Lovely Layers for a 70th

One of my amazing drama and crafting friends turns 70 today! Of course I had to make her a card and I knew I wanted to to be bold and bright, just like her.

I looked through some of the flowers in the Flower Market CTMH Cricut cartridge, and decided to use one of the layered flowers as a focal point. I added some white ink splatter behind the flower and framed it with some white enamel gems.

I then cut the number 70 out of some leftover floral paper from the Vacation Paper Packet that was on special a couple of months ago, as I thought the colours all worked really well together! I also added some white splatter behind that just to tie in with the theme and anchor the number to the card.



I'm linking this card up with the Lovely Layers challenge at Heart 2 Heart- I miss being on their design team but love having the chance to play along with them again! I’m also joining in with the Just Add Ink challenge as heir beautiful rainbow flower inspired me to add the bold flower to this card.

Inspired by Vellum

I've been seeing some beautiful vellum cards recently, so I was inspired to give this a go using the patterned vellum from the Postcard Perfect Paper Packet.

I used the vellum as the actual card base, and then matted the stamped area behind the vellum to create the opaque look.



I love doing random stamping, and I used some of my favourite colours to create the card.

I am entering this card in the Heart 2 Heart challenge- Get Creative with Vellum.

Last chance for Postcard Perfect!

Cocktails, sunshine, palm trees- I'm dreaming about a tropical holiday and the Postcard Perfect range is the perfect way to scrap those memories! You can purchase the whole bundle here (as pictured below) or purchase the items individually.

The Cut Above Layout kit is fabulous for quickly putting together pages. I especially love the yellow circle layout, which is perfect for holiday or summer memories.



I've made this layout in anticipation of my trip to Fiji, using the beautiful tropical palm print paper as an accent and pairing it with the complementing cardstock.



This layout reminds me of a beach vacation and I love all the accents you can use with this paper packet as there are some cut out accent sheets that come in the paper packet. I also used the optional stamp set to create the title.



Look at this adorable camera!



The bright colours are beautiful for sharing memories, and I love the combination of the Peacock paired with pink and mint.



These items are only available until the end of May- you can grab your Postcard Perfect items here!
