Happy Birthday Gorgeous & Calla Lillies

Good Day Crafty Friends

I got to use the new Happy Birthday Thinlits today.....Oh Wow!

It allowed for me to whip up this card in under five minutes - given the heat embossed and water coloured flower images were already done from a previous crafting session. These beautiful Calla Lillies are from the Remarkable You stamp set - one of three large floral images.

 

I have also used some of the new Fresh Florals DSP in Lemon Lime Twist (I just love this new in colour with Black) The Stitched Shaped Framelits were used to cut the oval background behind the flowers.

 

The soon to be released (June 1st) Happy Birthday Thinlit is also part of a bundle called Happy Birthday Gorgeous - although as with all Stampin' Up! bundles you can purchase each component individually but when you buy as a bundle you save 10%. I cant wait to ink up the coordinating stamp set, it has some beautiful sentiments, in a font I adore and small floral images that will provide endless variations.

 

Hope you are having a crafty day and get to make something to inspire or share with someone else x

Fresh Florals DSP - Lemon Lime Twist

Welcome Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a set of cards using my new favourite in colour for 2017-2018 and the new Fresh Floral's DSP. The Lemon Lime Twist is just delish. Its so bright and clean, I can see myself using a lot of this colour in the future.

 

The card below uses Whisper White card stock and the flower thinlit from the Sunshine Wishes bundle. I die cut the flower and put that aside and used the remaining piece to stamp the sentiment on and then attach over the DSP using dimensionals.

 

I have stamped the sentiment from Birthday Delivery in Crumb Cake and tied a small bow using some neutral Bakers Twine. Each side of the card front has been lined with a 1" strip of DSP and then attached to a Sahara Sand card base.

The next card uses a sentiment from the Watercolour Words stamp set and has been kept simple with just a white and Lemon Lime Twist colour scheme.

 

Black and Lemon Lime Twist are amazing together! The contrast is striking. The card below showcases four strips of the different prints in the DSP pack. I then added topped a Doiley, and over that a black circle with the heart die from the Love Notes Bundle backed with some Lemon Lime Twist card stock to make it pop. The sentiment is from the soon to be released Birthday Delivery stamp set. I just love the banner - there are two sentiments in this set that fit the banner, so even better!!!

 

Cant wait to team Lemon Lime Twist with other colours in the SU Rainbow! Looking forward to sharing those with you soon.

Fresh Florals DSP - Fresh Fig

 Good Day

 

I am sharing another set of quick and easy cards today. The set of four cards use the new Fresh Floral's DSP in the new Fresh Fig colour. Ohhh its a lovely deep purple tone - sooo moody!

 

I used the sentiments from the watercolour words stamp set for all four cards. Whisper White Card Stock was used for the card base. Strips of 1.5" DSP were attached from each edge before adhering middle panel. Middle panel was stamped using Fresh Fig ink and a small strip of coordinating card stock was attached behind.

The cake image on the inside is from the new Birthday Delivery stamp set (also available 1/6/2017) and was used in both the birthday cards - stamped in Fresh Fig and left uncoloured.

These four cards are part of a gift I am sending to my Mother in Law in New Zealand, so they can not be too heavily embellished as I intend on sending a total of 20 - lets hope I can get them into the tin I have decorated especially for this purpose.

Hope you have a crafty day xx

Fresh Florals DSP - Tranquil Tide

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Today's set of cards feature more of the new Fresh Florals DSP. These cards are all made using the new 2017-2019 In Colour called Tranquil Tide. Its a deep, rich colour, which I think will be great for Masculine themed cards. All these cards are simple and easy to replicate in little amount of time.

 

 

I really wanted to highlight the new Tranquil Tide colour, so predominately used Whisper White and Black card stock with the Fresh Florals DSP.

First up is a card using the die from the Up & Away Thinlits.  The sentiment is from the soon to be released Birthday Delivery stamp set - available June 1st. I love the two different fonts in one greeting. I also adore bling on the Hot Air Balloon! Any excuse to use bling is a good one!

 

The next card has a Sahara Sand base, a layer of DSP and the sentiment from the Bookcase Builder Stamp Set was inked up in Sahara Sand before the panel was run through the Big Shot using the Hexagons Embossing folder. Little flower die cut in Tranquil Tide card stock had a bow of Bakers Twine added and then a pearl embellishment.

 

For the next card, layers of DSP and Tranquil Tide card stock were given a Whisper White matt. The Succulent was made using the Oh So Succulent Dies cut from Mint Macaroon card stock and sponged on the tips with Sweet SugarPlum. I tucked in the sentiment from Blooms & Wishes stamp set under the Succulent and attached with a dimensional.

Hope I have inspired you to get into your craft room and use some of your lovely DSP's. Enjoy your day x

Fresh Florals DSP - Berry Burst

Hello crafters,

Today I'm sharing a set of cards using the new Fresh Florals DSP in Berry Burst. This DSP Pack contains 40 sheets of 12"x12" double sided papers. All 5 new In colours are included and the patterns are stunning.

 

Each card only uses 1.5" of DSP and 1" of the coordinating card stock and Whisper White.

 

I love the Hot Air Balloon! This die cut along with the flowers and hearts from Sunshine Wishes were sponged using Berry Burst ink to achieve an ombre effect.

I used the dancing lady image from the Beautiful You stamp set and paper pieced her dress using some the of Fresh Floral's Dsp.

 

All the sentiments for these cards are also from the Beautiful You stamp set. Hope you liked my creations x

Fresh Florals DSP

Good Day Crafty Friends, thanks for popping by,

The new Stampin'Up Annual Catalogue and its beautiful array of DSP will be available 1st June 2017.  There are so many stunning DSP packs with coordinating ribbons, embellishments and lots of new and exciting additions to Stampin'Up's range, I want it all!!!

A BBB (Big Brown Box) arrived yesterday and in it were my items that I was able to pre-order. It contained the new in colour 2017-2018 ink pads, card stock and the coordinating Fresh Florals DSP.

 

I have used a piece of new Fresh Floral's DSP in Powder Pink. The Flower image and sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the little flower stamped in Versamark on the Powder Pink card stock is from the Jar of Love bundle.

 

The next card uses the flip side of this DSP

Again using the Birthday Blooms flower image but this time heat embossed in gold. I used Powder Pink, Emerald Envy and Old Olive with an Aqua Painter to colour the flower. The sentiment Tickled Pink for you is from the new Fabulous Flamingo stamp set - also available 1 June 2017.

 

I will be sharing cards made with this DSP in all the new In Colours, so four more colours to go!
