Gorgeous Colours to work with this week

This is possibly the last post for me for a few months as I am having some time out with my little family which I am very much looking forward to.

As soon as I saw this stamp in the catalogue it was another I "NEEDED".
I have been looking for a caravan stamp for such a long time and finally here it is!

We have just bought a caravan so I thought that this would just be perfect for my card.


  • Stamps: You're Sublime, World Map and Tin of Cards Stampset
  • Ink: Memento Black and Bermuda Bay
  • Card:  Basic Grey, Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White
  • Tools: Banner Triple Punch, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Grey markers
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals

Sketch week again



I was lucky to receive a fantastic box full of goodies on Friday so I thought I would have a little play with them for this weeks challenge.

I am officially in love with the new set No Bones about it!! It was the first stampset that I saw in the new catalogue at convention and I thought "I must have that! no I really NEED that"

Here is the card I came up with

A few things about this card. I did use framelits but the size wasn't quite what I had in mind so I drew around one of the smaller ones and then cut it out and placed it on a punched out piece of black card.
The sentiment I did also fussy cut the blue surround as again there wasn't a framelit quite the right size for what I needed.
The jute at the bottom I cut in half so it wasn't so wide.
I hope you like it!

  • Stamps: No Bones About It
  • Ink: Memento Black, Tip Top Taupe, Bermuda Bay
  • Card:  Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White and Go Wild DSP stack
  • Tools: Circles and Lots of Labels Framelits with the bigshot machine, 2 1/2 inch circle punch and Banner Triple punch
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals and White Jute

Colours this week



I have been thinking about this challenge and how I could "kill two birds with one stone"
Stampin' Up! has set a demonstrator only punch art challenge this month so I thought I could incorporate these colours into the challenge.

Here it is


A pretty funky card I think.
A little time consuming sticking all the little hearts from the border punch onto the card, but I am happy with the result.
  • Stamps: Groovy Love (part of one of the sentiment stamps)
  • Card:  Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Watermelon Wonder and Night of Navy
  • Tools: Sweetheart and Hearts Border Punches, Basic Black and Watermelon Wonder stampin' write markers
  • Embellishments:  Dimensionals

A sketch week




I thought I would use a couple of the new in colours together again. I haven't bought anything from the catalogue as yet so I don't have any new sets to play with (shock horror). I should be getting an order in the next few weeks as I did do an exchange so fingers crossed the turnaround is quick.



I used two colours for the main card this week and enjoyed doing a bit of emboss resist for the leaves background.
A nice and simple card that can be used for a variety of different events.

  • Stamps: Awesomely artistic
  • Ink:  Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron & Early Espresso
  • Card:  Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron and Whisper White
  • Tools: Banner Triple punch & Decorative Dots Embossing Folder with the big shot
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals

Gorgeous Colours this week new ones too!!


I am really loving using the new in colours but it has taken a little time for me to get used to them

Here is my card for this week


I am super happy with how it worked out. Sometimes things just work :-)
It was quite a simple card and using the little stamps from the new Ronald McDonald House Charity stampset "Sprinkles of Life" it just made a lovely background.
The banner was popped up with two dimensionals on top of each other and glued down at the ends
so it has dimension.



  • Stamps: Sprinkles of Life 
  • Ink: Watermelon Wonder, Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron
  • Card:  Tip Top Taups, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron and Whisper White
  • Tools: Banner Triple and Tree Builder Punches, Fun Frames Embossing Folder with the Bigshot and sponge daubers for distressing edges
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals
