Colourful Seasons stamps meet Jar of Love - Sneak Peak

Mother's Day is coming and that always means "Pretty Cards"- which is great for me because I'ma floral girl through and through - " A girl can never have too many flowers!"

I have been working hard to create a stash for the Handmade Expo Markets which are on this weekend here in Rockhampton.
This is one of my favourite designs to make and I have quite a few done. But EVERY one of my cards is UNIQUE - I rarely make two exactly the same.

I'm having fun creating with a lovely mix of old and new. 
You have to hand it to Stampin' Up! 
This time more than ever I think they have produced a whole range of new products that work seamlessly with a lot of existing products. All crafters love new things but most have trouble parting with old favourites so it is really nice to be able to combine things.

I love the new Berry Burst - it's a gorgeous , vibrant,  strong and happy colour.
Today I have also used the lace stamp from Grateful Bunch, the flourish thinlits detail strip, Jar of Love, the retiring wooden hearts, the NEW glitter enamel dots and some flowers from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. I will really miss the Grateful Bunch set and the matching punch so if you would like it in your stash don't hesitate to order it from my online store- just hit the Shop Now logo on the Right side of my page and you can access 

I always decorate my envelope - and often the inside of the card is done the same way. Here I have collaged some stamping and mask spongeing. It just adds a little something!
This particular mask is retiring but I'm very happy to report that there is a new set of 4 coming( still 6x6 size) and also a brilliant new product to go with them - I can't wait to get my hands on some and show you!!





If you need something for Mother's Day I'm happy to create to order!

Thanks for looking and remember,

Post something pretty"

    Lovely to meet you today. Wonderful to be a visitor to Rockhampton and bump into another stampin' Uper. The jar of love card above is gorgeous. The stamping on the inside and on the envelope really complete the look. Would love to subscribe to your blog but can't seem to find the subscribe button. Michele

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. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

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 ...
