Magnolia Blooms on Stone

Beginning my farewells to the retiring Magnolia Blooms stamp set that I love

The gorgeous Magnolia Blooms stamp set has been one of my favourites and I'm rather sad to see it retiring!  So I've been having a last flurry of creating with it.

The image is stamped with Saddle Brown Stazon ink onto Whisper White cardstock and then watercoloured with Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry and Shaded Spruce inks. 

The greeting is stamped with Earlyl Espresso ink.

The base card is Rich Razzleberry with a layer of Sahara Sand embossed with a folder that I forgot was from Sale-A-Bration - so it's retired.  I apologise!  I clearly need to spend some time organising my craft room!

The stamped image and its Rich Razzleberry layer are cut out with the Stitched Nested Labels dies and I added a piece of Reversible Ribbon and some Holiday Rhinestones.

On Monday 25 May, I'll be sharing a different approach to take with the same image.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

Feels Like Frost Quick and Easy Christmas Cards

Christmas card made very quickly with Feels Like Frost paper, Stitched Nested Labels and Beautiful Boughs dies

Continuing my quest to create lots of quick and easy Christmas cards ... this is the "other side" of the gorgeous Feels Like Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper that makes Christmas card making really easy!

Bulk Christmas cards are quick and easy to make with the Feels Like Frost papers!

Always mindful of avoiding wastage ... I used the leftover cardstock (from cutting the labels above) and offcuts of the pretty paper to make more cards and then used extra bits and pieces from my table to finish decorating.  I figure if someone receives a hand made Christmas card, they're not going to complain if I put a gold embossed bauble on a piece of silver paper!

Using up the remnants - one way to avoid wastage!

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Favourite Designer Series Paper

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is our favourite Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I had a really hard time choosing!  

I love the Perennial Essence papers but also the Noble Peacock.  So I sort of combined the two by using the Perennial Essence and the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets!

The perennial Essence papers are so beautiful, very little else is required to create a gorgeous card!

Thank you for visiting.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer - please see the list below and click on the next person on the list to hop through all of the people to all of our projects.  You don't want to miss any!

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek - Butterfly Wishes

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is to provide sneak peeks from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue, which takes effect from 3rd June.  

I've chosen to use the Butterfly Wishes stamp set Stitched Nested Labels and Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

The beautiful new Perennial Essence paper and Butterfly Wishes stamp set

I inked up the entire stamp with Blushing Bride ink and then added Mint Macaron and Soft Suede to the branches and leaves before stamping onto Whisper White cardstock.

TIP:  Breath heavily onto the inked stamp before stamping down onto the card.  The moisture in your "huff" will be sufficient to ensure that the ink is activated.

Give more depth to the butterfly by adding some lighter wings with Stampin' Dimensionals

I stamped the butterfly onto a scrap of Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler and then, without re-inking, stamped again for a lighter shade.

I then cut out the entire darker butterfly and just the wings of the lighter one which I adhered to the darker butterfly using glue and bits of Stampin' Dimensionals before gluing the finished butterfly to the cardfront.

If you live in Australia and don't currently have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, contact me for your copy of the new catalogue.
