When I was creating an earlier card I diecut a square from a piece of white card with the Stylish Shapes Dies. There was still some white on the scrap piece that I could do something with later. You save bits like that right??
When I made one of the Sunflower cards recently I grabbed it to stamp my sentiment on.
BUT I thought hang on a minute – that would make a great frame! So I sponged some more Sunflowers with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, cut them out and added them to the frame. How good was it that I actually centred the words on it though too.
Here is the card.
Here it is side on to get a closer look.
The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks has layers that you can build up your flower adding ink or texture paste or even heat embossing. It creates such a great effect.
The paper is from the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set.
Do you have “happy accidents”?
Happy Crafting,

I recently held my Winter Crafternoon event at a local Tea Room. It’s always such a lovely afternoon of crafting and Devonshire Tea. I thought I would share some photos with you especially if you missed it all on Facebook and Instagram.
Gift Bags I made for everyone.
I purchased the brown gift bags from a local discount shop and dressed them up with the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper shopfronts. The paper mat pieces under the shopfronts were using retired Designer Series Paper.
Here is a close-up of 2 of them.
Isn’t’ the sentiment just so sweet?? 🙂 This is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set.
We have the Treat Bags. I added some retired Glimmer Paper and ribbon and of course a chocolate treat. It’s a must isn’t it. 😉 The topper of the bag was using the retired paper to match the Gift Bags.
Some of the crafting fun.
And Yummy Devonshire Tea. This was held at Sugar, Butter, Eggs Tea Room if you are in the Woonona area. You really must go.
I think this will be a regular event on the calendar each year. It is such a special time.
If you are local you need to join us. Contact me to keep up to date with the happening events.
Another fun card with the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper for Day 4. Today we are clothes shopping.
A window was diecut from the Misty Moonlight card mat with Nested Essentials Dies and a piece of the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper adhered underneath before adding it to the white card base.
A strip of Calypso Coral card was embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder for added texture. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set.
The image of the Shopfront was fussy cut from the paper.
It’s the last days for 15% off for this paper and so many other great papers. You can see them all -> HERE in my store.

Do you like Noodles? Welcome to the Noodle House with the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. How fun!
This is our Day 2 Project for the Les Shoppes Paper Week.
The white card was embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders.
Here is a trick too. I didn’t have ribbon to match so I coloured the White Twine with the Calypso Coral Ink. I rolled it over the inkpad several times along the length of it.
I created this for someone special in mind for their birthday coming up. I think they will love this. 🙂
Be sure to grab this paper this week so you can get 15% off.
You can create so many town scene cards with it. Great for the lover of bread, the artist, the clothes shopper, the reader – and the Noodle lover.

This week it’s all about the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. I have had a lot of fun creating with this fun paper and the sweet images.
I used the paper to create lots of cards particularly for my Winter Crafternoon event over the weekend. Everyone just loved the cards and the images. It was so fitting to being held in a Tearoom.
This is one of the projects everyone got to make at the Crafternoon. They received either the Calypso coloured building or the Blue building in their Kits but the design was the same.
The cloud was a cute touch. That was from the Waves Dies set. The sentiment was from the Circle Sayings Bundle and diecut with a die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies.
This is the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. I do love the images. It has different designs of shops on many of the prints and then on the reverse there is patterned prints to co-ordinate. You can create a whole row of shops or just focus on one of the images. So fun!
And bonus – it is 15% off this month. Only a few days left though. See it -> HERE in my store.Now $18.48 AUD.
Watch out for more fun cards this week with this paper. But if you want to grab some don’t leave it too long so you can get it at 15% off.

Our Sunday Suites today is the Les Shoppes Suite. It’s a cute suite. It reminds me a little of paper doll houses when I was growing up. Does it remind you of that?
With this suite you can create unique cards and pages with vintage shops and main streets. There are shop front and vintage awning designs to use the paper directly on your projects or with the stamp set you can use an array of colouring technique options. Such fun!
The Les Shoppes Suite includes:
The Let’s Go Shopping Bundle.
Loose Silver Sequins. (approximately 1200 pieces in 3mm, 4mm and 5mm sizes).
Les Shoppes 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
The Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper.
The colours in this paper are: Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce.
Now for some samples so you can see how these fun products come together.
You don’t always have to colour them either. Stamp the images in different ink colours.
Use the Paper as a background
Add some colour too with the stamped images. I always love the POP of white sentiments on black card.
Do you like this suite? It’s a fun one.
