Friday Freebie - Floral Friends

Hi Everybody,

This lovely stamp set also has an embossing folder in the pack and I used it to Letterpress the background on my card.

The video Floral Friends  will give you some more ideas on how I used this set and it is very versatile for fun designs

If this is a set that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

So if you are new to leaving comments here is what you need to do ....

• Under my Signature you will see the word comment and maybe a number. 
• The number is how many people have already left one. 
• You need to click that and another box will open.
•  Into that box you can add your own comment and click PUBLISH .... but it will not show up until I have moderated it so please don't add it again
• Use your FULL name to enter
• Come back tomorrow to check if it is your name that is shown in the blog post
• Then email me to let me know it is you if it is your name

Hope that helps

More tomorrow ...

Creative Stamping 58 - Serene Beauty

Hi Everybody,

This months issue of Creative Stamping has a large A4 stamp set with it and the featured designer is Sheena Douglass

There are lots of images for you to create some lovely cards and many of them would be suitable for male designs

Dress them up or down as you wish and for mine I have added in some beautiful flowers.

The video will give you other ideas and of course there are many more in the magazine itself and the back of the package. But I am sure that you will come up with many more once you start to play.

More tomorrow ...

6x6 Collection - Floral Wreath

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with the 6x6 Box set and Layered Florals from the original collection.

I have added some Ink Smooshing and then die cut the flowers for a really loose water coloured look

The video will show you how to get the effect and it is really easy to do. 

With Distress Oxides you can deepen the colour to the layers without it going muddy but be sure to dry it between each one.

I hope you enjoy the video and will try Ink Smooshing for your self

More tomorrow ...
