simple romance

I just realised that I never posted the invitations that I made to send to my customers to invite them to a special launch party for the Summer Mini back in May! Wow long time ago!!

Romance Flowers

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance

Ink: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black

Extra: Simply Scored

This card couldn't be simpler! I used the score board to make a double frame around the edge of the card and then stamped the flowers in the bottom right hand corner above the score lines. It was coloured in with the stampin' write markers and that's it! Simple cards are great when you have lots to do and quick! 

So have you ordered your goodies from the summer mini yet?! Don't forget its only available til the end of August so you haven't got long to grab your bits before they go!! Don't miss out!

Hope you enjoyed this quickie today! 

Happy Stampin',

still twitterpated!

Wow isn't the weather just glorious! I wish it would remain like this for the summer! I've been sunning myself in the garden and enjoying doing work outside and reading! Ah I love life! 

Okay so today's card is pretty much an exact CASE of a card I found on pinterest, you can see the card here. It was just so pretty and seemed perfect the way it was...

Twitterpated Romance Birthday

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance, Curly Cute, Apothecary Art

Ink: Basic Grey, Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red

DSP: Twitterpated

Big Shot: Framelits, Adorning Accents Edgelit

Accessories: Pearls

The little frame on the label is done using the Apothecary Art stamp set, just inking up the outer frame. The flowers were stamped, coloured with the stampin' write markers and then cut out for more dimension. I added one simgle little flower by the sentiment to balance the card. The scallop trim is using one of the new edgelits - isn't it pretty with those tiny scallops on the big scallops?! 

Hope you're enjoying the lovely weather!

Happy Stampin',

more romance...

So I think that the Twitterpated product suit has got to be my favourite in the new summer mini - at least at the moment it is! So I thought I'd share with you another card I made recently using some of the new goodies! 

Just for You Flowers

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance, Tea Shoppe

Ink: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black, Island Indigo 

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Basic Grey, Whisper White

DSP: Twitterpated

Big Shot: Framelits, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Elegant Bouquet Emboss

Ribbon: Pear Pizzazz Pleated Satin

Accessories: Rhinestones 

I found a card on pinterest which was similar to this so I started with the basic layout and came up with this beaut! The background is embossed with the elegant bouquet embossing folder. Now to the side of that is some of the pretty twitterpated paper, scallop edgelit and some of the gorg satin pleated ribbon. I used the new framelits to cut out the flowers from Bordering on Romance set and added a banner with my sentiment on it. This card wouldn't be complete without a bit of bling! 

So do you love all the new stuff in the new mini catalogue?! What's your favourite? 

Happy Stampin',

paper players challenge #91

So last week I got as far as making the card but didn't get to photographing and blogging about it in time - so you will have to see that one another day. Today I wanted to just slip in an entry for this week's challenge. Its CAS Watercolouring. For this I thought I'd crack out my brand spanking new stamps that are in the new summer mini catalogue which launches May 1st!!

Romance Framed Flowers

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance, Tiny Tags

Ink: Black Stazon, Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Watercolour Paper

Punches: Jewellery Tag, Corner Rounder

Big Shot: Designer Frames

Accessories: Island Indigo Baker's Twine

I started by watercolouring the flowers using one of SU's paint brushes (they hold water in the handle) - they're fab!! I then cut it out with the frame in the big shot. I stamped the borderline of flowers on some Baja Breeze cardstock in Island Indigo and stamped it 3 times without re-inking for a progressively lighter pattern. I rounded the corners and adhered the card together. Finally I added some baker's twine and some faux stitching! 

Really hope you enjoyed this sneak peek! For a bit of a preview of the new catalogue and products I am holding a special preview party on Monday April 30th at 7:30-9:30pm. If you bring along a friend I haven't crafted with before I have a special little gift for you and your friend! I am also holding a super give-away on the night!
