This paper collection is unique because it is a collaboration between two paper houses – echo park and graphic 45.I have made quite a few cards from this paper, but this is the only one that made it to be photographed – the others all sold before the camera came out!I have layered a couple of pieces, wrapped one layer in twine, and added craftworks candii to the corners. The sentiment stamp is stampin up. I must see what i have left of this paper and make some more! til tomorrow…..

Vintage card – elements of style
If I had to pick a favourite style it would be vintage, though this one has a lot of shabby chic involved too! a big list of products used – here goes – stampin up cardstock – very vanilla, crumbcake and blushing bride. The embossing folder is stampin up lacy brocade and all the trim is also stampin up. the stamp set is Elements of style ( stampin up) and for the flower I punched out 4 circles, sprayed them with water and scrunched them up! the brad used is a stampin up vintage brad. I distressed all the edges just to add to the shabbiness! I also only coloured a couple of the flowers on the stamped image.Tea is cooking as we speak, so must be off… til tomorrow…..
Serene Sillouettes stamp set
straight away I want to say this was not my idea – I saw it on pinterest, but had to try it! I liked the idea of using my oval die to use as a stencil. I stamped the serene sillouttes stamp( Stampin Up) in versamark ink onto white cardstock, and white embossed it, die cut and oval and used what would normally be the waste to pop over the card and inked through it with green and pink inbk.The heat embossed image resisted the ink. I also heat embossed a butterfly stamp on vellum, and coloured it witgh pink ink before fussy cuuting and attaching to the card. Wrapped the whole panel with with organza ribbon.I thoroughly enjoyed doing this ione, and time permitting will experiment further with different shapes and stampoed images! Til tomorrow….
A stamped garden!
On todays card I have gathered a few stampin up ink pads and stamp sets – stippled blossoms, bliss, and vintage vogue – and stamped out a colourful garden onto some white cardstock, which I then fussy cut around and stuck to another piece of white cardstock which I had embossed with a stampin up embossing folder – lacy brocade. I added some rhinestones, and heat embossed a butterfly on vellum and cut around that too before sticking it on the front of the card.This card is a favourite, and I must try this a gain! Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up stippled blossoms stamp number 1
I thought I would show some stamped cards I made a couple of weeks ago. These two cards are made with Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms stamp set. Its a two step stamping technique. the first stamped layer is a solid stamp, and you stamp it in a lighter colour, then use the second stamp in a darker colour over the top to get a more defined image. On the left I used stampin up inks – daffodil delight and tangerine tango, and on the card on the right I used stampin up rasberry ripple and primrose petals. The leaves were done with garden green and pistachio pudding inks. I used an E K Success punch on both cards. Still struggling with this rotten cold, so it’s been a lazy day for me! Til tomorrow….
