More Petite Petals

Just popping in to say hello and show one of the cards I did as a Technique class using embossing folders as a window frame.  I can't even remember when I did this but realised I hadn't share this project when going through my photos!  So here we go:

Hmm no I see why I haven't shared!!  The photos aren't the best!  Thank goodness I'm starting a digital online photography class tomorrow!!

 Within the embossed window frames, I've stamped my Petite Petals flowers using Blushing Bride ink and then added some leaves stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

Add some dimension with extra flowers, pearls and leaves and the card is done.  Just a sentiment to complete!!

Enjoy xx

Petite Petals sneak peek!

So I just thought I would pop in and share one of the projects from my Petite Petals workshop.  I love this card, you can make it as fancy or as simple as you like.  Either way, it will still look beautiful!

I've kept the card base nice and simple with just Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped on my birthday sentiment and then got to decorating.  Oops, just noticed the card is slightly crooked in this pic, oh well.  At least it's straight in real life!!

On top of a piece of Burlap Ribbon, I've added some flowers punched from Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Baja Breeze (I think).  I just used scraps of coordinating blues to make this card.  Add some pearls and a little bow.  Your card is done.  And doesn't it look pretty!

So if you would like to do the Petite Petals workshop and see the other projects we'll make, just contact me!

Inspiration for this card, came from here.

Hello, Baby

So yesterday I shared a card for a new baby girl.  Today I share a card for a baby boy!  Still using the Baby, We've Grown stamp set.  I am so in love with that stamp set!!

 I love love LOVE the little bunny rabbit.  It's the cutest little bunny I've ever seen.  Well, I think so! I've stamped the bunny onto a piece of Watercolour CS and used my watercolour pencils for colouring in.  Oh so divine and so fun!

I've added a little 'hello baby' sentiment and started decorating the main card.  Can you see the cute little flowers I've punched from Coastal Cabana CS.  I love that colour and a great colour to use for baby boys!

 

I've embossed the bottom of the card with a Swiss Dots Embossing folder, added some Bakers Twine in Pool Party & Whisper White colours, and of course another little cute flower with pearls. LOVE!!  This card was inspired by this Pinterest share.  Love!

So here's what I used:

Stamps: Baby, we've grown & Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Inks: Memento Black ink & assorted Watercolour pencils
Papers: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana & Crumb Cake CS
Accessories: Bakers Twine, Itty Bitty punches and pearls
Big Shot: Oval Framelits & Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Sweet Girl

So while my baby has just turned four, turns out I've needed to make a few baby cards lately.  I don't get to make them as often, so I enjoy every moment and chance that I do.

Today's card uses the 'Baby, We've Grown' stamp set.  I truly love and adore this stamp set.  The images are so sweet.  And as I needed to make a baby girl card, the perfect set to use!

I have used Strawberry Slush and Crumb Cake as my feature colours.  The Strawberry Slush is so striking against the Whisper White background!

I've used my (now retired) little hearts embossing folder to emboss the background.  I love those sweet little hearts.  I cut my layered cardstock from Whisper White & Strawberry Slush CS using the Window Frames Collection dies.  I stamped my little shoes in black and then used my blender pens to colour the little shoes using Blushing Bride & Pretty in Pink inks.

I've added a little hearts border using an old punch and added some Petite Petals flowers stamped in Strawberry Slush and Blushing Bride, and then cut with the coordinating Petite Petals punch.  Add some pearls and they look so cute.

And last but not least, I added a little baby sentiment 'hello baby'.

So here's what I used:

Stamps: Baby, we've grown & Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Inks: Memento Black, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink (retired) inks
Papers: Whisper White, Strawberry Slush & Crumb Cake CS
Accessories: Blender pen, punches and pearls
Big Shot: Window Frames Collection

My card was inspired by the Stampin' Pretty version of a little baby girl card.

Kinda Eclectic

Kinda Eclectic.  That's a bit of a mouthful!  And spelling, well, lets say thank goodness for spell check.

So Kinda Eclectic is one of the stamp sets I received back in May when I attended the Stampin' Up! convention.  And now I can share one of the projects we made. This card became my basis for workshop and demo cards!

This card (which I made at the convention) features the new colours of Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist and Mossy Meadow inks.  You can also see the new Blackberry Bliss in the strip of DSP sitting just under the sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped in Black over the typewriter style font which I had previously stamped in Crumb Cake.  Add some punches and bling, and you have a really sweet card.

While at Convention, we also made a stepped up version of the card.  This time you can see I've added extra details with the Linen Thread, a small butterfly punched from Vellum CS and clipped with the cutest little paper clip to the larger stamped butterfly.  We also used the Honeycomb Embossing Folder to add interest.  Who knew!  You could use Embossing Folders for stamping!!

So the final card is the one we made at my Catalogue launch last week. We used Washi Tape from the Project Life set and used a glue dot to add the Vellum butterfly.  Such a sweet version of the original card!

So here's what we used to make these cards (all variations):
Stamps: Kinda Eclectic
Inks: Hello Honey, Crumb Cake, Tangelo Twist, Black & Mossy Meadow
Papers: Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Hello Honey CS, Vellum
Accessories: Butterfly punches, Itty Bitty Accents punch, rhinestones & Washi tape from the Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Pack

You can never have too much happy

You can never have too much happy.  Isn’t that the best saying.  Happy.  Everyone has to have happy.  So it was with much pleasure to use this little stamp with the ever so versatile Petite Petals stamp set!

And if you’re wondering what the stamp is from, why it’s from the Yippee-Skippee stamp set!

So, I’ve stamped the sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar, and stamped all the little (or should I say petite) flowers with Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Coastal Cabana.  I’ve punched a few of them with the coordinating Petite Petals punch and popped them up with dimensionals.  Now did you notice ….. All of these colours are from the In Colours range of 2013 which are still available.  Yippee!!

The card has been layered on Whisper White and Strawberry Slush CS with a layer embossed with the Beautifully Baroque Embossing folder.

To make this card, you need:

Stamps: Yippee-Skippee & Petite Petals

Inks: Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe & Coastal Cabana

Papers: Whisper White & Strawberry Slush CS

Accessories: Petite Petals Punch & rhinestones

Big Shot: Beautifully Baroque EF

Playing with Blendabilities

So, have you played with the new Blendabilities yet?  My lovely friends and customers had their first play on Sunday at my Catalogue Launch.  I'm currently preparing classes for Blendabilities but wanted to share a peek of the card we made.

To help us ALL learn about the new Blendabilties, their uses, properties and techniques... Stampin' Up! have released a number of YouTube tutorials. Be sure to watch them xx
