Expressions in Pink
The Expressions in Ink Suite is so stunning, I think it's impossible to make a bad card with it... but I won't try and prove it!

Macrame!
Confession time: I have a soft spot for macrame. I think it started when I was in 4th grade (around 1982!!) and we made macrame pot plant holders, and then those who finished quickly (me!) got to make a macrame owl too. I can still remember the earthy smell of the yarn as I tied the knots. I was very proud of my work and my Mum hung up both of them on our deck until they eventually disintegrated.
Now that macrame is trendy again, we have some gorgeous products dedicated to the craft. So of course I had to get the Bloom Where You're Planted Suite. I love that you can make very detailed, multi-layered cards with these products, but they also lend themselves to very simple cards.
This card is somewhere in between. I've used both stamps and die cuts from the Plentiful Plants bundle but also a simple Designer Series Paper background. I cut the lower half on an angle, for something different. I also used actual twine to 'hang' my pot plant holder.
The colours here are Cinnamon Cider, Grey Granite, Garden Green and Soft Succulent.

Scalloped Contours
I have a Catalogue CaSE to share with you today (from page 158). I made a few small changes to make it my own, but I stuck to the colour scheme - Petal Pink, Bumblebee and Poppy Parade - which I love. I also love the scallops in the design. It makes the card so pretty and feminine.

Hand-Penned Birthdays
I just love a pack of paper that I can use both sides of. The Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper is perfect for this - one side has hand-painted floral design that is quite busy and the reverse side is soft and subtle, perfect to use as a background. As soon as I made one of these cards I just knew I had to make more using the other patterns in the pack. So, here they all are:
This is a really simple design that would work with lots of paper packs. I think I might make some Christmas ones next!

Count on Me
I have a dose of cute to share with you today. I couldn't resist the Count on Me stamp set, with all its cute critters. I've used the rectangular windows of the Picture This dies to frame my little animals. I used Blends to colour them and then cut them out. The script words from Biggest Wish fit really well in the windows too. A few sparkly rhinestones finish it off.

Expressions in Ink
Sometimes simple works best, when you are working with spectacularly elegant Designer Series paper. In this case, just 2 small pieces, a few jaunty angles and a bit of gold metallic shine.
This is the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, and it's just stunning. You can see everything else I've used listed below.
