A Fish and a Wish

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set A Fish and a Wish. And apparently the set wanted to make some DSP.

I used Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron and Gorgeous Grape on white for the background. this was then added to a Bermuda Bay cardbase.

The sentiment, from A Fish and a Wish, was stamped in Bermuda Bay and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. It was added to the card with some dimensionals.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. You can watch live, see the replay or check it out on YouTube.

When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

Sweet Citrus bundle

Leave a reply

This week I’m using the Sweet Citrus bundle which includes a hybrid embossing folder. This is really brilliant – you can cut and emboss at the same time. I was inspired by my friend in the UK, Kylie Henshaw at Hello Crafter – I love her clean style. It wasn’t until I saw her video that I realised what the hybrid embossing folder could do for me. She did warn me that it’s addictive and she’s totally right!

I used five colours: Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Rich Razzleberry. Using my stamparatus I stamped the outline of the fruits full strength and then added the interior after stamping off once. Next I added the die to the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder and cut out four different pieces of fruit in each colour in one go.

I chose the fruit slices and piled them up, popping up a couple with dimensionals onto a white layer. The sentiment from the Sweet Citrus set was stamped onto the layer in Flirty Flamingo and then added to a card base of the same colour.

To finish the card, I added some Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels and then some Wink of Stella to make the slices look more juicy.

What will I do with the other pieces of fruit?!

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. You can see the replay or check it out on YouTube.

Thanks a Bunch

My second card using the Thanks a Bunch set from the Saleabration brochure at the $50 level. Don’t forget that Saleabration ends at the end of the month.

I stamped several of the images directly onto a white card base. I used Granny Apple Green, Orchid Oasis and Evening Evergreen.

The sentiment, from the Thanks a Bunch set, was stamped in Granny Apple Green and die cut with the Layering Circles. A scalloped piece of Granny Apple Green was cut out again using the layering circles. These were layered together and added to the card with dimensionals. Finally a few of the incolors Matte Decorative Dots were added.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

Finally – the carrots! The set is called Thanks a Bunch and it’s from the Saleabration brochure at the $50 level. Don’t forget that Saleabration ends at the end of the month.

A piece of Granny Apple Green was cut to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and then embossed using the Fern 3D folder. This was layered onto a Granny Apple Green card base.

Next, the main image was stamped in Pale Papaya and Mango Melody with Granny Apple Green for the greenery. This was matted in Mango Melody and added to the card. The sentiment, from the Thanks a Bunch set, was stamped in Mango Melody and die cut with the Layering Circles. A scalloped piece of Mango Melody was cut out again using the layering circles. These were layered together and added to the card with dimensionals. Finally a few rhinestone basic jewels were coloured using the dark Mango Melody blends and added to the card.

Dainty Flowers DSP

Leave a reply

The Dainty Flowers DSP is a pack of paper you can get for free from the Saleabration brochure with a $50 product order. Normally, if I can see me using around half of the patterns, I get the DSP (unless one or two are just irresistible) but this pack I can see using all but two!

This is a very simple card – I cut a 5 1/4 by 4 inch piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP. I wanted to get all of the orange/yellow flowers so I sliced the paper to get all of them. Next I cut a little off the right hand side to make the DSP 4 inches wide.

This was added to a Mossy Meadow card base. I contemplated a sentiment or some embellishments but I finally decided that this would be too much and left it unadorned. Let me know what you think about that decision.
