Beautiful Birthday
For today’s card I used a card sketch I found on Pinterest for inspiration. I cut strips of Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and trimmed the lower edge diagonally to add a little interest. I attached the strips to the top of Basic White card. I attached a strip of Night of Navy card across the panel using dimensionals. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Night of Navy card. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set (an Online Exclusive) using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks to add Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green ink to the flower. The image is cut out using the co-ordinating Layers of Beauty Die. I attached the flower to the card front using dimensionals where necessary.
To decorate the inside of the card I stamped the greeting from the Everyday Details stamp set using Night of Navy ink. I attached a piece of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the stamped panel before attaching it to the inside of the card. I love how the flower really “pops” on the Night of Navy background, don’t you?

Kenilworth
Brisbane RV’s who sell Fortitude caravans had a muster at Kenilworth which we joined and had a fabulous time. For this page I attached a piece of Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to Night of Navy card and then the left hand side of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached my photos to the top and bottom of a piece of Balmy Blue card. I cut the title from Night of Navy card using the Mini Alphabet Dies and attached it between the photos. I printed the journaling onto a strip of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I layered the title and various scrap strips of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, which have a “v” on one end behind the right hand side of the photo mat. To finish the page I attached floral bouquet from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack to the left hand side of the photo mat. A simple page but brings a smile to my face remembering this happy time.

With Sympathy
Today I am again using the Unbounded Beauty Collection. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I cut Basic White card using one of the Nested Essential Dies. I stamped the leafy image from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set onto the die cut using Shy Shamrock ink. I die cut Pretty in Pink card using the large multi flower die from the Flowers of Beauty Dies and Petunia Pop card using the small multi flower die. I curled each of the flowers and attached a Petunia Pop flower to the centre of a Pretty in Pink card.
I attached seven of these flowers to the stamped leafy image. I added a Pretty in Pink 2024-2026 In Colour Shimmer Gem to the centre of each flower. The die cut panel is attached to the embossed card front using dimensionals. I stamped “with sympathy” from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Petunia Pop ink.
I cut out the greeting using one of the Unbounded Love Dies – I did cut it twice to make the die slightly smaller. The greeting is attached across the bottom of the stamped panel using dimensionals where necessary. To decorate the inside of he card I stamped a greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Petunia Pop ink. I embossed a narrow strip of Basic White card using the same Basics 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel is attached across the bottom of the stamped card. I simply love how gorgeous this card is. Sympathy cards are usually hard to make when you need them so it’s nice to have them on hand. I would really love to know what you think of this card. Are you in love with this beautiful Unbounded Beauty Collection as much as I am?

Australia Day
2010. Such a long time ago. It makes me smile when I look at these photos because the grandies had so much fun when they were little, swimming in Nan and Pop’s pool. I used a sketch I found on the internet as the starting point for this page, bearing in mind that I wanted to use the Boho Beach Kit to create the page. I cut two pieces of Pecan Pie card and embossed them using the polka dot folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I attached the embossed panels across the top of two Basic White 12″ x 12″ pages. I attached a card base from the Boho Beach Kit to the centre of both pages. I also attached narrow strip of Lost Lagoon card across the top of the card bases and a narrow strip of Pecan Pie card across the bottom of the card bases.
For the left hand page, I attached two photos to the right hand side of the page overlapping the card base. I cut my title from Lost Lagoon card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. I wrote the date on one of the labels from the Boho Beach Kit and attached it beside the photos. I layered the seat, umbrella and two leaf images from the card kit onto the the left hand edge of the label. For the right hand page, I stamped the greeting from the stamp set included in the Boho Beach Kit onto another label from the kit using the included Pecan Pie ink. I attached the photos to the page, tucking another leaf from the kit underneath the top of the 4″ x 4″ photo. I attached the label across the bottom of the leaf image.
I love how these pages turned out and makes me think about the card kits in a very different light. What do you think? Does it make you think about the card kits for your Memory Keeping?

Merry Christmas
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I created using the Nests of Winter Suite Collection. This collection was available to Demonstrators to purchase early to attend an Online Creative event and won’t be available to customers until the release of the September to December Mini Catalogue. For this card, I attached a piece of Nests of Winters 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Blueberry Bushel card. I cut the bird image from the same Designer Series Paper and attached it to a piece of Blueberry Bushel card using dimensionals. The whole panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped “Merry Christmas” onto Basic White card using the greetings from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink. The greeting is attached across the top of the image panel.
To decorate the inside of the card I stamped the greeting from the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto Basic White card using Blueberry Bushel ink. I cut another bird from the Nests of Winter 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached it beside the greeting. I know that this Collection is going to be very popular, and even though the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set does not contain any Christmas greetings, it will be perfect for Christmas cards. So don’t forget to take a look when you get your copy of the Mini Catalogue.
