HOLE IN THE ROCK WITH THE SCENIC COAST BUNDLE ~

I have been creating a lot with the Scenic Coast Bundle this week. I will share them all with you in the coming week.

Today’s card though is using the stamps to create a scene. I wasn’t sure what direction to take this when I started it but then it happened. And I created a Hole in the Rock scene.

There is a Hole in the Rock in New Zealand just like this that you can cruise through. I did that some years ago one time when I was there.

For the water I stamped it once in the centre and then either side of that to create a wider water scene. The “Hole in the Rock” was stamped in Pecan Pie for the solid image and Early Espresso for the shadow areas. It creates more depth when doing that.

It is hard to but I also stamped the smaller “water” stamp over the Night of Navy card in 3 areas to create the background. I considered embossing with an embossing folder but it worked ok for a subtle background.

The Hello is from the Simply Said Stamp Set.

This is the Sunset Coast Stamps and Dies.

Check back over the next week as I share more with these stamps and dies and the paper.

Happy Crafting,

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 5

Last day of this Mini Series. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.

See some other ways to stamp with the stamps and dies in this set.

This is the card I created.

You can make your own background paper. You could use different colours for the stamps and dies or as I have using one colour. I chose Smoky Slate as a subtle background.

The flower was stamped in Strawberry Slush and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. The smaller diecut leaves were in Old Olive.

Thanks for following along with this mini Series. Let me know what you think? Would you like to see more like this?

5 MINUTES, 5 DAYS, 5 WAYS WITH THE OPULENT OASIS BUNDLE – DAY 1

I’m bringing you a new series this week. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle. Small bitesize videos to help inspire you when creating with this bundle. But if you don’t have this bundle you might just be able to create these with other stamps/dies you have.

In this video I show you how to use the new Impressions Mat. The mat helps give a little more “puffiness” to the Impressions Dies.

Here is the video for you to follow along.

These are the cards I showed how to make.

Which colour do you like – the Crisp Canteloupe or the Strawberry Slush?

Be sure to check back with the other videos this week as I share more with this Bundle.

Happy Crafting,

EYELET BLOOMS WITH THE NATURE WALK PAPER ~

When I was creating recently I wanted to create a background with the inkpads and Blending Brushes. Time was short though. So I found some patterned paper that would work still. Although I was going to use different ink colours over the card piece the blues would still look ok.

I used a piece from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper pack and diecut it with the Eyelet Blooms Dies. I had spent a bit of time lifting the petals but I see they did flatten a little when I put the card together. I can lift some again now. I just used the Paper Piercer to do that.

I tried out the new Words and Wishes Bundle.The dies have numerous diecut words for your greetings. I will say that the words were larger than I expected. It does pay to read the labels better … But they do make a nice statement and I love how they layer together.

Another surprise was the ‘B’ separated when I diecut it out. I thought I had torn it but it is meant to be that way. I will have to check that when I do the other words.

So when you want a “varied” colour background see what paper you have that could work. Although the creative process can be fun. What do you think?

The Eyelet Blooms Die is May’s Product of the Month. You can select that with a small additional amount with your qualifying order. Check your market. In Australia it is a $9 purchase with your $125 order.

The Words and Wishes Bundle will be available in the upcoming May-September catalogue.

Have fun crafting and experiment with what you have.

LOVELY BLOSSOMS WITH THE EYELET BLOOMS DIE

This was an Oopsie card! I hadn’t intended it to turn out quite like this but that’s ok right. Sometimes you start out with an idea in your head and something doesn’t quite go to plan. There is an Oopsie! We are crafters. We can pivot and change it up.

I wanted to use the Eyelet Blooms Die that is this month’s Product of the Month. I diecut a panel for the front of the card. But it slipped when I diecut and it went slightly crooked. That wasn’t going to work for the front. I could have diecut it again. And I probably will try that again at another time but why waste this piece.

I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! artists created diecutting a tag shape. So I used the Party Banners Dies and diecut a piece from it and added that to a piece of the Lovely Blossoms Paper. And I stamped the flowers and leaves. Bonus, no colouring the flowers … The lighting is not great but it might give you some ideas.

When you use this die you can use the Take a Pick tool or a piercer to lift the little petals of some of the flowers. You could use a Dauber and add some ink to the edges of the petals to highlight them.

So don’t throw away your Oopsies. See how you can change them. Have you done that before?

FLIP IT FUN FOLD CARD + VIDEO

Today’s video is a Flip It card. I don’t know what it’s actual name is but that’s what I call it. I’m going to show you how.

This is the card.

The front panel stands up when you Flip It.

Then when it lays flat.

It is a little larger than a standard card so you may need to make an envelope to fit or give it directly to your special person. You may want to explain how it flips too so they can see the fun of it (and give you a WOW!)

I used the cute Festive Friends Stamps and Dies. You can create this for any occasion whether it is Christmas or Birthday or some other special event.

Here is the video to create your own Or head straight to my Youtube.

Hope you get to make one. As always I will send the writtent tutorial to my Newsletter Subscribers next week. I send out a Tutorial each week. If you would like to receive my Tutorials then you can subscribe to them. The Tab is on the Right Hand Side Bar on my blog.

Happy Crafting,

MOSSY MEADOW FLORAL CHARM CARD ~

I have been playing more with the Floral Charm Suite which includes the Charming Day Bundle and the gorgeous Floral Charm Paper.

This is one of the recent cards. The dark colours are hard to photograph so hope it’s not too dark for you to see.

It did take some time to colour the flowers to be honest. I wasn’t sure about getting the colours right but I’m putting it out there for you anyway. I used the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and touch of the Light Pecan Pie I think.

It’s simply a piece of the Floral Charm paper on a Mossy Meadow Card Base. The strip of Floral Charm Paper helps to highlight the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies.

Here is the Charming Day Bundle. See it more -> HERE.

And that gorgeous Floral Charm Paper. See it more -> HERE.

Don’t forget there is Free Shipping until Friday so this might be good timing if you like to get these – or any other products.
