I forgot to include this in my earlier post today. These were the reporter’s notepads I decorated for my team who accompanied me to Amanda’s Quarterly Meeting. The colour combo here is Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and So Saffron. I love it – really vibrant and striking and very summery. It certainly makes the different layers of […]
Summer Splash, Basic Phrases, Fish Frenzy
Two of my Inkin’ Divas accompanied me to Amanda’s Quarterly Meeting at Locks Heath yesterday and we had a blast. These were the swaps I made using the Summer Splash set in the mini. Do you ever get “inspiration block”? Some stamp sets you look at and a ton of ideas on what kind […]
Nature Walk #2, Thank you Kindly
This is probably my favourite. I only partially inserted the card base into the embossing folder sandwiched between the two acrylic plates and ran through the Big Shot. I struggle with these egg images how best to feature it on a card. Again on the minimalist vein, this does the trick. The sentiment is from […]
Nature Walk #1, Oval All
This is another set of samples I made in a masculine vein and still featuring the Elegant Soiree DSP as my Hostess had requested it but using a different stamp set – Nature Walk. These masculine cards are really quick and easy to make as they are clean and simple, no bows, torn edges rather […]
Little Additions, A Slice of Life, Something to Celebrate
I fell in love with this stamp set called Little Additions when it first came out in the Mini, but having acquired it, I didn’t know how else I could use it apart from what it was originally intended for – babies. I tried my hand at making some origami dresses and wondered how best […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #4, Wedding Sweet
I used Very Vanilla as my card base with a strip of Marina Mist set off centre so that a length of faux ruched Crumb Cake seam binding could be attached discreetly sandwiched between the Marina Mist and Very Vanilla layers. I inked the tiny Wedding Sweet image in Crumb Cake first, then dabbed champagne […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #3, Always Elegant, Cheer & Wishes, Two-step Owl Punch
I used the co-ordinating stamp set for the Elegant Soiree DSP, Always Elegant for this card. The sentiment is from Cheer & Wishes. Colours used here are So Saffron, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. I punched two owl bodies, one in Crumb Cake and the other in Pumpkin Pie. I cut off the […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #2, Occasional Greetings, Style Beautiful
Another lovely design from Elegant Soiree DSP, my all time favourite sentiment My dear KIND & wonderful FRIEND and finished off with a stamp from Style Beautiful and a faux pearl. Still steering clear of ribbon and being understated so it would appeal to a gent. Hope you like it.
