Sailing Home - twice!

Hi there

I do hope that you are all keeping well, thankfully it is a lot cooler today after the few hot days we had last week! Well, hot for us here in the UK! Lol!  We don't usually have 30+ for several continuous days...

The heat really was draining and I found I could only manage to just sit and watch YouTube videos on card making (naturally, what else would I want to watch! Tee hee).

I watched a lovely tutorial from Creative Chelsey on how to make two backgrounds at the same time that Chelsey called smooshing :) Please do go over to Chelsey's YouTube channel and watch her lovely tutorials :) I am now making my way through them and I am sure I will CASE more ideas and techniques from Chelsey ;) 

Chelsey used the beautiful Gathered Together stamp set and the Gathered Leaves Dies for her two amazing cards.

I decided to use Sailing Home and the co-ordinating dies for my cards.  I also embossed my two panels with the Seabed embossing folder for extra texture :)  Here are my two cards...

This is such a fun technique, I do hope you watch Chelsey's tutorial and give it a  go! 

If you have any questions about any of the products I have used, please let me know, I would be happy to help you.

Take care and have fun getting inky.

Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights - August 2020

Hi there

Wow, where has the month gone!  I must be getting old... time seems to just fly by! Lol

We still seem to be having good weather here in Coggeshall, which is great as things always seem better when the sun is shining :)

I really had fun making my card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights this month.  I have used the Tasteful Touches stamp set with the jar from Jar of Flowers and a sentiment from Lovely You! Wow, I have really mixed up my sets this time around, but they are all so versatile and fun!

I also used a couple of new In Colours in my stamping - Bumble Bee, Just Jade and Cinnamon Cider, I am just loving the new In Colours, they seem to go with everything...

Here is my card, I made the pattern down the side using the  patterned papers from Jar of Flowers and the Tailored Tag punch.

I hope you enjoy looking through all the fabulous cards, there is so much inspiration from so many talented crafter's.

I would appreciate it if you could vote for me and four other people, many thanks and enjoy the blog hop.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my card.

Take care and have fun getting inky ;)
