Crazy About You and a bit of Kissing still!

Yes we still have some Kissing going on….just gives a highlight on the Sahara Sand leaves.

But these cards have been made just to demonstrate the versatility of the new Crazy About You stamp set… not only do you have some great words & greetings…but some fabulous leaves and great flowers too.

The inking of the flower was using Soft Sky with a dab of Lost Lagoon to the petal centres to add some dimension & graduated colour – proved very effective!

This flower ( in its full form) does punch out with the new Flower Medallion Punch – though I didn’t have the punch at the time so this one is hand cut… and then I didn’t stop – I just stamped a few more flowers and cut out 3 more layers from within the image… loads of dimension on this flower!

And this one is just a simple & straightforward version…. using the Thank You greeting from Cheers to Love – which just happened to still be out in my craft room…

Clean & Simple Groovy Love Wedding Card

Can’t get much simpler than this…. but everyone in the Craft Room has commented on this card – so it obviously stands out from amongst the crowd!! Less is more today….

Loving this pairing of Groovy Love and Cheers to Love. Along with the Sweetheart Punch….

Inside view – and a great way to thicken up a card blank to add to the quality feel…..

Another Wedding Double Display Card

Now this was the Wedding card I originally designed for my January classes…. but when I came to prep… my cupboard proved bare… no more 12x12 Sahara Sand cardstock …. so hence the quick new version and a Double Display card from our A4 card.

Have to point out …that this version is as the very original version … ie no Square added to the front… just worked that way with the wording I used…. I am so loving the new Big on You stamp set….

Now where are my pearls to dress this up a bit more!!

Large Square Double Display Wedding Card– and Kissing with a Twist!

Staying on my Groovy Love projects for now…. here is a card that combines a number of my current favourite products and techniques… so you will get to see more of these products/techniques over the coming weeks!

(1) Large Square Double Display card…. Say no more! Link to the 12”cardstock tutorials here. Imperial version . Metric version.
But wait… I used A4 card as I had run out of 12x12 in Sahara Sand… yes I worked out a new version to suit our A4 card……

(2) Something Lacy background stamp set… beautiful!

(3) Something Borrowed embellishments. Just gorgeous… a  real WOW to any project…

(4) Something Borrowed papers – right up my colour street!

(5) Sahara Sand, Whisper White and Lost Lagoon colour combination – yum!

And last but very definitely not least….

(6)   THE KISSING TECHNIQUE…. This was one of the first techniques I learnt when I signed up with Stampin’ Up! nearly 7 years ago! And I am happy to bring it back to my crafting space…. and I am surprised at how many people didn’t know about it….so I would like to introduce it or bring it back to yours too!!

See the &heart image in the centre… that is a perfect solid stamp for the technique – coupled with the beautiful Something Lacy stamp set… If you don’t know about the Kissing Technique – just go here for a simple explanation.

But I added a simple twist…. just highlighting some flowers in white with my trusty gel pen and colouring in the leaves with a Lost Lagoon marker pen. Suddenly it all pops…. so what shall I call it….. Kiss & Pop Technique? Highlighted Kissing Technique? Kolour Kiss? Any other suggestions welcome…
