Comfort & Hope Card

Today I’m sharing a card made with the Comfort & Hope stamp set, this is a great stamp set for adding little touches on cards as the images are all different textures and elements.  My favourite stamp has to be the loops, I was a big fan of the Metallic Thread we used to carry but could never get my loops to look right, now I can just add this stamp onto the card.

Comfort & Hope Close Up

To add some three dimensional texture I added one of the leaf flourishes from the Forever Flourishing Dies. I cut the leaves out of the Soft Sea Foam Velveteen paper, word of warning this stuff attracts dust like crazy some keep it wrapped up! To highlight the texture on the leaves I added a touch of Just Jade ink using a sponge duaber.

To finish the card I added the greeting Comfort and Hope stamped on a label of Mint Macaron cut from the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.

Thanks for popping by.

Ornate Blooms with Stampin’ Blends

This card features one of my most longed for products a Stampin’ Blends marker in Melon Mambo. There have been so many times I’ve reached for this colour only to be dissappointed we don’t have it, so yay Stampin’ Up! I’m one happy girl.

I’ve pulled out the Ornate Style stamp set to colour that gorgeous floral arrangement. I used Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, So Saffron, Seaside Spray and the new markers in Just Jade which are lovely too.

The background paper comes from the new In Colour 2020-2022 and is in Just Jade. I added the greeting from the Butterfly Gala stamp set on a punched label from the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch on the 3/4″ width.

To finish the card I added three Mango Melody sequins from the Artistry Blooms Sequins Collection, I love that these are self adhesive so you can just stick and go.

Pootlers New Catalogue Blog Hop

Today I’m hopping again with my fellow Pootlers to share with you some of our favourite things from the new catalogue. So when you’ve had a look at my project please follow the links at the bottom to see the rest of the projects.

Pootlers Blog Hop Sneak Peak

One of my favourite things in the new catalogue is the the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch , this is a great investment to your crafting supplies as it can make six different labels in one punch, how great is that!

This great punch is also available as a bundle with the Lovely You stamp set, which is the perfect mix of florals and sentiments, a winning combination in my book.

Pootlers Blog Hop Card 1

The punch creates labels which are 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ wide with two different edges, I’ve only used one edge in my projects today but have used all three widths. This first card also shows one of the new In-Colours, Magenta Madness. This is a bright pink and sadly my photos today don’t show it too well.  The colours I’ve paired it with are Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay which I think work great with Magenta Madness.

Pootlers Blog Hop Card 2

This card shows all three sizes of the Lovely Labels Punch. You can also see one of the patterns from the new In-Colour DSP stacks and more Magenta Madness products with the 2020-2022 In-Colour Enamel Dots and some Twill Ribbon which is so soft.

Pootles Blog Hop

Here’s both cards together, I can see both the punch and stamp set being used loads.

Pedal to the Metal Birthday Cards

Male cards are something I have always struggled with, especially teenage males which makes the the Pedal to the Metal stamp set the perfect choice. This stamp set has some great images for males of any age.

Motercycle Card

For these cards I  used Blueberry Bushell and Call Me Clover before they go in the retired products cupboard. I’ve matched Blueberry Bushell with the Motorbike and Call Me Clover with the Gator as its the perfect “John Deere” Green.

Gator Birthday Card

The Happy Birthday greeting comes from the Bonanza Buddies stamp set which is also retiring and the stars are from the Family Party stamp set. I love the background I created with the tyre tracks and stars, perfect for teenagers.

Floral Friday – Paper Scrap Cards

Today I’m sharing four cards which have all been made from one sheet of 6 x 6 designer paper. I used the retiring Best Dressed paper as I love the floral patterns and I chose four colours from this paper as my card bases.

Floral Scraps - Petal Pink

These were Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Petal Pink.

Floral Scraps Card - Daffodil Delight

I used the Dandelion Wishes stamp set for the sentiments, stamped on a circle from the Layering Circles Dies.

Floral Scraps Card - Blackberry Bliss

I just cut the 6 x 6 paper into various strips and arranged them with the sentiments on top.

Floral Scraps - Daffodil Delight

I think the Blackberry Bliss version is my favourite, which is yours ?
