{Stamped One Sheet Wonder collaboration with Susan Levasseur from WOW Nola Creations}

As some of you know, I have enjoyed stamping my own pretty papers for a while now. Over the last few years I have developed a lovely friendship with the super talented and delightful Susan Levasseur of Wow Nola Creations.  We both admire each other's work and are frequent visitors to each other's YouTube channels.

A few months ago I had the idea of stamping some paper for her to make some cards with, I was overjoyed when she said yes to my idea. 

I asked her for some colour scheme ideas and filmed myself stamping them and sent them to her. To our dismay about 2 months later the parcel hadn't arrived and I had to face the prospect of stamping some more.  Then thankfully a few weeks ago it arrived and I am pleased to share with you a sneak peek of Susan's card and the video of me stamping the background.

Can you see my paper peeking through?

Ingredients:

STAMPS: Blossoms in Bloom, Gorgeous Posies, Inspiring Iris and Waterfront

INK COLOURS: Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Soft Seafoam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight.

To see how I stamped it watch this short video here...

I am so excited to show you Susan's video making a card with my paper...

Please go and have a look at Susan's blog post with lots of fab pictures of the card she made {here}

{Stamped Easter Home Decor piece}

Hello there,

thanks for stopping by my blog today.

With all the changes to life brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic and then everyone in my household getting ill, the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur.  We are still unsure whether we had "the" virus, or just another one that was doing the rounds at the time.  It certainly left my husband and I feeling exhausted, however we are very much recovered and enjoying sunny weather, and very grateful for where we live.  

The children are officially on school holidays so not so much urgency to encourage them to do school work that has been set by teachers.  Easter celebrations have crept up on me as the usual reminders of seeing Eater decor in shops, lambs skipping in fields and roadsides lined with daffodils have not been there due to being quarantined.

However, last night I took a moment (about an hour) to make this Home Decor piece that is now on my mantle-piece.

It is full of the symbolism of the Biblical account of Easter, including blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots, small red hearts to remind us of the love of Christ as he bled and touches of gold and purple hinting at his kingship.

Here are the stamps and colours used 

STAMPS 

Inspiring Iris, Colorful Seasons, Varied Vases, Tropical Chic, Timeless Tulips, Beautiful Bouquet, Swirly Frames. 

INK COLOURS 

Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Highland Heather.

Here is a close up of some of the stamping.

Below is the video tutorial...

{One Sheet Wonder stamping diagonally and what I made from them}

Hi everyone, this post sharing the results of a YouTube live video which can be found here... be warned it's very long. However if you would like to hear the explanations of my thought process when stamping, you may find it useful.

Here is a faster version

Here are the results of the stamping session

Colours used: Poppy Parade, Balmy Blue, Rococco Rose, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam

Colours used: Melon Mambo, Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam

Colours used: Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue , Seaside Spray

Over the following few days I cut up the stamped sheets and created these cards.

 

I then did two more YouTube lives where I showed how I cut up the sheet and matting layers.  Again they're both quite long videos, but worth watching if you would like the details.

Here is how I cut up this sheet

and here are the matting layers with lots of rectangles cut out of them.. yes I'm that frugal!

And here are the cards

Well, if you're reached the end of this blog post you deserve a medal!

Thank you for sticking with me, I hope it's inspired you to get your stamps out and play!

{One Sheet Wonder - Lots of Florals}

Hi everyone,

I hope you're enjoying the summer holidays.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to film and edit videos and blog as much, so I've been going "live" on YouTube to do some stamping.  Here are the results of a session of stamping with floral stamps.

Here is the LIVE video, be warned it is quite long...

and here is a shorter sped up version.

After I created the sheets I cut them up to make these bookmarks.

{One sheet wonder Beautiful Friendship- 1 sheet 4 cards}

Have you ever heard the phrase... 'Sorry, not sorry'?

I'm afraid it applies to this weeks One Sheet Wonder.

It's using this stamp set... again!

Sorry if you've had enough of it now, however I hope it inspires you and shows how versatile it is.

I met up with a friend for lunch at a local garden centre this week, we were able to look around their gardens, and loved looking at and smelling some beautiful roses.  Can't help but share them with you now.

   

Aren't they beautiful?

Here is the video...

Here are the photos.
