Flower Friends with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jun 27, 2022 | Uncategorized

My card today features the new Flower Friends stamp set from Hello Bluebird. That sentiment from the stamp set is so perfect. I began by looking through my stash of patterned papers for a floral piece. I had this strip left over from another project and love the soft colours. I adhered it to the edge of a mini slimline card base (3.5 x 6″). Next, I stamped the sentiment at the top right of my card base. I stamped out the bunny with flower cart and some clouds from the Flower Friends stamp set and coloured them with...

Sparkling Ocean Scene with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jun 20, 2022 | Uncategorized

I often make backgrounds or colour images, then don’t use them straightaway. This is how my card today came about. I recently found this embossed seaside background, that I actually created a couple of years ago, and decided it finally needed to be made into a card. The background is created using the Ocean Scene die and some beautiful embossing glitters from WOW. I think the white flecks give the appearance of ocean waves. I trimmed the background down to a 4.25” square and stamped a sentiment from the Typed Everyday stamp set. The sweet images I used to...

Love you to the Moon and Back with Gemma

The new Hello Bluebird Carried Away stamp set is a perfect companion to the new Little Star stamp set. I used the sweet cat, colouring him to look like my own cat, and added one of my favourite sentiments. I love the font! I used the second largest Nesting Deckle Mini Slimline die, cutting out a panel of patterned paper. I then adhered this to my mini slimline card base and stamped a sentiment from Little Star. All the images are stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and coloured with copic markers. I added additional layers behind the cat...

Rainbow Houses with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Apr 9, 2022 | Uncategorized

I have a new home card to share today, featuring the Little Village die set. It was quick and easy to put together. I began by selecting a rainbow of coloured card, then die cutting the Little Village dies from all the colours. I haven’t cut the Little Village die set apart so they all cut in one pass. I cut a strip of purple tape and spaced out the buildings on the tape, using the bottom edge to get them in a straight line. By laying the die cuts on the tape face down, I can add glue...

Word Buddies Valentine with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Feb 7, 2022 | Uncategorized

I have a sweet Valentines card to share today, featuring the Word Buddies Woodland stamp set. I began with a mini slimline panel, cut with the largest die in the Nesting Mini Slimline die set. I blended spun sugar and kitsch flamingo distress oxide inks on to the panel, fading up to white. I then flicked the panel with gold perfect pearls. Once dry, I adhered it to a mini slimline card base. Next, I die cut the Partly Cloudy die as I love the different clouds. I added some of the same pink distress oxide inks to the...
