You might have seen the cute Hearts and Hugs Bundle around? It’s a sweet one. So today – let’s check it out for Sweet Sunday.
This one is a bright, cheery, heart flower hug for you. (That’s a mouthful isn’t it!).
This card is created by Stampin’ Up! Artists but there are some features I just love – and it might inspire you with some ideas for your next project.
Use a mini heart punch to create flowers. Add some additional flowers and leaves too.
On the white card sponge a little ink to create a background.
Instead of just a card mat to lay your feature piece on, cut strips of card and emboss them before adding the pieces evenly on your card base. And give those edges a little sponge to help highlight them.
Are there ideas you could use?
This is the Hearts and Hugs Bundle. (It is reduced this month too which is a bonus savings).
I shared a post recently of a card I CASED from the Annual Catalogue. Head back 2-3 posts back on my blog if you missed it. I thought I would share more of the card here now.
This is the card created copying one from page 53 of the Annual Catalogue.
I have used the Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies. I diecut the leafy stem from the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper which adds a lovely sparkle. You can see that below.
The small flowers were diecut with one of the dies and then some Pretty in Pink Ink dabbed on the edges of the petals.
Don’t forget to use your Catalogue for inspiration when you are stuck. It is a great resource that we overlook.
The Flowers of Beauty are at the moment unavailable which is a shame BUT they will be back very soon. So you can grab your set then. Or if you would like me to let you know when they are back please comment or email me and I can notify you as soon as they are.

Now off you go and grab your catalogue. Have a flick through and see what card inspires you to create.
For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.
To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.
Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.
During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.
This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.
Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.
What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.
The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.
You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!
If you are in Australia you can shop for them directly there if you would like to add them to your crafty supplies. OR Contact me and I can help you out.
Wildflower Designs Bundle. Have you noticed this one?
I’m loving the dies and how they layer together. Check these cards out. (Created by Stampin’ Up! Artists)
This is a great way of showing off the pretty papers. Make it a star within the diecuts. The papers are the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper.
Or this one, Diecutting the paper this time and layering them over the card as a background. This is a great way instead of just adding a piece of paper as a card mat.
What do you think of these ideas?
The Wildflower DesignsBundle are just one of the bundles reduced this month with the Bundle Sale in June.
If you want to check them all out you can see them out in my store -> HERE.

Wednesday’s WOW! #162 – Use Your Catalogue for Inspiration.
Do you struggle with creating sometimes?
You can find so much inspiration with the projects in the catalogue.
Copy them as they are.
Give them a twist in direction.
Change the colours.
Use a different stamp set or other products.
I was looking for ideas for the Unbounded Beauty Suite and came across this card on page 53 of the catalogue. Then changed it a little for my card.
I created a larger frame and added a sparkly leaf spray with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper. I used a piece of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for the mat behind the white card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp set.
So next time you are stuck with inspiration, pull out your catalogue.

I shared a card just last post with the Layers of Beauty Bundle. That gorgeous bundle is so popular right now.
After a request I have put together a video in creating the card and shared some tips in using the masks particularly. They are fun to use but there might be some little points to look out for when using them.
This is the card.
You can follow along with the video here or it is now on Youtube.
Hope you find them helpful.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
