Something special for a sunny Spring Bank Holiday....

Happy Spring Bank holiday to all my UK followers... and aren't we lucky with this weather! I love a 2 BBQ bank holiday time!

But before I start with today's cheerful card... don't forget that today is the last day to get that extra £24 in your Demonstrator Starter Kit... ie £154 product for just £99... Click here to sign up if your list is ready... or here if you want more information first....

So today deserved something bright to celebrate the Spring Bank Holidays... and friend and fellow demonstrator Sam Carlton certainly rose to the challenge... isn't her bright and cheerful Flowers of Friendship swap card just wonderful... Though I am biased as I do love this stamp and punch bundle.... 

Sam also used a greeting from Plentiful Plants... spot that she only used part of the whole greeting... see top left for the full image... I love it when a greeting stamp can be partially used in this way... you can get so much more for your money...

Along with Stampin' Blends Combos for the flowers & matching gemstone centres in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent, Night of Navy, Polished Pink, Highland Heather with Granny Apple Green for the leaves...

Thank you Sam for your Happy Mail and for swapping with me... I love this cheery card...

Saturday Simple Swap Share & Kits coming....

The last week has seen the steady arrival of some beautiful inspirational cards through my letterbox... as our Team rallied together to make and exchange swap cards through the post ... to showcase new products and inspire each other... as well as providing a "Happy Mail" experience... which has been truly lovely! Thanks ladies...

So I thought I should share my creative friends' gorgeous creations with you over the next week or so... especially as most of these are using stamps and products that I don't own this time round... as I don't get to buy anywhere near as much as usual with not running classes... though hopefully that will revert some time soon!

But before I share more on today's simple but stunning card... check out the new Kits being released after the Bank Holiday this weekend ie next Tuesday, 1st June ... 

Lots to love... and at such great prices... More information about them on Tuesday... but suffice to say... you get everything in the box apart from the clear block to mount the stamps on... Creativity made Easy....  a lovely crafty fix... in the post!

In the meantime... here's a snapshot of them all... there really is something for everyone... 

And CLICK HERE for the Kits leaflet... I think you will be surprised at the prices! What a great way to update your greeting stamps... and ink spots... Such great value...

So back to today's card... created by the lovely Linda Ellis of Linda's Papercrafting fame... using the gorgeous Colour & Contour bundle... which I really wish I had at my disposal!! As I love "daisy type" flowers... 

Sot Succulent, Polished Pink and  Sahara Sand with Whisper White... 

Finished off with pops of Genial Gems (which are much much nicer than I thought!) A bit of safe and secure coloured glitter in a water-drop effect... 

And not forgetting the inside...

Thank you Linda... a truly stunning simple gem of a card...

Friday Five - For the Birds...

 

Love these three sweet and simple cards as they are such great examples of how you can create your own #SimpleStamping cards with just a few supplies and simple steps.

All three cards use just the one stamp set—the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set—and yet each card uses a different technique to create a unique style.

Each card features only two ink pads and one or two colours of cardstock.  The Birthday Wishes card is the simplest with just one colour of cardstock and a couple of images, all stamped on a single layer.  The Hello card uses more images, layers, and the Everyday Label Punch. Spot that the punch shape is customised to fit the sentiment a little better—all it took was a couple of snips with our trusty Paper Snips.  And lastly, the third card has some additional colour added in, which is easy to do with a set of Watercolor Pencils.

Want to see more using this stamp set... which is one I absolutely adore!! Though I guess a lot of you knew that already.... as I have shared a thing or two on birdhouses over the years! Well here you go... so now there are 5 (in case you were wondering!)
