{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 Summer Wreath using Floral Essence by Artful Stampin}

So I have been on quite a journey creatively these last few months.  My love and appreciation of the versatility and unlimited creative options of stamps has grown.  I always knew that once you had a rubber stamp in your hand the choice was yours as to what colour you used and where you stamped it.  However by playing and experimenting with multiple stamps and images has opened up a whole new world to me.

This world can be yours too.  You may not have the same stamps, that doesn't matter, as long as you have images you like and enjoy looking at. By spending time with them, experimenting with different colours, repeat stamping and seeing how they look with other stamps you can find a way of expressing yourself artistically.  BE WARNED you will most probably discover new techniques and new creative addictions along the way!

This is a detailed wreath stamped on 12 x 12 Whisper White cardstock.

To see this wreath being stamped skip to 40 minutes into the video below.

Here is a speeded up version of the wreath

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Baby Wipe Technique}

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday.  We've been enjoying some lovely weather here in Mid Wales, apparently reaching record temperatures.  My children are on their half term holiday, and we're looking forward to a cinema trip today.

I've used this technique several times, and each time I use it I love it.  It does require having some of the Reinkers that Stampin' Up! sell to refresh their ink pads.

When I filmed this I wanted to get the most out of the custom ink pad I had made.  So to start off with I stamped 3 sheets of A4 , then another one.  Then... I then went on to create several more individual cards. In total I finished up with 20 cards, I did add a few drops of extra colour towards the end.

The stamp sets used are

Bloom by Bloom

Waterfront

Painted Glass

Here are the ones made from the one sheet wonders.

These are the cards I stamped, I have deliberately left the circle unstamped until I know who I'm giving this too and for what occasion. 

I loved how these designed teamed up so well with the dragonfly die cut.

Here is the video tutorial, enjoy! 

The new Spring/Summer catalogue is available now and can be viewed here

We are also in the wonderful season of Saleabration.
