Miss Pinks Craft Spot

How quick has November gone, I can't believe that December is almost here, which means there is only a few days left to purchase any of the items form the Snowflake Showcase promotion. I've used my favourites for this project, the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set and the GORGEOUS Snowfall Thinlets I'm feeling under the weather today, so I reached to the sample in the below flyer and gained inspiration. I used warm instead of cool colours for this snowflake themed project - different to the norm for me as I would normally opt for blues and purples, but adore the finished project, especially the touch of gold, so simple with the Gold Foil edged cards and envelopes.

I adore flourishes, swirls, curls and snowflakes, so when I saw the Snowflake Snowflake promotion purchasing the Snowfall Thinlets was a must as there is a die that combines all these! I think it took me longer to choose my colour combination, that to create this card, I usually gravitate to cool colours for snowflake themed cards, but decided to create this with a warmer feel. After cutting the swirly snowflake flourish, I stamped the sentiment and gold embossed, then added the background stamping in  So Saffron,  Flirty Flamingo,  Highland Heather &  Soft Sea Foam, finishing by adding a warm glow behind the die cut by sponging So Saffron, then popping the die cut on using mini dimensionals.  Using the Foil edged card gives a touch of elegance with no work at all!

It's that time again, a new tutorial and the Design Team Blog Hop!  This month I've used the same stamp set as I did in the tutorial, this time making a card featuring the gorgeous Silver Foil-Edged Cards & Envelopes. I'll admit it, I have a snowflake fascination - I'm going to say it's because I've never seen a white Christmas (on my bucket list), I know people say it can be bitterly cold, but if you've ever sweltered through a 40 °C Christmas day with a hot Turkey for lunch,..... there is something said for the day being on the cooler side I think! Anyway, back to Snowflakes, if you too have a fascination for all things snowflakes, you are just going to have to have the limited time Snow is Glistening stamp set and Snowfall thinlets (20 in the set), they are a MUST HAVE! To create the colourful background, first water wash ink using an Aqua Painter - I've used Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather, but the choic...

Firstly a big thank you to everyone that voted for my card in the October International Highlights - I was in the Top 10, so I'm back with another "sorry" themed card in today's blog hop. As we know all too well, there just are times that we say or do something wrong and then need to apologise or we are sad for someone and want to let them know. A card is the  perfect way to do so and has so much power to heal.  Today's creation uses the new Happiness Surrounds stamp set, it's part of the Snowflake Showcase limited time promotion. This set has a variety of sentiments and images, you can even create your own background - I sponged Powder Pink and a hint of Calypso Coral, being a photopolmyer set it is quite simple to line up the images, and wa-lah, you have your background. The coordinating framelits are just gorgeous, a mix of shapes to cut solid images, and intricate dies that layer superbly. For the rustic feel, rough up the ...
