Charming Cafe - Life is better with you in it

While I was making my Just Add Ink challenge card I played some more with the Charming Cafe stamp & die bundle and made this one.

Beautiful Day blended flowers

I got waylaid after sharing my Beautiful Day butterfly cards but I'm back to share a couple of cards using the gorgeous flower stamp in the set, starting with this one.

JAI 392 Just add something new - blog hop

 
Today at Just Add Ink we're celebrating the start of a new challenge year with a team blog hop & challenge to Just Add Something New.

Beautiful Day blended butterflies

Today I'm sharing some cards using one of my favourite new sets from the Occasions catalogue, Beautiful Day. I was super excited to receive this as a prize patrol (just ask anyone at our table) at our November Stampin' Up! Onstage event, & not just because it has a gorgeous butterfly in it.

The butterfly & flower stamps are brilliant for soooo many different techniques. One of these is the stained glass technique, where a line image is heat embossed (usually in black) on vellum, then the back of the vellum is coloured with markers. This gives a lovely stained glass effect.

New Occasions and free goodies = happy stamping!
