It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but I have still been busy in the craft room!
Using the Sparkle of the Season stamp set and dies bundle, I’ve made both Christmas and Halloween cards, but the set can also be used to make cards for birthdays or other occasions.

The main image from these card haven’t used any stamps at all to create; instead the images were created by sponging colour on to a sheet of Basic White card, and then cutting out floral shapes using the Meadow dies. The images have been mounted onto a Basic Black mat, or a tag made using the Taylor Made Tags dies.
Colours used: Petal Pink, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, and So Saffron.

You can make beautiful backgrounds using Stampin Up’s water colour pencils blended with aqua painters. In this example, I’ve made a sunset over the ocean scene.

Masculine cards are often challenging , but you can’t really go wrong with Stampin Up’s Rooted in Nature stamp set.
The design for this card was inspired by a card created by Amanda Mertz.

Whilst most of my cards use stamps to create the main image, that isn’t always required. I used a colouring image of a guitar to create a template for this card, and clear embossed one of Stampin Up’s lovely Designer Series Papers to create the main body of the guitar.

This card uses one of my favourite colour combinations from Stampin Ups extensive range; Highland Heather and Mint Macaron. Just switching the sentiment on this card would make this design suitable for many different occasions.

Many of my cards are made up from different layers of coloured, printed, textured, or stamped elements, but simple single layer cards can be just as striking. This card uses a single stamp from Stampin Ups Free as a Bird set, that has been applied over a blue colour wash and coloured in with watercolour pencils.
