Birthday Shell Collecting


Here's another card that I made using the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this one on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! Did you know that the stamps in the stamp set are reversible? I stamped the shells and then flipped the stamps on the block to fill them in. I stamped off first, for a softer look. I then used the Soft Waves embossing folder over the top to add some texture. I also used the Linen Look stamp for a subtle background on my card base. The sentiment (stamped in Crumb Cake) is from Product of the Month stamp set Fabulous Sayings. You might have noticed, I've been using this one A LOT, and loving it!

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Hello Shell Collecting


I haven't made any ocean-themed cards for a while, so I succumbed and bought the Shell Collecting stamp set. You can find this one on page 67 of the January-April Mini Catalogue, and I was inspired by the cards featured there too.

The colours I've used here are Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral. A bit different, but I really love how they look together! The Linen Look stamp is a great one for adding a subtle background. You might need to zoom in to see it! I cut out my shells and arranged them on a die-cut Stylish Shapes circle. The sentiment (stamped in Crumb Cake) is from Product of the Month stamp set Fabulous Sayings. You might have noticed, I've been using this one A LOT, and loving it!

For embellishment I've used all-time favourite Linen Thread along with some Antique Pearls.

Splash of Sparkles Card Set


Here's my set of cards made using the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper... I've used silver paired with the cool colours and gold with the warmer colours. There's gold/silver embossing for the sentiment, some gold/silver foil, and some gold/silver Metallic Gems too. The waterolour wash behind the sentiments are also part of the Designer Series Paper. I had fun making this set!

Thanks Splash of Sparkles


Continuing with the Splash of Sparkles theme for this week... This time I've used silver accents. I like the look of silver paired with cool colours and gold with warmer colours. There's silver embossing for the sentiment, some silver foil, and some silver Metallic Gems too. The waterolour wash behind the sentiment is also part of the Designer Series Paper. So simple, but effective!

Love Splash of Sparkles


This is an appropriate card for today - our 30th Wedding Anniversary! This post has been scheduled, as we are currently away celebrating in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. I feel so blessed to be celebrating three decades of friendship, laughter, and love. Dave is my rock and my home, no matter where we are in the world. Thirty years down, forever to go! 

I love the splash of gold and silver in the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper. I've echoed it with some gold embossing for the sentiment, some gold foil, and some gold Metallic Gems too. The waterolour wash behind the sentiment is also part of the Designer Series Paper.
