NEW release !!! Painted blooms card tutorial dies by Vicky Papaioannou f...

Paint your world .. I shall try card by card. Today I am sharing several beautiful cards made using a NEW collection from Spellbinders. The collection being showcased today was designed by the amazingly talented Vicky Papaioannou and the collection is called Paint your world.

My first share is this stunning tuxedo card using the Painted blooms die set.

This simple tuxedo card base is made special by the stunning dies. A beautiful detailed paintbrush decorated with greenery and hand created daisies. A true wow card. 

I have a FULL step by step tutorial on this card sharing everything from the card base to how you make the flowers. You will find the link below. I have more beautiful cards to share with you as the week unfolds.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. You can purchase the products used direct from Spellbinders by following this link https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/paint-your-world/

Intertwined heartd wedding card

Summer is approaching fast and that means ...WEDDING SEASON yayyyy!!! I am a hopeless romantic, I love weddings and pink and hearts ..so today I got in triple whammy. If I could fit a fluffy dog on there you would be getting that too. 

I know your going to love this idea and hopefully give it a try. Remember just changing the sentiment changes the occasion so birthdays, new babies ...anything. 

Using simple die cut shapes in different ways can really make cards look awesome. So have a think about what you have in your hoard / stash and look at them from time to time with fresh eyes.

I did custom cut the card sizes, it isn't a standard c6 size. This was so the design with the hearts overlapping worked. I do have a fun and quick YouTube tutorial to share how this was made.

So go grab a fresh brew, get comfy and enjoy the video.

Fun envelope pull out card, Annimal outings

Fun Animal outings envelope card

Just how much fun is this card ? An envelope pull tab birthday card... want to see how its made ?

                                      

I'm not good at naming my cards hence the long winded title. But I think I hit the nail on the head here pairing up the fab and FREEEEE Painted season DSP (now available on its own with a purchase of £45.00 or over) with the Animal Outing stamp set. These are a match made in heaven. 

As you can see here the card is single faced and slots beautifully into this decorated open ended envelope. Created on the envelope punch board, I often wonder where I would be without this amazing tool. 

So I stamped all the animals in the set, coloured and fussy cut them, a task well worth doing I may add. The sentiment on the front is from the same set and backed on the new sale a bration co-ordination punch called Story label punch which is ONLY available through march 2019. 

The card inside is created simply with card, dsp and more card, the sentiment here comes from a great set called One For All. Adding a little faux stitching and a frog on a branch ... yes a frog on a branch .... just finished it nicely. Adding the tab at the top using the circle tab punch, urges the recipient to " pull" out the contents.

I really had fun creating this card. it is a "blog exclusive" so no YouTube video, who wants to see me fussy cut and colour a kangaroo ? ... but I think the pictures give you plenty of inspiration.

I will leave the basic measurements and products used below for you. DON'T FORGET !!! leave me a comment to be in today's bog candy give away draw.

Keep calm and wag on ... happy tails.

I am a very dedicated doggy mum to two fur monsters ..I mean angels ! Our Shih tzu pair are brothers Benji and Chip they bring me a lot of joy. So obviously the second I saw the Happy tails set from Stampin' Up! I let out a little squeel ! 

This set is such fun and great for those doggie lover cards, birthday's, anniversaries or just to say hello. Indeed to send a card on behalf of your four legged family member to another.

What fun this set is with all the tiny details such as the little bones and dog house. I fussy cut these easily and the Dog image is punched easily with the co-ordinating punch.

With great sentiments to boot this set is a true winner.....

Delightfully detailed quick and easy cardmaking

I love when products make my crafting easy. The delightfully detailed laser cut DSP from Stampin' Up! is the most beautiful paper AND just using small part on a project can give a huge wow.

Another awesome product I use to make card making easy are the range of Memories and More cards from Stampin' Up! These are great for pocket scrap booking but also have a wider use such as home decor, gift packaging and most importantly card making. The cards are ready made backgrounds you can just grab and adhere to your card bases quickly and easily helping us make stunning cards. I also used the delightfully detailed ore cut and scored card bases and chose one with a stunning water colour effect which looks just like I did it myself.

The beautiful deep colour makes the very vanilla laser cut DSP really pop of the card. All that is needed extra is a cute sentiment and your card is complete. Super easy for all levels of crafters and especially if you like to create quickly with little fuss.

I hope you enjoyed this card and will give it a try for yourself. I have left the products used listed below for you to browse.

As we are in day two of my March madness gift away be sure and leave me a comment to be in today's draw for a freebie from me. I am gifting free items everyday through March 2019 so be sure and come back every day for more chances to win.

Have a fantastic weekend.
