In this release, we are celebrating love and friendship, being on Cloud #9 with sweet new products!

There are FOUR stamp sets that are oh-so-sweet:  CLOUD NO.9 from Cre8tive Cre8tions, LOVE IN BLOOM, BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS, and HANGING OUT from our very awesome Polkadoodles line!

We also have FOUR new die sets that will help you get a professional look in no time, thanks to the LOVE LETTER LACE ENVELOPE, the FAIRY FANTASY LACE ENVELOPE, the EYELET LACE RECTANGLE and the BUILD-A-CARD GARDEN ESCAPE die sets.

Who's ready for mini hybrid inks? We are adding two sets of our very popular Hybrid inks in a mini version, perfect for ink blending, stenciling, stamping, colouring and embossing: COUNTY FAIR and SUMMER SHORE.

Lastly, because we wanted to show you how all the products come easily together, we decided to rerelease the Sincerely Yours 6x6 paperpack. It has so many fantastic patterns; give them a try!

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!!

 Hop along and leave a comment so you could win!

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

Paper: HOLLY JOLLY HOLIDAYS 6x6 PAPER PACK

Stamps: HOT CHOCOLATE

Ink: RAVEN HYBRID
