It is so much fun using new stamp sets! When I say new, I not only mean new to my possession, but newly available! As a result of my going to the OnStage event in Melbourne, I received some new stamp sets and was able to order some additional sets as a part of a pre-order. Are you hanging out to receive a copy of the 2016 Occasions Catalogue? Would you like to receive one? If you live in Australia, click here to register your information to receive a copy.


Todays card is a mash-up of old and new; one set is from the Annual Catalogue, available to purchase now and the other set is from the 2016 Occasions Catalogue (available soon). Im playing along with the design team at Can You Case It? Below is the inspiration for the colour challenge this week;

Below is the card I ended up with;

Things I love about this card:

Stamp Sets - I love both of the stamp sets I used. The new stamp is from the 'You're So Lovely' stamp set. It is a 12-stamp photopolymer set (see below). The other set is the 'I Think You're Great' and is such a versatile set.


Burlap - I love the rustic effect the use of burlap gives to a card. I also love linen thread for the same reason.


Mini Staples - Can you see them? Look at the edges of the burlap ribbon. Not only does it give a firm sturdy fixing to the card, it is a cool design element.


Colours - These colours are my type of colours. I love them! Ive assembled an image that showcases the colours and the card together.

You might recall last week, there was a giveaway for the 'Curvy Keepsakes' framelits box to celebrate me hitting 10,000 hits on my blog. Do you want to know who won? Read the post - the winner is at the bottom.

Today, Im playing along with the team over at Can You Case It?. This week, its a sketch challenge and I have included the inspiration below;

And, here is the card I ended up with;


I designed the card in the portrait orientation, but it would work fine in landscape as well.


Im sorry I used that stamp set again! Its my favourite. In fact, this weekend, Im taking part in a blog hop where that set will be featured ..... AGAIN!!!

Things I love about this card 

(aside from the 'Words of Truth' stamp set)

Project Life Stamp Sets - Today, for the 'tab' portions, I used stamps from two of the project life sets (Moments Like These and Happy Times). These each contain a collection of small stamps which would be perfect for Project Life, but also for small sentiments if you don't have much room.


Colours - I love the neutrals. And, I love natural colours. The addition of the Crushed Curry and the Mint Macaron were a perfect fit to the neutral/naturals. Ive made an image below showcasing the card and the colours used.


File Tab Edgelits - How cool are these?



Corrugated Card - I love it. I love how the corrugations are so small. I love how its not a major feature of the card.
