Irresistible Blooms Thank You Card

Happy Saturday friends. It’s a bit of of blustery day here in Melbourne but the sun is shining which makes it so much nicer.

Today, I’m featuring the Irresistible Blooms suite which is part of our Online Exclusives range. This suite includes a stamp and die bundle as well as some beautiful Designer Series Paper.

For the background, the Pretty Peacock on the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper coordinated well with the Hello, Irresistible Designer Seriees Paper. The flower was cut out from the paper itself (no colouring required!).

I added some sparkly detail with the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper. Die cutting this with the lined detail die provided a pretty accent against the flower.

Mask a Soft Background for your Cards

One of my favourite tools to use are our masks. There is so much you can do with them and they are so affordable. I just loved creating with this colour palette and chose the Artistically Inked stamp set with some new colours which gave it a fresh look.

Circle Sayings with Rays of Light Background

Don’t you love the soft colours of Colour Palette #9? It includes Lemon Lolly, a pretty yellow from our new range. I created a minimalist card to feature these pretty colours.

I’ve used the new Circle Sayings bunde and stamped the image twice in Balmy Blue and Lost Lagoon, fussy cutting part of it to layer the waves. This bundle has a range of sentiments and images which are great for creating quick cards.

The background has been created with the Rays of Light stamp set which is one I had been wanting for a while. I finally ordered it. The markings on the rays give it such a rustic look and added some white heat embossing along the edges to create a look of sea foam.

I hope you have enjoyed this creation and if you would like to play along with any of these colour palettes, just hop onto my Facebook page and add your project in the comments.

Create an Earthy Card with a Pop of Colour

Oh my, I’m in love with this colour combination. Who would have thought it would include Lemon Lime Twist? When Lemon Lime Twist made it’s debut as an In-Color some years ago, I barely used it but since it’s return as part of our core colour range I’m finding it adds that perfect punch to my cards,

Misty Moonlight is another past In-Color (which I LOVED), now returning as part of our core range and Copper Clay is part of our new 2023-2025 In-Colors. It’s so much fun to have a fresh new palette of colours to play with

I used the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and Gorgeously Made bundle to create this card in keeping with the sketch at Just Add Ink challenges #652.

This is a nice and simple sketch which can be worked with in so many ways. I flipped the sketch a bit so the circle is to the left. In place of it I added 2 sets of leaves. One set die cut from Misty Moonlight Cardstock and the other from Basic White and ink blended with Lemon Lime Twist. This added a subtle pop of colour to my earthy card.

A banner die cut from the Nested Essentials dies lays on the Gorgeously Made label which was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder for added texture. On the base I used the spiral notebook die, inked with Pecan Pie ink and lay it on a small piece of DSP which I scrunched up and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love the extra dimension this added.

I hope you have been inspired to play with some different colour palettes using our new colours.

Awow Blog Hop – Spring Blooms

Awow Blog Hop, Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop Header

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop. This month we celebrate the start of our 4th year as a group and I want to thank Angie Mckenzie who puts in so much effort to organising everything and keeping us running smoothly. I love this group and am grateful to be part of such a beautiful community.

Around the World on Wednesday Design Team Header March 2021, This is us

This month our theme is April Showers bring May flowers. Over in Melbourne we’re in Autumn so there are showers but not many flowers and it’s getting a little bit chilly.

We were given a double challenge to create something that reminds us of spring along with a technique. Didn’t matter that spring is gone, I still chose some spring colours and have followed the sketch at Sunday Stamps for my creation.

I started off by creating the 3 centre panels using the Emboss Resist technique.

EMBOSS RESIST PANEL
  • Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask, add Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana ink randomly with a Blending Brush. Use Lighter tones.
  • Stamp the 2 different leaves with Versamark ink over the entire panel
  • Add clear embossing powder
  • Melt embossing powder with Heat Tool
  • With Blending Brush, go over the entire panel in the same colours. Apply colours a little bit darker over embossed leaves.
  • Wipe back colour from embossed leaves with a paper wipe.

I used the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to die cut the 3 panels and then matte it onto Kraft Cardstock.

The card base was covered with a layer of Vellum with a subtle leafy pattern. On this, I added the 3 small emboss resist panels which had been layered onto a long die cut piece from the Irresistible Blooms dies. This was then added to an embossed panel matte with the Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper. For the strip of Textured Shimmer Paper, I used the Balmy Blue sheet and blended Coastal Cabana over it to coordinate with my colours.

The flower was stamped twice, fussy cut and layered with some heat embossed leaves and smaller Early Espresso Leaves die cut using the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies.

I had to include my favourite Linen Thread and some simple pearls to complete this spring blooms card.

Thank you for visiting me here in cool Melbourne. A full product list can be found at the bottom of this post. Please note that some of these products are on the Last Chance list and are available only while supplies last.
