Petal Palette with a Raised Frame - a Video Tutorial

Hello, welcome to this months video tutorials, our theme "All About Flowers" I changed my mind so many times about what project to create, and still made changes whilst I was filming, oh my, my Libran indecisiveness was in full swing! The tutorial will show you how to create a project with a raised frame, and one of my favourite ways to decorate a card with a raised frame is, you guessed it, flowers! You can choose any floral stamp set you have to create a card with a raised frame, I chose Petal Palette as it has coordinating Framelits (so no fussy cutting), and a variety of different size flowers and foliage. I was feeling a bit nostalgic, so decided to create a "grubby background" for texture, the large water  wash stamp in Love What You Do was perfect! and I added some pearls for a small touch of bling. Here's the tutorial to have you making a card like this in no time at all, enjoy! I can't wait to see what ...

Everything is better with Friends

Hello, I am so excited to be joining Kylie's International Friendship themed blog highlight this month.  Whether it be you just simply have a blast when you get together or when you are feeling down they pick you right back up, Friends just make everything better! So in honour of the many wonderful friendships I have made the following card, I hope you like it! I chose this sentiment because I adore the font how "friend" stands out, it's from the Love What You Do set , which is part of the gorgeous Share What You Love Suite . I used 3 of the new In Colors too - Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Call me Clover (I'm just loving Lovely Lipstick!) I created the flower arrangements using the Petal Palette stamp set , I cut with the Petals & More Framelits , and then fussy cut each of the flowers so that I could lift and layer the arrangements to give them more depth- it's dimensional city in the corners of this card! Lastly s...

Petal Palette #WWYS164

Welcome back to What Will You Stamp? This week we are highlighting the Petal Palette Stamp set. This stamp not only has coordinating framelits, but also has DSP, Embossing folders and Memories & More cards, ribbon and embellishments - what a Suite ! For my card today I have coloured the stamped images with Stampin Blends and added a touch of Perfect Plum to the flowers using a Stampin Marker. I've coloured a little messy, but I quite like the effect, I think it adds to the brush stroke imagery of the stamps. I created the background using the dotted stamp from the set, stamping with Versamark onto the Perfect Plum, it totally changed up the look of the card, and finally I added some Glitter Enamel Dots for that touch of bling. I've used some supplies that have been announced on the list to retire, so if you need more Glitter Enamel Dots or anything Perfect Plum now is the time - only available while stocks last or til 31st May. ...

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop | Special Guest Janet Wakeland

Welcome to today's Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with the amazing Janet Wakeland - you are such an inspiration Janet, I love your crafting, and your stunning photograpy - my favourites would be your eagle photos, and of course Teague & Marburg, they are so entertaining! I chose the below card for CASEing today, I was drawn to the layout, and the weather background. Now for what I was inspired to create!  I created my background using the Hardwood background , inking in both black and Rich Razzleberry, to create a weathered look I used the "splatter" stamp (that's what I call it anyway) from the Touches of Texture stamp set, applying in Pink Pirouette and 3rd generation Rich Razzleberry, then I lightly sponged the edge with Rich Razzleberry too. I had forgotten that I had the Metallic Foil Doilies til I reorganised my craft room a couple of weeks ago - amazing what you find when to take this task on! The large doily layered perfectly with ...
