You're so sublime ft Perpetual Birthday Calendar - Follow your heart

Hello!

I finally get to share my entry for this week's Global Design Project Theme Challenge (#gdp063)!The theme being "Adventure"... I decided to CASE one of my own cards. I wanted to keep it simple.

A BIG reminder that the 28th of November '16 is the last day for Stampin' Up!'s  Online Extravaganza and will feature a 24 hour Flash Sale! Don't miss out!

To get back to my entry for this week! I love the little caravan in the You're Sublime stamp set and thought that it will work just perfectly for this week's challenge!

To me a road trip spells adventure...and following your heart is definitely an adventure!

I cannot get enough of the Gold Baker's Twine from the Trio Pack in the Holiday Catalogue!

Notes

• Just adding the splatter image from the Timeless Textures stamp set makes all the difference!
• To colour the Caravan I used my trusty Aqua Blender, Shimmery Whitecardstock and three of my favorite Stampin'Up! colours!
• I was unable to capture the glimmer on camera but my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush pen added even more dazzle to my fussy cut caravan image!

I love how this card turned out! Leave a comment if you like it too!

I wish for you a wonderful week and hope that you get to spend some time crafting! If you are running out on your papercrafting supplies, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help you out! Below you will find a gallery of the products I used to create this card!

Take care!

Banners for Christmas ft Perpetual Birthday Calendar - Joyful Christmas and Happy New Year

Hello!

Yes! I am sharing another Christmas Card today! Not only a Christmas card but also a Happy New Year card! Relax! Still a while before the Season starts but that just mean you have enough time left to create some beautiful cards for your friends and family!

One of the things I love about Stampin' Up!'s new Holiday Catalogue is the amount of stamps that coordinate with framelits dies in our Annual Catalogue!

Today's card is truly simple but I still think it is quite beautiful...

Even though we enjoy a sunny Christmas in Australia, I had to add a snowflake or two...

Sooo  pretty!

My product list

Note

• Real Red and Mint Macaron is a great combination! In this instance a colour wash of Real Red on watercolour paper! This makes the Gold embossed sentiments really pop! 
• Again one of my favorite background stamps from the You've Got This! stamp set.
• The piece of Delicate White Doily peeking out from underneath the framelit adds some soft interest to a very simple card! This is also a great way to get more bang for my back, 4 cards with one Doily!
• Sequins and Basic Rhinestones add an even more festive feel to my card!
• My son thought that my card needed a bit of green! Of course I agreed with him, so I stamped a tiny snowflake from the Peaceful Pines Photopolymer stamp (133728) set in Emerald Envy!

I simple card made with a lot of love!

Hello Love - For Valentine's Day

Hello again!

And so starts the 2015 school year! I missed sharing on my blog!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner ( this coming Saturday to be precise!!),  my first project for the year had to include a heart!

For the heart card topper I used about 4 layers from the Stacked with Love DSP (p 5, OC, 137779) and one layer Typeset DSP (p 184, AC, 133704).  These two DSP's go like Peanut butter and Jelly! I used the heart shaped die from the BRAND NEW Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die set (p 9, OC, 137547) to cut through the DSP layers and used my limited sewing skills to sew through the middle of the heart. I adore this heart shape, it is a beautiful round heart! It cut quite easily through all 5 layers, but I wouldn't add more layers. 

My product list

121688 Basic Black A4 cardstock (card base)

106578 Real Red A4 cardstock

121717 Shimmery White (this really gave a WOW! effect)

137167 Perpetual Birthday Calendar Photopolymer stamp set ( for the background)

133928 Hello Love (Hostess set, sentiment)

126976 Sahara Sand Classic Stampin' Pad (for the backround)

126949 Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad (for the sentiment)

Finish of with a read rhinestone! Very easy! 

I loved the end product and hope you do too!

Take care!
