Sentimental Park

Posted on January 27, 2023 by sharon

Today’s live is focusing on the Sentimental Park stamps and coordinating dies from the January to April Mini Catalogue. I’ve pair these with the Dandy Designs DSP that you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order of $180. This pack of designer papers contains 48 sheets of 12×12″, that’s 4 times a normal pack of Designer Series Paper.

I chose to use the Basic White Note cards and envelopes as they are quick and easy to use and are very sweet. I wanted to create some very simple cards with just stamps, ink and paper and then stepped it up with the dies.

Beautifully Happy

Posted on January 16, 2023 by sharon

Did you miss my Facebook live on Friday? I shared with you all the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set that you can earn for free with a qualifying order of $180 if you are in Australia.

I started by cutting out a circle from a piece of basic white and using that as a mask. Grabbing my blending brushes and various colours I brush some ink onto the circle. I then stamp the flowers in black ink and stamp the sentiments.

The second group of cards is again using the Beautifully Happy stamp set. Within the stamp set are stamps that colour in the image as well which makes stamping so much easier as I am not that great with colouring and making the images look real.

Below is my Facebook Live video – on my youtube channel there is also a quick video which is less than 6 minutes long which shows how I have created the cards in quick time. Which do you prefer to watch? The quick video or the real time video?

Friday Facebook Live on 21st July

Posted on August 5, 2022 by sharon

During my Friday Facebook Live on 21st July I shared two stamp sets which were the Kindest Gnomes and the Peace to You stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!

The Peace to You cards that I created were super super simple and you can make so many of these in a very short amount of time. So if you need to make many cards for Christmas then this is the stamp set to buy. On one of the cards I just used Starry Sky ink and added a rhinestone to the star. The second card was a bit more involved. I used a sponge to add some ink in two different colours onto the stamp and then stamped it on the Very Vanilla piece of card. I chose Starry Sky card to add in a layer and then mounted onto a blackberry bliss card base. Adding a rhinestone to the star again finishes it off nicely.

Peace to You

The two gnome cards using the Kindest Gnomes stamps were fairly simple as well. I was first looking at one piece of designer series paper from the Storybook Gnomes DSP but then decided to not use any patterned paper at all behind my cute gnomes. The second card with a little different. I chose the paper first and then coloured in. But this time I stamped in Starry Sky ink and pulled the ink with a blender pen for his beard and then used the watercolor pencils for the rest of him. I love how they both turned out. My colouring leaves a lot to be desired but at least everyone will know that they are handmade 🙂

Splendid Thoughts

Posted on July 4, 2022 by sharon

On my Facebook Live last Friday I shared the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and created 5 cards using the stamp set. I created a couple over basic cards to start with and then stepped them up.

I was really happy with how they turned out and you can watch the quick video below where I have sped up the card making. You can also watch the extended version here.

I show you the masking technique in a couple of the cards and this is a technique that I love using. It really is a fun way to create a card. Show me your projects that you’ve made using the masking technique.

Splendid Thoughts stamp set is in the July to December Mini Catalogue and you are just going to love love love this stamp set. All of the products that I used in the video is listed below. You can purchase all of these products from me at my online store.
