Love Life

This card is made using one of the sale-a-bration sets called A Happy Thing.

I've stamped the lemon in memento ink and coloured with Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.

The sentiment is from the same set.

Just some matching Wild Wasabi card for layers and a strip of paper from the Painted Blooms DSP and an organza bow.

A couple of punches and the Darling Doily die are on this weeks Weekly Deals - don't forget to check them out!

More Bloom with Hope

Another easy card today using the stamp from Bloom with Hope again.

This image is coloured in with pumpkin pie Blendabilities and mounted on oval framelits (some using the pricking templates).

The background layer of pumpkin pie has a leaf from the same stamp set stamped all over it and on top of a layer of burlap ribbon a sentiment from the same set.

This is punched out with Modern Label punch.

All mounted on a crushed curry card base.

Never a dull moment, I better make some Christmas samples as that catalogue launches on Thursday!

Update & inspiration

If anyone has been tempted to join and not quite made it yet from 22nd to 29th August you can join for £99 but get £150 worth of goodies!!  Think how much lovely crafty stuff you can get for that.
You don't have to demo, or even buy any more - once yours you keep everything and there is no requirement to carry on if you just want to sign up for lots of stuff.

Also still running is the big shot bundle deal.  Buy a bigshot and get a stamp/framelit set worth £45-£50 for free.  If you only want the stamps/framelits you get 15% off the price of the bundle - this is worth a few pounds too!

Another quick sample card.  I was having a play with my Blendabilities and the gorgeous new hostess set called Bloom with Hope.

Card colours used are Smoky Slate, Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder.
I've also coloured the organza ribbon with the Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities and mounted the image (cut with Deco Label Framelits) on to a Lovely Lace embossed piece of card.

A Blended Bloom

I finally got my hands on the gorgeous Blended Bloom stamp - ideal for colouring with the new blendabilities.

I saw a card very like this on Teri's lovely blog so had to try it for myself.

Colours used are Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow with some Daffodil Delight highlights.

Sentiment from Hey You and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  The leaves were cut out using the Flower Fair framelits.

Even the gem got some colour from the pens too on this one and I nearly forgot to mention the background - another new embossing folder called Large Polka Dot!

Razzleberry Flowers

As promised, a card made using the new Blendabilities pens from Stampin' Up!

I've used a stamp from the Secret Garden set which has matching framelits but unfortunately it is a set that is retiring at the the of June.

I've coloured the flowers in Rich Razzleberry pens.  You get 3 pens in a set, one true colour and 2 shades of this colour to give you the shading effect.  I've used Daffodil Delight for the flower centre and Old Olive on the leaves.  I am rather taken with them - especially when everything else matches too!!

I've used the Starburst Framelits to make the card and layered with Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White.

Sentiment from Label Love, cut out with matching punch and layered on Decorative Label punch.

A teeny bit of crystal effects added to the flower centres to finish.
