Sunset Snow Globe Scene Dies

Somebody asked earlier this week about where people find inspiration. I get inspiration from lots of different places. Pinterest is a favourite, but so is the world around me. I am fortunate to live on a farm so am surrounded by gorgeous views. Last week I saw a gorgeous sun rise over the hills. It had similar colours to a gorgeous card by a fellow Demo Chloe Evans, it was a gorgeous gorgeous card but had more colours and dies than I used on my cards.

I love ink blending and used a number of different brushes to create the background using Petal Pink, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight ink.

I love that you can change the card by adding the different die cuts and that the card works both on a portrait and landscape card.

I hope this inspires you to create some sunset scenes. I love the gold foil bears which is your favourite?

A different CASE

There are two different alternatives for the acronym CASE in the craft world. The first is copy and share everything, the other alternative is copy and selectively edit. Today I thought  that I would try the second meaning using the Global Design Project sketch.

Copy and selectively edit, means that you use the inspiration in a number of ways for inspiration, you could use the colours, sketch lay out, or pick out elements. From the stunning inspiration in #GDP200 I considered a number of options. The colours (I think that they are Crumb Cake, Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink), the linen thread, the embossed layer, the three elements (using the Butterfly Gala Stamp set.)

I decided to go with the embossed background, three elements and the linen thread. Rather than using an embossing folder I used an embossing mat to make images of two snowflakes and used the same die to cut out the snowflakes.

Ingredients

Card Base – Petal Pink cardstock - 10.5cm x 29cm scored at 14.5cm

Layer - Whisper white – 9.5cm x 13.5cm

Scrap of  whisper white (for the snowflakes) and Sentiment

Linen thread

I have loved playing with this sketch and creating a Christmas card. The GDP is an amazing source of creativity!

Simple Bridesmaid Thank You card

A few weeks ago I created a Bridesmaid Thank You card using the 'Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper.' I used the 'Detailed with Love' stamps to create the thank you. I love the card with the gorgeous simplicity of the detailed oval frame. I popped it up with foam adhesive strips, it creates a beautiful 3D card, which I think looks better than a store bought.

However, there are only a few oval shapes in each pack, therefore, I have created an alternative card using silver foil, and using the stamps from the Wonderful Moments stamp set. I think that it looks fabulous with the foil and the colours can be matched with the colours chosen for the wedding or bridesmaid dresses. 

 The video below shows how to make the card and the second shows supplies needed to create the card, their is a detailed supply list below.

Dimensions

Thick Whisper White Card Stock - 14.5 x 22cm folded at 10.5

Silver Foil - 12.5 x 8.5cm

Whisper White cardstock x 2 - 12x8 cm

I think nay bridesmaid would love to receive this card. I think it is a really cute card. I hope you like it. I am looking forward to tomorrow when the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue goes is released, it is fabulous.
