Pretty Perennials Thank You Cards

Monday, April 5, 2021 United Kingdom


It's been a few months since I last took part in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights so I am excited to be taking part again!

What great timing too, with the theme as 'thank you' I thought it would be perfect to enter these colourful thank you cards that I created for anyone who placed an order with me in March.
Did you know that you can check out all of the thank you cards entered by papercrafters from all of the world by clicking on the banner above?

If you like my card, I would really appreciate you voting for me - you can find more information on how to vote further down this page.

Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop!

Saturday, April 3, 2021 United Kingdom


We are back again with the Stampin' for Christmas blog hop, bringing you ideas for your Christmas papercraft projects, once a month for the rest of this year!

It's 267 days until Christmas however, if you are a planner or simply love creating Christmas cards like I do, there is absolutely nothing wrong with crafting for Christmas all year round.


You'll find inspiration here today from papercrafters and demonstrators with a common love for all things Stampin' Up!

If you have arrived from Laura's blog or you are a regular subscriber, I am so happy to welcome you to my blog!


If you have been following the Stampin' for Christmas hop this year, you may remember that I am a little short on current Stampin' Up! Christmas products in my stash. So I've been mixing it up, typically using a Christmas stamp set and a Christmas die set with current, non Christmassy DSP. 

The True Love DSP is one of my favourites at the moment and I just had to team it up with Blushing Bride. 
I love a black, pink and white colour combo ❤


The Snow Globe Scenes dies are one of my favourite Christmas die sets EVER. They are retiring on 3rd May 2021 so if you want them, you'd better be quick! I am so pleased I got to showcase them one last time. 

I die cut the polar bears from this die set from Black Glitter Paper (note: this is not available to purchase right now, however, it will be returning in the next mini catalogue in July 2021).

I used my Blending Brushes to add some colour behind the polar bears. These brushes are a wonderful tool and an absolute must have for any papercrafter. 

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, also retiring on 3rd May. It has been heat embossed in black (note: Black embossing powder will be making a return in the annual catalogue on 4th May 2021)

Lovely You - The Spot Challenge #155

Friday, April 2, 2021 United Kingdom


Spring is in the air!

I love this time of year, you can literally feel the season changing. The lighter evenings are wonderful too! We're starting to think about the garden, we want to have lots of blooms and colour for the summer season.
 
Our garden is quite contemporary. We have grey and purple painted panels. Here are some pictures from last year. It needs a lot of work so I am only sharing the best bits.


Yes, that is a catio! We have the most pampered cats ever. They are safe but get to experience the outdoors. They have the ultimate comfort in their enclosure and we can join them too! Now it is warmer they are spending more time outside again and it is lovely to see.

We are not the best gardeners, so we tend to plant lots of (inexpensive) lobelia and have hanging baskets with pansy's. I always choose plants with flowers in shades of purple and white, with a few pops of pink and blue, here and there. 

My love of pastel colours shows everywhere, in my garden, in my home and in my paper crafting. The only place it doesn't show is in my wardrobe. 


I was so happy to see this challenge over at The Spot. The theme is just perfect - Spring has sprung!

I grabbed the Fancy Phrases stamp set, Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and set to work!


I really enjoying stamping and creating this card but I cannot take credit for this lovely card design.
I took inspiration from a card I received from my upline Michelle Last. You can see two versions of Michelle's card on her blog here and on Instagram here. 
Michelle has used lovely bright colours for her card so I decided to create my version with a different colour combination, with my garden as inspiration.
