This week I'm super excited to be hosting over at The Friday Mashup. I'm a big fan of paper-piecing, and I came across this fabulous project by Mariska a little while back that got me inspired! I used the flower from Simply Sketched and stamped it three times on Coaster Board. If you haven't tried coaster board, give it a shot! What a great product and worked so well for this technique. Because the board is so thick, it gave the flower dimension without needed to use any special adhesive. It's also subtle enough that it gives great depth without making the card too bulky. I coloured the flower with Cherry Cobbler and Primrose Petals. I wanted to keep the card background very simply. I started with a Soft Sky cardbase and sponged Marina Mist pulling in from the edge of the cards. It gave it a very soft, natural effect. For the fraemlit, after I ran the Coaster board through the Big Shot, I left the framelit die in place and sponged lightly around it - this gave a little hint of white around the edges where the framelit protected the cardstock from the sponging. For the frame around the window framelit, I wanted something a little thinner than the next size framelit would have produced, so I cut a square out of Cherry Cobbler that was only 1/4" bigger than the window framelit. Then I punched out two 1-3/4" circles and cut them in half. They fit perfectly behind the window framelit, mimicking the shape and allowing for a thinner border. Check out the challenge this week: Create a project with "Cherry Cobbler, Primrose Petals, Soft Sky & Marina Mist" Create a project using "3D Paper Piecing" Or Mash it Up and create a "3D Paper Piecing Project with the above Colors" I can't wait to see what you create! Please come join us this week :) Thanks for stopping by! -Tara xox Supplies: Stamps: Simply Sketched Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Primrose Petals, Soft Sky, Marina Mist, Pistachio Pudding Paper: Coaster Board, Soft Sky CS, Cherry Cobbler CS, Subtles DSP pack Embellishments: Pearls Tools: Window Framelits, Sponge, Big Shot

Hello Peeps !!! Happy Monday!!! I love this Just Thinking stamp from the Mini. There is till time to order this set, so don't miss out. I stamped the image twice then I cut the sentiment to create a 3-d effect. For my background, I just want the embossed look of the doily. I love the look of rhinestones for my embellishments and the sweet double bow for the ribbon. I am kinda sad that Baja Breeze is leaving-it is one of my favorite colors. Hope you like the card. Hop over to Jean's blog ( Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see what she had made for her Simply Simple card.

You don't need a PhD in Mathematics to be an effective card maker, but this hobby really takes some thorough planning and lots of attention to detail. Not only do we card makers need to carefully plan the layout of colors to get the layering we want, but we also

Every super hero needs a red cape! I used the sunburst die item 140617, for the yellow sunburst. The super-mom and her cape and the comic WOW, are all from the new stamp set Everyday Hero item 143080 on page 49 of the Occasions 2017 catalog. The people parts come in separate stamps. I trimmed the connecting edges just a bit (the stamps are photopolymer) so I could get them stamped as if they are one piece. The sequins add just enough pop and sparkle to keep the project from looking flat. Remember the rule of odds when adding items, only use an odd number, 1 3 5 7.... Even though I am not a fan of comic books or superhero's I do love this stamp set. Its different enough from all the flower and such that it really caught my eye in the catalog. I used the new Layering Ovals 141706 and Circles 141705 for the other shapes on the card. They can be found on page 193 of the Annual Catalog. Obviously this is an upcoming swap I have been working on, for next weeks swap. Thank you for stopping by today. Keep being creative, Sandy Thank you for stopping by today! Keep being creative, Sandy
Hello, my stamping friend. Finally I jumped on 'eclipse card making' wagon too. Eclipse cards are very popular right now, many talented stampers are coming up with different ideas. I decided to use Painted Harvest stamp and 'You' as a word: Few tips for you: decide where your eclipse word will go, then stamp sentiment to coordinate on whisper white card stock. Stamp your background as you normally would. Place letter framelits and run through big shot. Make sure you collect all pieces (important). in my case - center from O needed to be saved Adhere whisper white piece to early espresso card stock with snail. If you have any other small pieces (not actual letter) - adhere them with snail too. Use letters as a guide. Add adhesive strips to the back of letters. Add them to the card. Adhesive strips is a key! Here is the closer look of each card. I used Sweet Sugarplum/Rich Raspberry comp for flowers: Soft Sky/Bermuda Bay combo for flowers: Think about any 2-4 letter words that you can use on eclipse cards and go for it. My next projects will be with words - WINE, LOVE, MOM. What will you create? Happy Stamping! Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set [144783] $21.00 Large Letters Framelits Dies [141712] $99.00 Foam Adhesive Strips [141825] $8.00 Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [100730] $9.00 Early Espresso 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [119686] $8.00

There's nothing quite so gratifying as stamping an image and then cropping it out with a Framelit or punch. It gives our images such versatility and range. While I love bundles that give me a coordinating stamp set and Framelit, I'm a HUGE FAN of the new line of Layering
I have had a few enquiries regarding sizes of the new Layering Framelits so thought I would put up photos with all the sizes (this is part 2 of 3 so check the other blog posts also and be sure to pin them for future reference) The sizes mentioned are the cut size they are all designed to compliment and layer if you would like to purchase please head on over to the shop by clicking the shopping trolley over to your right.

Happy Monday, peeps! I have stamp club tonight, looking forward to seeing some of my friends! I wanted to make a sample from Jar of Flowers using the jar domes (which are backordered right now), so I did a bit of experimenting. Now, sometimes my experiments turn out great, and others...not so great. I would say this is not so great, although it's good enough to show off the products. So here we go: I wanted to show off the Rainbow Glimmer paper and I thought it would be fun to use the Butterfly Duet punch to create a few butterflies and create a shaker card. I was worried about them flipping over in the dome, so I glued several together back to back....not necessary. The dome is flat enough that I don't think they would flip over, plus the rough texture of the glimmer paper actually keeps them from moving around; they're still pretty: I chose some Coastal Cabana DSP as the mat for my card. I didn't get my dome in quite straight, so it looks a little wonky, and you can only punch into a piece of cardstock or DSP up so far, and I would have liked to have had it up a little higher. However, the large space gave me a chance to use one of the Happiest Birthday sentiments on top, and I added a couple more butterflies: I stamped the largest sentiment on the inside as well, using Magenta Madness ink: I didn't want to waste the little jar that I had punched out of the Coastal Cabana DSP, so I stamped the jar image on the opposite side and used it to create a jar for my pretty roses: I stamped them in So Saffron ink and used Blends to color them ink, then stamped another image, fussy-cut one flower out, and layered it on top. The Coastal Cabana was a little too bright for my liking, so I punched a jar from Vellum cardstock and layered it on top to soften it a bit. I mounted it on a Whisper White panel that was diecut with an Ornate Layer die, then layered that on top of a So Saffron DSP layer. A sentiment from Many Mates was diecut with a die from Smooth Sailing, and I added a gingham ribbon in Just Jade: Doing a little scrambling: Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Hi everyone, sharing some cards I made to send out to a few friends and family during this time of social distancing. I miss seeing everyone, but thought I could send a little note to keep in touch. For my cards I used the Ornate Gardens Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Ornate Thanks stamp set, Ornate Layers Dies, Daisy Lane stamp set, Medium Daisy Punch and the Leaf Punch. I really like the saying 'just wanted to say' as you can then lead into what you want to say inside the card. I have just stamped some daisies inside my card for decoration, but you could stamp another sentiment such as 'Thanks' from the same stamp set or 'Happy Birthday' from another stamp set. You could make these cards and have them on hand for any occasion. The base card is Early Espresso with a Whisper White mat behind the Designer Series Paper. This colour combination is Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile. The next two cards have the new colour Bumblebee in the Designer Series Paper and as this ink colour is not yet available (coming soon) I used So Saffron to stamp the daisy flowers. I got 6 cards from each 12" x 12" piece of Designer Series Paper, so I have quite a little stash of cards to send out. I just need to sit down and write my message to everyone. Did you notice the centre of the daisies, these are the new Gilded Gems. Just perfect for adding a little bit of bling. If you live in Australia you can get all the supplies you need for this project from me. You can place an order online or Contact Me and place an order. SHOP WITH ME! Thank you for visiting.

Hiya! It's time for another Friday Mashup challenge, and this week Holly's got a great one... Here's your Mashup Challenge: Create a project with "Washi Tape." Create a "set of 3x3 Quick Note Cards." Or Mash it Up and create a "Set of 3x3 Note Cards using some Washi Tape". Now I have to admit, I'm a new fan of washi tape, but I'm NOT a fan of 3x3" cards (they just seem a bit useless to me!) - but I thought I would tackle the challenge head on and create a set of little cards that could perhaps be Christmas gift cards or something... We have some great new washi tape available in our seasonal catalogue which was perfect for this project so I decided to make some washi tape ornaments... And I was quite pleased with how they turned out! I created the ornaments by sticking strips of washi tape to a piece of large strip of Whisper White card, then placed the ornament framelits over the top and ran through my Big Shot to create a bunch of washi ornaments - easy peasy and very quick! I had to add some sparkle so I took out a scrap of Champagne Glimmer paper and die-cut just the tops of the ornaments then glued them over the washi ones. The sentiments are from Teeny Tiny Wishes (cut with the Itty Bitty Banners framelit) and Petite Pairs. To create the layer behind the ornaments, I cut some Whisper White card with one of the squares framelits, then replaced my cutting mat with the Big Shot crease mat, placed the next smallest framelit over the Whisper White square (cutting edge down) and ran through the Big Shot again... voila! Lovely debossed frame! I made the 3x3" cards out of Cherry Cobbler textured card (also available in the seasonal catty) and added some faux stitching to a couple using the new chalk marker (lots of fun and very easy to use!). I even made a little box for these... I'm thinking they will make a cute hostess gift!! Here's the recipe: Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Petite Pairs Ink: Old Olive Paper: Cherry Cobbler textured card, Old Olive, Whisper White, Champagne Glimmer Accessories: Season of Style washi tape, white chalk marker Tools: Squares framelits, Ornament framelits, Itty Bitty Banner framelits Make sure you check out the rest of the wonderful washi creations from the design team this week!
