Minimalist Monday

Welcome to Minimalist Monday vibes - an attempt for me at mastering a clean and simple design.

Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to CAS On Friday - #332 sympathy card prompt. 

Getting inky with sneak peek of the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder, Friendly Foliage stamp set, Fragrant Layers stamp set, Wink of Stella and antique pearls. 

A simple but stunning ‘thinking of you” sympathy card.

The Wink of Stella is so pretty but hard to catch the glimmer in a photograph. LOL

Happy Stampin’

Clean & Simple Saturday

Happy Saturday today I am sharing a quick clean and simple card that requires no stamps or ink just the gorgeous paper doing all the heavy lifting! 

I’m getting “not inky” with the Lovely Blossoms DSP and the Greetings for You ephemera pack and matte dots.

I love the colour palette in this paper a pretty combo of Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink and Secret Sea. Perfect paper that has a combo of both masculine and feline vibes coexisting together which means it’s great for lots of occasions! Perfect choice for playing along with another round of AAA colourful colour themed challenges colour board #26

A quick under 5 minute card to let someone know you’re thinking of them! 

Happy Stampin’

Whimsical Wings & Things Wednesday

Welcome to another edition of Whimsical Wings & Things. 

Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to a couple challenges. Sketch layout and stamp choice came from over at Sunday Stamp Challenges - the hexagon sketch made me think of bees. 🐝 #ssc383

Bees are perfect for the yellow colour palette mood board from over at Colourful Options. 

Another round of Tic Tac Toe because well it’s a fun game! I played the left hand column with Spring bees, Black Gold twine and a hexagon embossing folder! #tttc289

I’m getting inky some ole favourites and current goodies. Bee My Valentine stamp, Bee builder punch, Greetings for All ephemera pack, Hexagon embossing folder and vellum. Daffodil Blends marker. 

Turned out so cute! I colored some of the embossed hexagon imprints to mimic the sketch inspiration, used a punched out bee 🐝 instead of the circle and added some twine behind the popped up bee for some added texture and the congratulations sentiment is from the Greetings for All ephemera pack. 

To adhere my vellum I sponged glue over the entire back so that the glue won’t show once it’s dried - I just didn’t wait long enough for it to dry before taking the photo so there is some still wet areas showing. 

Happy Stampin’
