Rain or Shine Umbrella

After yesterday's ESAD blog hop I've got tonnes of creative ideas mulling around in my head. One of these ideas was to use the Rain an Shine Stamp Set and the Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Series Paper.

 

 

I really wanted to use the cloud page of the Designer Series Paper as the main layer and then put various sized layers on top. It isn't how I first imagined it would turn out but I really love what I have put together!

 

 

 

Doesn't the DSP really lend itself to bright colours! And how cute is that umbrella finished of with the little flower!

I've decided to make 3 cards today using the Oh Hello stamp set and co-ordinating Framelits Dies - Ovals Collection.

 Oh Hello Stamp Set and Oval Collection Framelits Bundle

 



My first card uses some layers of the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper also from the seasonal catalogue.

 



Don't you just love the flower trim. It's so pretty and can be dyed to any colour you want!

 

 My next card uses a few layers of the new Paper Doilies and then layering the stamped elements on top all finished off with a row of Pearl Basic Jewels.

 

 I 'fussy' cut the flower out and then popped it up on the chevron oval with some dimensionals.

 

 

 My last card I wanted to use lots of layers of the Framelits Dies - Oval Collection. I just love the way this card has turned out! Hubby said he liked this one alot too!

 

 

Here is a close up of all the ovals.

Today I have made a sympathy card using the beautiful Apothecary Art Set.

Product Spotlight - Textured Impressions Cloudy Day Embossing Folder

This is one of those products that when I got the new Seasonal Catalogue I said "I  have to have that"! I love the Cloudy Day embossing folder and again can see this getting alot of use!

When I originally started making this card I originally thought I might be nice to sponge Marina Mist ink over the embossed vellum to give it a more 'sky' look. I decided against it figuring that because I was using Marina Mist Card stock behind the vellum that would give it a 'blue' tone and I really wanted the dots of the clouds to look white still instead of blue.

I've also used some new ribbon from the Seasonal Catalogue -Striped Organdy Ribbon, and it only comes in those 3 colours - Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Old Olive. Isn't it lovely!

I decided to make 3 cards today using 3 of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets. The first card is using the gorgeous set Pretty Petites.

 

This is a set of 8 and you can earn separately the Petite Curly Label punch which co-ordinates with this set.

 

 

The next Sale-a-bration set I used was  Madison Avenue. This is a set of 5 and is perfect for stamping some beautiful flowers.

 

 

 

The ribbon and the button are Sale-a-bration items too! Don't you just love them!

 

 

The last card I made using Sale-a-bration items in this hop is using Bloomin' Marvelous. This is also a set of 8 and is just stunning.

 

 The small butterfly from this stamp set is punched out with a punch from our up coming Seasonal Catalogue (a sneak peek for you) and that also layers perfectly with the Elegant butterfly punch from our Annual catalogue.

 

 

 All the Designer Series Paper comes from the Sale-a-bration DSP 'Sycamore Street'. Don't you just love Sale-a-bration!

Blue Ribbon Birthday

This is one of those cards that turns out alot different to what you thought it would be when you first start to make a card.
Again I started with some inspiration from Pinterest and as I kept creating the card kept changing.

I was having a play around with some new products too due out here in Australia Feb 1st. I'm loving the honeycomb embossing folder. I'm seeing that get alot of use. Don't you just love the hung up cute clips too.

 

 

And before you ask no there isn't a punch to go with the honeycomb embossing folder. All those hexagons were all hand cut.

 

Better get this in an envelope and in the post to reach my nephew by the end of the week.
