A bit of Love and Affection for you today

So it's Thursday already, where is this week going to!

Today's snip of creativity uses a gorgeous new stamp set called

"Love and Affection"

This set contains an array of flowers, leaves, stems and greetings too and I've struggled to put it down as I've found it so useable.  It is part of the Affectionately Yours Suite consisting of stamps, papers, ribbons, wash tape and more products that co-ordinate with each other.

My colour combo uses two new In Colours

Dapper Denim

and

Flirty Flamingo

I've used the Floral Affection Embossing Folders, these are so cute and pretty and textured too!

I'm also loving the new Floral Boutique Washi Tape and co-ordinating Solid Bakers Twine which ties lovey bows.

A really sweet and simple card that can be created in minutes and if you'd like to purchase any of the products I've used in my card, just click on the picture below to be directed to my online shop.

All Day Event - Birthday Blooms

Last Saturday I ran my first All Day crafting event of 2016, it's been a while since my last one and it was a lovely day with lovely people!

 

We created several projects throughout the day, enjoyed light refreshments and lunch and of course everyone had lots of goodies to take away with them.

 

Here is one of the projects we created, the layout of this card came from one created by a German demonstrator, Steffi Helmschrott, I just changed the stamps and colours to make it my own.

 

I included the Birthday Blooms stamp set with this class and the greeting is also part of this set, along with that cute little cluster of dots, little sprinkles, love it!

 

 

There was quite a bit of hand cutting involved throughout the day, but worth the effort, this flower is just so beautiful no matter how you stamp/colour it!

 

For this card we stamped the image in Versamark ink onto Shimmery White cardstock, then dipped into White Embossing Powder and heated.  We watercoloured with the Aqua Painters using ink from the lid of the ink pad.

 

We used Blushing Bride Ink for the watercolouring, applying more in areas to shade once it had dried

 

We used the Chalk Talk framelits dies to get the lovely decorative edge on the "Dear Friend" panel

 

The gorgeous leaves are from the Botanical Builder Framelits dies

Rose Wonder sneaky peak

I've had a lovely break over the Christmas holidays, spent some lovely time with family, had some gorgeous gifts and I'm looking forward to the New Year and the launch of the Spring/Summer Catalogue and Sale-a-bration promotion!

 

Today I'm sharing a card we will be making at one of my 6 Card Classes during January, it uses a new stamp set and thinlits die set that will be available as a bundle, meaning you save 15% when purchasing both at the same time.

 

 

My colour combo is

 

Hello Honey

Lost Lagoon

Blackberry Bliss

 

all In Colours from last year, a gorgeous combination!

 

I ran the Rose Garden thinlits die through my big shot using Whisper White cardstock and attached it to a Brick Wall embossed layer of Hello Honey.

 

The birthday greeting image is from the "Rose Wonder" stamp set, and I used the label die from the thinliets set to cut it out, adding a punched bitty butterfly in Blackberry Bliss.

 

The strip of DSP (designer series paper) is from the Sale-a-bration offering which means that if you place a £45 order during the qualifying period of 5th January to 31st March then you can choose an item for FREE from a huge selection.  This paper is called "Wildflower Fields" and there is a gorgeous stamp set that works well with it.

 

Don't forget that you can still order from the

 

 

this continues until 4th January so it's not too late!

 

Place your order online, there will be a new Hostess Code beginning New Year's Day and if you spend over £25, apply the code to your online order and I will send you a little gift in the post to say thank you for shopping with me!
