Tuesday Tip - Multicoloured Polka Dot Ribbon...

So this is a card we made at our last Monthly Training event... featuring the Bike Ride stamps and co-ordinating Build A Bike dies... along with a Happy Birthday Gorgeous greeting...

Along with a lovely colour combination using 2 new colours from our new colour palette! Balmy Blue & Grapefruit Grove meets Pear Pizzazz ... with a little Basic Black and Crumb Cake...

But I had to wait to get my card home...as I just wanted to try something before I put it all together...

So out came the Balmy Blue & Grapefruit Grove marker pens and the Light Old Olive Stampin Blend marker pen... and 5 minutes later... multi-coloured Polka Dot Tulle ribbon to match!!

And a bonus tip for you... the white would need colouring on both sides if you can see the ribbon from both sides...

Love it when a test works out positive!! And great card design too Julie...

Share What You Love... Scallop Tag Topper Concertina Card

I have been asked to do an Eighteenth Birthday Celebrations card for my next class... and we are using the Share What You Love papers... so this is what I came up with... a Scallop Tag Topper Concertina card...

Always been a favourite card format... one that always WOWs the recipient... and one that is great to do when faced with some beautiful papers!!

And before I forget... Details of my Share What You Love Kit in the Mail here... next round to be ordered towards the end of June...

And you can find the Concertina Card Tutorial here... 

But back to the card details... 

Purposefully kept simple in style... using the "simplest" of the paper patterns... and using the wonderful Letters for You alphabet stamps in Tranquil Tide... with a subtle touch of flowers inside to dress the card... though they will hate me as they will have to fussy cut these!! 

Extra internal word decorations from the  Rooted in Nature Be Strong Be Happy Be You quote... just seemed right for the occasion!

And one feature to point out... check out the ribbon... I don't have much current ribbon to use yet... so I sponged up the lovely new White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon using Tranquil Tide ink... great ribbon to have and to use in any colour!!

Rest of the front decorated using a metal silver flower centre from the Share What You Love embellishments kit... 

Onto a fussy cut flower from another of the Share What You Love paper patterns.... see top left below!

Greeting from Detailed With Love stamp set... 

Onto a Stitched Shapes circle die cut... laid on a 2" Circle Punched Tranquil Tide circle... onto a Pearlised Doily... onto a 2 1/2" Layering Circles die cut Mint Macaron circle

And finally finished off with a few more of the tiny handcut Saffron flowers to the top right...
