Loads of Love for Her

Hi Everyone, I really love this set. Pink trucks and hearts! When paired with the "Loads of Love Accessories" set - they can be used for so many occasions.

This is a stepper card, with the truck adhered on the front... And - with the trees as the background, it becomes 3 dimensional.

This is the card when it is opened up.

Recipe:

Stamp Sets:- Loads of Love / Loads of Love Accessories

Ink:- Pink Passion / Elegant Eggplant / Old Olive / Handsome Hunter

Cardstock:- Elegant Eggplant / Pink Passion / Whisper White

Punches:- 1 1/4" Circle / 1 3/8" Circle / Scallop Circle / Scallop Edge

Accessories:- Blender Pens / Stamp-a-ma-Jig

Happy Stamping!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Hi Everyone, I made this card for my son, Joshua's, birthday. I have used the set Loads of Love, and stamped the truck directly onto Real Red card to get the bold colour.

The trailer is the same stamp, with the front cabin on the truck cut off.

I individually cut an assortment of the presents, and adhered them with Dimensionals, to add depth as they fly off the truck.

Recipe:

Stamp Sets:- Loads of Love / Loads of Love Accessories / Big Bold Birthday

Ink:- Basic Black / Chocolate Chip / Not Quite Navy / Ruby Red / Punpkin Pie / More Mustard / Versamark

Cardstock:- Brilliant Blue / Real Red / Whisper White

Punches:- Large Oval / Wide Oval / Scallop Edge

Accessories:- Stampin' Write Markers / Blender Pens / Dazzling Diamonds

Happy Stamping!

Live With Passion

Hi Everyone,  This stamp set is one of my favourites, and can be used in a variety of ways.

It looks great whether stamped in subtle colours (as below), or  with bold bright colours.

To colour the flowers, ink was applied directly to the rubber stamp using the Stampin' Write Markers, then blended together using daubers, before stamping on the cardstock.

I also really love the grassy background stamp in this set. Hope you like it...

Recipe:

Stamp Sets:- Inspired By Nature

Ink:- Mellow Moss / Barely Banana / Pretty in Pink / Lavender Lace / Basic Brown

Cardstock:- Whisper White / Barely Banana / Lavender Lace

Punches:- Photo Corners

Accessories:- Stampin' Write Markers / Daubers / Stamp-a-ma-Jig / Mat Pack

Happy Stamping!

"Thinking" With Pastels

Hi Everyone, Details for the Techniques Classes are almost finalised, and will be posted within the week. Today I thought I would show you another technique - "Popping Pastels". These cards are made using only the Stampin' Pastels and one ink pad - Versamark.

You can see the detail in the close-up below. This is a very simple, fun, and eye-catching technique.

Recipe:

Stamp Sets:- Tres Chic / Sincere Salutations

Ink:- Versamark / Cameo Coral / Taken With Teal

Cardstock:- Whisper White / Cameo Coral / Taken With Teal

Punches:- Scallop Edge / Corner Rounder / Boho Blossoms / 1/16" Circle
Accessories:- Pastels / Daubers / Brads / Ribbon / Dazzling Diamonds

The card below was designed by Leah, and is another using the same technique.

Even the subtle background is stamped with Versamark.

Recipe:
Stamp Sets:- Fresh Cuts
Ink:- Versamark
Cardstock:- Pretty In Pink / Certainly Celery / Chocolate Chip / Whisper White
Punches:- Scallop Edge / 1/16" Circle / Small Oval / Large Oval
Accessories:- Brads / Ribbon / Daubers / Pastels

Happy Stamping!
