Simple Stamping with In Bloom

This is the first time I’ve pulled out the In Bloom stamp set, its a really great set for creating your own designer paper which is what I’ve done here.

I’ve used a colour combination of Merry Merlot, Shaded Spruce and Gorgeous Grape and used the Rectangle Stitched dies for the layers on the card.

I’ve finished the card off with a little Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding.

You Can Count on Me Card

I’ve been trying to use up the remenants of my dsp from the current catalogue before my new catalogue pre-order arrives (fingers crossed its today!). Today I’ve pulled out the Playing With Patterns pack and I’ve paired it the Hey Girlfriend stamp set so I can also pull out my Blends.

I’ve used a colour scheme of Night of Navy, Purple Posy, Highland Heather and a touch of Pool Party.

I’ve added some Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestones as a finishing touch.

Pastel Dragonfly Duo Card

I’ve struggled to use the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP as its bright and has a lot of busy feeling patterns. I’ve pulled it out today and I’m quite happy with the soft pastel effect I’ve managed to create.

I’ve used the palest pattern in the pack as a background and paired it with a colour scheme of Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo, with just a touch of Calypso Coral paper just to help the dragonflies pop.

The dragonflies are stamped in Flirty Flamingo, I’ve used the blender pen to add some colour to the bodies and then added some shimmer to the wings with Wink of Stella and some pearls to act as a trail behind the dragonflies.

Simply Circle Birthday Card

For todays card I’ve mixed up Circle Celebration, Swirly Frames and Pretty Perennials to make this simple birthday card.

I’ve used a mix of Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana and Gray Granite which I think is a great colour combination.

I’ve fussy cut the “Happy” to give the card a little dimension but the rest is simple one-layered stamping.
