#Loveitchopit for Customer appreciation

Welcome back happy stampers :)

There is this mantra going around atm!!! #loveitchopit started by Kylie Berucci (she is my Granny in SU)

This is not a one sheet wonder tutorial, and this is not an entry into anything. 

It's a way to encourage us and you to love our papers and chop our papers :) 

Make use of it, you know, not hoard it!!!

I am a serial hoarder, seriously! lol

 I am probably like any other of the million of you out there, who store their papers for that time when the perfect opportunity to use it arives...!!!

Well I am still waiting for that opportunity and I keep buying more beautiful papers. 

It's time to use it!!!

What better way to use it than to create Customer Appreciation and R.A.K cards..

I started these 3 days ago, hahaha! And have only just completed them. 

But I am so happy with how they turned out. 

What do you think?

#Floralboutique #Loveitchopit #Customerappreciation #KOCreationscards #Thankyou #Fromtheheart #RAK #randomactofkindness

I love my customers and I am always looking for ways to let them know how I appreciate them. 

For without them I wouldn't be here.

Here is something else I love!

See the card at the centre bottom (pic directly above)??? 

This was created using my scratch paper that I stamped off onto. I used to use my grid paper, but now I use this for classes only. I have so many pieces of paper laying about that I have cut the wrong way or I have die cut a piece from. And this is what I reach for to scribble, stamp and paint onto.

Well today it was just stamping.

Sometimes like today, I start to notice how good the scratch piece looks!!!

I then finish what I am creating and make something with it. Like below.

To finish this card all I did was stamped the largest flower from the stamp set Special Reason...it has fast become a favourite stamp set of mine. I die cut it and layered using dimensionals. 

No bling, no sentiment. 

I think it looks perfect just the way it is!

I made the inside (not pictured) by just layering whisper white and stamping to of the smallest flwoers over the top of the flourish from Timeless Textures.

Not one of these cards has any more than a sentiment, a piece of ribbon or twine as an embellishment.

These colours really do just make for such an attractive card. 

I do so love the Floral Boutique DSP so  #loveitchopit happened lol

This will be an ongoing battle for me. One I am willing to keep trying at. I will share the journey with you as I try to use more of my beautiful papers!

One last group shot of them all together

Wedding Bells and Stitched Shapes Framelits

Welcome Back 

Over the last weekend I was lucky enough to participate in yearly 2 day local market event. I  met some lovely new people and gained some new contacts and customers too. I had a few requests for wedding cards with a natural and also classy feel.

I thought I would enter this card into this weeks Global Design Challenge as the layout fits the one they have.

I chose to use the new *Stitched Shape Framelits* (note at end of blog) for this card to create the background heart behind the Bloomin' Hearts detailed die. 

If you look closely you can see that I have layered 2 circles and a square to create the heart shape.

"WEDDING BELLS"

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Seasonalbells #Bloominlovebundle #Fabulousfoilacetate #Weddings #Love #Giftsoflove #Fromtheheart #KOCreationscards

You can see that I chose to emboss my bells in gold. 

I also embossed the sentiment too, but first I stamped it in Stazon Black and then roughly sanded the surface to give a tarnished look. I also did that for the inside floral heart design. 

The colors of Vanilla, Black, Crumb Cake and Gold combine so well together for that natural yet classy effect that was requested.

 "INSIDE VIEW"

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Seasonalbells #Bloominlovebundle #Fabulousfoilacetate #Weddings #Love #Giftsoflove #Fromtheheart #KOCreationscards

I added a Natural Trim (GOLD) piece of ribbon to the bells on the front and around the back of the card, just to add that little extra detail. I could then also add  names or a date to a tag to sit inside, just to personalize this card even more.
