Wedding love

Once again I decided to have a play with the Pedal Pusher stamp set. Yes, I am loving this set at the moment. This time I have created a wedding or anniversary card.

I love how bold the real red and black combination is. The little hearts are just so cute, so of course I added Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to give my card some sparkle.

I finally had a play with the pedal pusher stamp set. Love it! Why did I take so long to ink it up??

It has so many cute choices to pop in the bike basket, this time I decided to use the flowers.

For Anita - #GDP027

My good friend Anita gave me some inspiration after I was saying that I was lacking creativity. She wanted a card with pink and purple stripes with aqua dots.

Well I remembered aqua as turquoise, and so this card came to life. I wanted to send her the card as a way of saying thank you for her assistance and given this weeks challenge at Global Design Project is "thank you", I thought I would share it on their challenge.

This is the card I made with her requests in mind.

The stripes were created by using washi tape to act as a mask. The spots are from "Made with love" stamp set. The sentiment is from the "Perfect Pairings" stamp set, which is available for free with every order over $90 (AUS) during 2016 Sale-a-bration. Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March, so if you like any of the Sale-a-bration items you order soon.

I want to send a huge thank you to Anita who has always stood by me and helped out whenever she can. Love you honey!

Balloons make everything better

Life doesn't always run smoothly. Cards can be used for so many different purposes. To celebrate, to send sympathy, to congratulate, to send wishes or even just to say hello. Sometimes we get caught up with big occasions that we forget that people may need a pick-me-up when things aren't going just right. Today's card is aimed at one of these moments of life.

My colours for the card centred around Crushed Curry and Basic Black. I added a few layers as I liked the look of a little crushed curry poking out between the whisper white and the basic black layer. My stampin' write markers were used to colour the balloons. Then a touch of Wink of Stella Glitter brush was added on top of the colours to add a little glimmer.

Today's card is being highlighted on Kylie Bertucci's blog. Please take the time to check out all the cards that are being highlighted this week and vote for your favourite two!

A balloon or two for you #GDP023

It has been a few weeks since I have played along with the Global Design Project, what better time to jump back in with the theme: balloons!

Today I combined two of my favourite stamp sets - Party Wishes and Botanicals for you. Hope you like it.

I have added some bling by using rhinestones and the Wink of Stella glitter brush, to add some sparkle to someone's life.


If you get a chance, make sure you check out all the other entries for this weeks challenge.

Love is...so sweet!

My inspiration for today's card comes from this week's challenge at Global Design Project.

Love!!!

Now thinking of my love and what he loves. Stampin' Up! are yet to do a Nutella stamp, so I went with icecream. Chocolate of course!

Now since icecream is so special, this called for special treatment. I put crystal effects on "LOVE" and the icecream, giving it that little pop I was looking for.

Please note: This card uses the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set from the 2016 Sale-a-bration catalogue. During Sale-a-bration (5 January - 31 March 2016) for every $90 AUD/$110 NZD you spend (before shipping and handling), you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our speical guest - Connie Stewart

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for November. This month we are focusing on Sale-a-Bration products. We hope you find great inspiration from the 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 in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup towards the bottom, will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

This month we have another guest stamper - Connie Stewart!!! I can't believe how lucky we are to have her joining us on our hope today. Thank you so much Connie for joining us today. Her designs and tutorials are such an inspiration. If you are not familiar with Connie's blog, I suggest you put it on your to-do list, once you have finished hopping. Once again a huge thank you goes out to Kylie Bertucci  for giving the Crazy Crafters this opportunity.


For today's card I have teamed up one of my favoritue stamp sets - Gorgeous Grunge, with a new Sale-a-Bration set - Botanicals for you.

Botanicals for you is available for free during sale-a-bration when you spend $90. I love this set. The sentiment is big and bold, while the floral accents contrast in size.

For this card I have only used the sentiment from Botanicals for you as I am needing a male card so I did not add the flowers but decided to grab some splotches from gorgeous grunge.

Sale-a-Bration is What I Love!

As it is Sale-a-Bration time I thought it was about time I showed you some of the amazing products that you can get for free, just by placing an order of $90 or more.

This is one of my favourite sets - What I love. There is certainly lots to love about this stamp set. Triple stamping, or layer stamping is one of the easiest ways to create a multi-coloured image.

This set not only has these really cute flowers, but also has a couple of nice sentiments to compliment it.

A special card - Just for You

I am absolutely loving these free products that are available during Sale-a-bration. This is the time of the year when I stock up on my adhesives and double check my card stock, to maximise my freebies and make the most of my money. It is during this time that we are given the opportunity to choose free products with orders over $90 and on top of that, gain extra hostess rewards!!

This card uses one of the free sets that are available in the Sale-a-bration catalogue - Botanicals For You.

I chose to emboss the sentiment in gold, to give it an extra special touch.

And many more...

Today's card uses one of the free Sale-a-bration sets - Perfect Pairing.

A stamp set with just sentiments in it is always handy, and even better when it is free. During the Stampin' Up! sale-a-bration period you can earn one free product from the sale-a-bration catalogue for every $90 you spend!

I used an Aqua painter to create a water wash background to stamp on. This is a really simple technique. All you need to do is grab some ink (the colour is up to you) with the Aqua Painter and scribble on the card stock you wish to colour. Waited a few minutes for it to dry, stamped my sentiment, then punched and placed the balloons. It is that simple!
