GIFT BAG TUTORIAL | FACEBOOK LIVE

This week, I made a gift bag during my Wednesday night Facebook Live. This bag uses two sheets of Designer Series Paper plus extra for the handles (although you could always use coordinating Cardstock). The paper I used is the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which is the Product of the Month for February - more details below.  I also created a couple of quick cards. I used layouts that could be used to create a multitude of cards, great to have on hand when you need a card! I hope this project inspires you to use your Designer Series Paper! You can watch the full tutorial on my YouTube channel - just click the link below to see how it came together, step by step. I’d love to know what you think. If you give it a go, be sure to share your version with me! If you’d like the full written instructions and dimensions for these cards, make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter. You’ll also receive the latest updates, class news, and extra inspiration straight to your inbox. Cl...

BE INSPIRED | COLOUR PAIRINGS!

The Be Inspired Design Team is hopping today, and our theme this month is "Colour Pairings"! I can’t wait to see the creative ideas the rest of the team has come up with. Make sure to hop around and check out all the inspiring projects shared by this talented group. Pretty in Pink & Poppy Parade -  An Unexpected Colour Pairing That Works L ook how good these two colours go together! Pretty in Pink and Poppy Parade might not seem like an obvious pairing at first glance, but together they create a look that is bold, fresh, and surprisingly harmonious. Pink and red are often thought of as colours that clash or compete, yet they sit closely together on the colour wheel and work well together. But when you choose the right shade, these two colours complement each other beautifully.  Pretty in Pink brings a softness and lightness to the design, while Poppy Parade adds confidence, energy, and impact. The softer pink tones temper the intensity of the red, and the red grounds the ...

LOVELY & BEAUTIFUL HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD | FACEBOOK LIVE

This week’s card was made live during my Wednesday night Facebook Live.  I’ve been having so much fun combining the Lovely & Beautiful DSP , the Simply Beautiful Bundle , and the Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set for this card! For this design, I used a Z-fold layout , which gives the card a lovely, interactive element and makes it feel extra special. The soft colours in the Designer Series Paper perfectly complement the stamped and die-cut floral image, and the gold embossed accents add a touch of elegance. I love how the Z-fold allows each layer to shine — from the floral panels to the dimensional flower on top, every detail gets noticed! This card would be perfect for a birthday, a special friend, or just to brighten someone’s day. I hope this project inspires you to pull out your stamps and create something of your own. You can watch the full tutorial on my YouTube channel - just click the link below to see how it came together, step by step. I’d love to know what you think, and ...

LAYERS OF BEAUTY BIRTHDAY CARD | FACEBOOK LIVE

Hello and welcome! This is the card I created live during my Wednesday night Facebook Live. I used the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set along with the coordinating Stencils, and my new Stampin’ Positioner made it so easy to get perfect placement, even with the large stamp. In my video, you’ll also see what happens when you skip using your embossing buddy—a little lesson that might save you some crafting frustration! I hope this project inspires you to pull out your stamps and create something beautiful of your own.  You can watch the full tutorial on my YouTube channel - just click the link below to see how it came together, step by step. I’d love to know what you think, and if you give it a go, be sure to share your version with me!
