JAR OF LOVE MEETS CRAFTING FOREVER

When I first saw the new Annual Catalogue I knew I "needed" the Crafting Forever Stamp Set. Then I noticed the fountain pen. That pen had to be matched up with a jar of ink and so it could do some writing.

To make the piece of note paper on this card, I used a small piece of Whisper White scrap and distress it. I created the distress look by using the blade of my scissors and then sponging lightly with Smoky Slate ink.

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay Card Base 29.6 x 10.5cm, scored at 14.8cm
Whisper White Black Layer 14.4 x 10cm
Basic Black Layer 13.4 x 9cm
Whisper White and Bermuda Bay Scraps

ESAD EASTERN PALACE SUITE BLOG HOP

I hope you are enjoying all the gorgeous projects in the ESAD Eastern Palace Suite Blog Hop.

We have been enough to have a suite from the new 2017-2018 Catalogue early. It is an amazing collection of a stamp set, thinlits, inks, card stock, designer series paper, stickers, and tassels. What makes this even better is that it is available to everyone as bundles right now!

You may have come from the wonderful  Ellen Woodbridge or be starting the hop here with me, Rosalie Desmond.

Recently, I have been really having some fun with this suite. I have found that it works with almost any colour scheme and the designs you can make are almost endless. So if you are looking for some versatile products, this suite is certainly worth a look. Here is a card that I would love to share with you today.

I have teamed up the lovely Specialty Designer Series paper with some  Daffodil Delight and Tranquil Tide card stock and some stamping. If you thought you just read a new colour, you are absolutely correct. Tranquil Tide is one of this years new in-colours. The gorgeous spotty piece of paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper which highlights another new in-colour, Lemon Lime Twist.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have fun and enjoy hopping around the whole hop. Next you will find the lovely, Cathy Pinchbeck.

The Eastern Palace Suite is currently available as two different types of bundles- Starter Bundle and Premier Bundle. By buying as a bundle you save money by gaining some product for free. So why not take the most of this opportunity and buy it before May 31.

SO VERY MUCH

One of my favourite things to do is to make customer thank you cards.

I made this one today with one of the background pieces I made yesterday when I was trying out spritzing. The colours of reinkers I placed in the bottle to create this were Rose Red with Crushed Curry. I then spritzed some Wink of Stella over the top.

The sentiment comes from the So Very Much stamp set which is available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration, with every order over $90AUS. This offer is only valid for 7 more days!!!

The circle decorations in the corners are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set which is  in the 2016-2017 Annual catalogue.

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH RACHEL TESSMAN

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Rachel Tessman. She is such a talented crafter. You should check out her blog. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

This is what I was inspired to create.

I used a range of colours to create my card as I wanted it to be mutil-coloured.

This is Rachel's amazing projects that inspired my card.

Rachel used the sponge daubers to create the circles, which I thought was a very simple yet very effective technique. So I used this same technique on Sheltering Tree. As a final touch I added a Tempting Turquoise heart from the enamel shapes.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop.

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,
Rosalie
