How fabulous is the More Than Words Stamp Set with those gorgeous fonts and fun greetings. I especially adore the "because adulting is hard" sentiment.

Even more marvelous is most of the sentiments from the More Than Words Stamp Set fits perfectly into the Story Label Punch, can I get an ohhhh yeahhhh!!!  But wait, there's more...the  sentiments in the Part of My Story Stamp Set will also work with this Punch as will tons of others from the current Catalogues.

Such a versatile Stamp Set & Punch, both these exclusive items are available to purchase from 1-31 March 2019.

I adore the curvy detail the punched shape creates, so decided to use it to create a background for these little 4" x 4" note cards. Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana card bases have been used for this collection of little note cards.

The striped DSP in both the Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana versions of the card are from the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper Pack. The striped DSP on the Pineapple Punch card is from the Brights 6' x 6" DSP Pack. I have used the Triple Banner Punch to create the vellum and DSP banners. All three cards have been embellished with Gold Binder Clips, Gold Metallic Thread and Iridescent Sequins.

And for something a little different, I have another set of cards created by combining the More Than Words Stamp Set and Story Label Punch with other items from the Sale-A-Bration Promotions.

I totally adore the Toadstool imagery in the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper and it works so well with the wooden Butterfly Element embellishments. All three cards have white heat embossed sentiments and feature the punched shape created by the Story Label Punch.

The first card in this collection has stamped images that were created using the Painted Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  The scalloped stitched detail on the Whisper White card front has been made with the border die from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.

The sentiment on this card has been cut up into three before adhering to the card front with mini dimensionals. Sparkle Glimmer Paper has been punched with the Story Label Punch and fussy cut images from the Toadstool Sheet of Painted Seasons DSP have been adhered to the Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

The final card features the Wood Textures DSP, Butterfly Elements, Painted Seasons DSP, Story Label Punch with the sentiments from the More Than Words Stamp Set. The Stitched Shapes Framelits have been used to die cut the two circles of DSP either side of the sentiment.

Colour INKspiration #50

Good Day Crafty Friends,

No photo description available.

Welcome to the Colour INKspiration Challenge #50 Blog Hop. I am so excited as this is the first Colour INKspiration challenge for me in a few months and there are loads of new and awesome changes since I last hopped. New Design Team members - yipeeee! The more talented faces the merrier I say! And thanks to our very amazing DT crew member Rose, we have a new look with a gorgeous colourful banner and new watermarks. Thanks, Rose!!

This fortnight we have an absolutely gorgeous inspiration picture and colour combination for you to play along with - Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Sahara Sand and Mango Melody.

When I first glanced at these colours I was a little stumped as to what stamp set I should use as so many in my collection are floral and none were speaking to me when I browsed the shelves for some inspiration. I decided to revert to card stock which I often do when playing along with colour challenges. Panels of Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand and Mango Melody card stock have been adhered to a whisper white card front which was then adhered to a tent fold Thick Whisper White card base.

Once I had the card front sorted, I decided I would ink up a florally type stamp set after all! Today's card features the stunning Needle & Thread Stamp Set and coordinating framelit dies. I just adore the realistic embroidery images this stamp set produces and couldn't wait to get it inky again for this challenge.

The Needlepoint Elements Framelit Dies has a gorgeous embossing die, which I have used over the four coloured panels for an added bit of interest before adhering the clustered stamped elements.

The images from the Needle & Thread Stamp Set have been stamped in Coastal Cabana, Blueberry Bushel, and Mango Melody inks and adhered to the card front with mini dimensionals and foam strips. I personally think a slight variation in height of the stamped images provides added interest to this fairly clean and simple design. 

To finish the card a few Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots have been added plus a little Silver/Whisper White Bakers Twine bow just below the white heat embossed "Thank You".  Nothing too bold or distracting, just something to draw the eye to the embossed detail on the card front and the sentiment.
