Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a slimline card created using item from the Florals in Bloom suite.  I've used Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath and Balmy Blue with Lemon Lime Twist. I used Blending Brushes to add ink to the centre of the die cuts to make the intricate fine line dies really pop. I really like the slimline size for these flowers, I can't decide if I prefer the pink or purple tones in these flowers, the are both equally gorgeous! After heat embossing the sentiment I added a little touch of bling with rhinestones to finish. 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.  Pretty Florals ...

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the Storybook Moments suite. The All Star 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. This suite is super cute, I would call it "old style design theme", it brought me back to my childhood the moment I saw it.... wait did I just call myself old? I've coloured images from the bundle with Stampin Blends then die cut or in the case of the stone wall and background fussy cut, then created my "Easter Friends" scene. The embossed Crumb Cake background is the Sale-a-Bration is the Starstruck Embossing Folder, and I added a bow with co-ordinating Bakers Twine.

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the Regal Winter suite. The All Star 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. I decided to create a pastel slimline card share that this suite is not limited to the darker bolder colours in the DSP. I've used Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath for the flowers and Soft Sea Foam for the foliage. For the background I lightly blended Pool Party before adhering the intricate die cuts to the top and bottom, then built the floral arrangement on top. I sentiment is Soft Sea Foam on Soft Sea Foam, and for that touch of bling Iridescent Pearls were perfect for my colour combination.

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the Mediterranean Blooms suite. The All Star 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. I used the masking technique to stamp down the edge of the card front, one of my favourite techniques as it can give a totally different look to a stamped design when it is overlaid multiple times to cover a larger space on your card than just simply stamping. I decided to do a "wash of colour" using watercolour pencils for todays design as my previous projects have had quite vivid colouring, I like to think of it as "less is more". To fill the fruit I lightly applied ink to a blending brush and lightly applied. After stamping the sentiment I added a little bling with rhinestones, and I was done - I was surprised how quickly this card came together. Mediterranean Blooms...

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the  Take to the Sky suite  from the new Annual Catalogue. The All Star 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. This suite leans towards masculine themed cards (my nemesis) so it has been a personal challenge to create with this suite, so what do I do when I'm stuck for ideas? I search Pinterest, where I saw some cards using the Perennial Postage Dies, and since I have all this gorgeous coordinating DSP I also channelled Kylie with #loveitchopit for inspiration. I am sooooo happy with the finished card! It really came to life when I added the DSP base (thank you to my inner Kylie!). My Dad will love this card, he has been an avid stamp collector since childhood. Take to the Sky Inspiration Below is a sneak peek of what’s in store with this month’s Bundle. You’ll s...

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the  Nature's Sweetness suite  from the Mini Catalogue. The All Star 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. I've tried a monochromatic mood with a pop of colour.  I used a Blended Brush to apply Soft Sea Foam the the edges of the card front, with just a light touch of Blueberry Bushel then toddled off to the kitchen and ran my finger tips under the tap and flicked the water onto the card front to create the watercolour splatter. While the card front was drying I stamped the leaves on Soft Sea Foam cardstock and then coloured with Stampin' Blends.  The flowers were stamped on Basic White and coloured with a mix of Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath, then I went around the edge with Soft Sea Foam before die cutting. Nature's Sweetness Inspiration Below is a sn...

Hello crafters, December is here and so is a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the  Garden Walk suite  from the Mini Catalogue. The All Star 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. This suite is super versatile with the Modern Garden Stamp Set having a variety of sentiments for many occasions - a must for any stampers stash! My tutorial was for a Christmas themed card, and today I've used a more generic sentiment that could be used for many occasions, not just a birthday. I created the monochrome background using Blending Brushes with Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape - I blended on a full size piece then trimmed to leave a white border on the card base. After stamping 2 images in each colour, I die cut with the second smallest square from the Stylish Shapes dies, the positioned on the cared and adhered ...
