Stampin' Up! Awash with Flowers and I create a Just for You, all occasions card

Hi all! At the moment, I'm trying very hard to get used to this new blogger format, and it is very difficult! I'm not sure I like it, but it is change after all! I have crafted tonight, so I do have a card to show you, not just my ramblings :)

Ok, so fairly basic here... a Basic Grey 4.25" Square card which I have layered Rich Razzleberry onto. For the main image panel, I have randomly stamped images from Awash with Flowers in Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry with outlines in Basic Grey. I mounted the image panel on top of the Rich Razzleberry layer and then stamped a sentiment from The Best is Yet to Come (a retired hostess sentiment set) in Basic Grey, cut it out using my circle punch and layered it on an Old Olive Scallop Circle. I added a piece of retired Kiwi Kiss ribbon (I don't have any Olive ribbon!) to finish of this card. 

I am entering this into 2 challenges tonight, the first is The Paper Players colour challenge, which was surprisingly easy for me, usually I struggle a bit with purples :) The second challenge is the new challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches which has a sketch this week

As always, thanks for dropping in, it makes my day seeing all the lovely comments you guys leave me :)

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Awash with Flowers and I create a bright Birthday card.

I spent today celebrating with my house mate, as it was his 28th birthday, but after he went to bed (he has to work early tomorrow), I went into my craft room and had a play around. I found a great video online on awesome backgrounds here. Here is my take on this card

I have only used white cardstock for this card! The coloured panels are made using my Stampin' Up! Inks and some sponges.... I have used Tempting Turquoise and Night of Navy for the blue section, then the pink section is Melon Mambo, and a touch of Poppy Parade. I then stamped my flowers from Awash with Flowers on a separate piece of card and coloured them using my Stampin' Write Markers, in Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery. I have popped the leaves using dimensionals and the sentiment is from the retired set Whimsical Words. I am entering this into the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge...

Until next time, 

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Awash with Flowers and I create a Thank You Card

Just a quick one before I head to bed....

This card was made tonight, purely because I was bit annoyed, and water colouring helps me deal with stress, I must admit, it is something I need to improve upon, as my technique isn't very good (read non-existent), so although it relieved the stress, I'm not overly happy with this card... I have used the 2 step stamping set Awash with Flowers, which comes with outlines and a solid stamp, but, for this, I have used only the out lines.  I coloured the images with my Aqua Painter and my Stampin' Up! ink pads, in Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry. I have also used the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Stack in the Brights collection, which is a great buy at only $37.95 for 40 sheets, what's even better, is it matches with all the Stampin' Up! colours perfectly!

I am entering this into the Stampin' Royalty colour challenge, 

I think I will have another play with these colours at a later date...
Thanks for stopping by, and as always, 

Happy Stampin!

Stampin' Up! Awash With Flowers and Strength & Hope make very pretty Mothers Day Cards

Hi all,
Just a quick one before I duck out to work...

This card was made using a couple of different stamp sets, Awash With Flowers, and the new Strength & Hope stamp set. I have used some pastel colours with So Saffron, Certainly Celery, and Blush Bride, which I have paired with Very Vanilla. The back ground stamp is from Strength & Hope, and I have just stamped it tone on tone. The flower is from Awash with flowers, and I have stamped it in Black ink and coloured it with my Stampin' Write Markers. 

I am entering this into a few challenges: 

Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger

Simon Says Stamp- Embossing

The Sweetest Thing - Sweet Sunday Sketch
Stampin' Up! Only - Mother's Day Cards
Just a reminder... $2 AUD/NZD from the purchase of the Strength & Hope stamp set goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!  If you would like to order this, or anything else, just click here to send me a message, or call me on 0405 173 237

Stampin' Up! Awash with Flowers and I make Just because cards

Hi all, I have been super busy preparing for my team mini launch night, which is happening tomorrow, so haven't been super active on the blog front... but.... I did want to drop in to show you a card I made tonight after getting everything packed up and ready to go....

Just a super quick one before heading to bed... This is my newest acquisition... The Stampin' Up! Two Step stamp, Awash with Flowers. I have used inspiration from the Just Add Ink Challenge, which was to make a paper craft project using your favourite chocolate bar as inspiration.... At the moment, my favourite chocolate bar is the Chunky Kit Kat, yup.... it has to be the chunky kind.... 

I have used real red on my card, but looking at the wrapper, I'm thinking poppy parade may have been a better choice..... Either way, I'm happy with how this card turned out!

Pop back in the next few days to see photos from our awesome launch event!
