Kelly's Social Stamping Bright Beautiful blooms bloghop

It's Kelly's social stamping monthly bloghop and this is my project.

I didn't really notice the Pierced Blooms dies in the Jan-Jun catalogue at first. 

I'm not sure the catalogue does them justice- and I don't think my photos will either, but they are absolutely gorgeous.I din't purchase the stampset but you can use the dies as a stand alone product as they contain so much gorgeous detail.

This month Kelly has challenged us to create using the BRIGHTS palette.

It's so nice to be a part of this casual friendly group of amazing crafters - keeps me motivated and connected; and it's great to be using the Brights.They are always fun happy colours.

I have had a greeting card pinned to my noticeboard for many many years and although I don't adhere to its beautiful advice all the time I do love to read it and be reminded to slow down. It seemed these blossoms were the perfect way to preserve it. Being very old the card has a few blemishes but that's ok, don't we all. I trimmed a few off the edge and hid a few with sequins!

I cut a big stash of flower pieces from bright colours so I made a card as well. I was delighted to find that the A Little Note images worked really well as a subtle addition to the frame and the inside of the card.


These images were a sublte way to add texture to the frame. I coordinated with some of the DSP from the Fine Art Floral DSP. The gorgeous watercolour wash pages are calling to me but I haven't really had much time to play with them yet...sigh.


and here's a close up of the verse. May it inspire you too.

I haven't used all the colours, but there's quite a few in there. And I did snip some additional Granny Apple Green stems to add to the diecut bunch.

Bermuda Bay,Coastal Cabana,Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade.
What a fabulous collection of happy colours.

Pierced Blooms Dies

I can't wait to see what everyone else has created. Next on this months hop is Sandra Collett from across the ditch!

The card doesn't say take time to be creative- but I think there is great power in that too. I hope you find some time for you.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

    I must admit I hadn’t noticed these dies in the catalogue. They have such great stitched detail. I think I’ll have to go and have a look. I love both your card and frame. The bright flowers are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

    What a beautiful way to preserve this wonderful and wise verse. And the bunches of flowers are totally perfect for these colours. Super super gorgeous.

    Oh no, you’ve sold me on these dies! The bunch of flowers looks so good against the green background and the perfect addition to the verse.

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,...

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.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
