SNEAK PEEK

When I saw the Country Floral Lane Suite in the new Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up! it went to the top of my must-have list!  The stamp images are so pretty and definitely versatile for a variety of occasions. And there's a punch that cuts 2 sizes of hearts, plus leaves. Love patterned paper?  This suite comes with 2 different packages of paper - gingham and gorgeous patterns.  There's more - 2 rolls of ribbon - a real red & burlap ribbon combo pack, and Pastel Adhesives.  What an amazing suite!


Our monthly blog hop theme for December is a Colour Inspiration Challenge!  Some crafters find challenges like this a bit daunting.  Me, I'm delighted and I took our colour challenge to heart (pun intended) 😍


My FREE WEEKLY CLASSES take place every Tuesday at 7pm EST on Facebook.  You can watch me make the above card & another, plus get a sneak peek of the Country Floral Lane Suite in my Video Tutorial further down in this post.





These colours are sooooooooo pretty together!







A bit of a side angle so you can see how this simple fun fold works.  





I stamped off for each of the inked images to look soft and subtle!  It's one of my fave techniques because you can get different depths of colour.

With a smaller writing area than most my cards, I went simple with a few stamped hearts.  All the measurements are given during my video as well as product information.

I used the ever so lovely Cottage Rose bundle and Abigail Rose DSP from Stampin' Up! for my card.  Watch my video tutorial further down in this post for all the measurements and card details. 

Once again I've created a card that my daughter says 'Has a lot going on', and she's not wrong. 😊  It's far prettier in person than in the photo.  The tulips on the backing layer are so gorgeous on paired with Early Espresso.  The Abigail Rose patterned paper is classic and warm, with beautiful designs!


Above is the sketch I created for this hop. I love sketches because they give the person creating the card a license to interperet it in their own way! 





Do you heat emboss?  It's one of my fave things to do as it added another level of WOW to cards!  I'm also a big fan of sparkles...so I used Wink of Stella.



COTTAGE ROSE BUNDLE #159048
Timeless beauty - that's how I would describe this bundle!
The images stamp beautifully and die cut easily!




I just love this card!  I l-o-v-e the colour combo of Pool Party, Basic White & Early Espresso! The different textures give depth to the card and the bow - well, it's just plain pretty!

ABIGAIL ROSE #159037

The patterned paper has such a classic vibe, wouldn't you agree! 
It's even prettier in person!

Christmas Season | Non-Traditional Colours | Positive Inkers Blog Hop

Welcome friends and happy October!  I'm so excited to bring you an amazing Positive Inkers Global Design Team blog hop!  Our theme: Non-Traditional Colours for Christmas cards.  



I'm head over heals lovin' the Christmas Season & Christmas to Remember sets from Stampin' Up!  They make handmade cards so easy to create! Watch my YouTube video further down in this post for measurements & full card details!



What do you think of my colour combo?  Let me know in the comments!






Decisions Decisions!
So many decisions to make teehee.  I heat embossed on 5 different paper colours until I finally decided to go with my 6th choice....read on....






It might be hard to tell from the picture, but I embossed the greeting in Starry Sky! 
HOW?  Watch my video to find out just how easy it is to emboss in colours not available in embossing powders! 

Do you have the Christmas to Remember stamp set?  It's my absolute favourite for Christmas greetings!  The fonts are so pretty!  Will you be adding it to your shopping list?

Did you notice the embossing on the pinecone and holly leaves!  Awesome bit of texture from the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  

I thoroughly enjoyed making this card and I need to remember that stepping outside my comfort zone often results in a pretty card!  

What did I use to make my card? All the product info can be found at the bottom of this post.
