Daring Cardmakers - Vellum

 Hello everyone.

After a very long break from the Daring Cardmakers I am back to share this weeks challenge, which is one that I am hosting.

So for this weeks challenge I would love to see some vellum on your cards, it can be a little or a lot.  I don't use vellum very often so this was a good challenge for me.

I decided to use the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflowers stamp and die bundle.  I cut the top layer of the sunflower from vellum along with some of the foliage.  I then inked up the layer underneath to allow a little of the yellow to show through.

I also stamped the sunflower to create a lovely simple background to the card and added a sentiment.  I finished the card with a few of the Flower For Every Season gems.

I really do love the look of this card and stepped out of my comfort zone to use the vellum.  I am now feeling inspired to use vellum a little bit more in my creations.

Please stop by the Daring Cardmakers Blog for more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.

Have a lovely weekend.

Sea And Sand Suite - last chance for the designer series paper

 Hello everyone.

We are having some really nice weather here in France at the moment so I was inspired to play with items from the Sea and sand suite.

Sadly the designer series paper won't be carried into the new catalogue but the stamps, dies and the embossing folder are.

If you love the papers as much as me you might want to grab some before they are gone.

I have created this card using the stamps, dies and the embossing folder.  The embossing folder perfectly matches up with the die so you get all the stunning details added to the seashells and seaweed.

To get this look I die cut a piece of sahara sand cardstock with the shell and seaweed die.  I then stamped the images, next I used the embossing folder and finally added a little ink to the seaweed.  

In the back of the card you can just see the designer series paper I have used, which has the gorgeous wave effect, just stunning.

I finished the card with a greeting and some of the gorgeous glittered opals.

Sneak Peek Alert

 Hello everyone.

As the new annual catalogue is just around the corner I wanted to share a little sneak peek of some gorgeous new products coming soon.

I have made a lovely set of 3x3"cards.  I love making these as they make lovely gifts.

To make the cards I have used items from the new suite called Pansy Petals.

The suite contains a stunning stamp and die bundle to make the most beautiful pansy flowers.  Along with 12 x 12" designer series paper and some stunning bee trinkets to add that finishing touch to your projects.

The designer series paper also contains all of the new in colours which are polished pink, fresh freesia, pale papaya, soft succulent and evening evergreen.

On this project I have used some of the designer series paper and this beautiful sentiment from the stamp set.

In the designer series paper pack there are some sheets which contain the pansy flowers and lots of leaves.  The best part is there are some dies in the set which will cut out the flowers and leaves perfectly.  This is what I have done here to decorate the cards.

I think they are just so pretty.

Thanks for stopping by today and please stop by again as I will have a few more projects to share using this gorgeous suite.

Don't forget the new catalogue goes live 4th May so you will be able to order this stunning suite for yourself.

New Baby with Hippo Happiness

Hello everyone.

I love a stamp set which is very versatile and I always look for sets that can cover all sorts of occasions and the Hippo Happiness bundle does just that.

I needed to make a new baby card and I thought the hippos wearing their cute little red bow ties would work great.

I just stamped three in different colours and then used the coordinating die set to cut them out along with the bow ties.

The congratulations sentiment came from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

I also added a little bling to the centre of one of the bow times.  

I think this card is super cute and just perfect for a new baby.  The set comes with a lamb, butterfly and also a unicorn, so its great for all ages and occasions.
