Altenew - Beautiful Day

Hi everyone! 

In todays card I used the Mini Misti (which i am absolutely obsessed with) with Altenew's Beautiful Day Stamp Set. 

If there would be one tool I would highly recommend it would be the Misti. Yes you can do the same thing with your acrylic blocks...but lets be honest, how many of us have ruined a card by stamping something crooked or splotchy. The Misti makes it pretty much impossible to get a dodgy stamp..so for me, its pretty amazing. 

I love the Beautiful Day stamp set from Altenew. I did have to fussy cut the flower and leaves for this card as i didn't have the coordinating dies, but they are on my to buy list :)

 The vellum is from Stampin Up - Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack & the patterned paper is American Crafts Dreamy Days 12 x 12 single sheet. 

To finish off this card i used the Pretty Pink Posh 4mm & 6mm clear sequins. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Be sure to check out the links below for all the products used in this card.

Happy crafting :)

Stampin Up - Happy Birthday

Hi all,

Getting back into making some cards with this set! 

I think it's a great idea to make a set of the same card. I don't always have hours to spend making cards and when I find a card style I like it doesn't take me long to duplicate it and make 5 or more! This means I have more cards on hand to send to friends and family! 

Products used: 

- Rich Razzleberry cardstock 

- Poppy Crafts White Cardstock 

- Stampin Up Lotus Blossom Stamp Set

- Hero Arts Happy Stamp & Cut Set

- Hero Arts Ultra Pink Ink

PLANNER STICKERS!!!!

Hi crafty peeps! 

For the last few weeks I have been playing with my silhouette software! Gosh there is so so much to learn...I swear I learn something new everyday (hats off to those who do tutorials on the software...I love them) 

Here's a sample of what I've been making! 

I can't wait to continue making all sorts of fun designs!

I hope you have all had a fabulous holiday like me but unfortunately it's back to work tomorrow for me!

I will hopefully be uploading a card post tomorrow morning :) 

Until then...happy crafting!! 

Hi All

I hope you've all had fun with the Black Friday sales...I know I did (unfortunately my bank account didn't) 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while..I have been super busy with work and probably will be for a while!! 

I promise I will be 100% committed to my posts after the Christmas season...I promise :) 

In the mean time happy crafting & Merry Christmas! 

Sharing Handmade Kindness

Today I created a pack for a friend for Jennifer McGuirres sharing handmade kindness month. I used the Simon Says Stamp flowers on my mind & happy everyday stamp sets. 

I used Jennifer Mcguirres technique with the prisma white pencil and a white gel pen to create this background! I then heat embossed with White Hero Arts embossing powder onto some cardstock vellum! Using me tiny attacher from stampin up I stapled the vellum to the background piece! 

This is a great card to do in bulk as you can do it one step at a time! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy crafting :) 

Watercolour: thinking of you

Hi crafty friends, 

For this blog Challenege I decided to go simple! This card would be perfect to do in bulk as its quite simple! All I did was use my watercolour paper, some distress inks (abandoned coral, worn lipstick & picked raspberry) and some perfect pearls to create a watercoloured background! I then used my stampin up hearts framelits to cut a heart out of my watercolour piece! 

Popping this heart up on some whisper white cardstock backed on a calypso coral card base! 

And that's it!

Hi Everyone. For this blog challenge you had to choose a theme starting with the letter 'N'. I chose Navy! I whipped out my Vintage Flowers Altenew Stamp Set and some inks and stamped this floral cluster. I then backed it on Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack from Stampin Up. This card really took no time at all, and is definitely a card you could do in bulk.

Simon says stamp: Monday Blog Challenge

Hi all, 

Today's blog post will be entered into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge!! 

This card is actually super simple. 

I used the Poinsettias Inspired by Stamping stamp set, versa mark ink and my new Hero Arts White Embossing Powder to stamp this gorgeous background! I then used Barn Door, Fired Brick & Aged Mahogany distress inks to create this background. I used the lightest colour first (barn door) and covered the whole page. I then used the other 2 darker colours to pull from the edges. I then stamped the wplus9 Festive Greetings happy holidays sentiment in Stampin Up Mossy Meadow! 

And that's it! Like I said it's really quite a simple card :) 

Thanks for stopping by...I hope to see you again soon!

Simon Says Stamp: Monday Blog Challenge

Hi All,

Todays card post will be entered into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge - Wonderful Watercolour.

a

To make this card I used some watercolour paper and peerless watercolours. I added a layer of colour onto the paper, then set it to dry. Once it had dried I then went back with a second layer of colour to create a more intense background. Once the second layer was dried I added a polka dot stencil (made with my Silhouette Cameo machine) and used a baby wipe to dab away some the colour.

Using my Silhouette Cameo Machine I cut out the work Merry in silver foil cardstock and 4 layers of white card stock to add some dimension.

Adding the word Christmas stamped onto some white cardstock and sequins this card was done!!
