Baby Girl Card

I've made it back again this week for #GDP003, I saw the theme earlier this week and have been racking my brain as to what I could come up with, here it is:



If you haven't already guessed here is the theme for this week:


 I made the pram by cutting a circle from framelits, then marked halfway, and in the upper portion divided into 6 to work out where I wanted to fold to create the top of the pram (I did a test run on plain paper, and worked out that I only need score 4 of the 6 lines).

Now the dilemma, I rummaged through my DSP and wasn't happy with anything I was finding, they were all to busy or bright and wouldn't highlight the folds in the pram, that's when it hit me - I was partially taken with  a card from #GDP002 by Guest Design Team Member Carolina Evans, I can use the little flower from the Cottage Greetings stamp set!

Surprise, I just had to use pink! I decided on Blushing Bride and stamped in the same ink to give a delicate effect, it's such a cute little flower, but I needed some thing more..... the squiggly border from Tin of Cards, stamped with Versamark and embossed with silver - just perfect for baby don't you think?

I created 2 sets of wheels, but wasn't happy with either, so I tried out my latest purchase; the Banner Triple Punch - its awesome!  The sentiment is also from Tin of Cards.

Thanks for visiting today,

      Thanks Jess - I'm glad I followed through with the idea of folding the card, makes for something a little bit "outside the square"

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running. If you live in Australia and don't already have a Demonstrator I'd love to be yours.  Hues of Happiness DSP Scalloped Contour Dies   Color & Cont

Color Fusers Blog Hop May 2024

It's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Pebbled Path, Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve - perfect colours for a Mother's Day Card! I've used the new Attention Shoppers Bundle for my design - a super fun set with a mix of font and cute pictures that can be mixed and matched to be used for so many occasions. I added some InColor DSP and cut the feature circle using the online exclusive  Everyday Details Dies  - they are just amazing, I missed them being released due to being so busy at work - so take it from me, make sure you keep an eye on the Online Exclusives released each March, July and November. I decided on a "wash of colour" using Stampin' Blends then die cut with the coordinating dies. After stamping the sentiment I adhered the 3 die cut images and finished by adding a touch of bling with Silver ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.

Color Fusers Blog Hop July 2024

Hello July! and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the Black, White and a colour of our choice. Well, I just happened to have Pretty in Pink on my desk from another project, and being pink, that became the colour of my choice! I started by grabbing a blending brush and applying Pretty in Pink, then run my fingers under the tap and splattered water onto the pink - the longer you leave the water the more colour it draws out from the card stock. When the card front had dried completely I stamped the butterfly and sentiment from Sketched Butterflies , adding splatters with a Stampin Write marker and the "splatter" stamp from Layering Leaves . To finish I splattered some Wink of Stella and added some rhinestones for that touch of bling!

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2024

Hello and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the 2024-2026 InColors. I decided to create a "mixer" using all the colours with a stamp from Country Birdhouse. The flowers are a mix of Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink with a Peach Pie centre, with Shy Shamrock leaves.  I used a Blender Brush with Summer Splash to the top and bottom of the card, working from the bottom edge up fading the colour as I went, then added a touch to the top for symmetry. To finish I added a touch of bling with Iridescent Pearls. These colours just "pop", so bright and cheery!
