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!

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.

Homemade Sweetness Card Set


This week I've been playing with the Homemade Sweetness Suite, which is part of the March Online Exclusives offering. The little jam jars and fruit have been snipped from the Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper, and I've used various patterns from the other side of the papers in the background too. The sentiments are part of the January Product of the Month stamp set. You can see the other products I've used listed below, including the gorgeous Ladybug Picnic 3D embossing folder, and the very sweet Strawberries & Dots embellishments.
