Fragrant Layers on white

 Spring is almost here!

I just looked up when it officially begins…..

Astronomical spring is on 20th March, when the sun crosses the celestial equator.

Meteorological spring begins 1st March for weather tracking.

Anyway, hopefully these cards will celebrate better weather to come…

I said I’d be back with Fragrant Layers from Stampin’ Up!

I die cut the cluster from a white card topper, stamped onto a smaller scrap,

which I then placed behind. I did add some decorative dots to this one.

A darker orange…

This one uses just die cuts from different coloured card snippets.

In the set is this label die, to which I attached some white twine, coloured with a blend pen.

I think this card gives the appearance of being coloured in, but it’s layered die cuts.

This one was cased from Su Mohr Aromas and art,

I just loved the colours she used.

Here I die cut a shape, then die cut the cluster from it.

Die cuts were then placed behind to add the colour.

My mind is still full of the possibilities, so watch this space!

Have a great day.

Embossing for Allsorts with Fragrant Layers

 Following yesterday’s post, I’m sharing a quick card that used the same set 

and it was still on my stamping platform…

I embossed the first layer with SU Ornate Floral.

then fussy cut the spray and individual flowers…

This one is going into

Allsorts challenge #843 (embossing)

Can you handle the pressure (cyhtp) (embossing but no die cuts except the sentiment)

A happy accident with Fragrant Layers

 Stamping Sensations is asking for our favourite stamps, 

and I’m sure I can’t be the only one who finds this difficult 😃.

I have a few favourite sentiments, but my favourite stamps tend to be new ones 😂

This is a new to me stamp and die set from SU, Fragrant Layers.

I watched a video by Sara Sayers (KissKreative) just after I’d bought it, and I’ve been hooked since!

I got more inspiration from other SU demonstrators such as Patty Bennett.

For today I’m just sharing one of my cards which started off as a mishap….

I cut a card blank, then scored it in the wrong place….it then stayed on the side for a while.

Whilst playing with this set I was using all sorts of colours.

This flower spray was stamped with my Stamparatus then coloured using the infill stamp.

I then stamped the individual flower stamp several times and fussy cut them.

Here’s just some of the many snippets….nothing wasted here!

I layered them on top of the spray , stamped the sentiment and dots (tiny stamp in the same set),

and added some gems.

I then took it to my paper stash and found a sheet that complimented, and also solved my card blank error!

I cut it to fit the inside and was still able to stamp a readable sentiment inside.

I may start using my subtle older papers inside, as a way of making space for new ones  😉

I could not believe how many different looks you can get from this set,

and I fear I might bore you with it. 

It’s certainly my favourite at the moment,

so I’m taking it to Stamping Sensations  (favourite stamp or AG)

Snippets Playground #526 as I used lots of white snippets, and a paper one.

My NBUS  #83 (never before used)

Merriest wishes tag

 Today I’m sharing a tag for the Tag-along and ATC’s challenge,

where the theme is add a number…

I’m trying to get ahead with tags and cards for December, so I found an old set from SU Merriest Wishes.

It’s quite a large tag, so used a large piece of ribbon, with enough length to tie onto a bag or parcel.

I used evergreen and cherry cobbler ink.

Here’s the link to 

Tag-along and ATC’s

Bookmark Valentine

 Happy share the love day!

I’m not a lover of the commercial side of Valentine’s Day,

plus it can be very hard for people who have lost their partner,

but I do like that it’s become more of a day to share our love and appreciation of friends and family.

Today I’m sharing a simple bookmark made with some very old Stampin’ Up! Sets.

You may be wondering why isn’t it pink and red?

I like things to be practical, and my beloved will more likely use it 

if it’s his favourite football team colours, Chelsea.!

So have a good day wherever you are and whatever you do,

lots of love to you all!

I’m now going to enter this into the 

Tag-along and ATC’s, challenge (anything goes, bookmark)

On Display with cats and books

I had to have this set from SU….On Display

Stamps and dies to fill the shelves, I love mini anything,…..

….and each card can be easily customised to suit .

This was for a friend who loves cats, books, sci fi /fantasy,

so has a starry night background using SU paper, 

and black cats, that do not show up at all well in the photos!

See if you can find all three…..🤔🧐🤨

Another cat / animal / book / plant loving friend…

I used SU wood effect paper for the cabinet, 

and even managed to stamp some teeny images for the photo frame.

Bottom left is one of the “waste” pieces for a cupboard with a handle.

The sentiment is Alex Syberia 

I hope you enjoy today’s Display!
