Paisley and Posies - the journey begins

Don't you just love trying a new stamp set for the first time! I've finally had a chance to break out the Paisleys and Posies Bundle, and I am so impressed, dare I say it,..... it may just be my new favourite!


I couldn't pass up the Colour Challenge this week at the Global Design Project, 

likewise with the awesome sketch at Freshly Made Sketches


Challenges are such a good may to open you mind to create, they can can also give you the gentle push step outside your comfort zone, whether it be with colour or layout - both of these challenges grabbed my eye, I adore the colour combination, and love layering so I was in my element!

I changed the layout a tad, moving the banner element to the side so that the lovely paisley flowers could feature vertically, I combined 2 stamps to create the feature with the lovely sentiment from the Paisleys & Posies Bundle


I decided to use Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder for my stamping, how amazing does the the detail in these stamps look! I think the copper shines as Rose Gold when paired with Blushing Bride and Rich Razzleberry - but I then I am partial to pink!



 I also carried through colour theme and stamping to the inside of the card



I used VersaMark the same image to stamp the background on the card front, just love this subtle stamping effect.

    I think your paisley flowers are divine and I really like the background stamp you've done on the Rich Razzleberry card base. This is a really pretty card.

    Sue, this is stunning. I love that you highlighted that bright Rich Razzleberry and used ot for the base, it's so bright and fun! The gold elements are beautiful and The banner is clever too! It's very, what would you call it...bohemian? Either way, it's gorgeous! Thanks so much for playing along to the Global Design Project this week. xo

      Thanks so much Louise, I think I have fallen for this set after one use, it has so much detail with so many variables.

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.

Color Fusers Blog Hop February 2025

Welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we have pretty pastels Bubble Bath and Soft Sea Foam with a pop of colour being Costal Cabana.. I went back to one of my Annual Catalogue favourites for this card - Layers of Beauty.  This is a versatile bundle as it includes the Decorative Masks, which make for a simply gorgeous water colour effect. Being the middle of summer and over 40 ° C degrees (104 ° F) most of my flowers are looking a little "crispy", so wanting to see some fresh flowers. I stamped my outline in Soft Sea Foam and added a touch of Coastal Cabana on the end of the flowers for newly blossomed blooms, to my surprise this gave my card a hint of a vintage colouring. After die cutting the arrangement, I cut in half and trimmed a segment of mini blooms so that I could extend the images top to bottom, using dimensions to adhere to the card front. To finish I added a Gold Embossed sentiment and some Gold Twisted Thread. Continue on through t...

Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig...

Color Fusers Blog Hop November 2024

Welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the some old favorites of mine - Berry Burst, Azure Afternoon and Fresh Freesia. My creation was inspired by the fact that we had our Christmas Pageant this weekend, and that I love making Christmas cards in non traditional colours. I started by blending our featured colours in the bottom right of the card front, then I "flicked" with some water and let dry before heat embossing the sentiment from the Decorative Trees bundle. This bundle has a variety of tree dies, I chose the one with snowflakes and adhered over the blended colours, to finish I added some rhinestones for that special sparkle that Christmas brings. Continue on through the rest of the Color Fusers Blog Hop by clicking the button below for lots more inspiration using this month’s colors. Next up is the amazing Janneke Dijkstra de Jong !
