Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Happiness Surrounds Limited time Stamp set

Hi there,

Well I think I'm in love again!  I thought, I'll just make a card for a friend, who's birthday I managed to miss, and as this one's a limited time stamp set I wanted to make sure I used it, however as I have already packed a heap of inks etc for my class on Saturday, I was slightly limited with my choices, all I can say is OH WOW!  Happiness Surrounds Stamp set is one from the Limited time suite - Snowflake Showcase.  It is Limited, so only available while stocks last till the end of this month (November)  hence if you want to get it - get it now, don't delay!!  use this host code, and you might win the host benefits for the month: RJZEGMNQ

Ok so the first card I made is the one I'm sending my friend, here it is:
This involves just stamping the largest stamp (I used Pumpkin Pie) , then the medium stamp (I used Granny Apple Green), and the small flower, (I used Melon Mambo).  Next up the sentiment, and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (diamante's), curve the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch, and layer up on a Bermuda Bay Card! Oh and daub round the edge.  How gorgeous is it?

After having made this one I'd packed the diamantes away, so I'll add them to these cards after Saturday I think, but I'm still so happy with the way they turned out, still on the Brights colours as they seem to be the ones I wasn't using this month lol, I had some pre-cut card stock lying around too.....
although if I hadn't had pre-cut card, I was thinking these stamps would make an amazing One Sheet Wonder.  (this is where you take a piece of A4 card, stamp it all over, then cut it up and make several cards from it), moving on.....
gee I love this design so much!, I've done the larger leaves by inking up with the Granny Apple Green and stamping off on scrap paper once, to get the more faded look
And the last card:
I felt a need to use the Gorgeous Grape, and Grapefruit Grove (however not too sure that they actually go together lol) but I still love the look of the card.

I hope these inspire you to create too, and don't forget if you do want this stamp set order it soon! Oh and by the way the Snowfall thinlit dies do cut out the images in this set too (they were packed!)

God Bless love
