Hibiscus thank you

I have a few of my thank you cards for this month left. Bright and beautiful. This hibiscus, which I love, is from the Humming Along stamp set. There is also a set of dies to coordinate with the stamps.

They were pretty quick and easy to colour in. I used Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) in Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.  And for the background around the flower I used Bermuda Bay water colour pencil.

Enjoy the simple moments

I did indeed enjoy the simple moments making this card. It's not a usual style for me, but I was in the mood for something understated, yet striking, to me anyway.  I used the Home to Roost stamp set,  a sale-a-bration item, which is available for you to earn for FREE when you spend just £45 on Stampin' Up! products.  And I love, love, love the corrugated embossing folder, it adds a wow factor on any card.

I used the Stamparatus for the sentiment because I wanted to stamp it twice for a darker impression as I used Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake card.

Hoppy Birthday

This double-diamond fold card was fun to make.  I love how it turned out.  I used the Sale-A-Bration stamp set So Hoppy Together.  And the 'Birthday' greeting is from the new Well Said set on page 27 of the Spring/Summer catalogue. 

You can get this set for free with just a £45 spend during Sale-A-Bration, ends 31 March.  Do contact me if you would like to place your order or shop via my online store, top right, and don't forget to use the Host Code to receive a gift from me.
