Lovely You with a Citrus Twist.

Today called for bright cards to compensate for the dreary weather. Cards one and two are set on a Whisper White Card stock and uses cardstock on Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral. They are then stamped using the Lovely You Stamp set, again in Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral. Card three is based on Granny Apple Green Card stock.

   

For this card, I created the shapes with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. It is a very versatile way to make tags, labels or interesting designs.

   

This card uses the Stitched Shapes Dies to create circles with a faux stitched edge. (Sadly that does not show in the photos)

     

The stamped shapes in card three uses the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and the sentiment is made with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added a few rhinestones to add highlights as well

Boho Indigo with a Twist

Well Melbourne is not the place to be at the moment as we find ourselves in Stage Four Lockdown. It can be stressful and daunting to be faced with another 6 weeks of restrictions and all that means for so many people. My thoughts are with those doing it tough at this time.

Personally, I needed a little pick me up today and my happy place is my Studio. It is bright, warm and filled with possibility. It is there that thoughts of the world disappear for a while. Much of the day was spent tidying and rearranging so that my lovely Stampin' Up! products were on display and easily at hand (a little pun there). 

Today's card is a bright, sunny Birthday Card

The base card is Daffodil Delight and the next layer is Whisper White. The sentiment label is made up of Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White. The stamp pads used are Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam and Coastal Cabana. The vases and flower motif are from the Boho Indigo Stamp set and cut with the Boho Indigo Dies. Foliage is stamped from the Lovely You Stamp Set. I have used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to create the tags. The flower motif and central vase are mounted on stampin' dimensional to give a little depth to the image. The bow is from the Boho Indigo suite and three little rhinestones complete the picture.  I love to include a Whisper White insert to write on and always add a small decoration as I believe the inside of a card should be just as beautiful as the outside.

Lovely You Stamp Set

It was a lovely surprise to get an Australia Post delivery on a Sunday, in fact, so surprising that I had to check the date. As usual, my delivery guy Joel was all smiles and cheery while he greeted my boisterous buddy Nugget, the dog.

The best part of the surprise was that it was a Stampin' Up!® delivery and I got to play with new stamps and colours. Today I used to Lovely You stamp set which is a cling set. It has cute little flowers and foliage as well as some "Lovely" sentiments, and we can never have enough sentiments can we? 

I have been hoping to use the Highland Heather and Purple Posy cardstock and they worked so well with the set, using Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron stamp pads. The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch works perfectly with these sentiments and are a good bundle to purchase. It saves a little money to purchase bundles and who doesn't want that? The Gingham ribbon comes for the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and ties in quite well, don't you think?

            

This is a fairly feminine card so the challenge was then to create something that was a little more masculine. 

This was the result. I love the earthy tones in this, against the wood grained layer of the card. I started with a Soft Suede base card and layered a wood grain from the In Good Taste DSP. I then layered a piece of sticky note in the centre of my Whisper White layer and stamped around it using Soft Suede and Sahara Sand stamp pads. Then I removed the sticky note paper and stamped the sentiment into the negative space left behind. The Faux Suede ribbon comes as part of The World of Good Suite.  To purchase any of these products SHOP WITH ME NOW! or click on any of the images below.
