Best Dressed with the All Star Design Team

Welcome to this months All Star Design Team blog hop, we are featuring more creations with the Best Dressed Suite. Today I decided to focus on the gorgeous patterned paper in the suite, I just cant resist the colour pallet and beautiful feminine designs. The layout is based on one of my favourite "go to designs" for using DSP, except today I didn't do my usual raised card front - I kept things flat, with just a hint of coordinating Old Olive cardstock to frame the lovely floral design. I just love the simplicity of this design, it shows less can be more  with with paper as beautiful as this. Continue through the list below to see more creations from the design team: 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 suppo...

Best Dressed for Mother's Day

Easter has been and gone, and what a strange Easter it was with social distancing, in Australia Mother's Day will be upon us soon, and again it will be very different for many of us as we will not be able to be face to face with our Mothers. So with that in mind I thought I would get some mojo happening for Mother's Day creations so they can be put in the post in time for this special day. I've added detail to the edge of the card with an edge die from the Be Mine Dies - it is one of my "go to' dies, I love the combination of scallops and stitching.  The sentiment was proving a problem for me, it wasn't huge, but I wanted it to be a focus, so I got out my Stitched Labels dies and had a bit of a play, and after adding a little detail to the Blushing Bride die cut was happy with the result. 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 use...

A Little Note with Best Dressed

It will soon be the time of year when we say goodbye to some old In Colors and hello to 5 new colours! Today I'm creating with one of the 2018-2020 In Colors that will be retiring soon - Lovely Lipstick, of the 5 in the 2018-2020 collection this would be my favourite.... no surprise there as it is a lovely gorgeous pink variation. I've paired the Lovely Lipstick card stock with the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, and it just pops! After white heat embossing the sentiment on a strip of card, I added Frost White Shimmer Paint to the Delicate Lace border and to some of the flowers in the DSP too. Stock up on all things 2018-2020 In Colors while you can, re-inkers, paper, ribbons - if previous years are anything to go to stocks won't last long after the retiring list is announced. 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, ...

Here we are for the first Ink it! Stamp it! Design Team hop for 2020, and we have lots to show you, all from the new catalogues - The new Mini Catalogue as well as the Sale-a-bration catalogue, agony of choice as to what to choose to show you will so many gorgeous suites as well as the FREE items available with your qualifying purchase from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. I've had my first play with the "FREE" Sale-a-bration set "Happy Birthday to you", a lovely feminine set, and matched it with a design from the Best Dressed Designer Series paper. This card came together super quick, and I think looks gorgeous to boot! The ombre tones of the DSP set off the stamp beautifully,  card perfect for birthday, anniversary, wedding or even Mothers day.  I coloured the cake and flowers using Stampin' Blends, you could also use either watercolour pencils or ink with an Aqua Painter. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed see...
