Phoenix Inspirations

This is the last of the drafts now - Under the Weather is a beautiful set that is carrying over to the next catalogue. Used here to make a clean and simple card to cheer someone up.

Using up the scraps from making the previous cards to make this one.

The flowers for this card were created by splodging ink onto wet watercolour paper before being die cut.

Another ancient draft and the first of three cards using my Poppy Moments dies.

Another draft post found lurking in my post list - I have quite a few! Forever Blossoms - stamped in Smoky Slate with a coloured version over the top. Coloured branch attached using dimensionals.

Cleaning up my draft posts today and found this card made for a Facebook swap a while ago. Using various embossing folders there is also the awesome 3D Magnolia embossing folder which is carrying over into the new catalogue next week.

A quick clean and simple card using the retiring set Varied Vases. Used to create a poppy field. Also using the second and third generation stamping to create a bit of perspective. This set will be no more this time next week.

Another card made with retiring set Above the Clouds. Available while stocks last. Message me for details  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Retiring at the end of this month. Still available while stocks last. Message me for details  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

We are coming up to the end of the Stampin' Up year and before we get to see the new catalogue we have to clear the way for new stamp sets by retiring the old ones. Not all the items are leaving us - thank goodness but many are including the fabulous Painted Harvest. This has been one of my very favourites and my set is well used. It has great versatility and can be used to create a multitude of projects. I recently did a Facebook Live on this set which you can view  HERE This item along with it's matching leaf punch is available while stocks last - message or leave me a comment for details - thank you - J xx

Yep - it's time for another  Christmas 24 challenge. This time the theme is And here is my card This is another card made from the retiring Colourful Seasons. This time I have glittered the branch and added die cut snowflakes the centres of which are adorned with an epoxy droplet. The droplets have been coloured with a dark Night Of Navy blend marker. i found a scrap of silk ribbon in my stash and my stamped snowflakes were inked with Pacific Point ink. The whole card was mounted on to a Pacific Point card base. I did a Facebook Live video on how I made this card which can be found on my page Phoenix Inspirations. Thanks for looking - see you soon - J xx

Time for a new challenge over at the Rainbow Card Challenge Blog And this month we are looking for all things violet My card is quite clean and simple and uses one of Stampin' Up's retiring stamp sets - Colourful Seasons - take a look I started with a dark purple card base onto which I layered a piece of Whisper White card stock. The sentiment and blossom were stamped with Highland Heather ink and before I added the banner I attached my branch and die cut skeleton leaf. The banner is a piece of Whisper White card stock coloured with a Highland Heather blend pen. The card was then finished off with a Highland Heather leaf with Gorgeous Grape details. Hope everyone is staying safe and well at the moment - take care and I will see you soon - J xx
