INSPIRED ….

There are so many sources of inspiration when it comes to creating cards to give to someone special …

It might come from seeing the amazing ideas of other cardmakers …. or the fantastic products we can use …. or the versatility of those products …. or just the things around us.

I’ve seen the Beautiful Branches Thinlits used in so many ways … and because I live on the coast close to the southern most part of the Great Barrier Reef, I was inspired to create a coral reef scene.

If you have been looking at the Beautiful Branches Thinlits and the coordinating Thoughtful Branches stamp set … don’t forget that you only have until August 31 to order them individually or as a bundle. Contact me for more details.

Armed with Night of Navy, Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and of course, Whisper White … this is the scene.

The layers help to give some depth … and I discovered the recessed thinlit technique thanks to Kylie Bertucci.

The Cajun Craze coral reminds of the beautiful waters off Capri!

The fish can be found in the new Seaside Shore stamp set and the sentiment is from the continuing Garden in Bloom stamp set …. both in the current annual catalogue.

CARDS FOR THE BOYS

It has been far too long since my last post … too much work and not enough crafting!

This month I am holding two different Sunday classes … the first, on the 14th, is CARDS FOR THE BOYS.

With Fathers’ Day just around the corner, I thought we could play with some of the stamp sets from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue that are really well suited to the ‘boys’ in our lives … whether you want cards for Fathers’ Day or birthdays, there are plenty of sentiments we can choose from, to make your cards perfect for your special ‘boys’.

OUR FIRST STAMP SET …. ONE WILD RIDE

This card was inspired by a pop up panel card made by Nicole Schlack [Stampin Fee] … her instructions were in German … so that took some extra thinking … thank goodness for her photos.

HERE’S THE ‘POP’

 NEXT … ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE

I haven’t made a side step card in ages … it is a great card for creating perspective.
