 Elegant Eggplant Peacocks

Hi everyone.  I hope that you all had a great day yesterday.

I had an amazing day and got a secret project finally finished.  What is it?  Well, sorry folks I can't tell you yet, but keep popping back.  I will be adding some sneaky peaks and after the 26th of September I will be able to reveal it completely to you.  I am so happy with it, and so immensely thrilled that I want to shout about it from the roof tops, but I have to keep quiet.  Its so hard.

Anyway today's make was for a friend's Mum.  She is not a fussy person and likes things simple, so I choose a simple matt and layer design card.

The colour is a lovely deep purple.  A really rick opulent colour and I love it.  The Stamp is Perfect Peacock from Stampin Up Uk.

I stamped the image in Versamark, and then heat embossed with White Embossing powders

Then I got out my Blendabilities - this time the Wisteria Wonder set

And I spend a bit of time colouring all the pearls and diamonds to match the card

Before stamping and embossing the sentiment - which is from the Bloom with Hope set.

I punched this out with the Word Window Punch and Modern Label Punches.

The card is an A5 size card.  It really is lovely and I have several commissions using this lovely stamp set.

If you would like to commission a card, notebook, gift wrapping or 3d project I would love to hear from you.

FREE GOOD GREETINGS

Hello Honey and Stampin UP Blendabilities

Hi everyone.  Have you had a chance to play with your craft goodies from Stamin UP! yet?

Hello Honey and Stampin Up Blendabilities

Today are the last two cards I made in the set I showed you yesterday.  I love the world of dreams set, and really enjoyed creating the backgrounds.  But as with yesterday I wanted to finish each card differently.  Here's a link to yesterday's post

So today I used ribbon on my cards and also some Vintage Clear Buttons.  Can you see them.

Ooops, sorry they are not clear anymore.  I have coloured them with the darkest shade in the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities range.  It is so close to Hello Honey that it blends perfectly. And because they are alcohol ink, they dry perfectly.  What do you think?

Lastly on this one, I used Melon Mambo DSP and finished off with some of our new cotton ribbon.  So cute. 

Anyway hope you have loved these cards.  Would love to see your creations using this background technique.

Everything Eleanor Feels the Heat

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your lovely kind comments about my bag and cards yesterday.  It means so much.

Today's card was a bit of a rush job, my lovely friend Meg had a knee replacement and has been very down since, so I decided a bit of cheering up was in order.

I also have some new stamps that I was just dying to ink up .........

Everything Eleanor and I love lace background stamp.  Initially I didn't want either of these stamps.  But they have grown on me and now I love them and couldn't wait to use them.

I stamped the I love lace stamp with versamark and heat embossed with Pool Party.    I then matted and layered crushed curry and old olive card stock.  The lovely flourish is from Everything Eleanor and this was again heat embossed with crushed curry.  The flowers were heat embossed in Pool Party.

Again, this is a colour combination that I found using my Colour Coach.  So an amazing tool. I love it.

These are the products that I used.  Just click any of them and you will be taken to the shop.

A little Mickey In Colour

Who doesn't love Mickey Mouse ...........  so when asked to make a card for a true Disney fanatic (who is in her 60's) what else was a girl to use but Mickey Mouse.

I had an old Stampin Up Mickey Mouse ballon stamp that I had been waiting for an excuse to use .... and this was just the opportunity I needed.

I wanted to show all you guys out that there just because you purchase lots of lovely new goodies from Stampin Up that you can still combine them with older stamps.

I have used the gorgeous in-colour 2013/15.  I am so in love with this colour scheme.  Everything blends effortlessly.  Don't you just love that.

Anyway here's the card.  I used the in colour inks and the Stamp-a-ma-gig tool to create the spacing on the card.  Its am amazing tool, and one I wouldn't be without now.

The gorgeous tags were cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits and the ribbon is Calypso Coral.  For the inside I wanted to use the two colour cardstocks that I hadn't used on the front.  I layered them and then randomly stamped.  Again the tags were from the Chalk Talk Framelits and the sentiment is from Chalk Talk and From My Heart.

I hope you like it.  

DID YOU NOTICE the new blog header ...................... no, 

pop back up to the top and have a look.

Gorgeous isn't it.  Well it was all made on our fanastic new programme 

This wonderful digital design programme is a must for any crafter.  I created my gorgeous bird image, (my nickname is BIRD) and then used it to create the header on the blog.  The best bit, about MDS is that I can try new styles out using all the papers, punches and stamps on the computer, before actually using my paper stash.  Combining both digital and actual crafting is so much fun.  Do you want to try it?  Go on?  You'll love it.  You can try it free for thirty days.  Just click here to try.

Don't forget if you need some gorgeous new crafty bits to play with that you can order 24/7 52 weeks of the year using the fantastic new online ordering system.  Just click on the picture below to be taken straight to the shop.  Grab your coffee and enjoy yourself.
