Daisies and more

A number of different products collaborated to create this project. A partnership between 'Oh so eclectic, Delightful daisies and fresh floral designer series paper'. I love this colour combo of Tranquil Tide and Powder pink, its quite striking. I've got a feeling that you'll see more of this colour combo from me. 

From face value, this card may look a little complicated, but when you break the different components down, it's not quite so complicated. There are few more layers involved than usual, in that I have used designer series paper in between the whisper white card stock and the tranquil tide card stock. By adding that additional layer, I've added a little bit more depth to the card. Some might think its a waste of the designer paper which is so beautiful on its own. I would normally agree but I have now learnt to be more generous with my designer paper, what I mean is that I don't seem to get separation anxiety as much as I used to. Also, you can definitely cut out smaller pieces from the inside of the paper to use for another project, that wouldn't change how it looks as you only get to see the outer frame in any case. This way you don't have to feel quite so guilty.

I have stamped the daisy in powder pink and cut it out using the daisy punch, here there are two daisies combined together to create one daisy. Stamped the one set of leaves in tranquil tide and fussy cut it out, and the smaller leaves, I stamped directly on the whisper white. It was then matter of layering them on top of each other and completing it with a ribbon and a greeting. there you have it, another beautiful creation with the "Delightful Daisies".

Bouquet of Daisies

He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me ... it actually ends with "he loves me". I was curious so I tested it out, pleasantly surprised to find that it ends on a positive note...lol.

I have to say that I am loving the 'Daisy Delight' suite of products. Here I have put together a beautiful bouquet of daisies. I couldn't help myself, these Daisies are just so super easy to make, once I started, I just couldn't stop. 

I love how this bunch turned out, they look almost real, especially when you combine them with some real flowers. 

Why not try it for yourself, its super easy to create.

Stamped On Candles

Dabbling my hand at creating some home deco projects with pillar candles. I love that Stampin Up products are so versatile, there is really no limit to what you can create with them. This is what taking stamps to the next level looks like. All you need is a few of your favourite stamp sets and sheets of wax paper, and of course some pillar candles. 

I stamped the image directly on the wax paper, ensuring the shiny side is facing up. It doesn't matter what colour combinations you chose, all of the SU ink pads works well on wax paper, it doesn't run or smudge, even on wax paper. 

Once I stamped the images, I used a heat gun to adhere the wax paper on the surface of the candle. Moving the heat gun very slowly on the wax paper, allowing the candle wax underneath to soften just enough to absorb the wax paper, making it translucent, leaving the stamped image to stand out. I doing so, it makes it look as though the images are imprinted on the candle itself. A very simple and quick way to create designer looking candles.
