A VERY SPECIAL WEDDING CARD WITH THE ARTISTIC DIES!

I can finally share this card now. This was a very special wedding card to make for my son and his new wife who recently were married.

It’s a simple card but that’s my style. 🙂 But the shine on it was beautiful. Sadly you can’t quite capture that in a photo.

I used the Pearlescent Specialty Paper to diecut the flower using the Artistic Dies. Sadly this paper is not available now. It gives such a beautiful shimmer. I hope you can see that in the photo below.

Cinnamon Cider was used for the card mat as that was a close match to the Bridesmaids dresses. The sentiment from Last a Lifetime (retired) was Heat Embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.

For the inside I used a piece of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper to add some shine. I used the Saddle Brown Stazon to stamp the sentiment and flower as it was a shiny surface.

How cool though! The flower from the Last A Lifetime stamp set matched so well with the diecut flower from the Artistic Dies.

I have to share a photo of the happy couple right. 🙂 We haven’t got the professional photos yet. This is just one of my happy snaps. There was just so much happiness and smiles on the day.

Below is Josh and Claire and my daughter Carlie who was one of the bridesmaids with her boyfriend James.

Ok. Now I have indulged you I will be back with more inspiration soon.

Have a great day,

Jenny

CELEBRATE SUNFLOWERS EMBOSS RESIST CARDS!

Last post I shared a video with the Emboss Resist Technique using the lovely Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. I thought I would share the second card with you that I showed right at the end. Hope you caught that one.

Here they are.

The Daffodil Delight card was created in the video and I showed the unfinished Granny Apple Green/Bermuda Bay.

What one do you like the best? I would love to know. I have to say the Granny Apple Green one is quite striking.

If you missed the video head back to the last post and catch it or it is now on Youtube. (Be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel so you can catch the videos I share).

I hope you have a go at it. Send me email with your version. I would love to see.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

ARTISTICALLY INKED – INCOLOR SPLOTCHES!

Playing with the Artistically Inked stamps and dies recently. I thought it would be fun to create a card with the 2021 Incolors and the “splotch” stamp. Well that’s what I am calling it anyway.

Just a tip when you want to stamp this – Stamp the top one and the bottom one first. Just have them off the edge a little. Then you can fill the centre section with the other 3 colours. It is a little easier to evenly space them.

I have made a few cards with this gorgeous bundle and I will share more with you soon.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

SUNDAY SUITES – EXPRESSIONS IN INK SUITE!

Back with Sunday Suites. And today let’s check out the Expressions in Ink Suite. I have been playing with the stamps and dies lately which I will share with you soon, but it would be good to see all this suite more closely.

We have the complete Expressions in Ink Suite Collection.

This includes the –

Artistically Inked Stamp Set
Artistic Dies
Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper
Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack

The Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous.

How pretty is it?? The paper has gorgeous florals but oh so lovely Gold Foiling touches. It is hard to see these in the photo.

The colours in the paper are Evening Evergreen, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Mint Macaron, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink, Shaded Spruce, gold.

There is also the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack.

In this pack receive 50 precut foil pieces: 5 sheets of 10 pieces each. The Sheet size: 5″ x 5-1/2″ (12.7 x 14 cm). Also 100 adhesive-backed sequins: 4 mm in pink. They will add a very lush touch to your projects.

So what about some samples with this suite. (straight from the Catalogue!).

Let’s have a closer look at this wreath. It is so pretty. The “leaf spray” is diecut from the patterned paper giving a really cool effect. This would make a lovely scrap page wouldn’t it??

On this card below add a piece of vellum over the stamped white card to soften the effect. Then add some diecut flowers over the piece diecut in white card.

A simple card with a cool tassel made from white twine.

If you love any of these beautiful products they are now available to order.

FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP BEST WISHES!

I think one of my new favourite bundles is the Flowers of Friendship. And to think I dismissed it several times going through the catalogue!

It is such a sweet set and I love the versatility of the punch. For this card though I have just used the stamp and coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends.

The paper strip is from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. Add a little twine and a little pearl to finish. It’s just a sweet card.
