Stitched Stockings - Better late than never!

Hi everyone! If you haven't already heard, Stampin' Up! pre-released a special stamp set in October that will be available in our upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue, beginning on December 1st. The stamp set is called "Stitched Stockings" and it is super cute! I've used it on today's card, together with the matching two-step Stocking Tag Punch. Both the punch and the stamp set are available for purchase during October. You can view the silhouette images of the products, along with the order codes and prices here in this flyer. If you would like to order the items, please email me urgently, as they're only available until tomorrow (otherwise, you'll have to wait until December for the release of the summer mini).

Now, on to today's card! The idea for this card came together from a couple of sources. The first being from this card here by Leonie Schroder. I loved Leonie's idea to add pressies in the top of the stocking and immediately thought of the little pile of gifts in the Loads of Love Accessories stamp set. An idea for a card began to form and when I came accross this card by Jen McGuire, I knew I had the layout I was after. And so, today's card was born! I hope you like it. I'm thinking I might add some bling to the left of the sentiment, but I need to ponder that some more to come up with the exact look I'm after.

Here are the supplies I've used on today's card:

Stamps: Stitched Stockings, Many Merry Messages

Paper: Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Letters to Santa DSP

Ink: Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso

Accessories: Paper Snips, Stocking Tag Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Blender Pens, Big Shot

Elegant Eggplant Just Believe Card

Hi Everyone! Today I have a card to share with you that I actually made back in November, but for some reason never got around to sharing it here on my blog.

I made this card for my mum and chose the colour scheme because Purple is her favourite colour. I've used the gorgeous Just Believe Stamp Set and decided to keep the card really simple to allow the beautiful floral image to steal the show. I was really pleased with how this card turned out -one of those rare occasions when an idea in my head turns out exactly as I wanted it to!

10 Days to Sale-A-Brate Day 7 - Sympathy Card

Hi Everyone!

Today I have this beautiful sympathy card to share with you. This is a colour scheme I got from the fabulous Stampin' Up! Colour Coach. The Colour Coach is a tool that provides 2 colour different schemes for every Stampin' Up! colour, and gives colour partners for those colours that have one. A colour partner is a colour that is in the same tone but a lighter or darker shade. For example, Perfect Plum is colour partners with Elegant Eggplant. They are a lighter and darker shade of the same Purple tone. I highly recommend the Colour Coach for anyone who struggles with pairing up colours - like me!

Long Time No Blog - Sweet Summer Card

Hi Everyone! My apologies for the extended delay in blogging around here. It's hard to believe it's March already -we've had such a busy start to the year here and the blog got somewhat neglected. Hopefully that's all about to change!

The sketches are always exactly as promise -clean, simple and I find them a great inspiration. My card is pretty much a CASE of this card here and I've just changed the colour scheme and stamps used. This card is one of the make&takes we'll be doing at Diane's workshop next weekend.

20 days of Handmade Christmas Cards - Day 19

Hi Everyone! For today's card, I decided to keep it REALLY simple and use just stamps, ink and cardstock. And I'm thrilled with the result! This card was so quick and easy to put together and I think it looks great! I'll definitely be making more in this design. I got the basic layout idea from a card I saw a couple of years ago on the Hero Arts website. I'd saved the card idea in a folder of ideas that I keep. When I was looking for inspiration for my 20 days cards, I came across it and decided the poinsettia from Christ is Born was the perfect stamp for the job. I hope you like it!

20 Days of Handmade Christmas Cards - Day 18 and a GIVEAWAY

Hi Everyone! I have something a little different for you today - a square card using a colour combination that you may not initially come up with, but I think it works. I really like how this card turned out (after a few tweeks and changes along the way) -so much so that I think I'll make a couple more in this design. I also have another giveaway today, so be sure to check out the end of today's post for details on that.

I came up with this design with inspiration from a shop-bought card that I saw in the newsagent a couple of weeks ago. It had a handmade look about it and it was quite a cute card, so I snapped a photo of it with my mobile phone and decided to try my own version of it. I hope you like it!

20 days, 20 Handmade Christmas Cards - Day 10

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Day 10 of my 20 days, 20 cards series! I'm so excited to share today's card with you -I just love how it turned out! In designing today's card, I had a very blurred image of a card from an online magazine that gave me the idea for the layout. I'm not sure who the designer of that card was and I don't remember which magazine I saw it in, but my card is identical in layout and I've just changed the patterned papers and stamps to use my own Stampin' Up! supplies. I hope you enjoy today's card, and if you create one of your own, I'd love to see it!

The Yummiest Gift Card Holder ever!

Hi Everyone! I've got an extra post today because I just couldn't wait to share this gorgeous gift card holder! I'd seen the idea of Ferrero Rocher Cards a couple of times online and I did come across a tutorial for sale on how to make them, but I decided to save my money and make up my own. As I was formulating my plan for creating these, I thought what a great idea these are for giving gift cards. When I give a gift card, I always feel a bit uncomfortable at just handing over an envelope, rather than an actual gift. With these little cuties, you have a gift AND a card AND a gift voucher all in one. LOVE it!

I was so thrilled with how it turned out, I think I might schedule an extra class to teach this one before Christmas. What do you think? Would you be interested in learning how to make these? Leave me a comment on this post and let me know.
