ESAD 2017 RETIREMENT LIST BLOG HOP

Times change, as do products. We are currently saying "Goodbye" to some of our old favourites, to make way for new items later in the year. It is retirement list time!

For you, this may be the time to pick up a bargain or your last chance to grab that set that has been catching your eye for some time. Don't wait until they are gone, check out the store today!

I hope you are enjoying all the gorgeous projects in the ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop. What an amazing opportunity to have a whole bunch of products highlighted for you!

Today I am sharing one of my favourite stamp sets - Nailed It!

A set for all those males in our lives, although it is also suitable for females as well. I love the images in this set. It can be used for people of all ages, children, teens and adults.

Here is a card I have made to share with you today.

For this card I have used the Nailed It stamp set. Currently, it is only available in wood mount as clear mount has SOLD OUT. So if you are loving this set as much as I do, you will need to get in quick. Once the items are gone, they are gone!

I fussy cut (hand cut) the tools on my card. As the shapes are very simple, they were quick and easy to cut.

I used the Urban Underground Speciality Designer Series Paper, which is also on the retirement list, for the background under the tools. This paper pack is so versatile as the images are not necessarily connected with tools.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop.

Avant-Garden: Sale-a-Bration

Having a play with my FREE Avant-Garden stamp set and Irresistibly Floral DSP.

I usually colour the irresistibly floral papers but this time I decide to leave it white. Due to the embossing, which is part of the papers, it provides texture without me having to do anything. This paper is perfect for the time-poor crafter.

This stamp set is so easy to use. One of the stamps in the set is a group of spots, which makes a great background and adds texture to the look of the card. I used one of the flowers in the set as the focal point.

The Avant-Gardeen stamp set is FREE during Sale-a-Bration! All you have to do is place an order of $90AUS or more during the Sale-a-Bration period and chose it as your FREE gift, only while stocks last.

Kind Butterfly - Watercolour Wings

I have been getting some great feedback lately regarding the cards I have been making using the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper. It appears that many of you have like the paper as much as I do.

Today I teamed up the Irresistibly Floral paper with the Watercolour Wings stamp set.

The four step stamping in the butterfly makes for a beautiful multi-coloured butterfly, just like the real thing. If you haven't used this stamp set before, don't stress, it is easy to use as it is photopolymer so you can see through to line up. It is also very forgiving if it is not lined up perfectly.

A number of people have asked about how I colour the paper, so I thought I would make a YouTube video to show you just how easy it is.

The card I am sharing today has been entered into two challenges.

Irresistibly Thankyou - #SIP086

Customer thank you cards. Who doesn't want something special for placing an order!

Today's card was made for a lovely lady who has just started ordering with me.

The question is, do I make her something with an item that she just ordered or do I use something else? Well, it took me about 2 seconds to come to the conclusion that she is about to make her own special projects with her order, so lets make her something pretty with something she doesn't own herself.

I used Irresistibly Floral Designer Paper and sponged the colours on to the paper. I love how easy this paper is to use.

The sentiment "THANKYOU" is from the Love Sparkles Stamp Set which is from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue. I used black memento ink and stamped on vellum, then matted with Bermuda Bay and Peek-a-boo peach.

My colour inspiration for this card is from the Stamp Ink Paper #86 colour challenge.

I hope she likes it as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by,

Pop Up Easel Card

I decided today that I would combine two blog challenges and enter again in  this week's Global Design Project colour challenge and enter the Just Add Ink challenge.

While looking through a facebook group called Stampin' Café, I came across some cards made by Jennifer Lane. Jennifer's cards inspired me to create today. Jennifer made a couple of cards using a fold called Pop Up Easel Card. She found the instructions on Debbie Henderson's YouTube video, which you can find here.

Here is what these lovely ladies inspired me to create.

The background paper was the Irresistibly Floral Speciality Paper, coloured with Daffodil Delight.
I then used the Watercolor Wings stamp set for my focal point and my sentiment, and the Perpetual Birthday Calendar for the hearts.  I popped some clear Wink of Stella on the butterfly wings to give it a touch of sparkle.

Here are the two challenges I went in today.

HAVE A IRRESISTBLY PERFECT DAY

Please note: I HAVE ENTERED THIS IN THE CRAZY CRAFTERS TEAM HIGHLIGHTS. IF YOU LIKE IT, PLEASE VOTE HERE

I am on a bit of a kick playing with the Irresistibly Floral DSP.

I used the same technique as last time. Using an Aqua Painter and reinkers. This time I played with Rose Red and Melon Mambo reinkers. I love the way we can get so many different shades of the same colour by simply added a little more water from our brush.

I then layered up a sentiment "hoping your day is perfect" from the Suite Sentiment stamp set, using Rose Red and Blushing Bride cardstock.

IRRESISTIBLY WETLANDS

Water and more water, that's the theme of this card.

I used the watercolour pencils to colour the goose image which is from the Wetlands stamp set.

For the background piece on this card I used the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper. This paper is comes white for you to either use it as such, or for you to add colour in any way you choose. In this instance I used reinkers with my Aqua Painter to create the colouring I was after.

I love how you can use this paper with whatever colours you choose.

Please note: I have entered this project in The Crazy Crafters Team Highlights. If you like it, please vote for it HERE

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT VOTED FOR MY PROJECT AT THE CRAZY CRAFTERS TEAM HIGHLIGHTS. THIS PROJECT WAS ONE OF THE TOP THREE.

Hi everyone! It's Australia Day here and I thought I would use some of my time today to join in with the Global Design Project #071 and make a 3D item!!

Yes, that's right - this weeks challenge is 3D


Here is my entry.

I love these dragonflies and they are so easy to use on the big shot.

I really like the gold with the Bermuda Bay. I am so proud as this is the first time I have cut my Serene Scenery DSP (141642). No point having double sided paper just gathering dust, it was made to share with the world.  #loveitchopit


I hope you like my project today.
