Phoenix Inspirations

 Yep - more dragonflies. This is the last one for a while and was the subject of last Friday's Facebook Live video. I took inspiration from Christine Blain's card  HERE  but instead of using just one colour I used quite a few! come and see I took various strips of the Dandy Garden DSP and cut them into 1" squares. I then randomly attached them to a piece of Rich Razzelberry card sock. I couldn't fit four along so I added a piece of the Braided Linen Thread. I added two circles - one for the sentiment (from Dragonfly Garden) and one for the dragonflies. These were punched from the DSP. I finally added some gems coloured with a Night of Navy blend pen. You will be glad to know that I am moving on to another stamp set now - Art Gallery. Perhaps you saw my Facebook Live yesterday where I made three notecards with it? If not I will be live around 3pm this afternoon with some more live crafting - hope to see you there. Bye for now - J xx

 Hello - how are you? I do hope you are feeling safe and well. Today's post is all about my Facebook Live from yesterday. I did a one sheet wonder using a sheet of A4 card stock. This was cut up to make four A6 cards. I used my new set Art Gallery and the not so new All Things Fabulous - here are my cards The one sheet wonder is created by stamping multiple images on to the A4 card stock - mine started like this I had great fun stamping this as you can see in the video and if you take a look at the last card with the ribbon you will see how this was nearly a disaster - I was quite pleased with the way I managed to save it! Art Gallery is part of the Fine Art Floral suite in the Mini Catalogue and All Things Fabulous is in the Annual Catalogue - both can be found in my side tab. Join me later today for more live crafting - see you soon - J xx

I've been doing a lot of Facebook Live videos lately on my page Phoenix Inspirations and one of them was using this little set - Inspiring Iris. It's quite a simple card which cane be done in many colourways and is reletively easy to make - take a look If you would like to see how I made these cards you can view the video HERE Have patience - it takes a while to get going as I wait to see how many people are joining me at the time! I try and do live videos most days so please do try and join me. Thanks for stopping by today - I hope to see you again soon. J xx

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
