Eight Cool Treats! :-)

Hello!
I have a selection of cards to share with you today using the Cool Treats stamps and some of the (sadly retired) paper that went with it. I love how many different combinations you can make from just one stamp set, take a look...

I stamped the ice creams onto stitched edge, die cut card layers for subtle interest.

And again, another flat card, great for posting easily!

A few more of the designs I made in this batch

And a picture to pin for ideas on colours in the future!

Right, that's all from me for today, back tomorrow with more!

Hello there,
You'll be reading this post on Friday morning (all going to plan) which is sure to be a big day here at Chez Rae - as it's prom day for our Zoe! So I am writing this on Thursday evening as I'm sure there will be the whole hair/make up/wardrobe 'thing' happening aaaaaalll day here ;-) We are just hoping the weather holds up and the rain stays away for all the photos. It may be a bit too much to hope the sun shines though, I think...
So, I'm channelling the sun with this card instead! This is the last of my makes using the "Day at the Beach" stamps (sadly retired)....

 I coloured the frames in different colours and added shading to the lens' with smoky slate before topping them with Wink of Stella in clear, gotta love me some sparkle!!

 The sentiment is from the Cool Treats stamps and some sequins from my stash too!

 And one more photo to finish today.
Remember today is the last day to use the June hostess code when shopping SU! with me, for a surprise treat in the post in July ;-)

Well, that's the card for today.
I'll share a photo of the prom girl on Instagram later in the day if you fancy a peek :-)
Thanks so much for looking today!

Fun in the Sun! Using Day At The Beach by Stampin' Up!

Hello there from a hot and sunny Southampton!
It's super hot here and right now we are all wishing we had air con at home and not just in the car ;-)
 So, I made this card recently with the (sadly, now retired) Day At The Beach stamp set but I think it's just perfect for this weather, take a look...

 I stamped each image then, using a blender pen and the same ink pad, added a little shading

 Before colouring over each image with my clear Wink of Stella pen and adding coordinating sequins from my stash ;-)

 Ah, to be by the pool while blogging... #lifegoals

 Well, that's all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another (final) Day At The Beach card.
I'm off to my craft room for a couple of hours, see you soon :-)

Golden Roses

Hello to y'all !!

Today's card is a card for my mum's friends who are celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary in March, (we can only hope our husbands will put up with our crafty mess for that long !!!!) I just had to have this "Rose is a rose" set just for this card !! (and a few others) Have got lots of ideas for this set so keep 'em peeled !!

I used pearlescent card with a computer generated sentiment, the lovely "Rose is a Rose" stamp set with Summer sun ink from the earth elements colour family. I stamped off on scrap paper for the first layer to make it pale and then used it 'neat' for the second step so you get the contrast, all done with the help of the trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig. Old olive for the leaves and stems using the same technique. Also added a bit of fine glitter which you can't see very well on the photo as it was very grey and even snowing for a bit here this morning- roll on the summer I say !! White organza ribbon and Rainbow drops from stash.

Hope you like it and I will be back later with a couple of projects for our "Jems challenge" !!

Hugs
