The Emboss Resist Technique is so simple but yields such effective results. If you have not heard of this technique – you heat emboss an image and then when you add colour over it, the heat embossed image ‘resists’ the colour and the stamped image shows through while the colour is in the background.
Inspired by Susan Wong’s creation for the Global Design Project GDP404 – Case the Designer Challenge I wanted to recreate the blended circle element Susan had on her project along withe the colour palette.
I stamped the leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set inVersamark and heat embossed it in White. Then I blended a range of blue inks from lightest to darkest, over the samped images. I wiped back the colour off the leaves with a tissue which brought up the white.
For the matte layer I cut apart one of the cards from the Kraft Notecards & Envelopes pack. This pack comes with 20 notecards and envelopes plus a box to assemble which you can put the cards in once you’ve created them. It’s great for gift giving.
The card had a score line in the centre so I added some additional score lines using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
I added some leaves in Garden Green die cut from the Meadow Dies to resemble the trees in the original image. Another leaf die cut from the Kraft notecards tied the matte layer in with the focal image. You can see another card I made some years back using the Emboss Resist technique here.
I kept the rest of the card clean with a simple White heat embossed sentiment with the ‘happy’ taken from the Ringed with Nature stamp set.

My card today features the beautiful soft colours of Colour Palette #18. I have used the Inked & Tiled stamp set which has pretty botanical images with a pressed look. You can also purchase this stamp set as a bundle with a double punch pack.
To create this card I die cut 2 squares using the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the images. The flowers were inked up in Pool Party and I used the Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Marker to colour directly onto the stamp before stamping. Then I blended some Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam ink on each of the squares.
I added a sheet of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper and used the front and back of it for the top and bottom half of the card. Then I die cut a border with the same DSP and blended some Soft Sea Foam to create some shadow.
I love how the layering of the stamped images creates this beautiful look and this card comes together very quickly. The burlap ribbon (I love it so much I’m on my 3rd roll!) just creates such a natural look to tie in with a Crumb Cake base.

For Colour Palette #17 I didn’t just go with the colours I was also inspired by the photo. What else ccould I use but the Cheerful Daisies bundle? There is an entire suite in our catalogue devoted to daisies. I’ve created some pretty Bubble Bath daisies for my card. I’ve been on a bit of a Bubble Bath daisies run. Check out my last card here.
Bubble Bath is a new addition to our colour range. My first impressions was ‘meh’ as I saw it in the catalogue. It’s a whole different story playing with it and I just love it. Sometimes you need to see the cardstock, paper, ink and work with it to really see what it’s like. Bubble Bath does not disappoint this lover of all thinks soft pink.
The dies and stamps coordinate in a variety of ways so you can create daisies with 1, 2 or 3 layers. I’ve used 2 layers of daises for this card. A beautiful embossed background on white makes this daisies pop.
Until 31st July when you spend $90 you will earn you a $9 Bonus Days coupon. So, ordering the Cheerful Daisies bundle will automatically qualify you for one. There’s no limit to how many coupons you can earn so shop now and redeem them in August.

I love this combination of Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lolly and it inspired me to create this coastal card. I began with watercolouring the strip of shells on Fluid 100 cardstock. Then I fussy cut around the image to create the shell border adding some ‘sea foam’ with Embossing Paste. This is such a fun product to create beautiful texture. On top of this I added a strip of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper which I cut along the guide of the printed torn paper. This added to the textured look of the waves.
With the Rays of Light stamp set I created a two-tone background of Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock. The base layer was blended with Lemon Lolly ink for some sunshine.
The sentiment had an open centre which needed something and using the Radiating Stiches Dies I created a sun which I coloured with a Blending Brush. A few little shells were die cut from Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This gave them some lovely (and easy) shading and finished the card off well.
If you live in Australia and would like to make this card, these products are available to be purchased from my Online Store. Alternately, you can contact me and I can place the order for you.

It’s all about the Kids today at our New at SU Blog Hop. As I looked through the list of stamp sets being featured I was so excited because there is such a fantastic range of products to make projects to suit the little ones in our lives. So make sure you check out all the inspiration in our blog hop today.
I’ve chosen the Construction Zone stamp set which I ordered specifically for this blog hop. I had my eye on it and this was the perfect excuse (like I needed one!).
I went with some bright ccolours for my card. Starting with repeated stamping of the sentiment I then added the presents which were coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers.
A cement mixer coloured with Stampin’ Blends forms the focal point for this card. Smaller stamps can have big impact, such as this witch’s hat which forms a cute border along the bottom.
I think this would make a great stamp set for those kids who like Bob the Builder. With images to colour in, stamp some out for your kids or grand kids so they can have some holiday colouring fun.
Watch the video below for all the details on how to create this card.
