Pretty Pink Posh Flower Bouquet


Hi Lovelies..

I've been having a little play with some older stash just lately...  for these cards I used a set from Pretty Pink Posh called Flower Bouquet.

I coloured and fussy cut the images, then created a background using dies from Craft Addiction UK called Scallopstack..  there are squares, circles and rectangles available... and they look so good!  I cut them in white, stamped and gold heat embossed my sentiment, then matted them onto pink cardstock, and then onto my card base.  


I adhered the fussy cut image to the centre of the card using foam pads.

Penny Black Sending Blooms (again!)

Hi Lovelies..

Well I'm back with the second flower image from the Penny Black Sending Blooms set..  again, I've stamped, coloured and fussy cut the image, before creating the background.  This time I blended Distress Oxides through a circular stencil onto a stitched rectangle diecut panel.

I decided to go for yellow flowers this time... yes me, using yellow!  I thought they matched the background on which I'd used a few different greens.

Then finally I added a tiny sentiment from Craft Addiction UK, which I tied on to the stalks of the flowers, and some tiny gems, before adhering the panel to a green base panel.

Hope you like my make today... I know I'm going to get a lot of use from this stamp set..  and who doesn't like to receive flowers - even if they're card??

Big hugs...

Penny Black Sending Blooms


Hi Lovelies...

Today, I'm sharing a card I made using a fabulous stamp set from Penny Black, which I only bought last week.  It's so lovely, that I just had to stamp it straight away and get my pens out!  There's two images  in the stamp set, so you'll see the other very soon.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the flower, then I created a background using a 3D embossing folder from Altenew.  I adhered the flower with foam pads, then die cut a sentiment from gold mirri card and placed that at an angle in the corner.  I added a few sequins to match the gold, then adhered the white to a red panel to give a frame, before attaching to my card base.

Sentiment - Penny Black Hello

I really enjoyed making this card, fussy cutting and all..  hope you like it too!

Simon Says Stamp Peeking Daisy


Hi Lovelies...

Sorry to have been quiet last week, we have a new computer and it's taken some learning!  But I think I know what I'm doing now... maybe....

Now onto my card!  I've wanted this die for a good while, so when I did a Simon Says Stamp order recently, I ordered it.  It's such a simple, but very striking die.  I cut it then used a stitched square die to frame it.  Then I created a Distress Oxide blended background, splattered with gold water colour paint, for the diecut to sit on.  

I created a large square card panel cutting with a large stitched square, then used a basic square die, but this time, with a rubber mat so the square simply embossed into the card panel.  I adhered the flower square with it's pink background in the centre.


Lastly, I added a little sentiment, embossed in gold, before adhering the card panel to my card base. 


Card Info:
Dies - Simon Says Stamp Peeking Daisy, Lil' Inkers Stitched Squares,
Spellbinders Basic Squares
Sentiment - Clearly Besotted
Distress Oxides Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar
Gold Watercolour Paint

Hope you like my make today! 

Big hugs...

NB Cards Sketch Challenge Sept 25


Hi Lovelies...

Just a quickie for me today... I spotted this Sketch Challenge over at NB Cards and Crafty Friends
 Facebook Group - and immediately wanted to give it a go!  


I decided to use a border die for the vertical stripe, with two thin strips of mirri card alongside.  Then I die cut a hexagon from some Distress Oxide blended card, that had gold splatters, and used that for the main shape, with a small gold circle die cut from mirri, and a tiny sentiment backed with mirri.

Card Info:
Dies -
 Craft Addiction UK Hexagon Slatted Dies (using without the slats)
Memory Box Tessatina Border
Simon Says Stamp Circle Loops
Sentiment - Clearly Besotted Miniature Type embossed in gold
Distress Oxides - Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo,  Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves
Gold Mirri Card
Gold Watercolour Paint

Hope you like what I did.... my lovely man said 'it's very arty-farty'... I think that was a compliment! LOL!

Big hugs...
