Reason for the Season Easel Card

I got to play with a new Christmas Stamp Set - coming from our new Holiday Catalogue - which goes live tomorrow - September 1st!!  Woohoo - there are so many GORGEOUS new stamp sets for you to enjoy for Christmas!

This stamp set is a two stamp set - which means that your have the outline stamp set, and then another stamp with the inside colours - and because of the wonderful clear photopolymer stamps, it's really easy to line up the images perfectly!!

I've used the new colours Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush on my poinsettias - don't they look gorgeous!!

Guy Greetings for Fathers Day

I know you can keep a secret - this is the card I've made for my darling man for Fathers Day - because I'm so grateful he is the father of our children.  He's a wonderful support and a great man!

I've done this card previously with a different design

 HERE, and the original idea is also linked to this post!!

Amazing Birthday 21st

How about this for a cool card?!!  Amazing Birthday is such a great stamp set!!

And lots of star sequins to add some fun and bling!!

That little 21 there is from one of the leftovers from a kit featured in our new Holiday Catalogue which is jam packed full of total gorgeousness!!

Be sure to contact me to let me know if you wish me to post you a copy of the new Holiday Catalogue - I know you'll just LOVE it!!

Best Thoughts CASE the Catty Blog Hop

This week on CASEing the Catty we are looking at our awesome Hostess Stamp sets - and my absolute favourite is Best Thoughts!!

So whether you are beginning here, or you've arrived from Emma's lovely project

you will just LOVE looking at all these amazing projects inspired by the Hostess Stamp set chapter.

If you are a regular cruiser on my blog you will know I've made lots of cards using this gorgeous floral image - feel free to scroll back and check them out!!

This card features colouring with markers for the greeting and the outline of the flower, and then watercolouring in the flower too.

The final touch of the watercolouring was to use the white gel pen to highlight the stamens in the centres of the flowers.

 the lovely Jackie and see her great project!

Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper Gift Box

Doesn't this black Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper look amazing with the gold bow!!

I used the gift box punch board to create this gorgeous box, and then just made a little belly band to go around it and topped it off 

The greeting on the note tag comes from Amazing Birthday.

I love how elegant this DSP looks with that glorious gloss stripe and the shiny gold foil paper!!
