Color & Contour

G’Day Friends,

No, it is not a spelling error, this is the correct name of the Bundle I am showing you today.

I do hope you all had a lovely Christmas & ready for lots of inspiration to see the year out!

December can sometimes be a hard month for some of us – the loss of loved one, family member or friend ill or even a struggling neighbour.

This is where a handmade card can do wonders to pick that person up a little just by knowing that someone is thinking about them.  In fact it can sometimes make a hugedifference without us knowing about it!  It is amazing how these cards just turn up at the right time.Today I am showcasing a card created with the Colour & Contour Bundle for just these occasions.  It will surely put a smile on someone’s face.  Mind you, you are able to chop & change the sentiments to create Birthday Cards, Thinking of You Cards, Get Well, etc.  The list is endless!

The Base Card is Fresh Freesia while the flower is Mango Melody.  The stem & leaves have been stamped in Granny Apple Green Ink.  A colour combination I would not normally go for but hey it is good to step out of your comfort zone which I am trying to do more of.

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights December

G’Day Friends,

Today I am hopping along with Kylie’s International Blog Hop for December.  This is a hop where Demonstrators from all around the world chose to take part highlighting all our lovely product.  If this is the first time visiting my blog, thank you so much for dropping by.

You are able to vote for my card Here or by clicking on the photo below.

Thank You is our theme for the hop.  Many of us don’t take the time to thank the ones we love or care about.  It can be the simple things that they do for us each day or big things that they have done recently.  It is so important to say thank you and show our appreciation for the hard work of others and the kindness that they show.

I love creating this type of card & posting them off in the mail or leaving them in my neighbours letterboxes.  Do you know of anyone you can post or give this type of card to?  I’m sure they would appreciate it.

I had the Harvest Meadows Suite from the current July-December Mini Catalogue, sitting on my desk from a past project so decided to go with it.  I seem to be using this Suite a lot but you do that sometimes when you love playing with a certain stamp set, suite, etc.

I chopped a piece of the lovely Harvest Meadow DSP into 2, adhered 1 piece to the bottom of a piece of Basic White prior to flipping the 2nd piece to the opposite side & adhering this piece to the top of the same Basic White.  It was then popped up onto a Crumb Cake Base Card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set was stamped onto Basic White in Misty Moonlight Ink, die cut with the Natures Dies before being adhered across the middle of the Card Front.

The flower was die cut from Basic White Cardstock with Natures Dies prior to adding ink with the Sponge Daubers.  Not only does it give the card a bit of a wow, it also highlights the lovely texture in the shape created from the Dies.  I’ve used Bumblebee, Mint Macaron & Crumb Cake Inks.

I finished the card off by adding Gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots along with a Bumblebee Trinket.

Don’t forget to click HERE to vote for me.  I would really apreciate it!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Nature’s Harvest

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for popping in this morning.

I’ve been playing with the Harvest Meadow Suite, Page 54 of the July-December Mini Catalogue of late.  Sometimes, it can take me a little while to start playing with a new set but when I do, I then have to keep going as I discover how much i love it.  This Suite is no exception.

In fact, this was our November Challenge over in our #WCMG.

I have just realised that it is a Monochromatic Card in that it only uses Misty Midnight & Basic White with a slight touch of Night of Navy, so all blues & white.

The flowers were stamped onto Basic White Cardstock & die cut with the Harvest Dies.  The long reeds were die cut with the same Dies but from Night of Navy Cardstock.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set along with that lovely shape.  Isn’t it just a gorgeous shape?

The Card Front is a little different in that I cut part of it away prior to adhering the panel to the front.  I am not sure what it is called but I think it suits the Sketch Layout.

The card was finished off with a couple of Silver Metallic Pearls.

Brilliant Wings

G’Day Friends,

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  It is always very much appreciated.

I created my card today for a challenge but of course, promptly forgot to post it before the challenge closed, but I thought I would share it anyhow.

I’ve just rediscovered the gorgeous & oh so rich Rainbow Glimmer Paper along with the Artistry Blooms Sequins.  Once again both items are fast turing into my favourites.

The butterfly has been die cut from the same Glimmer Paper with the Brilliant Wings Dies before being adhered to a Basic White circle.

The sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White Cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, trimmed back to size & shape prior to being adhering to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
