{Purple Flowers and Unicorns}

Hi, and welcome to my blog, have you had the chance to be creative today?  If not, I hope these projects will give you some inspiration.

I'm playing catch up with various projects and videos I have created and not got round to blogging.

Here are a couple of projects that were just screaming out to be shared together as they have purple in common.  The first is a birthday card I made for my daughter.  I stamped a whole sheet of card then used just a quarter of it and mounted it onto a A5 card base (basically an A4 piece of card folded in half).  The main focal point is the unicorn from Leave a Little Sparkle, then I used various other stamps to decorate around it including Abstract Impressions, Very Versailles and Pop of Petals.

There are 2 versions of the video tutorial, here is the faster edited version

and here is the longer one, with all the mistakes I made along the way.

This second card was inspired by a friend who loves purple and butterflies.

I used Butterfly Wishes, Beautiful Friendship and the swirl from Leave a Little Sparkle.

The colours are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Purple Posy (discontinued) and Gray Granite

Here is the sped up tutorial set to music...

and here is the longer "real time" one.

{Stamping Chinese New Year decorations}

On Tuesday we had a gathering of friends at our house to celebrate Chinese New Year.   I wanted to decorate the house a little so had ordered some paper lanterns.  Then I thought it would be nice to stamp some hangings that I could keep from year to year and add to.

Taking the popular octagon shape as a base, I choose some stamps that I thought would look good together, they included; Artistically Asian, Abstract Expressions, Timeless Textures and Beautiful Promenade.

I made them "live" on YouTube.  Just wanted to share something I found out recently, you can change the setting of the speed at which you watch videos.  Click on the settings "flower" and click on speed, from there you can choose a faster running speed.

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Abstract Impressions}

Hi there, and thank you for popping over for the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, please have a look at the other blogs to get more inspiration for the gorgeous 

Garden Impressions Suite.

The suite contains lots of yummy products including this bundle and beautiful papers.

The colour combinations used in these papers are so inspirational.

Here I've created this trio of cards that can be used for all sorts of occasions.

Did you spot the new pink metallic thread? I love the stuff, and am so pleased that there are over 45 metres on a reel.

Here is the video tutorial.

While I was playing with the papers I made this mini album.  I went for a vintage feel by sponging some Early Espresso ink onto the edges.

Thanks for popping by, do have a look at what the other participants have created.
