No, I’m not blue, but this Christmas Card is for sure. I used that small grove of trees on Garden Green that’s in the Regal Reindeer Bundle(159728) for the pop of colour and added snow with White Emboss Powder. I love the striped die from the Candy Canes die set and cut it out of […]

ONE PRETTY POPPY
Welcome to Friday! It is poppy season here in Canada to get ready for Remembrance Day on November 11th! A special day set aside to honour our Veterans! So, I pulled out the Painted Poppies stamp set(151599) and got work with ink and Stampin’ Blends. It’s a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square with the designer paper […]
STUCK ON BLACK AND WHITE
Are you ready for another card done up in black and white? I just can’t seem to stop, lol. This time, I used the Blessings of Home Bundle(157939) paired up with Perfectly Penciled 12″x12″ designer paper(159244). And, that terrific lattice in black helps to set everything off! I took a strip of basic black from […]
COUNTERPOINT
Counterpoint: a contrasting element. argument, theme, etc. That’s what is here for you today! In other words, the opposite of this card from yesterday. It uses the same stamp sets and colours just reversed. What do you think, the white flower stem or the black flower stem? Did you know that layering the square dies […]
LOVELY IN BLACK
I’m playing with black and white today for this lovely and clean card. There we go, black and white with a touch of green, thanks to the Parakeet Party classic ink pad! I was wondering how to highlight that silhouette stamp from Fresh Cut Flowers(159018) and decided on Black emboss powder to add that extra […]
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
It’s Halloween day and here’s to a fun, safe and spooky time to all! Today’s card features pumpkins of a different sort and caution…….there’s no spooky here! Just a card full of pumpkins done in Bermuda Bay with touches of Crushed Curry. I played around with the Split Card Textures dies(159162) and backed the design […]
THE SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING
The season of Christmas is fast approaching so I created this card to add to my stash. Christmas means wreaths to me so I used the wreath die from the Natural Prints dies(158800) to start. Then, since the Vellum Layering Designs was sitting on my table, I added a background piece over the Garden Green […]
ON MY MIND
Hello and welcome! The technique in this card has been on my mind to try for a while, so here it is! The centrepiece is the Layering Designs Vellum(157764) with the images from the Nature’s Prints Bundle(158801). The technique is to stamp images on both the front and back of the vellum to get a […]
