Appl-icious

It's the weekend! Are you doing much? I'm recovering from a Funky Mamas disco so we will probably have quite a quiet day.

 

Today's card was the final card I created while hanging out with Julie earlier this week. We started off with a Sahara Sand base and stamped it using Early Espresso ink and my new favourite background stamp: Woodgrain.

 

Scraps of Orchard Harvest DSP were added to images of apples stamped in Lucky Limeade, More Mustard and Riding Hood Red. I'll let you into a little secret here.... I actually stamped the sentiment onto the Very Vanilla piece of card but it looked so terrible that I had to cover it up! So I stamped the words onto a scrap of Lucky Limeade card, to match the apple stems, and then punched it out using the Word Window punch. So it just goes to show, everyone makes faux pas. But to be honest I really like the unexpected addition to the design!

Have a great weekend and see you again soon!!

Shiney bright flowers

Today's card gives you a sneaky peek at another forthcoming In Color: Raspberry Ripple! Such a lush colour that you really need to see in real life to appreciate. It's gorgeous. It was recommended to me by Julie and I can't thank her enough for drawing my attention to it!

Started with a shimmery silver cardstock and then created a picture using the Perfectly Preserved stamps. Since I'm falling in love with Raspberry Ripple the main image was matted onto the colour and then finished with some rhinestones.

Again, this began as a CASE from a card on Pinterest but has morphed into something new. It was fun getting creative with the flowers in the jar as I'd not tried that before but I didn't even need to bother with a stamp-a-ma-jig as the set is so easy to use!

Come back tomorrow to see the final card I made while hanging out with Julie...

Preserved Pears

Hooray it's not long til the weekend now! Today's card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest but it's gone under a transformation to make it my own design. I started with Island Indigo base to match the Orchard Harvest DSP. Gingham is sooo fun!

This was paired (!) with pear design paper from the same set and More Mustard spotty ribbon. There were a few bits and bobs cut out using the cannery framelits and then layered up.

I made this card when the lovely Julie came to visit. We had fun creating some designs and playing with this set. Check back tomorrow for another design!
