Hello everyone,
I had a little bit of time between household chores to create this card for the latest INKspiration challenge, and these colours are definitely spoke to me as I have recently made two of the rooms in my home into "Hampton" rooms using these colours.
I gathered the "Beauty of the Deep" bundle, along with the retired "Friends are Like Seashells" Stamp Set and Dies, and found an old stash of the "Heart & Home" DSP for the background panel, and added a couple of Silver Foil reeds with some pebbles (full product list at the end of this post).
If you would like to play along, please pop on over to the Colour INKspiration facebook page and check out the latest challenge.
Cheers,

Hello Stampin' friends,
Thought it was time to make another sampler and couldn't go past the greens/blues in the Delightful Floral DSP. The finished size is 12" x 12" with nine (9) panels. There's quite a product list for this project, but as always, you can substitute where necessary, and even keep the design layout and change the DSP and colours. See end of this post for Product List.
If you would like the instructions for sampler including all trimming guides and stamping/die-cut elements, the PDF Tutorial is now available, worldwide, using Imperial measurements:

Hello everyone,
I'm back with my second project card kit featuring the Translucent Floral Bundle, paired with the Delightful Floral DSP. I have made four of each colour group, using lots of elements, die-cut with both cardstock and the reverse side of the DSP (flowers and leaves). I have also used new and a few retired products, all listed at the end of this post, with Fresh Freesia, Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist for pops of colour.

Hello and welcome back,
I'm very much in love with these gorgeous "blue" vellum flowers, made from the Translucent Florals Dies, coordinating with splashes of Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake foliage. Because of all the elements and the size of the flowers, I wanted to make a couple of "big" cards. The two top cards - Window Card and Double Box Card - measure 5 1/2" square when flat and the bottom card - Faux Step Card - measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". To make these flowers, you will need to allow some drying time so these were my first elements to make. They are coloured with Stampin' Blends (Orchid Oasis, Boho Blue and Balmy Blue) on the reverse side, set aside to dry then assembled with Glue Dots, adding coordinating cardstock flower centres. Anyone that knows me, won't be surprised that I used these colours!
I used a few products (see product list at the end of this post), and as always, you can substitute where necessary.

Another card designed today and this one is a "sketch" challenge for the TGIF Challenges.
For this card, I pulled out all my neutral colours and used the Earthen Textures Bundle with some strips of the O Holy Night DSP. Scroll down for a full product list.
To create the circle, I adhered strips of the DSP onto a piece of Window Sheet then die-cut with the Deckled Circles Dies. This is mounted on the card front. Finished off the card with neutral elements, ribbon and trim, and a white heat embossed sentiment.
Would you like to play along with the TGIF Challenges??

Hello stampin' friends,
Time to start card challenges again and today I'm sharing my card for the Global Design Project #410 Sketch Challenge.
When creating cards for challenges, my first step is to go through my "scraps" boxes, and I'm happy to say, this is where I found all the elements for this card.
This is my favourite pattern in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP and I added Soft Sea Foam floral elements, Bubble Bath and Basic White daisies with a bold Berry Burst sentiment.
Anyone can enter - all you need to do is pop on over to the blog - Global Design Project - and check out the latest challenge.
Cheers,
Hello and welcome to my very first project that I'm sharing on my new blog.
Today I have a card kit using the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. I started by trimming each pattern to 6" x 4" and set about designing twelve (12) cards, two of each pattern. I used a load of products (see product list at the end of this post), both current and retired, and as always, you can substitute where necessary. If you would like the instructions and trimming guide for this card kit, the PDF Tutorial is now available, worldwide, and for both Australia/UK and US/Canada, and using Imperial measurements.
