Handmade wedding card as showcased in Kylie Bertucci's Blog Highlight
Tuesday, April 11, 2017 Somerset, UK
If you are visiting my blog for the first time, hi! my name is Kim and I live in the UK. If you live in UK, The Netherlands, Germany, France and Austria, you can purchase Stampin' Up! products from my online shop. If you are visiting from further afield, a very warm welcome to you! I hope you find some inspiration here today. You are more than welcome to follow me through any of my social media channels and keep up to date with my craft creations
Today I am taking part in Kylie Bertucci's Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight. Our theme for this highlight is Wedding Cards.
I recently held a craft day for some of my team at work. I asked the ladies attending to look through my Pinterest board to choose which cards they would like to make. Abi really liked a version of this card I made last year (click here to see it). Thankfully, I still had some of the (now retired but totally amazing Timeless Elegance DSP) left over. So I decided to make an alternative version using current DSP from the A Little Foxy DSP Stack.
Admittedly, the wooden sentiment is retired but you can replace this with a die cut sentiment or any 3D sentiment you have in your crafty stash. The wooden sentiment in this version has been coated in Versamark ink and then embossed in silver to coordinare with the Smokey Slate.
The flowers have been die cut using the Botanical Builder Framelit Dies which are now retiring. Make sure you order these soon before they sell out!
You can order all of the products I have used to create this card (except the wooden element) from my online shop (you can find Shop Online in the menu bar at the top of the screen) - however, if you would like to get in touch to place your order, ask a question or request a catalogue - you can contact me through any of my social media channels found in the sidebar, or you can simply email me by clicking here.
If you like my card, I would really appreciate your vote. Just click on the button below and find my project under number 36. To vote, all you have to do is click on the heart in the top right hand corner of the image.
Congratulations on your wedding handmade card using Blooms and Wishes stamp set by Stampin' Up!

I love this stamp set, its just gorgeous. Its called Blooms and Wishes and its very versatile. Using different colours you can achieve so many looks. Check out these lovely cards made using this stamp set that I've pinned on my Flowers & Nature Pinterest boards by clicking here.
I've used the colours Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum, Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron and Soft Sky - my inspiration was the colours of the Sweet Pea flowers. I really must plant some next year as they are such lovely flowers - the garden has been a bit neglected recently....probably doesn't help that I prefer crafting to gardening any day!
I made this card with a wedding in mind so I used this great sentiment from the Floral Phrases stamp set for the inside.
You can purchase this stamp set from my online shop. You can find the link to my online shop in my top menu bar - just search for Blooms and Wishes but make sure you pick the english version of the stamp set! You get 11 flowers and leaves and 3 sentiments for only £19.00. The stamps are photopolymer so they are great for stamping background patterns too as you can see exactly where you are stamping.

Totally in love with timeless grunge using Strawberry Sketches #SS02 & Global Design Project #GDP045
Sunday, July 24, 2016 Somerset, UK
I really enjoyed making today's card! So much that I am entering it into two challenges!
First up we have the Global Design Project #GDP045. This weeks challenge is a colour challenge. I have to use the colours Basic Black, Smoky Slate & Melon Mambo in my project to be able to enter.
As soon as I saw this colour combination I knew I just had to enter. I love how Melon Mambo just pops when used with Basic Black.
The second challenge I am entering is Sarah Berry's Strawberry Sketches #SS02. This is a new sketch challenge in its second week and I plan to play along with this each week.
I love sketches, have I told you that? They really help kick start my creativity. Sketches are a guide, you don't have to copy them, all you have to do is loosely base your design on the layout suggested.
This really is a lovely sketch, I hope you can see how I've designed my card using this sketch.
To make this card I've used the Botanical Builders Framelit Diet for the flowers and the new Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies for the sentiment.
Can you see I've die cut the sentiment in both Basic Black and Melon Mambo. There's just a peep of Melon Mambo showing through underneath the Basic Black.
I've also used some Silver Metallic Thread underneath the flowers to add some further interest.
The spotty background is stamped in Smoky Slate and the stamp is from the Timeless Textures stamp set. The ink splodges are stamped in Melon Mambo and are from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
I hope you've enjoyed today's project! I certainly enjoyed making it and I can't wait to play along again.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Just a quick post from me today to show you these lovely cards I made, inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.
The paper I've used is from the retired Timeless Elegance DSP. I love this paper but unfortunately its now completley sold out. Thankfully I've got lots left over!
I've used the Botanicals Builder Framelit Dies for the flowers and added the sentiment from the retiring Expressions Natural Elements (I'm really going to miss these!)
Thanks for stopping by and a big hello to all my new subscribers! Over the next week or two I will be saying goodbye to my favourite DSP that's retiring from the 2015-16 Annual Catalogue and Spring Summer Catalogue using one very simple card design.
I cannot wait to start showing you fresh new projects that I will create using brand new products from the forthcoming Annual Catalogue that's being released on 1st June 2016.
