For our final day of the blog hop I have used the gorgeous new die set BUILD-A-CARD GARDEN ESCAPE.

This is a fantastic die set with so many elements and you need little else to make an effective card, so that is all I used on my project today. 




I cut my card base using the largest of the dies and then took some watercolour card to create  a background.  I used Creative Expressions Shimmer Shaker powders, sprinkled onto the wet surface, and added more water to mix. 


I decided to go for a dramatic effect by cutting all my die pieces in black, and I edged them with the Snowy White ink that comes as part of the SUMMER SHORE HYBRID INK MINI PACK.

This was such a simple and quick card to make (if you don’t count the drying time and how long it took me to clean the powders off my desk).  😜



So useful for all sorts of occasions! Trust me you NEED this gorgeous die set. 

Hop along and leave a comment so you could win!

So its day 2 of this fabulous blog hop and I have used the stunning stamp set BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS to make a very simple CAS card. 


I measured a piece of watercolour card to fit an A6 (UK)/A2 (US) card blank and
I decided to stamp the main bouquet image twice and emboss in gold.

I used my stamping platform so that the image would be in the same position in both corners. 


I used one of the sentiments that comes with the set and embossed that to.

I coloured with watercolour markers and ‘blobbed' on (not a lot of precision to be found here I'm afraid) some pearl drops to finish. 


Hop along and leave a comment so you could win!

Eeek!! Such gorgeous new goodies in THE STORE and I have a tutorial for you today showing how I made this card!



So to start I used the EYELET LACE RECTANGLE DIE SET and cut two of the tag shapes. 



I wanted to create a rose so I took the first layer for the rose from the LOVE IN BLOOM STAMP SET and positioned using my stamp platform. 



I stamped in the lightest of my chosen inks, Swimming Hole, from the COUNTRY FAIR - MINI HYBRID INK SET.

I then took the second layer of the rose and positioned it over my first layer and stamped in my next darkest ink La La Lavender (also from the COUNTRY FAIR - MINI HYBRID INK SET). 

 I then stamped the third and final layer in the same way but in Mrs Periwinkle from the SUMMER SHORE - MINI HYBRID INK SET.

(sorry forget to take a picture of that DOH!!) 

On the second tag I stamped one the sentiments from the LOVE IN BLOOM set in Mrs Periwinkle and built a flower in the same way as before but this time with the rose bud stamp; the first layer in Swimming Hole and the second in La La Lavender.


To both tags I added borders of leaves (in Key Lime Pie from the COUNTRY FAIR - MINI HYBRID INK SET ) and flowers (Mrs Periwinkle & La La Lavender) using some of the smaller stamps in the set masking off the pretty picot edges for a cleaner finish. 



I then took the sweet little butterfly and stamped twice with my RAVEN HYBRID INK PAD

I coloured them with water based markers and fussy cut, then cut the large die from the EYELET LACE RECTANGLE DIE SET from white card. 


To finish I inked all the edges, added ribbon, twine and a few drops of Glossy Accents.
 Voila!!

LDRS Creative – Holly Jolly Snowmen!


Hello everyone! Hope everything is OK with you!

I am posting on the LDRS CREATIVE INSPIRATION BLOG today with another Christmas Card. But first I must let you know that there is a CLEARANCE SALE on right now with amazing reductions on lots of yummy goodies!! You will not want to miss it!

There are some gorgeous papers in the HOLLY JOLLY HOLIDAYS 6x6 PAPER PACK and one of my faves is full of sweet snowmen, too cute to cover up. Luckily they are spaced in such a way that I was able to cut some of them out with a circle die.  I also used a smaller die to cut an area of the background as well.   


I added another couple of layers of paper across the centre and arranged my little snowmen on top in a pattern I liked.


I stamped a sentiment from the HOT CHOCOLATE set onto the smaller ‘background’ circle, added foam tape to the back of everything and popped them onto my card.


Nuvo drops were added (not too expertly I have to say) and some white gel pen and the card was done! 



Ingredients:
LDRS PRODUCTS
Stamps: HOT CHOCOLATE

THE REST  
Others: Tonic ‘Nesting Circle Dies’ - Nuvo Crystal Drops – White Gel Pen
