Simple for Saturday - Making a Difference

Though I have dubbed this my Elvis card.... it's that flash of a gold jacket that does it!

Using the exclusive Host set, Begin With A Dream that you can earn for free with qualifying orders ( or by joining a Craft Spa club!). Click HERE for more details and another sample...

Image stamped in Memento Black... coloured using Stampin' Blends... mainly Basic Black...

And then a touch of Gilded Leafing flakes added... either using a Versamark pen (not SU!) and Heat & Stick Powder... or just a bit of Tombow Mono Multi Purpose Liquid Glue... just wait for the Tombow glue to dry and go tacky...

Greeting stamped in both black and red and then fussy cut into little strips...

And stamped panel ink-edged by placing each edge direct onto the ink pad...

Simple Saturday - Clean & Simple Grassy Grove

Love love love this... actually I am in product heaven...  introducing Grassy Grove...

Simple die cut in white... and then in black... slight stagger when gluing together for a shadow which gives it all a real pop!

A layer of (sadly no longer available) Ever Eden papers behind... plus a couple of die cut deer...

And you have a simply & beautifully formed card...

Greeting care of Nature's Harvest... as the wording just... seemed to fit the bill! 

Scraps on Sunday - Peaceful Place #2

 

Another card in my Peaceful Place suite class set... Love it when the scraps of one card make a quick base for another...

But before I start... an admin matter... regarding blog post notification emails not arriving... click HERE for details to rectify... or simply to subscribe to blog post notifications by email for the future....

So the die cut Stitched Rectangle aperture from this card creates the background sky...

Just add a die cut panel and a Stampin Blends coloured fussy cut house (from the Peaceful Place papers) to create a perfect little scene... Simples!

Tuesday Twofer - Sentimental Rose

Another couple of alternative cards using the Sentimental Rose stamps and inks provided in the Basic Kit...

With extra decoration on the inside too...

Same colourway - Gray Granite, Costal Cabana, Old Olive and Whisper White - just in different orientations...

Using the Gray Granite with the flower and leaf stamps to create the background makes for a stunning effect.... start with the flower and then remember to fill in the gaps with the leaf stamp... I forgot until afterwards!!! 

Simple Saturday -Sentimental Rose alternative project #3

Another quick share for you today...

They will keep giving after all...

Another simple make with another simple Daisy Lane punched floral alternative for you.... 

Floral aperture created by punching the Medium Daisy Punch in the centre of the white panel... and then re-inserting the panel into to the punch... and off to the side as far as you can go! And then repeat off to the other side...

Simple on Saturday - Daisy Lane #1

Did I tell you that I am really loving my Daisy Lane and Medium Daisy Punch... 

So this is the first of many in a series! 

Probably the simplest ... but oh so effective... especially with the perfect Perennial Essence Floral Centre to finish it off... anyone would think Stampin' Up! planned these!!!! 

Just a punch in the centre of the 7.5cm (3") white panel*... laid onto a 8cm (3 1/4") square Gray Granite mat... and onto a small square card blank (10.5cm from A4... or 4 1/4" from US Letter)

* a 7.5cm (3") white panel is perfect for locating and punching centrally... I point this out now as I changed the size of this panel to 7cm for subsequent cards so as to "save card"... but I will change back to 7.5cm for classes as it is just simpler for everyone that way... saves eyeing things up!

Greeting care of Itty Bitty Greetings...
