Designer Tin of Cards - Sending Love

Hello!

So we are having the entire interior house painted! What a mess! All over! It will definitely be worth it in the end! My craftroom however, is done and repacked! Yay! Just in time for me to share my entry for this week's Global Design Project Colour Challenge (#gdp053)! I love a colour challenge!

I always aim for simple cards... I love the idea that my ideas can be easily replicated! And Pinned! ;-)

A pretty little square card (measuring 10,5cm x 10,5cm)!

The colour inspiration!

The Golden Baker's Twine from the Trio pack (p 16 of the new Holiday 

Catalogue) is so beautiful! It matches all of Stampin' Up!'s other Gold products perfectly!

My Product List

Notes

• To get a watercolour effect, I used an Aqua Painter to paint colour onto my stamps. Only add the tiniest bit of water to the ink.
• For the flower centers I punched out dots (from Gold glimmer Paper) with a 1/16" circle punch and adhered them with a Fine-tip Glue Pen. A little patience will be needed for this step... and reading glasses! 
• The Tin of Cards Photopolymer stamp set includes beautiful sentiments! Definitely a set worth getting!

Don't forget to let me know what you think! I love reading your comments!

Take care!

Rose Wonder ft Touches of Texture and Tin of Cards stamp set - Sending You Love

Hello Cardmakers!

I am so excited about the project I am sharing today! With this post I will also be taking part in Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin'Up! Blog Highlight! You can vote for your favourites! The theme for this highlight is Random Act of Kindness, Encouragement, etc.

I was inspired by the lovely colour palette of the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper. So bright and beautiful! This was also last week's projects for my Stampin' with Mel class! We stamped 4 Note Cards and their Envelopes and then made a beautiful Vellum envelope to wrap them all in... tied with a beautiful bow and tag! Each card had a different greeting from the Rose Wonder stamp set, my favorite greeting from the set is "What a beautiful blessing you are to me." How many people in our lives deserve to hear this?

The Touches of Texture stamp set for splashes of colour!

Who doesn't love a butterfly? Or Gold?

All wrapped up in this!

My Product List

Notes

• I love being inspired by Stampin'Up!'s Designer Series Paper! Their colour combo's are always perfect!
• I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the "wrapping" for my gift pack out of Vellum! 
• One of the stamp images in the Touches of Textures set features alphabet letters, be sure to check that you will stamp it in the upright position! I do not speak from experience here! (Wink! Wink!) 

Only thing left to do know is hand these to someone?!

Please hop on over to Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights and vote for your favorites! The top ten will get to take part in an international blog hop! The voting process is as easy as a CLICK!

Beautiful Branches Thinlits Dies ft. Designer Tin of Cards - Get Well

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card made using the beautiful and very versatile Thoughtful Branches Bundle. This bundle is part of a Stampin'Up! promotion for the month of August and is truly a great purchase! Remember if you purchase through my online shop and use my hostess code for August 2016 (YE77SCEH) , I will send you a mystery gift!

No choice... Get Well!

What  colour combo would you choose...?

Notes

• I framed my Shimmery White paper with Washi tape (thank you Sara Douglass - CEO of Stampin' Up!)  before using my Aqua Painter to add colour! I love the result!
• I definitely suggest using the Precision Base Plate for these thinlits as well as the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the intricate pieces.
• For my tree I cut one layer from Gold Glimmer Paper and two extra layers from Whisper White Thick cardstock.

Just the card to brighten up someone's day when they feel a bit under the weather... Don't forget to share your colour combo's in the comment section!

I will be sharing some more ideas for this bundle during the week! Get yours so we can play together!

Take care!
