I wanted to share with you today, a card that is included in my Winterly Tree Tops Mail-Out class. The combination of the images in this set with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper made it such a joy to create.
This card was perfect for this week’s TGIF #tgifc500 Let’s Tear It Up! challenge. As hard as it it to tear such gorgeous paper, the effects it creates is stunning.
The birds were coloured in Stampin’ Blends and for the background I’ve used the Painted Trees Embossing Folder which adds beautiful texture.
Create this card and 3 others using these products and calming colour combinations in this month’s Winterly Tree Tops class. While I created an all occasion card, swap the sentiment and you would have a beautiful Christmas card.

Lost Lagoon is our colour in focus for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week. This is such a beautiful colour and can switch between a blue and a green for me depending on the design. Did you know that Lost Lagoon used to be an In-Color some years ago? It came into our core colour range last year and is such a great addition.
Although my card is filled with layers, it’s very quick to put together. I used the die cuts from the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper to create my focal point.
As the base of my floral arrangement, I added the large die cut leaf the Thoughtful Wishes dies. The embossed background really makes these die cuts stand out.
My card has been inspired by this sketch at Sunday Stamps challenge .
To complete my card, I added some of the Riverside Irregular Pearls and Lost Lagoon cording from the Otterly Adorable suite.

Happy Saturday! Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge which is actually an Insta Hop with the Crafty Collaborations team. The featured colour today is Petal Pink. This is a colour that over the years has ‘grown on me’. I rather like it teamed with gold for Christmas however today I’ve gone with an all occasion card using the More than Autumn bundle.
I chose a few images to cluster together on a background embossed with the Leaf Fall embossing folder. Around the images, I lightly blended the background with Petal Pink ink.
The cocoa cup was paper-pieced with Designer Series Paper from the Flowering Zinnias DSP pack. I added some shading with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends on the top and bottom of the cup. The centre was coloured with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The cream was glittered with Wink of Stella.
I wanted to create the look of toasted marshmallows so I stamped the image in Pecan Pie ink. Then using a Blender Pen, I pulled in some of the colour into the marshamllows, which gave them a toasted colour.
I created a customised sentiment by adding the ‘best’ from another sentiment in the set. The sentiment was stamped on Basic White Cardstock and then I coloured it in with a Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. This gives a softer tone rather than stamping directly on coloured Cardstock.
I added some splatters of Petal Pink and Wink of Stella around the white space. The sentiment was staggered and who wouldn’t love to receive a take away cup that says ‘BEST’? That’s sure to lift someone’s day.
A supply list is below and these are available in my Online Store and can be purchased Australia wide.

Today I’ve got a CAS (clean and simple) card with an embossed feature using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder.
The embossed panel was die cut with a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies and layered with another circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.
My card has been inspired by sketch FMS652 at Freshly Made Sketches. I used the Snowy Scenes and Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Papers and a strip of Pool Party Cardstock to create the border at the bottom.
The trees are from A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack which comes with 3 sheets of double sided paper and 3 sheets of die cut images all ready to add to your projects.
On the base of my card, I heat embossed the snowflakes in white and then blended Pool Party ink lightly over the top for an emboss resist effect.
The sentiment was heat embossed on another die cut panel from the same pack of paper. I added a few splatters on the top right with my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with the sentiment panel. A cute bow and some Pool Party dots complete this quick make card. ;
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you.

Welcome to the weekend friends, We’re kicking off our Saturday with Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop challenge. This week we are featuring Cajun Craze which is part of our Regals collection. I love this deep, rich colour and used it in a variety of ways on my card today using the Iconic Imagery bundle.
I started with 6 pieces of the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper. These were slightly longer on one side and I arranged them evenly on an Early Espresso matte layer.
HOW TO CREATE CENTRE LABEL
Cut 1cm strips of Iconic Celebrations DSP
Adhere to Basic White Cardstock
Die cut with the label die
Emboss with Painted Texture Embossing Folder
Using a Blending Brush, go over the raised areas of the image with Early Espresso ink
Go around the outer edges of the die cut using a Blending Brush with Early Espresso and Crumb Cake ink
Die cut a label from Crumb Cake Cardstock
Cut this in half and adhere under the striped label to form a matte
I set out to use a Cajun Craze card base for my card base but found the colour a bit too deep for the look I was going for. Instead of changing my design, I decided to get creative with ink blending. By blending Petal Pink Cardstock with Cajun Craze ink, I achieved a lighter shade of Cajun Craze that perfectly complemented my card.
Once I had done this I needed another element that blended in with this tone so I die cut the large leaf from Petal Pink Cardstock and blended with Cajun Craze and Early Espresso ink. Around this I added several other stamped and die cut autumn leaves.
I cut apart the gold ribbon and added strands under the heat embossed sentiment to add a striking contrast against all the rich Cajun Craze elements.
I hopey you have enjoyed this creation and you can find a fully supply list at the bottom of this post. If you live in Australia, you can shop supplies in my Online Store or by getting in touch with me.
Have a lovely day.

I’m a bit of a Basic Gray fan as I tend to use it when I want a softer alternate to Black. For today’s Crafty Collaborations Insta Hop I went with a CAS card – Clean and Simple and used the Frosted Forest bundle to create it.
I die cut 3 rectangles from the Deckled Rectangles dies to create equal panels across the front. These were embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder – a new product available in our September-December Mini Catalogue. This is one of my must-haves as it’s so versatile. I added it to a Basic Gray panel.
Then I die cut the trees from the Frosted Forest dies. This bundle has a stamp and die set and layering stencils to create beautifully shaded trees, although I used an auxiliary die for this card.
I blended Basic Gray and Tuxedo Black on the image to create an ombre colouring. I added some splatters with a Basic Black Stampin’ Blend and as the the splatters fell, it almost looked like leaves falling off the tree.
I’ve heat embossed a sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and added some silver metallic gems to complete this simple and elegant card.
