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

Elegant Soiree DSP #2, Occasional Greetings, Style Beautiful

Still steering clear of ribbon and being understated so it would appeal to a gent. Hope you like it. Share this… Facebook Twitter Pinterest
….& now for something different – Altered Tins, lunch bags and charms!

Elegant Soiree DSP, #1 Occasional Greetings, Wedding Sweet
The next few posts will feature using the Designer Series Papers, Elegant Soiree. These were samples I made for my last workshop. I’ve dipped into one of my favourite greeting sets Occasional Greetings again. It comprises 12 stamps in wood mount and has a sentiment to suit every occasion and for the mileage you get out of it, £30.95 […]
Sail Away #4
This is the final sample for Sail Away. I ran a piece of Pacific Point through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. In keeping with the masculine theme, again minimal layers using fairly reserved colours and no ribbon. Recipe: Stamp: Sail Away, Plane & Simple Ink: Pacific Point Papers: Pacific Point, Sahara […]
