Kori Kumi Traveller

Hi all :) 

What another lovely summers day - finally! I've been busy working on some cards for Making Cards Magazine today so hopefully I will be able to share those with you soon. Today I am sharing a quick Kori Kumi card that I recently made for a local fundraiser event....

I love these super fun images so I decided to keep the rest of the card fairly simple. I used the Kori Kumi Decoupage & Paper Pad. I added some ribbon, a bow, enamel dots, a die cut sentiment and a die cut banner to finish.

I will be back with more creations soon :)

Beautiful Wishes

Hello :) 

A quick make from me today that was made for Hunkydory Crafts for the latest Rose Gold Stamps release by For The Love Of Stamps....

 I used the corner stamp from the Barque Backgrounds Stamp Set to create a doily type effect using brown ink onto kraft card. I then stamped the middle flower tile onto white card, cut out and popped on foam pads. I stamped the sentiment and attached it in place. I finished off the card with some pearls - simples!

I will be back soon :)

Special Day Blooms

Hi all :) 

Have you been watching the new Hunkydory Rose Gold Collection on Create & Craft today? OMG its absolutely gorgeous, maybe their best ever range! Unfortunately my team didn't get to work on it this time but I did however get to work with the new Rose Gold Stamps from For The Love Of Stamps, here is sample number one...

For this card I used the Beautiful Blooms Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers randomly onto stamping card. I then masked the flowers and stamped the leaves and stems. I then watercoloured the images with my Kuretake Clean Color Pens. I also added a light lilac wash to the background too. I then added some gems and a sentiment.

Life Is Better in Flip Flops

Hi all :) 

Sorru I haven't posted for a few days, I haven't been too well so this will be a quick post. So it's time to share one of my latest makes for PaperCrafter Magazine...this one is rather summery...

I was asked to create a summer card featuring flip flops! I used a Paper Smooches Die to create the flip flops. It's quite sweet actually as it comes with flowers etc so you can dress up and embellish the flip flops however you like. The papers are by Paper House called Paradise Found. I also used a spotty embossing folder and printed out the sentiment. I added some gems to finish.

I will be back soon :)

Watermelon Birthday

Hi all :)

I added some lace, ribbon and enamel dots. I used a Die-namics Die for the bow and fence. The banner is an old Memory Box Banner Die. The sentiment is a die cut sentiment from craft creations.
