DSP Buy 3 Get 1 Free!

For more information about the promotion, contact any of the ladies on the blog hop and we will be happy to help you.

Today's two cards that I've created I have used the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper this paper reminds me of the French Impressionism and the colours are just stunning. I've also used the Floral Essence Stamp Set, Perennial Flower Punch and the Leaf Punch.

Product colours: Balmy Blue, Blackberry Bliss, Blueberry Bushel, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Petal Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White

The first card I've based the colours is from the DSP using Petal Pink, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White. The flowers have been stamped in Petal Pink Ink and lightly coloured in with the Stampin' Blends in the coordinating colour. 

The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink which coordinates with the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread. The greeting fits nicely in the 2" Circle Punch and layered with Petal Pink Cardstock using the Starburst Punch.

The second card I've used is Blackberry Bliss, Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Whisper White as you can see there are plenty of different shades of colours throughout the DSP and I've only chosen a few.

I've used the same stamp set for this card, but this flower coordinates with the Perennial Flower Punch making flowers nice and quick. Blackberry Bliss Ink for the flower, followed by colouring in with the coordinating Stampin' Blends and the leaves are in Pretty Peacock.

The elegant ribbon is Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" reversible Ribbon which has a beautiful sheen on both sides.

I've layered the DSP on both cards the same way, but changing up using different colours, flowers, Ribbons and Punches.

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue Art With Heart Team Blog Hop Week 6

Hello and welcome,

It's week 6 of the Heart of Christmas 2019 blog hop, showcasing Stampin' Up! products to create Christmas creations. I've chosen the Perfectly Plaid Bundle with Crumb Cake and Pretty Peacock for my card this week.

I've used the tree stamp from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp set and stamped the images in Pretty Peacock Ink onto coordinating Cardstock. Punched them out with the Pine Tree Punch and the third image I've used the gingham In Color 2019-2021 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper in Pretty Peacock.

Perfectly Plaid Bundle 

                                                         
To make the three Christmas Trees pop I've used Crumb Cake Cardstock and die cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, adding another layer in Pretty Peacock and the third layer in gingham Pretty Peacock DSP. I just love the stitching on the cardstock it gives you that quilted look. The base of the card is also in Pretty Peacock.

The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set and it fits perfectly inside the smallest Stitched Rectangle Die. I've cut the Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon in half, so just the edging of the scallops is only showing and layered onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I found this card nice and quick to complete. You could also change up the colours by using any of the New In Colors for 2019-2021, using the DSP and Scalloped Ribbon.

International Highlights Winners Blog hop September 2019

Hello and welcome,

Today I will be sharing with you a card that I've created for Kylie Bertucci's International Top 10 winners. Myself and nine other lucky winners are in a international blog hop in which we won a competition a few weeks ago. To view their creations please click on the list of names which you'll see after my blog.

I've used the Perennial Essence Suite which is on page 107 in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2019 - 2020. This suite comes with the Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Perennial Flower Punch which makes gorgeous layered flowers to your project.

I've used Petal Pink Ink on Whisper White Cardstock to create two flowers and I've used White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Vellum for the third flower. Punch out the stamped images and curl up the flower petals with the Bone Folder. The centre pieces are the Perennial Essence Floral Centres they have an adhesive backing and yellow fuzzy texture which finishes off the flower nicely.

The stamped leaf image is in Pear Pizzazz and coordinates with the Leaf Punch which adds an easy addition and depth to the card. The delicate Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon has been looped on the Vellum flower and I've added another piece of ribbon to the Petal Pink flower. This saves using a whole lot of ribbon which you don't see under the die cut layers of Cardstock.

I just love the beautiful Stitched Labels Dies which I've used three of the die-cut shape images to create layers with Stampin' Dimensionals and Liquid Glue. The two layers under the Stitched Circle layer have been lightly coloured in Petal Pink Ink and a Sponge Dauber. The greeting has been stamped in Pear Pizzazz to coordinate with the leaves.

The card base is thick Whisper White Cardstock and I've embossed a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my card.

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue Art With Heart Team Blog Hop Week 5

Hello and welcome,

This is week 5 with the Art With Heart Team blog hop. The Stampin' Up! products that I've used is from the Itty Bitty Bundle combined with Black, White, Silver and a touch of sparkle. I wanted an elegant card using these colours and mediums.

Itty Bitty Christmas 

Perfectly Plaid

I haven't used the White Embossing Paste with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks for awhile now and for my card, I've used the Diamond shape mask. Once the Paste has been applied to a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and I quickly sprinkled the Stampin' Glitter in Dazzling Diamonds onto the paste. You can either wait until it dries or heat set with the Heat Tool. 

The next layer I've used is a piece of Black Foil Sheet and the star Die from Christmas Layers Dies. I just love the Black Foil Sheets it can make your card shine like a black diamond. To continue with the Black Foil I punched out a Christmas Tree using the Pine Tree Punch and before adding the tree to the card, I've placed Silver Metallic Thread underneath it.

To finish off my card I've used the greeting from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set which coordinates with the Christmas Layers Dies. The Season's Greetings has been inked up in Versamark Ink, adding Black Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. The sentiment is layered over the tree with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #474

Hello and welcome,

Today I have joined in with the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #474 using the gorgeous colours Rococo Rose, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow. The team from Just Add Ink have created some amazing creations and I just had to create a card using these colours. To see their Facebook page click here for more inspiration.

I've used the Daisy Lane Bundle, punching out Daisies with the Large Daisy Punch and Medium Daisy Punch. I've added Rococo Rose and Blackberry Bliss ink with a Sponge Dauber blending the two colours together. I've also a little sparkle with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and placed Clear Facetted Gems for the centre of each Daisy.

The leaves are from the Flourish Dies and I've added Mossy Meadow ink with a Stamping Sponge. 

The Stitched Rectangles Dies have cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock and Rococo Rose Gingham In Color 2019-2021 6"x 6" DSP. I've inked up the Shimmery White piece with Mossy Meadow and flicked ink from the Aqua Painter. 

The card base is Blackberry Bliss this is such a beautiful colour and I've added Clear Wink Of Stella by flicking ink onto the card. 

To finish off the card I've wrapped Rose Metallic Thread around the Cardstock three times. The Rose is so beautiful against these colours and it complements the colours so well. The sentiment is Silver Embossed onto Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and fussy cut out.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and you must visit Just Add Ink Team to be see their amazing creations.

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue Art With Heart Team Blog Hop Week 4

Hello and welcome,

I'm so excited to be back with the Heart of Christmas blog hop for week 4 and we will be sharing products from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue.

This week's card is all about Melon Mambo and Gold, using the Perfectly Plaid Bundle which comes with the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set and Coordinating Pine Tree Punch. I just love pink and gold together it just gives you that pop of fun when creating a Christmas card.

I've used the Pigment Sprinkles in Melon Mambo and the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. I've used this technique before when I created the Daisy Lane card in the same colours a few weeks ago. I've spritzed water onto a piece of Watercolor Paper, adding a few sprinkles of the Pigment Sprinkles and blending ink with the Aqua Painter. Dry it with the Heat Tool and add a few more Pigment Sprinkles.

I've used one of the tree stamps from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark Ink, Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Punch out three Christmas trees with the Pine Tree Punch and place Stampin' Dimensionals on the back on the tree.

Using a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock I've spritzed water and add a little of the Melon Mambo Pigment Sprinkles onto a Clear Block. Then with a Aqua Painter lightly brush the colour onto the Cardstock and I also added a few splatter effects with the Painter too.

I've only used part of the greeting for the sentiment by covering up the words that I didn't want to use with a posted note, ink up with Versamark Ink and remove posted note before stamping onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. Sprinkle Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

The card base is Melon Mambo Cardstock, layered with a sheet of Gold Foil, add the inked up Shimmery White Cardstock, place the three trees and snipped out greeting.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI63



Hello and welcome,

Today I will be sharing with you a card that I've created as Guest Designer for the Colour INKspiration Crew blog hop.

If you have first come to my blog please visit enjoy seeing all the other gorgeous creations from everyone else. You may of just seen the gorgeous creation by Julia Quinn I just love the new Gold Pizza Boxes.

How gorgeous is Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray combined with Gold Foil such a stunning collection of colours together. The idea for my card was to make a soft subtle colours with a touch of gold popping up through out the card.

The coloured leaves are from the Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating Seasonal Layers Dies. I've used Sponge Daubers to softly colour them in either on a solid leaf or die cut.

Under the leaves is a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper with a mix of Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray Ink spritzed with water. The card base I've used is Seaside Spray Cardstock and a layer of Gold Foil to give the card some glimmer.

I just love the beautiful Stitched Labels Dies and the sentiment stamped in Seaside Spray Ink fits perfectly inside the die cut. I've layered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish off my card I've added the Woven Threads Sequin Assortments which comes in the new In Colors for 2019-2021. I just love how Stampin' Up! coordinate their products so when it comes to making cards seem so much easier.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights September 2019 Thinking Of You Card

Today I am participating in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights. The theme for this hop is Encouragement and to vote for my card by clicking on the link below.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights September - vote here

The card that I’ve created is for a customer who has placed an order with my hubby's company which is a hamper business called YV Hampers (Facebook Page). I make the cards for the hampers, we source produce from the Yarra Valley, Victoria and sell as Gourmet Premium Hampers. 

The request was for a “Thinking of you” masculine card, so I had chosen the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and Nature’s Roots Dies this suits both feminine and masculine cards. The following colours are Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The card base is Pretty Peacock stamped with the leaf stamp in the same colour and the gorgeous gingham DSP also in Pretty Peacock.

The next layer is Crumb Cake Cardstock stamped with the coordinating Ink using the Rooted In Nature leaf stamps. The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder creates a subtle impression onto paper giving it a unique effect. To give the piece of Subtle Cardstock an old look I’ve used my Paper Snips, ran the edges with the blade and then sponged Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Ink.  

The Crumb Cake tree trunk also has been sponged with both Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Inks. I like to add copper to the trio of colours using Copper Stampin’ Embossing Powder and Copper Trim which is a loose weave metallic trim. 

The Linen Thread has been coloured in using the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend this gave the Thread a darker look against the Crumb Cake Cardstock.

I added three Pretty Peacock textured leaves sponged also in the same coordinating Ink. The greeting Thinking of You has been stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake Cardstock and fussy cut out with the Paper Snips.

When layering up my cards I always like to add layers with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.

Voting for my card is easy, just by clicking on the Vote For Me image and chose my card.
