers on my desk so I decided to use those 

Hers what I came up with 

I think it turned out pretty cute 

Colour combo week 4: painted harvest

This weeks challenge is with the following colours

Grapefruit grove

Real red

Night of navy 

As always any neutral colour can be added, so I’ve used mossy meadow for the leaves. 

This colour combination lead me to reach for my painted harvest stamp set. 

Using grapefruit grove as the base layer of the flower and real red as the top layer with stamped off night of navy for the centres. 

I’ve matted onto a piece of night of navy card. I embossed a piece of white card with the new tufted embossing folder and added real red ink over the top. I finished it off with a bow of striped real red ribbon. 

I hope you like my project if you have any question please just ask.

Colour combo week 1: Beautiful bouquet

Hi

I’ve joined in with a colour combo challenge with some of the team I’m in.
Each week we will be given 3 colours to work with and we can also use any neutral colour too.
The first weeks challenge is pineapple punch, shaded spruce and pumpkin pie.
I used my colour swatch to put the colours together and thought oh eck how can I create anything with those colours.
This is what I came up with

I started with a whisper white thick card base A6 landscape. 

I cut a mat of pumpkin pie card and embossed using the line folder rotating 90 degrees and embossing it again. 

I cut a bouquet of flowers and stamped a sentiment in the shadede spruce and pineapple punch before cutting out layered ovals. 

All that was needed finally was a small pineapple punch bow. 

Colour combo week 2 : Pop of petals

Hi

I’ve joined in with a colour combo challenge with some others in our Stampin Up team this weeks colour combo is pineapple punch, old olive and early espresso. 

I’ve used the Pop of petals and artisan textures stamp sets from Stampin up and I think this card is really zingy 

I stamped the images in early espresso and punched out the flowers and leaves. Using sponge daunted I added more colour to the punched pieces and even used the texture stamps to the leaves. 

I stamped a random textured background and glued the flowers and leaves down adding a faceted gem to the centres. 

I matted and layered on to a very vanilla thick cardstock base standard A6 size. 

Enjoy

Good morning. And the sun continues to shine isn’t it great.
Hi and welcome. Just a little catch up
With the launch of the new catalogue I took part in a paper share. This meant I got a piece of each of the new papers available right now. It was a great way to see it all and be able to use it in projects but for a fraction of the cost. It gave me a great insight into which papers I really needed more of and ones that are a little out of my craft zone.
With all these new papers I just had to start creating.

This what I started with. A petal pink card base and a night of navy mat embossed with the 3 d  layered leaves. And on top a piece of twinkle twinkle dsp. Then my mojo ran away. So for a couple of days this sat on my desk just waiting for that little guy to return. 

This is what he came back with. I think it’s super cute. What do you think?  

Now don’t be thinking you have to have all the papers but if there are a few that catch your eye then July’s offer is great: buy 3 dsp stacks and get a 4th free (selected ones only and only for July 2018)

 That’s all for this week. Have a great week, enjoy the sun but stay safe.

A very quick card today. The little tall notelets in the new occasions catalogue can be the sweetest just for you note. I made this in a flash, to pop in with an item I’d sold, as a thank you.
I used the fruit basket stamps and itty bitty punches and the new adhesive backed sequins.

Same layout 3 but different levels

Hi after reading Stampin success quarter 1 2018. I knew I had to try the example of extending the techniques on the same layout.

I’ve used the perennial birthday stamps with calypso coral, old olive and berry burst Stampin markers   

I’ve used a standard A6 landscape card with peekaboo peach as the mat.

Petal passion dsp

A couple of quick cards using the new petal passion dsp from the spring catalogue.
This lovely striking black and white printed paper is just asking to be coloured. Using a combination of the blends and the write markers. I’ve added the saleabration shimmery ribbon and stamps from the colour me happy set.

Sister

i love the eclipse cards at the moment and did this one today. I used the petal perfect dsp and the large letter dies. I coloured the flowers using the stamping up blends in calypso coral and old olive shading with both the light and dark. The happy birthday is from the picture perfect stamp set and the ribbon is the shimmery ribbon available in the sale-a-bration item when you spend £45 or more.
