Hooray for You

I was recently challenged to use the colour Pink more as it’s not a colour I reach for that often, unless it’s Magenta Madness. I took part in a team event that was based upon the Curvy Variety bundle and so used that as an opportunity to dip out of my comfort zone and used pink – in this case, Petal Pink.

A version of this card was showcased by Deb Toner using the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP), but I chose Peony Garden for my version. I love the finished outcome, especially the silver sprig focussed on the right.

Look at the detail on those dies, they emboss the leaves at the same time as cutting out the sprig. As I had used silver for the sprigs, I wanted to use the Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon but incorporate it with the pink theme. To do this, I coloured in the ribbon using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends, which I think looks amazing!

Which colour in your collection do you find is used the least? Why not challenge yourself to use it – you may be pleasantly surprised?

Best Wishes,

Birthday Party Live – Project #7

It’s the last project of the Birthday Party Live series!! It’s gone by so fast! I thought I would end the series with this cute Kawaii inspired hexagon pencil pot. And you don’t need a lot to make one! Each one turns out differently because of the random stamping technique used to decorate each of the pots.

I chose to keep these ones quite simple, with a cute flower pattern and a face. Both stamps are from the Hippo Happiness stamp set. As you can see from the photograph, the pots are a good size and fit pens / pencils, glue, stamp blocks and many other things.

The Petal Pink version in the video below was done in the same way. All three are glued together with Tombow and helps to keep things together on a craft table. My daughter has stolen the Purple Posy version from me, but I still have the Petal Pink one.

Which colour do you prefer?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Baby Elephant Congratulations

Aww, look at the baby elephant! How cute is this set? And the awesome-ness doesn’t stop there! This gorgeous elephant comes in a bundle including stamp set and punch and teamed with the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper (DSP), you have endless opportunities for baby related projects.

On this project, I let the paper lead the inspiration and the ideas flowed into this card. Both a pink and a blue one were made and both of them look absolutely gorgeous as the products co-ordinate so well.

The elephants are perfect for cards, boxes, bags, frames – the list is endless! I’m sure you would agree.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
