Thank You - Accented Blooms

Hey friends, and happy Friday! I'm at the tail end of a couple of days off and am starting up another work week tonight. Had to make sure I popped in and shared a project before I disappear into the abyss of shift work!

Today's card is another from my stash of previous projects - thank goodness I always have a stash for busy times like this, eh?

I wanted to combine crisp, bold black and whites with some pops of colour for this one. Mission accomplished, I'd say! The watercolour background is a blend of Coastal Cabana, Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, and Granny Apple Green on Shimmery White cardstock, and I love how it offsets the dramatic black and white sentiment from Accented Blooms. So pretty! This card looks complicated but comes together in a flash. Throw a few rhinestones on to jazz it up, and you're done!

Thanks for popping in to see me today - have a fabulous weekend!

Celebrate - All The Good Things

Hello friends! Happy Monday - I hope your week is off to a dreamy start! I'm up to my eyeballs in work lately but still trying to check in when I get a chance - I'm writing this on Sunday night before bed! :)

Today's card is a fun favourite I've had socked away for a few weeks - this one was a special request from a customer, who needed a pretty anniversary card. I pulled this sentiment from "Labels to Love," which goes to show you can use the holiday stamps all year round!

This card is bathed in metallics, isn't it?! I loved the gold on the koi fish so much that I had to work it into the rest of the card - with four separate gold elements, I hope I didn't go overboard! Ha!

That's it for me today - I'll be back later this week with another fun project for you!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!

Always Be There For You - Holiday 2018

Hello friends, and happy Tuesday! How was your long weekend? Are you still sweatin' out the gravy? We had a lovely "Friendsgiving" yesterday - it was so nice to have a wonderful meal with great friends!

Today's card has been a long time coming; the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue has arrived, and this card is a collection of some of my favourite new things from Stampin' Up! Get ready to swoon!

How many new holiday items can you spot? My top three are here - and they are... (drumroll please!)

1. The GALVANIZED trend! Stampin' Up! has brought galvanized metal to this season in a big way, with Galvanized Metallic Paper, Galvanized Buttons, and Galvanized Clips. You'll love this fantastic new embellishment trend!

2. Chicken Wire. Yes, this gorgeous rustic accent is now available to add to your cards and scrapbook pages! It's a total must-have for the holidays! It's been so insanely popular that it's temporarily sold out, but don't fret - it'll be back at the end of the month!

3. The Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Corrugation isn't just for cardboard boxes anymore - you can get in the groove with grooves in your papercrafting, too! The Corrugated TIEF adds a deep, rich impression to your cardstock, foil, and Designer Series Paper. How lovely!
