Buffalo Check with Signs Of Santa for a Non-Festive card!

Hello there,
Today I have a card which uses some Christmas stash for a non-Christmas card!
The background Buffalo Check stamp is on the carryover list so is still available but the Mrs Clause from Signs of Santa is retired now. Did you get this set? I love her sweet expression and think that in pink she looks just adorable and not at all festive, let's have a look...

 I do love this buffalo check stamp, I used it with Blushing Bride here, layered with a fine edge of black card.

 I coloured Mrs Clause with blends and as she has a holly sprig in her hair I added a punched flower to cover it which has the added bonus of adding a little dimension too!
I also think she'd look fabulous like this on tags for homemade jams etc..

 Finished with a chalkboard tag which was also a Christmas set and some sequins (of course) ;-)

So, that's all for today, I'll be back on Wednesday with a new challenge from Inspire. Create, so please do stop by for that!
Thanks for looking today :-)

Delightfully Detailed Floral Paper Coloured With Blends

Hello there!
So, as I'm discovering as I upload my cards on here I am realising I use my Stampin' Blends pens a LOT!  Yep, I can highly recommend these pens, if you hadn't noticed ;-) I mean, I'm no expert colourer but they are super easy to use and give you a great effect with minimal effort. Today I used them to colour the floral Delightfully Detailed DSP. I originally intended to just colour a few of the flowers and leaves on this panel of paper but in the end, as you can see, I just couldn't stop...

I backed the coloured in paper with a layer of crumb cake card then basic grey card.

Topped with a sentiment from the Banners For You, silver thread and then layered onto a Bermuda Bay card base.

I currently have just the first release of the Blends but am looking forward to expanding my collection over the coming months. You can find all the BLENDS that are now available HERE, in my shop :-)

Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick Tropical Chic

Hello there,
I was having a play with the Tropical Chic stamps and dies the other day while on the phone to my friend and this little card kinda came from nowhere as I was chatting!

I started with stamping the leaves down the side in Tranquil Tide before stamping a few flowers on a separate piece of thick white card and die cutting them out.

To create these two tone flowers: Ink the whole flower first using Flirty Flamingo ink then, using a sponge dauber, add Lovely Lipstick ink around the edges before stamping the image.

I added some of the flowers with mini dimensionals and some flat before stamping, fussy cutting and layering the sentiment. And of course, finish with a few sequins!
I love when a card just "happens" don't you?

Little Elephant Stamps and Builder Punch

Hello!
Today's card is one I made for our sons girlfriend for her birthday recently. She likes 'cute' so I had a play with the Little Elephant stamps and punch and I used three of the lovely, vibrant new In Colours - Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green and Blueberry Bushel...

I must say, I really love how well these colours worked together!

I am enjoying making these little frames again {which I first did HERE} and had forgotten about it 'till recently! Do you do that too?

So, she liked the card and I really enjoyed playing with this stamp set! How cute is that little Ellie?!

So, that's all for today, I'll be back soon with another make :-)
