CAS Flowering Desert Notelet

Hello!
Todays make is a super simple notelet, perfect for sending a quick message and I just love creating these cacti! Infinite possibilities :-)

I used Garden Green for the cactus and Lovely Lipstick for the flowers.
The stamps have this natural looking shading to them so it's really easy to get this look just by inking the stamp.

I love how adding a simple heat embossed sentiment on black card makes this feel super on trend and modern.

And that's todays make! I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be back tomorrow with another, 'till then, happy stamping :-)

Flowering Desert with a Video Tutorial to "Extend Your Stitched Rectangle Dies."

Hello there,
I do hope you've had a wonderful bank holiday weekend? And what wonderful weather we had in the UK! I'm loving being able to sit outside ;-)
Anyway, I actually have my last promised video (I mentioned it HERE) to share with you how to extend the length of your stitched rectangle dies today! I know, I've been really rubbish about videos lately but this was so quick to make and took very little editing (read: I didn't mess it up as I made it!) so here we are.
I'll start with the card first. I used the Flowering Desert stamp set to make this card as I needed to repeat my steps for the video. I really love this stamp set and I'm sorry it's hit the retiring list :-(

 Although I'm really grateful these dies are staying because I've used them a ton already!

 So, let's have a look at this video, shall we?

I've kept the rest of the card fairly simple and for some reason the writing hasn't shown up too well in this picture, it's the stamp in the corner you can just see- "be your own kind of beautiful"

And here's an image to "PIN" so you can find it again easily!

So, that's it for today.
I will be back with another make tomorrow but 'till then, happy stamping :-)

Flowering Desert for an Inspire. Create Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to today's second post. Yes, I actually wrote another quick, but (hopefully) informative post earlier today about the retirement list so if you'd like to read it head HERE.
Anyway, back to today's post and we have another challenge at Inspire. Create and this fortnight it's a wonderful sketch, my favourite kind of challenge! Let's see this sketch first, shall we...

I have chosen to use the Flowering Desert stamp set and a technique I first shared with you about two years ago in a video HERE.
For a completely different look with this image I used a Lovely Lipstick and Blackberry Bliss colourway...

I shared  the video with a basic technique but I did alter it a little by stamping these images onto watercolour paper and also adding in a little extra ink to enhance this image even more as I watercoloured.

 I used the Subtles embossing folder for the card layer behind the image which gives a textured card effect.
The watercoloured paper layer is also longer than the rectangle die in the set and I have a super quick video which I'll share with you tomorrow along with a second card ;-)

 Layered onto a Blackberry Bliss base and add in a touch of black twine and that's it!

Since I made this card the RETIREMENT LIST has been released and this stamp set is one of the ones on it :-( There is much more information on THIS POST that I published earlier today! Please do head over to my shop and take a look before your favourites sell out... 

Finally please do check out the amazing inspiration from the rest of the DT for this sketch challenge HERE!
Thansk so much for looking today and we do hope you'll join in with this challenge!
happy stamping :-)
