Valentine's Day card with Vintage Verses

Well this is the first Valentine's Day Card I have ever made. It hasn't been a type of card i have ever given, but this year I have been inspired by the Vintage Verses Stamp Set from Sale a Briton, and also by the gorgeous Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (129312).

I have taken one of the Midnight Muse pages and cut around the beautiful journalling section. I have mounted this on Midnight Muse cardstock and trimmed it with a small border to compliment the design. I love how intricate and delicate it is. Then I stamped the "day as perfect as you are" using the stamp n' write markers to colour selected sections of the rubber only. The Happy Valentine's Day sentiment comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set (119185) and is stamped in Old Olive.

The background paper is also Old Olive form the Polka Dot Parade DSP (126902) which has been sponged around the edges to soften the white polka dots a little.

The new Striped Organdy Ribbon from page 30 of the summer Mini (129291) was one of those "must try" purchases and I am not sorry I bought it - it's really easy to use. since I am giving this to my Husband who doesn't really go for pink I thought I would try and not make it too pretty, so I anchored the ribbon with the ribbon sliders which were in the Christmas Catalogue. I was really pleased with the new Stampin' Trimmer (129722) and how easy it was to cut an accurate slit 1.2cm long on each side of the journal piece. If you don't have one of these trimmers I can really recommend them - they make it all so easy.

I did put a little bit of bling on my card with some silver highlight using the stampin dazzle pen from the christmas catalogue, and I cut out and layer up 2 hearts out in each of the silver glimmer paper, and the midnight muse cardstock using my newest purchase - the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits(125596).

SO many great products, and it is so easy when they all coordinate. If you would like to purchase any of these please contact me.

Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Maybe now I'll try a pink version with one of the other pages form the paper stack, hmmm...

thanks for looking, Liz

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours. I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media. This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together. In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
