Bold Butterfly

I love playing with shaving cream to achieve different backgrounds for cards - and each one you make will always be different. I've made this one using Sweet Sugarplum and Crumb Cake reinkers:

I've also used  the Sweet Sugarplum reinker and coloured some texture paste. That has then been added to the card using one of the masks from the Pattern Party Decorative masks. The sentiment on this card is from Dragonfly Dreams stampset.

New Product Sneak Peak

So having a play today with some new and old products:

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Basics stampset which is carrying over into the new catalogue in June, The new stampset I have used is called Swirly Bird and comes with a corresponding die. I've also used some of the new In Colors of Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum and Dapper Denim. Want to know how I created the fancy edge on the bottom of the card? I slipped it in through the top of the largest Deco Labels Framelits Die and die-cut just one edge.

Botanical Blooms

Finally! I have had a chance to sit down and have a play with some of the new stamp sets from the Occasions Catalogue! This card is made with the Botanical Blooms stamp set (which also has a corresponding die - don't you love that!). This particular stamp set is available as a bundle which means you save 15% on the cost, In the bundle you get the Botanical Blooms stamp set, the Botanical Builder Framelits Die AND the  Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper (item no 140819 on page 26 of the Occasions Catalogue)

I have also used the Butterfly Basics and Everything Eleanor stamp sets to create the card front. Here is a list of the supplies used:

Beautiful Blackberry

I've been playing around this week with the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss colour and have made a couple of birthday cards.  The first one  uses the Perpetual Birthday Photopolymer stamp set and Blackberry Bliss & Smoky Slate inks:

I've used the watercolour paint splodge and the hearts from the Perpetual Birthday stampset to make this card. The 'happy' comes from 'Hello You' thinlets die. The sentiment comes from the 'Hooray It's Your Day' stampset. I'm going to be doing a workshop on how to make this card, so if you are interested just email me to let me know. By changing the sentiment you could use this card for practically any occasion.

The second card uses the 'Butterfly Basics' stampset set and the coordinating Butterflies Thinlets die. The patterned paper is from the 'Moonlight' Designer Series Paper stack. I have also used the starburst from Perpetual Birthday stampset as well:

I hope you enjoy these cards and don't forget - you can order from me in my online shop anytime.

If yu have landed on ths page, then you have come from the very talented Jane Riches. The Team Challenge for this round is a Sketch - this is the first time (but hopefully not last!) that I have participated in the Team Challenges. Here is the sketch we had to work with:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I have used the gorgeous Butterfly Basics stampset and coordinating Butterflies Thinlets Die from the new Occasions catalogue going live today. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this die! It was top of my list on pre-order!

I've stamped the flower image from the set on watercolour paper with Memento Black Ink and coloured with Calyspo Coral and Old Olive markers. I've also stamped with the little hexagon stamp with Crumb Cake ink to add a little interest and depth.

Next on the blog is Alison Barclay - check out what she has in store for you.
