There are so many beautiful stamp sets in the new catalogue but I chose Hand Penned for this project.

 I love the subtle elegance of this card using the dies to create a background to a pop of colour with the stamped image.




The inks I have used are So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.  The new 2021-2023 In Colours work so well with our existing colour palette.  To complete the card I added 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels.


I hope you've enjoyed this project and it has inspired you.  Hop over to another of our incredibly creative team.

The sentiments are taken from 'Enjoy the Rhythm' and have b...

  I decided to make the Borders to Backgrounds stamp set the *star* of this cards (excuse the pun).  As we are in lockdown in the UK, I felt I needed to make something bright and cheery to lighten the mood. I inked the star border stamp using sponge daubers and Real Red, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point.  I then stamped a complete sheet of Whisper White using this method. Using the Curvy Dies, I cut a piece of black cardstock and used Granny Apple Green as a mat.  The  word PAPER was cut with the Playful Alphabet dies.  I stamped the 'Hugs, Prayers, Love' and 'Sending positive thoughts and feel-good wishes' sentiments (AC)in Versamark and embossed in white before fussy cutting the sentiments that I wanted to use on my project. Finally I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Elegant Faceted Gems and finished the card off with a white twine bow. I hope this card has brightened your day and encourages you to send some paper hugs. ...
