BAND TOGETHER | FAB FRIDAY

Hello and welcome to my blog! This week the Fab Friday team have a Colour Challenge and here are the gorgeous colours they've put together. For my card I've used the Band Together Bundle along with Happy Birthday from the Botanical Bliss Stamp Set. As I've water-coloured, my card has taken on a very pastel look! The leaves have been cut from Shimmery White Cardstock I had coloured with a Bermuda Bay wash, the flower has been stamped in Staz-On ink, coloured with Pacific Point and Pineapple Punch, then fussy cut and the Clear Rhinestones have been coloured with the Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends. The sentiment has been stamped on a label from the Detailed Bands Dies, popped up on Dimensionals with a bow of Whisper White Baker's Twine. Make sure to pop over to the Fab Friday blog for more inspiration projects using these lovely colours. Product List Band Together Bundle [ 151076 ] $115.00 ...

I've stamped the anchor from the Sailing Home Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy and Sahara Sand on Whisper White Cardstock to create a clean and simple background. "Happy" has been die cut in Bermuda Bay Cardstock from the Well Written Dies and I've stamped "Birthday" in Bermuda Bay and embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. A ship's wheel from the Sail Away Trinkets is tied on with the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine and then unwound a little to give a frayed look! Here are four Masculine Cards I've created for my upcoming Sailing Home Classes on the 8th and 17th of August. If you'd like to come along to one of my c...

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. This month we are sharing techniques. You may have arrived here from my lovely team member Amy, if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the full line up below will guide you through all the projects. Have you tried the new Shimmery White Embossing Paste? It is gorgeous! I added drops of Pool Party Ink and used the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper as my mask. I love this effect. The Iris from the Inspiring Iris Stamp Set stamped in Night of Navy and Granny Apple Green sits perfectly on this background. I love a great font and equally great sentiments and the ones in this set are so lovely. I stamped this one in Night of Navy and fussy cut it - it's fairly easy you just need to wiggle your snips a bit so there aren't any straight lines! And as is my "MO", I added a swirl of Silver Metallic Th...
