Well, hello there! I know I’ve been MIA from my blog for months – it’s been a very weird time for everyone. I hope you’ve all stayed safe and managed to keep yourselves healthy and happy. I’ve immersed myself in my garden, decorating, upcycling, baking, etc. My crafty mojo went missing along the road too but I’m BACK with renewed enthusiasm and vigour! How could I not be with such an AMAZING new release to work with?!!

I have two new floral designs in this release –Tropical Bouquet and Poppies. I love floral stamps and the never ending colour options they allow. Today I’m featuring the Tropical Bouquet set and have two cards to share:

I blended some Lemongrass Pigment ink onto my card base and then I used a make up sponge technique to add colour to the centres of the flowers and to the edges of the leaves. After die cutting my elements I assembled them into a cluster and stamped the sentiment.

I have another card to share today this time pairing the Tropical Bouquet set with a cool stamp from the Peek-a-Boo Coaster set. To me, the track from the Coaster set looks a bit like a trellis so I stamped it in green along the left edge of my card base. I then added the flowers and leaves as though they are climbing up the trellis and finished off with a sentiment.

Supplies used:

Tropical Bouquet Clear Stamps

Tropical Bouquet Elle-ments

Peek-a-Boo Coaster Clear Stamps

Lemongrass Pigment Ink

I hope these cards have added some sunshine and happiness to your day wherever you are? Your next stop on the blog hop is with my buddy Heather Campbell – have fun!!!

Hello Avery Elle friends.  Caryn here with a cute card which pairs up a few of the new Spring 2020 release products for a fun birthday card.  I started with a white card base and cut a smaller panel and adhered a strip of paper from the Spring Collection Paper pad down the centre.  I then die cut a small panel out of woodgrain cardstock onto which the elements of my card will go using the Double Pierced Rectangle die collection.  

I then stamped one of the cute dogs from the Hot Dog stamp set and coloured him with Copics and die cut the Speech Bubble and stamped Make a Wish onto it. 

I finished off by die-cutting a number 8 from the Party Numbers die set and adhered it onto my panel.

Supplies:

Speech Bubbles Clear Stamps

Speech Bubbles Elle-ments

Spring Collection Paper Pad

Double Pierced Rectangle Elle-ments

Hot Dog Clear Stamps

Hey there.  Caryn here with a look at the awesome Loads of Happy stamp set and co-ordinating dies.  I love the scale and font in this set and how the set includes the shadow die as well as the regular word die.  Instead of creating a mat with it I used it to create a negative space on the white die-cut layer on my card front and put the Happy die cut into it.  I love how this technique gives a look of depth without adding any actual thickness to the card. 

To create more dimension I die cut the word Happy twice from white cardstock, then once from red and adhered them together.  I then added some Diamond Glaze onto that for some gloss.

I haven’t played with the Hello Chum set in a while so thought this would be a good opportunity to grab one of my favourite sharks and add him to the card.

Supplies:

Loads of Happy Clear Stamps
