Today’s card for Scrapbook Boutique is very ‘Quick & Easy’, and what better way to do that than to use a collection kit. Cocoa Vanilla Studio always has the most beautiful kits and ‘Look Mum? No stamping!’ I have a video showing you how this card came together.

Today I decided it was time to practice with my Polychromos pencils and I thought why not add them to kraft! They are very similar to the Prismacolor pencils but different lol. and I had lots of fun and know that the more that I play with them the more comfortable I will become.
This poppy image is so pretty and with just a little masking I could add a second flower and make the stem longer. I thought I would be a little daredevilish today and decided to only stamp 2 flowers…. I know, I know, an even number!
I used some Penny Black products today and they will of course be linked below. I’ll be back on Thursday with another video, look forward to seeing you then!
Other Supplies: Polychromos pencils – White / Black / Sanguine / Walnut Brown / Van-Dyck- Brown / Middle Cadmium Red / Pale Geranium Lake / Permanent Carmine. Brown fun foam

Today’s CASE is from a most wonderful lady, Aileen from Colour and Sparkle, who loves to colour and she always has such happy and cheery cards! Here is the link to the CARD that I chose to CASE today.
I rarely use vellum and have been making an effort to bring it back into my repertoire. Thank so much for the inspiration Aileen.

Today I have quite a clean & simple card to share for Scrapbook Boutique, using a ‘fabulous’ die from MFT and some of the sweet new floral stamps from Altenew. There is also a video and even though it is a CAS design there were still a few steps involved, so you can see it come together.

I adore this flower from Altenew but have you ever had one of those days or should I say, one of those cards? It felt like I was fighting the whole time lol, but I was determined to finish and hopefully I ended up with something just a little presentable. You can watch my video here to see what I mean….

Hi there, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set. It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Remember This.
For my first card (and video) I was inspired by this card HERE created by Lisa Johnson, she is amazing and I’ve had this card pinned on my board for ages and purposely didn’t look at it before I started creating as I wanted to create my own version…. there are still lots of similarities though, but how do you improve on perfection. Thanks Lisa for the inspiration.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Here’s my next card, I thought I would go for a vintage style look,
For my final card I couldn’t stop adding gold…
So why not head over to the Altenew blog for some more info on these cards as well as lots more inspiration from the rest of the team with this fabulous new release. ps. the products are linked below. Hugs,

I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 July release and blog hop, and if you arrived here from Laura Bassen’s blog then you are exactly where you need to be. Today we will be releasing 16 stamp sets, some new papers and washi tape! I had so much fun with these new stamp sets, I can’t wait to play some more.
Here is my first card for today (the video link is below),
Time for a CAS tone on tone background using those fabulous gray inks and the pale gray cardstock from Altenew. Then it was time for a bright stamp layered Tulip from this gorgeous new set and the sentiment was taken from Birch Land.
I decided to film as I created this card to show just how it came together.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGm3vDPgDDk]
And now, my second and brightest card for this release. I decided to use the Celebrations stamp set to create a fun wedding card. It was time to do some paper piecing and I decided to use one of my all time fave colour combos – bright orange and hot pink, now who wouldn’t love this?
And for my final card I used the Happy Mail set to create this clean and simple design. Just a little bit of sneaky masking, colour added with Prismacolor Pencils and my panel sitting up on a piece of (hoarded) Cherry Wood specialty paper, this card came together very quickly.

Today for Scrapbook Boutique I decided that I ‘needed’ to add to my sympathy card stash, and I gotta say I much prefer to do this when the cards are not needed.
So I thought I would play with my new Prima watercolors and cardstock and as usual I like to keep my sympathy cards nice and simple and these beautiful Peonies from Altenew which are now in stock at Scrapbook Boutique were perfect.
