Beauty Abounds - With Bloom & Grow - Sneak Peek


Today's project is this very pretty card :o) 

I used the Floral Flourish image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set to create the background. I stamped it randomly all over the Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured the images using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. 

The sentiment is from the Bloom & Grow stamp set and is one of my current favourites!


The sneak peek is the die used to create the Purple Posy panel under the sentiment. I used one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels set - this will be available from 3rd June. The set consists of 10 different sized and shaped labels dies. I think it's going to be very popular!

Stampin Friends Blog Hop - Masculine


Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! 

This month's theme is all about Masculine or My Guy projects. 

If you are following along with the Hop, you would have arrived from Jean's Blog. 

Be sure to read through my post, comment below and then continue on to Katja's Blog. 

If you get lost along the way, you can find a full list of all the participants at the end of each of their Blog Posts.

Here are the projects I created for this month's Hop ...


I used the Stitched Nested Labels dies and the Sailing Home stamp set to create a Gift Box and coordinating card.

You can find a Video below showing you how I created the Gift Box.



The Gift Box is almost 5" long, 2⅝" wide and 2" tall. I used the largest of the Stitched Nested Labels dies to create it.



The background for the front panel was created using a couple of the stamps from the Label Me Bold stamp set. The images come from the Sailing Home set.



I created the image panel for the front of my card in exactly the same way that I created the top of the Gift Box, I just cut it out using larger dies.


The paper is from the Come Sail Away Designer Series paper pack.

Here is the Video for the Gift Box ...

Piece Of Cake - Birthday


I'm still playing with the Piece Of Cake stamp set. This is retiring at the end of the month and it's one I haven't used much yet, so I'm getting some time in now before it's gone :o)

 The Delicate Lace dies are also going. I love these, but again they aren't ones I've played with that much ... I just have too much stuff! :o)


The paper used is from our (already retired) previous 2017 - 2019 In Colour 6" pack in Pineapple Punch. 

All the images were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.
