Love What You Do #1

A quick, easy...and very bright... card...  to showcase the new Love What You Do stamp set in the early release Share What You Love bundles...

As well as showcasing 3 of the new 2018-20 In Colors... which you can also buy on early release with 10% discount for the set of 5 inkpads

So I have used Blueberry Bushel on the flowers to the left hand side (stamped off then stamped) ... Lovely Lipstick on the small flowers (aquapainted) and Pineapple Punch on the larger flowers to the right (stamped direct!) ...

I masked a Whisper White panel about 1 1/4" down from the top and 2" up from the bottom... stamped the flowers and leaves in Memento Black... then sponge-brayered Pool Party from the top and Lemon Lime Twist from the bottom... albeit much more heavy handed than I intended!!!

And finished off with the Love What You Do Thank You greeting in Black, Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon and Black/White Bakers Twine... all set on a Lemon Lime Twist card blank... 

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Balloons & Foil Frenzy Card

Simple panel trio card from some 1" strip Foil Frenzy paper leftovers for you today... leftovers from the sides of the die cut Window Boxes and the Gift Bag shared over the last 2 days...

Greeting and punched balloons care of Happy Birthday Gorgeous as I thought it was about time the balloons in this set took centrestage... the Hooray balloon being stamped in Archival Black which worked a treat on the shiny foiled elements of this paper...

Greeting label using the new 2 1/4" Circle Punch...  a punch that a few of you have told me you had overlooked!

Balloon strings care of the new Pool Party Bakers Twine... and finished off with the Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon again

Light, bright and ever so shiny... makes a young heart sing!

Dear Detailed Santa....

Here is Detailed Santa looking very serious reading his Dear Santa letter...

Dressed up with Pom Pom trim bobbles... hand drawn eyes,  Real Red hat, marker coloured face, Greetings From Santa letter scroll & greeting, Candy Cane Bakers Twine

And set on a Softly Falling snowy embossed background 

And (as I can!) here is the same without the add of those eyes... see what I mean about those being the perfect finishing touch... 

The Tags this year!

Well I had a wonderful project to share with you today... But the photos I took were awful! And they are all wrapped up now... so that one will have to be another day...

So instead... I will share my tags for this year...

The one Christmas make I ALWAYS forget... and end up making very last minute... in a huge rush!!

So...nothing spectacular...just quick, easy and simple...

Amazing how quick great tags tags can be made armed with a Tag Topper Punch & the Triple Banner Punch!
