Hello hello and welcome to my blog and our All Star Tutorial Blog Hop for December!

This month, we are featuring the Hues of Happiness Suite and it's one of my absolute faves in our main Annual Catalogue. I'm a real sucker for vibrant colours, florals and pretty fonts, so this collection definitely had my name on it!

Check out the gorgeous products in this collection:

This month for our Tutorial Bundle, each of the 12 members of our design team created a project featuring this suite as well as an accompanying video tutorial showing how to make the projects and a PDF with supply lists and measurements (metric and imperial). All of these tutorials have been compiled in a bundle and you can either purchase it or get it for free (details below). Here's a sneak peek of my project for this month:

And finally, here's my project for today's blog hop:

For my card, I wanted to showcase the gorgeous brushstroke pattern paper in these beautiful colours. It's a simple card to create and truly, the patterned paper does most of the heavy lifting with a few added stamped and die cut elements and of course, some embellishments. 

Here are the details (all supplies and links are included below):

• Pool Party Card Base (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
• Pool Party Layer (4" x 5 1/4")
• Designer Series Paper (3 3/4" x 5")

Sweet Symmetry Card & Matching Envelope

Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping by today, I have a fun and easy project for you! To see how I created this project, click on the video link at the end of this post.

I created this simple yet pretty card using the Sweet Symmetry suite of products, which includes the In Symmetry Bundle and coordinating patterned paper. I love the bright, bold colours and patterns on this paper and find it to be so versatile for a variety of different cards! 

I love the paper so much in fact, that I used it to create a coordinating envelope that fits the card perfectly. 

To create the card, I used a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and a small strip of Flirty Flamingo to layer behind the gorgeous paper. I stamped the greeting and flower on a circle and layered a scalloped circle behind it to add some contrast. 

I finished off the card with some Flirty Flamingo metallic ribbon and some Champagne Rhinestones. I added a white insert with a small strip of coordinating paper to decorate the inside. 

The envelope was created using a 6 x12 piece of Designer Series Paper and a scoring tool - I used my Stampin' Trimmer. 

Here are some more pics of the cards as well as the envelope in a different colour. 

Here's a link to the video sharing instructions and measurements for these projects. If you enjoy the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel! I post videos weekly of different crafting projects.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Please let me know if you give it a try, I would love to hear from you!

Hugs,

Zahra

All-Star Tutorial Blog Hop: Fine Art Floral

Hey there (again) crafty friends! 

You might be thinking: two blog posts in one day? Can't be! Well, it is...

I was honoured to be invited to join the All-Star Tutorial Bundle Group for the next six months and can I say, I am OVER THE MOON excited?! So many of the stampers in this group are an inspiration for me and my crafting so to be able to create and share my work with you alongside these amazing peeps is just so awesome! Today, we are inviting you to join us for a Blog Hop, featuring projects from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the new January to June Mini Catalogue.  If you wish to subscribe to receive these amazing monthly tutorials or just wish to try it for the month of January, you'll find details HERE.

This suite of products is simply stunning with gorgeous handpainted floral designer series paper, beautiful ribbon and a versatile stamp set with coordinating dies. Check out some of the gorgeous samples using this suite:

Here's the project I'm sharing with you today

I can't lie, I'm kinda smitten by how it turned out. It's not at all the colour combination I had originally envisioned for the card but I do love it! I love the bright Poppy Parade card base paired with the subtle pink (Petal Pink) and green (Mossy Meadow). I stamped the large flower from the set in Poppy Parade to add a tone on tone background. I wanted to add some tiny hits of gold to the card and used my Wink of Stella Brush to do so, along with some heat embossing (thank you) and gold pearls.

I love die cut words, so when I saw the 'just want to say' in this die set, I was sold! It pairs so well with all of the sentiments in the set, although they can be used without the dies too. I used a pretty detailed border from the Ornate Borders dies and added the Fine Art Floral ribbon for some texture and extra sparkle.

You can find all the supplies for this project below, all products can be purchased from my online store. Here are the measurements:

• Poppy Parade card base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Designer Series Paper strip: 5" x 1"
• Petal Pink Ornate Border: 1 1/4" x 4 7/8"
• Mossy Meadow Stitched Circle: 2 1/2"
• Fine Art Ribbon: 7"
• Scrap of DSP for 'thank you' - heat emboss and hand cut

You are definitely going to want to add this suite to your craft supply shelves! You'll get our tutorial bundle for FREE when you purchase it from my online store or place any order over $50. This tutorial bundle includes 12 amazing projects and tutorial videos walking you through, step by step, how to create the projects.
