Shimmer and Bloom

A photograph can't capture the gorgeous shimmer on these papers.  And the flowers and leaves are just beautiful.  So many ways to use them, and different colour combinations to choose.  On the grey and pink card I used a stencil and some glitter texture paste to add interest to the background.  And who doesn't love a bit of velvet ribbon, especially in this lovely soft green.  We loved making these, and there is still plenty of paper left to make more.

We are Sailing

This is the first stamp and die set I bought from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue as we're always looking for new ideas to make cards for men - aren't they just too difficult to make things for sometimes?  I included a bridge fold card, just because it's nice to make different shaped cards for a change.  The designer series paper also provides a fantastic range of patterns in coordinating colours, making it easy to create something eyecatching.  I love the little details like the rope and knot, ship's wheel, and the compass hands are attached with a brad so they move round.  The papers included some very nice stripe designs in different colours, so I've kept them for a future project.  I love it when items are so versatile.
