SU! Floral Boutique DSP is on Offer this October!

Hello!
Today is our youngest's birthday and I made him a fun card to celebrate. I will take photos later today and share that with you but you can get a sneak peek on my Instagram or Facebook pages ;-)
I have a simple but elegant card today to share with you showcasing the gorgeous Floral Boutique DSP teamed with a sentiment from the stamp set...

I used the oval nesting dies to cut the sentiment out.
TIP: I found it easier to die cut this oval first, then stamp with the sentiment, embossed here in silver.

Remember this DSP is included in the 4 for 3 offer this month...

I love the Kraft, Navy and White colour combo of this card, add a little navy twine and the paper does all the work!

Pocket Fold Cards - Two Ways! With a Video Tutorial using the Floral Boutique by SU!

Hello!
I have a pair of pocket style cards to share with you today using the gorgeous Floral Boutique suite.
I made two versions to allow for if you have the dies (but you do need them ;-)) and if you don't.
I have also made a little video tutorial to go with them explaining the measurements and a few tips including how to use a stamp-a-ma-jig to get that stamped line straight on the inserts!

OK, so if I had to pick a favourite I would choose this die cut version as it slightly prettier than the other one, I just think the dies add that little something extra. And if you've got the dies this is another great way to use them.
So, this version uses the edge die on the outer pocket.....

And I used the smaller floral die across the bottom inside, love how the navy behind pops!

And this one is if you don't have the dies, just the stamps and DSP. Just as pretty and easy to make in multiples too!
As much as I like the die cut version this is the one that I think would transfer well into many other cards, can you say Christmas?? or just try it with different DSP's...

I stamped at the bottom of this insert as well as across the top edge.

So, how about a video tutorial sharing how I made them...

And both together again to finish today.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed todays post and this pair of cards, which is your favourite?

Hello there and a happy Sunday to you!

What a busy summer we are having here at Chez Rae!! We are trying to make the very most of this summer together before the start of exam year for the middle child and senior school beckons for the smallest. And the eldest? He's working hard at completing his apprenticeship whilst working shifts so we hardly see him :-( Don't kids grow up too quickly? Anyway, that means less blogging from me this August, I'm afraid whilst we enjoy the weather and time together. I will be posting here but I have to be honest, it's going to be a little sporadic over the next couple of weeks. Don't worry, come September and back to school then normal service will resume! Hang tight and thanks for understanding this mummy bloggers torn loyalties *mwah*

So, today I have a card I made based on THIS DESIGN I made a while back. I changed it up slightly to make this card....

  I used the same basic idea but instead of making the colours go from light to dark in an ombre effect I just chose three coordinating colours (Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron and Pink Pirouette) and watercoloured them randomly to make this background.

 Love these colours together, what do you think?

Thanks for reading and understanding how important family time always is :-)

Back soon with another card but 'till then,

Hugs,

#WashiWednesday - Easy Floral Boutique Washi Tape Card and August News from SU!

Hey honey, I'm home!

Incase you didn't know I have been away for a little over 10 days visiting with my Dad in Spain and generally chillin' with the family (sadly, number one son couldn't make it though) and of course soaking up some much needed vitamin D whilst we were there :-)

I did manage to get a post scheduled here each day for the whole time I was away so if you don't follow me on other social media hopefully you wouldn't have noticed too much was different? 

So, since I have returned home so much has happened in the SU! world! I have been busy, busy in my craft room for the last couple of days too, as I have a large commission to finish :-) but I do still have plenty of projects to share with you so I shall be blogging right on through this summer!

Before I share my #washiwednesday project I must mention the "August only" promotion for the very lovely Thoughtful Branches. This stamp and die set is only available for August (until the 31st or while stocks last!) If you'd like to order this then please do visit my SHOP :-) 

*And don't forget to use your Bonus Days codes too!!*

OK, so lets see todays card, this is one from last month's class. 

As with most washi based cards this one is super fun and easy to make....

 The sentiment (from the Floral Boutique stamp set) was embossed with copper coloured powder. Love this Navy, White and Copper colour combo, it's so fresh looking, don't you think?

I used the matching Floral Boutique DSP to cover the whole of the card front, I'm loving this look and it seems to be around a lot more lately.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card? Have you noticed the sneak peek of another upcoming card which can be seen in the August Shopping Code picture below?? ;-)

Thanks so much for looking today and don't forget the Thoughtful Branches Bundle is only while stocks last!
