Whimsical Wednesday

Welcome to another edition of Whimsical Wednesday - channeling that inner child!

Today’s card share was from a recent card swap we did with the Stamp2Cr8 community - I love swaps for a chance to see product I might now have in my own collection. In this case the Silly Safari bundle. 

This Zebra from the Silly Safari set is just adorable! A lovely birthday card for a wee one! 

Happy Stampin’

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!

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

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!
