To A Classic
Today I am sharing a card I made with the He’s All That Bundle whichI am glad carried over to this Annual Catalogue. I found this card on Pinterest and decided that I wanted to try this inlaid card. I used different colours but love the finished result. I cut Night of Navy, Shaded Spruce, Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie card using the rectangle die from the All That Dies. I cut the detailed image from each of the rectangles and inlaid them to other colours.
So Night of Navy and Pecan Pie are both Neutral colours so I swapped them over. Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry are both Regal colours, so I swapped them over. The rectangles are attached to Basic White card and then scored and folded Pecan Pie card.
I stamped the greeting from the He’s All That stamp set onto Basic White card using Pecan Pie ink and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another of the greetings from the He’s All That stamp set onto Basic White card using Pecan Pie ink. I love how bright but still manly this card is and I love that new colour Pecan Pie. What about you, don’t you think its lovely?

Our Girls
Today’s page displays a photo of my two girls taken at my husbands parent’s home in Moree many years ago. I attached a piece of Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper onto a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached another piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper down the right hand side of the page and another piece horizontally across the page. I attached my photo to Basic Black card and attached it to the page so that I could slide my journalling behind the photo.
I cut the title from Basic Black card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached the letters beside the photo. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to create the three flowers on Basic White card using Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Smoky Slate ink and a blending brush. I also the used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to create three leaves using Lost Lagoon ink and a blending brush. I cut out the flowers and leaves and layered them onto the lower right hand corner of the photo. I used the retired Label Me Lovely Punch to attach to my journaling so that it could be pulled from behind the photo. I really love how this turned out, even using slightly busy papers, don’t you.

Peace on Earth
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some card ideas using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks which are in the current September to December Mini Catalogue. These masks consist of three background masks and four masks which combine to create a beautiful daisy like flower. I decided to create a Christmas Card using the floral masks from this set. I cut a piece of Basic White card using one of the dies from the Around The Bend Dies.
I stamped the greeting from the Christmas Classics stamp set onto the Basic White card using Cherry Cobbler ink. I used the leaf mask from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to add a leaf using Shaded Spruce ink. I masked the leaf and again using the mask added another leaf. I attached a piece of Joy of Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of scored and folded Cherry Cobbler card.
I attached the Basic White stamped panel across the top of the Cherry Cobbler card. I used the floral masks and Cherry Cobbler ink to create the three flowers on Basic White card. I cut out the flowers, layered them together and added them to the card front, partially covering the leaves. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped a greeting from the Very Best Occasions stamp set onto Basic White card using Cherry Cobbler ink. I attached a piece of the same pattern Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the panel. I have been having fun playing with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and hope I have inspired you to take another look at them.

Happy Anniversary
My Mum and Dad recently celebrated their 69th Wedding Anniversary. Such an amazing feat! So I had to create a special card for them and this is what I decided on. I found a card sketch on Pinterest and used it as a guide. I attached a piece of Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I embossed a panel of Basic White using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and attached it to the centre of the Designer Series Paper. I cut down the remaining piece of Designer Series Paper and attached it to the centre of the embossed card. I cut Basic White card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and stamped the greeting from the retired Celebrating You stamp set using Azure Afternoon ink.
I stamped one large and two small solid flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Bubble Bath ink. I stamped the detailed images over the top using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped two double leaf and one multi leaf images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink. I die cut the flowers and leaves using the co-ordinating Two-Tone Flora Dies. I attached the flowers and leaves to the stamped Basic White circle using dimensionals underneath the large flower and multi leaf images. I attached the Basic White circle to the card front using dimensionals.
Lastly I added several Basic Rhinestones to the flowers and the stamped circle. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the large solid flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Bubble Bath ink. I stamped the detailed image over the top using Fresh Freesia ink. I covered the flower with a mask and stamped the multi leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set twice using Lost Lagoon ink. The stamped panel is attached to the inside of the card.
I just love how soft and pretty this card is but not overly girly with the addition of blue. What do you think? So congratulations to my Mum and Dad for achieving this amazing milestone.
Bye for now,

Today I am using the Delightful Floral 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which is part of a special release of new Designer Series Paper online exclusive. These papers were released on the 6th September and are only available with stocks last. I attached a piece of Pretty Peacock card across a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut a piece of the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper and attached a strip of Blackberry Bliss card which I cut using the edge die from the Scalloped Contour Dies.
The Designer Series Paper panel is attached across the Pretty Peacock card. I cut another piece of the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper and attached my photos. The photo panel is attached to the centre of the Basic White page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and cut it out using one of the Deckled Circle Dies. I attached the journaling panel to the right hand side of the page. I cut the single flower and leaves and the bouquet of flowers from the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. I attached the single flower to the top left corner of the photo panel and the bouquet of flowers over the journaling panel. I printed the title onto Basic White card, attached it to Blackberry Bliss card and the right hand side of the page. These papers are truly gorgeous. One side is patterned with the flowers to co-ordinate with the Translucent Floral stamp set and the other side is a single watercoloured style page. If you haven’t seen these papers, check them out on the link below.

Christmas Clasics
Yesterday in my Facebook Live I shared some cards made using Christmas Classics Bundle from the September to December Mini Catalogue and today I have another one to share. I embossed Cherry Cobbler card using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card.
I cut Basic White card using the decorative banner die from the Christmas Classics Dies. I attached the die cut to the centre of the embossed Cherry Cobbler card. I cut Cherry Cobbler card using the smaller banner die from the Christmas Classics Dies. I stamped the greeting from the Christmas Classics stamp set onto the Cherry Cobbler banner using Versamark ink.
I sprinkled the greeting with White Embossing Powder and heat set it. The greeting is attached to the centre of the Basic White banner. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves from the Christmas Classics Bundle using Old Olive ink. I stamped another greeting from the Christmas Classics stamp set and the berry image using Cherry Cobbler ink. I decided that I should create another card this time using Old Olive card to emboss and stamp on.
I think they both look great and so simple to create.

Delightfully Floral Birthday
I created this card for a friend who recently celebrated her birthday. I cut three pieces of the Delightfully Floral 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to Basic White card. This Designer Series Paper is a new addition to the Online Exclusives and co-ordinates perfectly with the Translucent Florals Bundle. However, this designer series paper will only be available while stocks last. I attached the Basic White panel to scored and folded Pretty Peacock card. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of a strip of Basic White card using Pretty Peacock ink.
The stamped panel is attached across the lower part of the card front. I cut the image from one of the papers in the Delightfully Floral Designer Series Paper and attached it to the card front. I added a Basic Rhinestone to each of the flowers just to add a little bling.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped a greeting from the Something Fancy stamp set onto Basic White card using Pretty Peacock ink. I also added a strip of one of the papers from the Delightfully Floral 12″ x 12″ Designer SEries Paper across the bottom of the stamped panel.
I love how soft and pretty this card is, don’t you. Perhaps I have inspired you to check out the new Online Exclusives in my online store.

Father’s Day 2012
I found this photo taken on Father’s Day 2012 in my box on the shelf and even though the photo is a little past its best, I just had to create this page. I used the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to add Azure Afternoon ink to the top section of a piece of Azure Afternoon card. The decorated panel is attached to the centre of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut a strip of Night of Navy card and embossed it using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and attached it across the page.
I embossed a strip of Pool Party card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and attached it across the bottom of the Night of Navy card. I embossed a strip of Balmy Blue card using the splatter folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders and attached it across the bottom of the Pool Party card. I attached my photo over the top. I stamped the greeting from the So Sincere stamp set onto Basic White card using Azure Afternoon ink and punched it out using the plain heart from the now retired Heart Punch Pack. I punched Night of Navy card using the scalloped heart from the Heart Punch Pack and attached the two hearts together. The greeting is attached to the bottom right hand corner of the photo. I love how happy this page makes me feel. So lucky to have my family living so close.

Noel
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards using the Joy of Noel Bundle. This bundle is part of the Joy of Christmas collection and includes another stamp set/die bundle as well as designer series paper, gems, ribbon and specialty paper. I stamped the image from the Joy of Noel stamp set directly onto the top of Basic White card and again onto the bottom section of the card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images using Old Olive and Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends.
I attached a strip of Basic White card to Cherry Cobbler card and attached it across the stamped panel between the two images. I stamped “Noel” onto Basic White card using Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out the letters using the co-ordinating Joy of Noel Dies. I attached the letters across the Basic White panel.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped and coloured the image as before onto the left hand side of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped a greeting from the Very Best Occasions stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink. Since I loved this card so much I created another one but this time, I embossed the Basic White card using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. The two images were stamped onto Basic White card, coloured as before and cut out using the co-ordinating Joy of Noel dies. I attached the images to the card front using dimensionals. I decorated the inside of the card as for the first one.
I think they both look great, but I love the stepped up look in the second card a little more, what about you?
