Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Happy weekend crafty friends! I finally manged some crafty time in what has been a busy and productive week. I've had the Perfectly Penciled DSP for a while now and decided that it was time to cut into it and share with you, I've used the stripes and a fussy cut floral arrangement in today's design. Some days I just don't have the patience to fussy cut, but today it was exactly what I needed - taking time to myself and immersing in the cut and turn movement was so relaxing. I love the effect of a pop of colour on an otherwise black and white design, and you know me - that pop would be PINK! I used the scalloped edge from the Penned Flowers dies with Polished Pink, the delicate stitching in the die cut adding to the effect of the card. For a touch of shine and bling I added the Sale-a-Bration Silver and Gold Specialty Paper behind the flowers, and added a silver embossed and die cut sentiment from the Sending Smiles Bundle , and a cute little bow with Elegant Trim . T

Hello crafty friends, I was stuck for ideas, so visited my Pinterest board with card sketches for this design. I started by stamping image and image from Full of Love o n Basic White cardstock with Memento Black ink, then coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink, So Saffron and Cherry Cobbler.  I cut the coloured image using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies set , cut Calypso Coral with the long wide banner. I cut and created the large banner in Mossy Meadow. Here's what I did behind the scenes with the banner: I added the circle image using Dimensionals, and to finish added 3 Basic Rhinestone Jewels for at touch of Bling. 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 an

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new All Star Tutorial. This month we are showcasing the  He's the Man suite  from the Annual Catalogue. The All Star Tutorial Design Team not only design a Tutorial Project that’s exclusive but we also each design an additional project to share here for further inspiration. My card today is a "no stamp" card, I've utilised the "pop out" elements in the He's a Man Designer Series Paper pack for my sentiment. I deliberately kept the design simple, choose coordinating patterns of DSP and layered Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Early Espresso crating a raised edge on the left hand side of the card. I popped the Vintage Car element and sentiment from the DSP sheet, then cut the sentiment in half so I could position above and below the car.  He's the Man Inspiration Below is a sneak peek of what’s in store with this month’s Tutorial Bundle. You’ll see my teaser in the bottom left of the image.  There is more inspiration f

Hello crafters, welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Mint Macaron, Pacific Point, Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow. I received an order this week and have been wanting to use the Perfectly Penciled DSP , so that was my starting point. I thought about colouring the images on the DSP with Stampin' Blends, but decided not to and let black and white be a feature of the card. I added stripes of Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow to either side of the DSP and adhered to the card base. Next I cut a circle of Mint Macron and overlaid with a Scalloped Circle of Vellum, and stamped and cut the sentiment using the Sending Smiles bundle, bringing in Pacific Point to complete the colour challenge. But I needed another element, and when I scanned through my stamp sets decided that a Butterfly Brilliance die cut would do the trick. To finish I added some Simply Elegant Gold Trim and Brushed Metallic Dots, the pop of gold adding just the right

Hello crafty friends, today is Share it Sunday, and what I love most about this blog hop is "anything goes".  Its been a while since I made a slimline card, and I've recently received my order with the Rays of Light background stamp..... that was my starting point for today's card. I used the Stamparatus to apply Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Fresh Freesia to the background stamp - I used a dauber, applying one colour at a time, and restamping if I wanted a deeper colour. As I stamped, my thoughts were "why was this stamp not on my first wish list?", I am totally in love with it! Because I had chosen a slimline style card, the stamp didn't cover the entire length of the card, so I decided to add a layer of clouds to the top and bottom of the card using a Basic Border die. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set and clear embossed "sunshine to brighten your day" before die cutting the cloud edge and mounting with Dimen
