Bliss Anniversary card

I have used the beautiful Bliss stamp set to create this beautiful Anniversary card. The base card is Blushing Bride and the DSP is Love Letter (both very appropriate, don't you think!) The black satin ribbon and rhinestone brad add some opulence to this card. The Happy Anniversary image is from the very useful Teeny Tiny Sentiments ( a sentiment for every occasion in this one!) I have stamped this on a punched out Modern label punch. I finished the card with Butterfly embosslits and my Big Shot. I made a couple of these as I really liked it - I'm sure the recipients will too! Susanne

Final Days!

Here are some projects I've been making with my FREE Sale-a-bration stamps.
Time is running out to get your hands on these stamp sets.
Both the Summer mini and the Sale-a-bration promotions finish 31st March- and we're almost half way through March already.
I love the flower image out of Punch Bunch...so versatile!
You can colour these flowers any colour with your markers and your project will look totally different each time.
I also love the Bliss set - such a gorgeous script and flourish. Great for backgrounds!
In this set I have teamed them with the beautiful Elegant Soiree DSP and Early Expresso/Kraft combination. Just gorgeous! The Expresso satin ribbon and pearls gives a rich luxurious finish to my project.
Place your order before the end of March for these.

A Special Occasion card

This card is my work from yesterday!
I love making cards for special occasions - especially when I have some time to play.
I have had this stamp set for a little while with just such an occasion in mind.
I love this ornate frame - I think I am going to play with it some more - I would like to try some bolder colouring techniques with it.
For this card, I kept the colours fairly muted as I wanted it to blend into my background.
I have added lots of bling, pearls and paper flowers to make a very girly card - love it!
The little extras are bits I WON in a card competition - gotta love that - new toys for free!
I hope this card inspires you!

Island Oasis scrapbook page

This is a scrapbook page I created of our holiday in Rockhampton last year.
I have used the Tropical Party stamp set (great for beach holiday scrapping!) and Island Oasis DSP, both from the Summer mini.
I used the colours from the DSP to create my layout.
I used the Scallop Circle die and my Big Shot to create my journalling spot.
I have also used the Butterfly embosslit and my Big Shot to create my embellishments.
This is such a cool die - it creates cute embossed butterflies in various sizes all in one go!
Hope you like it!
