Ways to Use Your Blending Brushes with Tidings & Trimmings

Welcome Crafty Friends!  The past several days have been a whirlwind of activity and a big Saturday as we held our first ever retreat which was fabulous!  Since the event I've been bursting with creative ideas!  To see all 3 projects, be sure to watch my Video Tutorial further down in this post!  Each card features the Tidings & Trimmings Bundle and Blending Brushes!


Here's my finished card!


Flirty Flamingo for a Christmas card - why not :-)    I used my Blending Brush to swirl the ink onto Basic White, cut out the stars (Christmas Trimmings dies), then added a bit more ink around the edges of the stars.  




The stars are resting on a Tailor Made Tag, embossing using my Tasteful Textile folder, with a few sprigs from the Forever Flourishing dies.

The concensus at home was the card needed a little something - Wink of Stella to the rescue! I wish you could see how much sparkle is on this card!


I have such a love for clean & simple cards that I stopped myself at 3 for my Facebook live!

Do watch my tutorial below and let me know in the comments which card is your favourite!

Daisy Delight Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of attending a bridal shower for my nephew's finance this past weekend. There was such a wonderful glow on the face of a bride-to-be - joy, happiness, and love. They are lovley couple and I'm so happy for them and their future life together. The wedding later this month. Exciting times!

Today I'm delighted to show you the card I made for the shower. I cut the base, layer & flowers from Whisper White cardstock, then embossed the layer using my Softly Falling TIEF (textured impressions embossing folder),  This card features a sneak peek of the brand new stamp set Daisy Delight. I stamped two flower images with Melon Mambo ink, then used my new co-ordinating Daisy punch. To layer, I simply offset the flowers. For the centre of the flower I used a Clear Faceted Gem - also new for 2017-2018. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from Best Birds and used a retired punch to cut it out.  On the inside, I stamped the flower image in the bottom right corner of the stamp.

As you know, I'm a fan of clean and simple cards that have a 'WOW', and for this card, the Daisy in Melon Mambo is it!  You don't have to wait long to purchase these new products - June 1st is just around the corner!

Back to the shower for a moment...
We had a couple of challenges - I failed at both...LOL


The Guess Who Game had 20 questions.  Here's a few: Who takes longer to get ready? Who is always running late? Who keeps their car cleaner?  Of the 20 questions I got a whopping 7 correct. Ouch! The winner was the mother of the bride with 17/20 - awesome!
