Happiness Blooms - Happy Flowers

I have continued playing with the Happiness Blooms Suite. The papers are gorgeous, it has an interesting retro look to it. I have to admit I wasn’t sure about the patterns when I first saw them. However, they have grown on me. I struggle with the bright, bright colour, you may noticed that I am not a bright kind of girl, the subtle shades are my go to suite. This DSP definitely got me out of my comfort zone. The paper is better in the flesh! I do love the amazing flower paper with tulip shaped flowers in Calypso Coral, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch on Night of Navy.

I have to confess that Night of Navy is one of my favorite go to colours, I think that its inclusion in the suite made me feel more comfortable. Normally I would try and use the matching stamp set for the sentiment. The Bloom by Bloom set is all images, therefore I have raided my stash to find sentiments. I have also been perusing Pinterest and You Tube for inspiration. Click on the box to go to the video:

• Striped Box

• Snack Box

• Little Bag

• Pouch

I think that this is the perfect paper for both male and female cards, I also think it makes gorgeous 3D items. Although I do need to make a new bag, as Tinca (my littlest Lab) ate my example. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Hello, World!

Its an Animal Expedition

I have to confess I love the animal expedition paper, I have two packs, it is definitely going to be a pack which I will hoard.It is gorgeous, I love all the papers. The stamps are gorgeous too, they look good with different colouring methods, whether it is Blends, Stampin' markers or watercolours. The dies cut the papers and the stamps and their is a fabulous trick to have the animals facing both ways, rather than just one. If you hold the papers up to the light you can see the outline and place the die on and then I suggest keeping it in place with Washy tape. To reverse stamp i used my Stamparutus to line up where | wanted my image and stamped on to a large flat stamp.

You could easily create so many cards just using the stamp set, or papers, the fussy cutting is not so difficult. As a suite it does come in to its own if you add it all together, the ribbon is gorgeous and you can create stunning leaf collages. 

All thats missing is a monkey! But the other animals are super cute. Which is your favourite?
