Festive Floral Friday

Happy FriYAY! 

Today I have a festive floral card to share with you. This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest HERE and I put my own spin on it.

I decided to dust off and give some fresh inky love to Flower Power #12. I started by drawing a light pencil line down the centre of my 10.5 x 10.5cm card panel and then stamped the outline flower in Cranberry ink. I then stamped the centre flower in Poppy ink and the trio of dots into the centre of the card. 

I've had this little bow die on my die magnetic catcher for a while waiting for the perfect project to be used on. I think the die was a Neat & Tangled one from years ago...? 

I die cut the bow elements from a piece of scrap card as close a match to Cranberry ink and adhered it to my card. I added a little white heart embellishment and my sentiment from Simply Said Blocks Christmas. 

I can't wait to share a new version of this card at the end of the month with a new product. Anyway, that's all I have to share today.

Happy Christmas in July!

Hello & Happy July.

I'm sorry, not sorry! It's that time of year again for Christmas in July. This month there will be lots of festive inspiration, a few giveaways through the month and a NEW release.

Today I am kicking things off with a quick clean & simple idea to get more use out of your alphabet stamps, I used Alphabet Solid.

I started with a Poppy card panel measuring 9.5 x 13cm and I stamped the word CHRISTMAS in Cranberry ink on the left side. To be able to space evenly I started with the IST in the middle.

I then stamped and heat embossed the merry from Festive Sentiments in white embossing powder to compliment the solidness of the Christmas.

To finish the card I adhered the panel to a white card base. This card is perfect for easy mailing, always a bonus at Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by today & Crafty Hugs

A little Flashback Friday for you, hands up who remembers Background Builders Chevrons? 

Well, back in June 2013 the above was released, it was a fun building set, perfect for masculine cards like lots of the Uniko background builders. Anyway, it went into retirement and I was debating whether to bring it back and that's when this stencil idea came to me. 

And I am so glad I chose this option, I think it has so much more creative options and just look at the fun the Brand Ambassadors have had!   

That's all the product introductions, which means tomorrow is release day 🙌 All of the products will be available at 9am BST on the website and we will be back with a release day inspirational hop.
