A traditional vintage Christmas card using the Dashing Deer Bundle (149935).
This card focuses on the distressing technique. By gently inking the edges and blending the area you can create an old faded feel. Taring the card stock is another simple way of adding a distressed look to your design and texture to your card.
The designer series paper has those lovely traditional reds and greens, along with thin strips of Night of Navy. I have used this colour for the main image and sentiment to tie in with the designer series paper. This make them stand yet does not look out of place.
Check out the tutorial below...

Creepy Crafts Halloween Series #6 ~ Chequered Pumpkin Card

Project #6 is a super fun 'distressed' card featuring the Toil & Trouble designer series paper (147531) and the Buffalo Check background stamp (147794).
Inspired by and cased from Joy Stampin.

Loving the rustic look this background stamps gives. It is currently my favourite background stamp and so versatile! You can stamp in any colour making it super cute for backgrounds in baby cards, male cards, and Christmas cards. Add lines with a marker to turn this into a tartan, and if you want a cleaner check look stamp a couple of times using your Stamparatus. For me this is a must have background stamp!

I love the rustic, distressed feel of this card. It would make the perfect Autumn/Fall card by changing the black for brown and orange tones.

What you will need:
Basic Black Card Stock (146991) - 3 5/8" x 2 5/8"
Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

Creepy Crafts Halloween Series #3 ~ Spooky Owl Card

Welcome to project #3 in my Creepy Crafts Halloween Series!

Today I have a spooky owl card for you that uses masking and blending techniques to create this fun colourful background, on what is mostly a black and white card.

I have used the wonderful Still Night stamp set (147670) for my focal image, which was carefully masked off too blend the background. I'm not going lie, fussy cutting those branches was not easy, but what a lovely effect it has created! Well worth it, I just love it.
The longest part of this card is the fussy cutting of masks and taking the mask carefully off. Other than that, it is so simple to put together. If Masking is something you would rather not do, you could stamp and die cut the images separate and lay them over your blended circle background. It would give a similar effect.
For the sentiment I used letters from the Pick A Pennant stamp set (146499) - a super handy stamp set if you can not find the right type of sentiment stamp!
Check out the tutorial below on how I used masking and blending for this fun spooky owl card. Grab a cuppa as its a little longer than my usual videos.

What you will need:
Thick Whisper White Card Stock (140490) - C6 card base
Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 3 7/8"x 5 1/2"
- 1/2" x 4 1/8"
Basic Black Card Stock (146991) - 4" x 5 5/8"
Black Foil Sheets (147898) - 5 3/4" x 4 1/8"

Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262)
Layering Circle Framelits (141705)
Glossy Accents
White Gel Pen - (from Paperchase)
Masking Tape

Birthday Hamper

Perfect gift idea for when your friend deserves to be pampered for their birthday...

I put together this pamper hamper for my good friend for her birthday. Packaged using the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set (145519) in Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Daffodill Delight. The colour combination is bright and fun, but you could tailor this for anyone and any occasion.

I simply created an open top box to hold all the items and decorated the sides. Placed this in a large cello bag and finnished it off with ribbon and a matching tag. These where made to coordinate with the card, which I made first.

This Pamper Hamper included:

Box of cadburys dairy milk chocolates

Small bottle of proccecco

Relaxation Face mask

Cucumber Eye pads

Foot Spa mask

Hand mask

Scented candle

Lavender bath bomb

Its a super nice way to package a gift like this and does not take too long to make. Have a hunt through your stamp sets, maybe try floral for mothers day, put together a Christmas hamper or themed hamper. These could be movie themed with a DVD, pop corn, chocolates... Or even a tackle hamper for a fishing fan. The possibilities are endless!

Birthday Corner Card

I have Birthday cards on the brain at the moment, with so many family birthdays coming up I can not stop creating them. Of course with everyone having a birthday, every year, Birthday cards are the number one reason to send and gift cards. When your cards are handmade sometimes you just want something simple and sometimes you have limited time to craft, so just need something that can be made quickly.
This is a quick and simple make with a few layers, a fab sentiment and finished off with a drop of Wink of Stella. Featuring the Around The Corner Stamp Set (147464) and the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set (145519).

What you will need:

Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 2" x 2"

Wink of Stella (141897)
Simply Scored Scoring Board (122334)

1) Cut your base at 4" x 8". Score and fold in half to make your 4" x 4" card base.
2) Gently score 3 lines on the left and bottom of your DSP to create an embossed pattern effect, Don't forget to score with your chosen paper face down so that your lines will be raised when the right way up.
3) Stamp your 3 candles on the smaller piece of Whisper White and mount this on old olive. Stamp your corner sentiment in the bottom left hand corner of your card base.
4) Use your choice of adhesive to glue down the DSP onto the card base in the top right hand corner.
5) Pop your candle panel up with dimensionals and place down on to the DSP leaving a nice boarder.
6) To finish off this card stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card and add some Wink Of Stella to candles.

So that is our card for today. Super simple and quick to make if in a hurry. This card could be made in a variety of colours to suite all, and would also make a perfect base for a party invite!

Birthday Arrow Card

Today I have for you a quick and simple card using the fabulous Around The Corner Stamp Set. I love how fun and simple this card is, and its a suitable size to use as a money wallet!

I always love trying to use stamps in a different way, particularly love the look of a word/sentiment background. As soon as I saw these corner sentiments I just had to try this.
Easily hand stamped, but would work even better on our new Stamparatus, especially if batch making! Line up the sentiment to form an arrow, then cut the card stock to a point following the lines of the sentiment - no measurement needed. Use some lovely coordinating DSP and finish off the card by adding some embellishments that go well with the theme and colours. You could even add ribbon down the side for that something extra!
There are so many colour combinations you could try, making it suitable for anyone at any age. The colours I have used go perfectly together for a male birthday card, reminding me of my Brother (who loves Green)! This colour combination features one of our fab new In-colours, Call Me Clover.

You will need:
Call Me Clover Card Stock - 6 3/4" x 5 7/8" folded in half to create your card base.
Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 3 1/4" x 5 1/2"
2028-2020 In-Colour Designer Series Paper - 3 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins (145609)

Inks: Call Me Clover, Mint Macron and Crushed Curry.

So that is our card for today. Hopefully it got you thinking of other ways to use those sentiment stamps :) Let me know what you think in the comments below.
