WHOOPS – I’VE MISSED A FEW!

Hello to each of you. Thanks for popping by.

I had meant to post a panel card on Wednesday but the day got away from me. I did my Facebook Live, making the panel card. Then I finished preparing for my Coffee & Card at Medley Cafe. It was lovely to have a new lady join me and it was her first time stamping – it was wonderful to see the look on her face after she stamped that first image. Finally, I had an appointment and that was the day.

The panel card was the theme for this week’s Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop. Unfortunately I missed this week. Leonie and Narelle both posted their projects and I have these links for you, so that you can see what they created. Just click on the images to go to their posts.

The same theme but we each created very different cards using a very similar layout. We also used completely different products.

I used the Love You Always Suite for the panel card. It is a simple layout but looks so different with different colours, Designer Series Paper, sentiments, dies and embellishments. I wanted to focus on Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Love You Always Foil Sheets for this project.

It interesting to see how the foil works alongside the matte of the cardstock, especially in the ‘always’ piece. I wrapped the Blushing Bride twine, from the Snail Mal Twine Combo Pack, around a piece of Sahara Sand and tied a bow.

This card is a simple variation of the first card. I used some Adhesive Sheets to attach the ‘always’ directly across the panels. THe ‘together’ was sramped in Blushing Bride before I cut it using one of the dies from the Always Dies.

Panel cards are an efffective way to feature Designer Series Paper and to use it!

Happy stamping.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

Hello – thank you for popping by. I really appreciate the time you take to see what I have been creating.

Today is the end of the creativity period for the #CI96 Colour Inkspiration Challenge.

No photo description available.

The colours in this challenge are so, so pretty.

May be an image of flower and text

For this challenge I decided to use Dena Rekow’s 1000000 Pretty Perennials Stamp Set and coordinating Perennial Petals Dies. I have loved using this bundle so many times and now it is one of the retiring bundles.

PRETTY PERENNIALS BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

I decided to use the, soon to retire, Frost White Shimmer Paint to pearlise pieces of Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green card stock.

Then I used the dies to cut lots and lots of flowers and leaves.

I am pleased that the Friends are Like Seashells Stamp Set is carrying over into the new catalogue.

Now for card #2.

For the second card I used the – soon to retire – Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder to create texture on a strip of pearlised card stock.

Yay, the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set is also carrying over!

It was fun making a second card that was stepped up a little. Now it’s time to start to plan another project.

Happy stamping.
