Trust Me You're Lovely - Lovely You

I thought it was time I revisited this stunning bloom, before I got too excited about my new delivery of goodies. After all this was one of my fav's from the catalogue the moment I saw it.

I kept the layout very similar to the other cards I've created with this die (You can see them HERE) but instead of all the rainbows and watercolouring, this time I kept it to cardstock and three colours.

I was surprised how well the Petal Pink and the new Misty Moonlight go together. They are both dusky shades and so I think that's why they are such good friends!

I also had to use the new stamp set called Lovely You for this gorgeous sentiment and can we take a minute to say WOW to the beautiful die that the sentiment is stamped on! It's from the Tasteful Labels die set which coordinates from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. It's hard to see in the photograph, but the die actually has an embossed edge around it too. So lovely!

I also just had to use some of the new incolor enamel dots, just to finish it all off. There seriously is so much to love in this new catalogue!!

Happy Crafting,

Chlo

Social Stamping Blog Hop - Friend

Happy Saturday everyone and welcome back to another awesome blog hop with the Social Stamping gang. Today we are all about cards for friends and I love creating something for someone for no actual reason, other then just because so this was a fun theme.

My card is a little different today. It's still full of bling and glimmer, but I haven't really used any real colour. Ive gone a wee bit classy I guess.

Crumb Cake is my all time favourite colour, Stampin' Up! has ever had (very closely followed by Coastal Cabana of course) and I was shocked to realize I haven't used it for quite awhile and so I decided today was the day I used my one true love!

I just adore this Forever Blossom branch, but I often struggle colouring it in. And then I thought, why not leave it shine in all it glory just as is and of course adding some Wink of Stella is always a great idea. This card really is very shimmery.

I of course an still totally addicted to the Scripty embossing folder and had to use it again. It just gives the basic black cardstock a little bit of a whimsical feel to it. Love it!

Now it's time for you to hop off to your next blog. If you would like to start at the begining, then make sure you start with the amazing Kelly Kent, who started this whole paper adventure (do you like what I did there Kelly ;-) ),  or if you want to follow the hop and go around in a nice big circle then your next stop is the fantastic Odetta Kermode.

Either way you are going to have a fantastic time. Be prepared to be inspired!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Happy Mail Send Out - Bird Ballad

I've been busy this week, making heaps of cards and sending them out to all the people that I'm missing at the moment. I will admit I'm a complete extrovert and this isolation is really hard to swallow. A friend sent me a meme the other day that said "Check on your Extrovert friends, they are NOT ok". It's so true and it really made me giggle.

Anyway, craft always cheers me up and sending happy mail makes me happier then receiving it. Plus I decided to use the left over scraps of the Bird Ballad designer series paper, which is bound to put a smile on anyone's face.

Yes I did fussy cut out that little bird and his branch. I tried to run it though my Scan N Cut but it just couldn't find the image, so in the end I decided to cut them myself. I am someone who does enjoy a good bit of fussy cutting, so it was very therapeutic.

The checkered pattern paper behind the bird is also retired, but I do know you can still purchase our designer series paper stacks, in each colour group and in there you will find this pattern too.

I of course couldn't just make one colour card...

This time I did a Balmy Blue one and as you can see from the close up shot below, I also made one in Petal Pink too.

I really love and adore this Scripty embossing folder and if you haven't already added this folder to your collection, you really need to. It's simply perfect for every occasion.

Oh and a quick tip. If you CASE my card, don't throw the cut out circle away. I have another set of cards to share later in the week, where I've actually used that circle.

So why not send a little happy mail out. I'm sure anyone who receives a handmade card will be over the moon to know someone is thinking of them!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Feel's like Spring - Piece of Cake

Happy Monday guys, I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. It's been very cold and windy here and I'm really looking forward to Spring, which inspired my card this week.

I found this beautiful card on Pinterest by Chris Slogar. Chris had made this card design in three different colours and I just couldn't wait to make a similar card. You can see Chris's amazing cards over on her blog: Buckeye Inklings.

This is my version:

It's seriously so bright and cheerful and just makes me think of warm days, time with the family enjoying the sun. I really loved colouring the fun cake on this card. I seriously can't put my Stampin' Blends away at the moment (which I think you'll realize over the next couple of weeks!)

And can we just talk about this stunning new embossing folder!! I have all the love eyes for this one. The text is so soft and gentle but still gives the perfect amount of impact. Another item you guys NEED to order right away.

So here's to a fantastic week with lots of crafting on the horizon... hopefully!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo
