Peaceful Poppy

Friday 28 February 2020

Have you ever started a card and have the final product turn out completely different from what you were planning?  Well, that's what happened with this card.  The Peaceful Moments bundle coordinates so well with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper that most of my cards tend to be bright and feature Poppy Parade as the colour.  Not so with this card! 

I used the small poppy die that is a group of poppies joined together to create a template to sponge over and then turned over the template and adhered it to my card.  I like how it turned out!

    Beautifully Braided

    Tuesday 25 February 2020

    This week I'm sharing cards made using the Beautifully Braided Bundle.  It includes the stamp set with the lovely gingko leaves as well as the punch to create this beautiful braid.  For today's card I used only 2 colours - Crumb Cake and Garden Green. 



    I stamped the image in Crumb Cake and then filled in the leaves using Crumb Cake.  The pop of colour comes from the Garden Green twine (part of the Country Club twine combo).


    Isn't this dotted braid pretty for the inside of the card!

      Beautifully Braided

      Sunday 23 February 2020

      I love the image of gingko on the Beautifully Braided stamp set.  It reminds me of a necklace I once had with a ginko leaf on it - I wore this necklace all of the time until it finally was looking a bit worn!

      I created this card and used a technique to emboss that I hadn't used in a long time - I stamped the image with Garden Green ink and then embossed using Clear Embossing Powder.  I'm not sure why I forget about this technique - it's a great way to get an embossed image in any colour.  The trick is to make sure your ink pad is juicy and you sprinkle the embossing powder on immediately after stamping!

        Morning Star

        Friday 21 February 2020

        Did you notice this stamp set in the 2020 Mini Catalogue?  It's called Morning Star and it coordinates with the Stitched Stars Dies.  I lived in a house once that had Morning Glory all over - I fought with it for the longest time as everyone thinks of it as a weed.  Finally, I gave up - why was I trying to get rid of all of the vines with the beautiful flowers!  





        Check out the instructions and supply list for this card!

        Stay tuned for a box made from the Stitched Stars dies.  I'll be casing the idea from Shelli Gardner's presentation at the last Stampin' Up! OnStage event.

            Peaceful Moments

            Sunday 16 February 2020

            Have you noticed the Peaceful Moments Bundle in the 2020 Mini Catalogue?  I love it when Stampin' Up! creates products that pair together so beautifully!  They did an amazing job with the Peaceful Moments and Peaceful Poppies Suites.  For this card, I've used the Peaceful Moments bundle along with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

              Happy Valentine's Day

              Friday 14 February 2020

              Happy Valentines day!  Did you make a card for a special someone (or many special someones) in your life?  Here's the card I made for my husband.  I absolutely love the From the Heart Designer Series Paper.  It's hard to see in the pictures, but some of the sheets are foil - love it!

              I paired the beautiful paper with the Meant to Be stamp set and Stitched Be Mine dies from the Annual Catalogue.  A perfect match!

                  Parisian Beauty

                  Sunday 9 February 2020

                  I love Paris so when I saw the Parisian Beauty Bundle and coordinating Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper, I knew I had to buy it!  To top it off, the flowers remind me of spring on the West Coast where we are lucky to have lots of Cherry Blossoms.

                  I designed this card for a swap.  I love how it turned out!


                  I cut the Eiffel Tower out of a Champagne Foil Sheet.  It adds just the right amount of bling to my card.

                      So Sentimental

                      Tuesday 4 February 2020

                      I love the So Sentimental stamp set with the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies!  My original plan was to use Designer Series Paper on this card, but in the end used the Buffalo Check stampset.  I really like the combination of Basic Grey and Poppy Parade.
