Miss Pinks Craft Spot

I am really enjoying the poor weather this weekend, it's so nice to be inside and be creative! My card today is inspired by this weeks Global Design Challenge and by a Rochelle Blok  creation (you can see her card here ) I decided to use both a floral design and the main colours in the CASE the designer challenge When I saw the colours I thought of "that paper" and went to my stash, sadly the Hues of Happiness DSP is retiring, but oh what a DSP this has been - matching dies to cut the flowers, and such gorgeous gorgeous colours! To fill out the length of the slimline card I cut floral outline dies from Artistic Dies . I filled the middle of the card using the Hues of Happiness DSP and coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies. Grab a pack of the Hues of Happiness DSP before it is gone, you can see all the retiring items at my online store - remember while stocks last, so shop now! Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspi...

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new All Star Tutorial. This month we are showcasing the  Hues of Happiness suite . 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. What can I say, what is not to love about this suite! I am particularly partial to the gorgeous DSP, I love how the flowers can be die cut, so I've used this as a feature in my card today. #loveitchopit I used just 3 flowers in my design, with the largest being cut in 2 and placed at the bottom and top of the card, then I filled the gap with 2 smaller flowers and leaves also die cut from the DSP. I added one of the die cut edges to create interest on the right hand side of the card and then stamped the sentiment, add some Basic Rhinestones and my card was finished - so easy with the die cut flowers! Hues of Happiness Inspiration Below is a sneak peek of what’s in store with this month’s Tutorial ...

Howdy crafty friends, todays blog hop is featuring "Stand alone Dies". I know that I love when a stamp set has coordinating dies, but we also need dies for basic shapes, and to honest at times these dies are the heroes of our projects - my "go-to" die sets for are the Stitched Rectangle Dies & Stylish Shapes Dies, today I chose to highlight the  Stitched Rectangle Dies . I selected the 2 dies that are the same width, and cut into a piece of Hues of Happiness DSP . These dies look fabulous on this sheet of DSP, there is a linen look texture through the design, reminding me of oil paintings. I also cut a matching set in Night of Navy and adhered to the DSP die cuts. Next I stamped my card mat using the largest flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set with VersaMark ink - this gives a lovely effect that breaks up the background, yet doesn't over power or clash with the DSP. After adhering the Die cuts and card mat to the card I finished by stamping the sent...

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.

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...
