Yours for free with a £45 order...

Some brilliant images for the men in our life...

Watercoloured Heartfelt Blooms...

Another simply multi-coloured Heartfelt Blooms card...

Image stamped in Memento Black... Watercolor Pencils scribbled on parts of image as desired and blended out using a Blender Pen

Finished off with Berry Burst stamping of the same image on the card blank

Click here to compare with the Stampin Blends coloured version... much more clarity to my eye with that one...

Heartfelt Blooms in 3D...

Well not quite ... but quite a few layers... and when combined with the photographic effect of the Heartfelt Blooms flower... it takes on a "faux 3D" effect...

But probably not for the " I hate fussy cutting " people amongst you...

So I stamped the image in quite a few colours... Old Olive twice (so as to get 2 lots of the big leaves to add some balance), Fresh Fig, Berry Burst and Rich Razzleberry

And then fussy cut the image parts as I saw fit... at the time! Note that the image to the left of the full daisy is also a daisy... so I should have cut that out in the Rich Razzleberry too... not Berry Burst as I used here...

5 1/2" (14cm) square card... 3 1/2" (9cm) square Fresh Fig mat... and Whisper White 3 1/4" (8.5cm) square stamping panel

Greeting in Berry Burst plus Fresh Fig marker on the little words... and finished off with the Berry Burst 3/8" metallic edge ribbon...

And very hard to spot in the photo but Glitter Epoxy Shapes dewdrops added too... the perfect accent...

And remember that Heartfelt Blooms can be yours for free with a £45 order... as it is one of the Sale A Bration exclusive stamp sets...

Heartfelt Blooms in Glorious Techi-Colour... or rather Blendi-Colour!

Another simple small square card from my Heartfelt Blooms Launch event display stock... this set can be yours for free with a £45 order... available in Clear Mount and Wood Mount...

Image stamped in Memento Black... and then simply coloured over with Stampin Blends Combo duos... Old Olive, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy & Daffodil Delight...

Which reminds me... check out my 3 month Stampin Blends Club if you would like to spread the cost of a full set of Stampin Blends marker pens... with a free Stampin Blends gift from me each month... and you get some free Sale A Bration products too... Just click here... Sign up and start now for maximum benefit...

Easy to do ... as the image has dark shadow parts... for colouring in first with the Dark Stampin' Blends marker...

Followed by a bit of blending with the Light Stampin' Blends marker to further define the image...

Finished off with some white Signo gel pen dots for the centre of the back flowers (sadly retired from the Stampin' Up! range but readily available from The Craft Spa (while stocks last!) and at all good supermarkets and craft shops 

And I found a very clear 2nd daisy off to the left of the main one... didn't spot that on my first few stamp'ings...

Hap-Panda New Year to you!

Couldn't resist that title! All in the spirit of wishing you a very Happy New Year... and may 2018 be your best year yet...

So not one... but three... Sale A Bration exclusive goodies have come out to play to create this card... you know the ones ... one free with every £45 you order from 3rd January to 31st March 2018...

First up... the Party Pandas have come out to party... after all... it is what they do best...

Second up... Amazing You for the larger greetings and the firework effect behind my middle panda...

Third up... Bubbles & Fizz designer series paper to dress my card...

The card is a Swing Easel card... which has been an incredibly popular card for visitors over the past  year... You will find the 12x12 tutorial here...and the modified A4 version here... though this time I cut the top paper and stuck it on before I started all the cutting...

The Happy New Year greeting is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments ( aka Teeny Tiny Wishes in some areas of the world) and the 2018 is created using Labeler Alphabet...

And before I go for the year... don't forget...
