Tip for a Tuesday

Today I am sharing the Painted Wishes card kit from Stampin’ Up!

This kit is currently on the last chance list so you can grab it at a discount which makes it even better. The kit contains is perfect for new and experienced crafters alike as it contains everything you need to create 9 cards and comes with step by step directions for new crafters while experienced crafters can think outside the box and use the contents to create their own designs. 

I personally love kits for their on the go travel option with everything you need in the box - they are great to take to work and get some creative time in on your lunch break or take to the kids extra curricula activities to keep busy while the kids are doing their thing. 

This kits colour palette is so pretty with Garden Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Moody Mauve, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat.

Friday Scenic Coast Fun

Welcome to another edition of fun on Friday here on the blog. The spring weather fluctuations have been really hard on my body with the inflammation that weather changes seem to cause so I haven’t been in the craft room for way too long! Sometimes I push through pain because the joy I can from crafting can be a wonderful pain management tool however sometimes when the inflammation impedes my range of motion I just have to pause and listen to my body! 

Today’s product choice of the Scenic Coast Suite was inspired by the Card Concept #ttc227 mood board with the nautical vibes. Perfect excuse to play with this suite!

Getting inky with the Scenic Coast Suite and casing the artisan team design inspiration from Stampin’ Up! 

I just love this suite - almost makes you feel like you’re on the ocean!

Technique Tuesday - Twist on Joesph’s Coat

Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday - Twist on Joesph’s Coat technique.

Today’s card design was inspired by playing along with the AAA Colourful colour themed challenges #27 love the vibrant pops of colour! 

And over at TGIF Challenges mood board #tgif574 I was inspired by the floral greenery and a perfect inspiration to get my new Floral Spray 3D folder inky! 

I’m getting inky with the Floral Spray 3D folder, Greetings for All ephemera pack, the new hybrid Black ink and Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Summer Splash, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight. 

This twist on Joesph’s Coat is super easy:

1. Emboss your white card base 
2. Use brayer to apply black ink to the debossed side of paper
3. Colour in the white debossed areas with blends
4. Reapply black ink with brayer if desired 
5. Complete your card design

Quick process video 

Such a stunning pop of gorgeous colour in this technique!
