Gorgeous Grunge Post Card

Hello Everyone

Now after a very girly grunge card on Tuesday's video, I decided to share something not quite so feminine!

This one is uses not only the Gorgeous Grunge in Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana Ink, but also the Post Card stamp. I stamped it on Very Vanilla cardstock and then daubed the edges with Crumb Cake ink to give a vintage look.

The tag is from Chalk Talk, and comes bundled with the matching framelit, which I used to cut out the backing layer. I used the stamp from the Postage Due, punched out and daubed freely! LOL

I am really loving my Gorgeous Grunge stamps - have you got yours yet?

Smoky Slate - Inspired by Carolyn

Hello Everyone

Today I am continuing my cards inspired by my lovely team members at our recent shoebox swap. (Scroll back to my last post to read all about it).

Today's card to inspire was designed by my friend and team member Carolyn.

She couldn't attend on the night, but left us instructions, all the materials to create the card, and a funny note criticising all she thought was wrong with it! She makes us laugh, because as you can see her design is just perfect!






She used the beautiful Simply Sketched hostess set, (more of that coming soon - I LOVE that set!). She also left us embossing folders (Adorning Accents and Designer Frames) and a reel of Washi tape. We coloured the flower with Smoky Slate ink and a Blender Pen.








Well I loved her design - but the thing that made it pop for me was the colour combination. I took the new Smoky Slate ink and cardstock, (love it), a couple of layers of Basic Grey and some Whisper White layers and got to work.

I used the new stamp set called Happy Day which features a pretty flourish, and the sweet little doily type image you see here.

It is so delicate and it made a lovely background.

The greeting I chose is from Sassy Salutations and I stamped in Basic Grey.

I finished the card with a Large Rhinestone.

Hope you like it - and thank you Carolyn for the inspiration.

Back on Tuesday with my weekly video tutorial. Hope you can pop by then.

Tea for Two Rose Card

Hello Everyone

On Tuesday I posted a video featuring some tiny square swaps I was making. There are all sorts of things you can do with little squares of art like this, but I decided to use on on this card.

It goes so well with the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper. I also used the Victora Lace Trim and added a pearl to the middle of the flower and a little row of them under the square.

The greeting comes from Sassy Salutations, punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch and then layered on a shape cut with the Apothecary Accents die.

I hope you like it. Back on Sunday with something in a completely different style. :)

Quintassentially Yours

Hello Everyone


Today's card is one I made at team training with my lovely upline Amanda. How lucky was I, I picked up a piece of Newsprint DSP that said Cherry Blossom for a Cherry Cobbler card?!

I was supposed to use a sponge, but didn't see it, so after scrunching up the paper I inked it direct with the ink pad. I rather like the effect.

The layered flower is called the Quintessential Flower stamp and is a single stamp that is in the big catalogue. However, during Sale A Bration, you can recieve it FREE! Ask me how.

The greeting is from my new favourite greeting stamp set, Sassy Sentiments. I love it because you do not have to stamp those greetings straight. If they are crooked, it looks like you meant it!

Back soon with more...
