Friends are Like Seashells

 I was inspired by the 2021 Annual Catalogue to create this card. 

I used the Sand & Sea Suite. 














The base is Sahara Sand layered with DSP from the Suite. 

I used the die cut to create the Pear Pizzazz background.

I used the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set using Sahara Sand.

I die cut another shells in Basic White, then stamped the shells.

Next I embossed the shells and trimmed the shells.

They were then glued onto the Pear Pizzazz shells.

A sentiment was stamped in Sahara Sand,  die cut using Tasteful Labels Dies.

Linen thread was wrapped around the card front and the sentiment attached using dimensionals. 

The inside and envelope were then stamped. 

If you like what you see and wish to order please click here: Sand & Sea Suite

Be quick as this suite is only available until the end of June 2021. 

The stamp set and die cut is available as a bundle where you can save 10%: bundle

Sand & Sea Happy Birthday

 What a beautiful Suite. And the Pearlescent Speciality Paper!

On this card I've used the Blending Brushes (Item 153611) to showcase the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (Item 154309) on the Pearlescent Paper. 

I'm not sure if the photo does it justice but it turned out well. 










I used Misty Moonlight for the cardbase then added the Designer Series Paper.

I then stamped extra seaweed in Pear Pizzazz .

I die cut then embossed the shells, added them to the front. 

I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight, tied some twine around the front and added the sentiment. 

A few Opal Rounds finishes off the card. 

Some stamped seaweed in the corner of the inside of the card and the envelope completes the project. 

If you are interested in this Suite, be quick as it only lasts until the end of June 2021.

The dies and stamp set will still be available, though.

Sand & Sea Thank You

I spent some time today playing with this beautiful suite: Sand & Sea. 

I am planning my next workshop for new crafters, so wanted something simple and easy.


The base is Misty Moonlight, layered with Basic White and an embossed Seaside Spray.

Not sure if you can tell in the photo but I have made the edges rough on the white cardstock.

Thank You was stamped in Seaside Spray.

A piece of twine wrapped around and some Opal Rounds finish off the card. 

Don't forget the small shell on the inside of the card and on the back of the envelope.

Everyday Cards

A lazy Sunday afternoon saw me create these smaller, 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", cards. 


I was in need of some thank you cards but decided to leave some blank. 

I used the Hydrangea Hill Suite, with the odd piece of ribbon from my stash. 










This is what I love about purchasing a Suite. You get all the necessary materials to create beautiful cards.

Hydrangea Hill Suite

My latest workshop saw us create these two cards and box using the Hydrangea Hill Suite. 

For those who love these colours it was so easy to co-ordinate. 

They were inspired by the Jan - June Mini Catalogue. 

Colours such as Gorgeous Grape, Rococo Rose, Old Olive, Seaside Spray.

We enjoyed using the Blending Brushes to colour the box. 

Such an enjoyable class. 

Thanks to the ladies who attended.

'Posted for You' Rainy Afternoon

 What else does one do on a rainy afternoon?

Such a silly question to us card makers!

I decided to play with my new bundle: 'Posted for You' stamp set and Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.



Cards are on a background of Whisper White. 

The two embossing folders used were: Tasteful Textures and Scripty.

Sahara Sand was used for the backing on 'Just a note...'

Images were stamped using Night of Navy or Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured using a range of blends: Light Old Olive, Seaside Spray and Daffodil Delight. 

Ribbons used: Seaside Spray Scalloped, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand twine, which I separated. 

Pearls were added to 'Just a Note.....'

Quite relaxing colouring on this rainy day. 

Happy Crafting,

Jill

DragonFly Garden and Blackberry Bliss

Another project form OnStage@Home 2020.

The Dandy Garden DSP goes well with Smokey Slate.

A stamped image and DSP co-ordinate well.

Mossy Meadow ink and Braided Linen also combine well.

The Whisper White dragonflies help the card to pop.

The inside also has a stamped image to match the front and the envelope.

A little error when stamping saw me use some bling under the sentiment. Hey, we all make mistakes!



Other ideas were also given on the day and I tried my own twist to the designs.



This one I embossed the Smokey Slate with the Subtles Embossing  Folder. I love this embossing folder as it gives it a classy background. 

The 'love & thanks' is from Prized Peony Stamp Set. 

The dragonfly punch not only punches the larger dragonfly but the smaller ones as well.

OnStage@Home Dragonfly and Bumblebee

 What an experience! Just recently I attended my first OnStage event. Stampin' Up! hosted this event virtually. It was my first virtual event as well!

I'd like to share with you some of the cards that we made on the day. We were lucky enough to purchase some new products that are coming out in the next mini catalogue (Jan 2020). 

We used a beautiful suite called Dandy Garden Project Collection©. 

I followed the instructions as they were given and created this beautiful card. 

Colours used were Mossy Meadow and Bumblebee.

The DSP and stamp set co-ordinates really well.

And the beautiful Lady BugTrinkets!

The punched dragonfly raised with dimensionals is a lovely touch.

Later in the day I decided to change the colours. 

I used Calypso Coral instead of Bumblebee.  I think they both look good. 




I usually put DSP  on my card  fronts so just stamping the cardstock was new to me. But I thoroughly enjoyed stamping and seeing what it could create. 

Have a go and see what you can create!

Would you like a copy of the new mini catalogue?

Poinsettia One Sheet Wonder

I decided to try a 'one sheet wonder' project. 

I used Poppy Parade and Tuxedo Black and stamped poinsettia images on Whisper White cardstock. 




I added some Old Olive dots and then cut the A4 sheet into 4.


I then created the following cards. Each card similar but different to the others.
I added Baker's Twine, Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, some bling and a sentiment., layered using Oval Layering Framelits Dies. 




Happy crafting,
Jill

Flirty Flamingo Happy Holidays


A change from the traditional reds and green for Christmas.

I found a similar design on Pinterest but decided to change the colours and add my own flair. 

Crumb cake and Flirty Flamingo cardstock create the card base, with a layer of Whisper White and a strip of DSP.

The white base layer has been embossed with Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

The poinsettia has been curled and raised with dimensionals.

The leaves are die cut from Copper foil .

The sentiment has been stamped in Tuxedo Black.
