Simply Zinnia

 I was extremely excited when the latest batch of Online Exclusives items were released recently.

There were so many products to choose from and one of the suites I fell in love with was this one.....

Simply Zinnia.



I absolutely adore this card! I wish I could take credit for the design, however that goes to Brian King in the U.S. As soon as I saw it, it went straight on the list to CASE.

It's such an elegant and stunning card. Black and White is so timeless, it never goes out of fashion.

I also love that this particular card is a great example of how a stamped image doesn't have to be coloured. That Zinnia flower is the perfect image to colour, with Stampin' Blends or the Stampin' Write markers, maybe some watercolouring as well but I love how on this card, it works so well without being coloured. I'm not the worlds best colourer and I do try and avoid it if I can, so this card really appealed to me.

I also can't stop using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set for sentiments. That set is also an Online Exclusive and so versatile.

Until next time

Happy Stamping!

Happ-BEE Birthday!

The Bee Mine Suite Collection isn't just for Valentines cards.

The Bee is super cute and can be used for lots of occasions.

For this one, I made him for a simple Birthday Card.


I saw something similar to this on Pinterest so I CASE'd it however I didn't write down the name of the original designer, so full credit to them.

This bundle comes with a punch rather than dies and the bee is quite easy to build and put together.

The Suite comes with matching papers as well.

A cute and fun Birthday card that I would be happy to send to a friend.

Who fancies a cuppa?

 It's funny, when I first saw this set in the mini catty I was very certain that there was no way I would be purchasing this set.

I simply flicked the page and stated "not for me".......

I completely missed the dies and they were bought to my attention. I then ordered the dies because they can be used independantly from the stamp set, so that was ok.

Fast forward a few months and I caved! haha

I had seen way too many gorgeous projects made with this set, so then I had to order the stamp set! DAMN IT!


I honestly don't know why I do that but don't do what I did. ALWAYS buy the bundle, even if you only like one of the sets whether it's dies or stamps. Buying them seperately will cost you more in the long run and you should never seperate a bundle right?

Anyway, I really enjoyed making this card as I made it with my team during a team Crafty Sesh on a saturday morning.

I'm not a big colourer but this image was delightful to colour because it was very minimal.

I always think of the queen when a cup of tea is referenced and who doesn't love a good cuppa?

Flowering Zinnias

The new Flowering Zinnias products out now are stunning and I am truly in love with these delightful Designer Papers.

This card is so simple and can be made for a number of occasions.


I CASE'd this card from Susan Campfield and the only changes I made were the colour of the cardstock base, I changed mine from white to Lemon Lime Twist as this colour coordinates nicely with the papers. 

I also added a touch of the Simply Elegant Trim to coincide with the theme, which is thinking of you. I wanted to give it a soft elegant touch. 

That embosing folder is also part of the Zinnia Suite and is so detailed.

So simple, no fuss and the papers are the star of the show. Well in competition with the Embossing Folder.

This card would be perfect for a Mothers Day or Birthday card for that special lady.
