Hope Your Day Is Awesome!

Hello there, I am back! I now have my new PC but please bear with me as everything is different! Anyway, I am here (a little later than planned) with a card from the new Simon Says Stamp This Is The Life release. I have used the new Life's Journey stamp set for my card. I have first taken the arrow image from the set and stamped this in various shades of SSS and HA inks on to a white card panel.

 

I have then taken the Tilted banners die and cut this from white CS. The sentiment from the Tilted Banner Sayings stamp set has been stamped on using black ink. This has been popped up with foam tape in the centre of the arrow images. I have then finished off with a few Doodlebug Sprinkles and popped the panel on to a white card base with more foam tape.

So, I never realised that Windows 8 was so different from Windows 7! I think it is going to take me a while to get used to it. Also all my settings in Paint Shop Pro have changed too so the photos might look a bit dodgy while I am getting back to grips with it! Thanks so much for visiting me today and thank you all so much for your support while I have been away.

Broken Computer/Blogging Break

Hello there, I just wanted to pop in and explain where I am! Unfortunately there has been a problem with my PC these last (almost) two weeks. My brother (who is an expert) doesn't know what is wrong so therefore cannot fix it :( He is building me a new one as we speak which will be better, faster and more efficient all round. I have edited and saved videos on his computer before and they take around 30 mins max. On mine currently, it takes almost four hours! I will be very much looking forward to that speed and hopefully it will mean I can make more videos too as I love doing those :)

 

I am hoping that it will be only about a week before I get my new PC (maybe sooner) so I will be back shortly but taking this opportunity to make some new cards and get my creative mojo back (since I haven't been well I feel it has been lacking).

 

So that's where I have been/where I will be. I hope you can bear with me. I will be back soon! I hope you are all well.

CBS July 2014 Release Reveal

Hello there, I am back as promised with my release video. Here I am showing all the new products (although I forgot to mention the Sister Word Die sorry!) along with a recap of my teaser cards. I hope you enjoy!

 

 

All the products will be available in the shop tonight at 10pm as well as at Simon Says Stamp. What is standing out to you? Which ones will you be buying this month? I think my must have faves are the Butterfly Duo dies and the Flight of Fancy set, I love me some butterflies! ;) Of course, I love them all though! Hope you have a lovely weekend and happy shopping! ;)

Get The Quilled Look

Hello there and welcome to the final day of Clearly Besotted Teasers. Yep, you heard correctly, today is the day when all the products are released. They will be on sale tonight at 10pm (BST) from the CBS shop and also Simon Says Stamp.

Today I have a new set called Simply Quilled to share with you. Have you ever thought you like the look of quilling but find it difficult to do? Do you like it but dislike the added bulk on the card? Well this is the set for you! It has an array of quilled images in it along with some cute little sentiments. I love that you can achieve the look with a stamp set.

I have used three of the quilled circles along with the line image to make some flowers for a little notecard. I think this card would make a lovely little set if stamped in different colours for each card.

Happy Birthday Friend

Hello there and welcome to another fun filled day of Clearly Besotted Teasers. For my card today I have used what I think is my favourite set from this release, Flight of Fancy. I have also paired it with the new friend word die.

 

I have first stamped the butterflies with Memento inks and then took the co-ordinating dies and embossed over the top with these. It gives a lovely added detail to a one layer card. I then stamped the 'happy birthday' from the already released Super Cool stamp set. I have cut the Friend Word Die from black CS, added Wink Of Stella over the top and popped it under the happy birthday.

Journalling for Card Makers

Hello there and welcome back to another fun day of Clearly Besotted Teasers. All the products will be available to purchase in the shop and at Simon Says Stamp on the 5th July 2014 at 10pm :) Today I have a card that uses two new sets. One of them is Journal It. It is a great set for journaling, project life and scrapbooking but I also think it is great for card making too.

 

I have first taken two of the frame images from the Journal it set and stamped one in SSS Mint ink and one in SSS Fog ink. These have been cut out, layered and then attached them with the TH Tiny Attacher. I have then cut one of the butterflies from the new Butterfly Duo Die Collection, applied WOS to it and then added it to the frames. These have been added to a panel of white CS with foam tape.

The sentiment, from the A Little Sentimental set, has been stamped with silver ink, cut out and added to the panel with foam tape as well. The panel has been added to a SSS Fog card base and then I have added a few silver Doodlebug Sprinkles to finish.

For Your Kindness

Hello there and welcome to the July Clearly Besotted Teasers! Did you see Stephanie's peeks yesterday? From today and up until (and including) the 5th, Stephanie and the Design Team will be teasing you with sneak peeks of the stamps and dies. We also have the amazing Jen Nelson Guest Designing with us again this month :)

For my card today I am using the new Sweet Rose stamp set. It is so pretty! It has some beautiful rose images as well as some pretty sentiments. I have first taken the outline rose image along with the bottle and stamped those out. The bottle is stamped in Memento Fog ink and the stem and rose is stamped in MFT Grout Gray ink (my new favourite ink to do the no-line colouring technique with Copics). I then coloured them in using my Copic Markers.

I have stamped the beautiful sentiment from the set in black ink and then mounted the panel to a white card base. I have finished off by adding some dots of colour around (I just couldn't do splatters so I did controlled spots using my Copics!) and some Wink Of Stella.
