Valentine Cards

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Who says Valentine cards have to be red? Not me! Here's the card I made for my wonderful Husband in our favourite colour - purple.

The little envelopes are absolutely gorgeous and each contain a little note, would you like a sneak peak?

I also used my Wink of Stella pen on the hearts down the side to make them all sparkly.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge February 2017

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

The lovely Sam Charlton designed our sketch this month and here it is:

As soon as I saw it I loved it, what a brilliant sketch so thanks so much Sam.

Here is my take and I'm rather pleased with it.

I used our thick Whisper White as a base and then used some of the Blooms and Wishes DSP (Designer Series Paper) as a mat. I cut out the circles using the new stitched framelits in Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Blushing Bride. I used a smaller circle and Whisper White cardstock for the sentiment. 

The darker stripes are from the same DSP pack and the flower and leaf are from the Flourish Thinlet dies. 

I used a thank you from the One big meaning stamp set, this sentiment fits perfectly in the smallest circle die and was finished off with some basic rhinestones. You can just see the Wink of Stella I painted on the outside edge, no idea why it doesn't show up on camera as in real life it is so sparkly.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.

Don't forget to use the buttons below to continue hopping.

Until next week

Card Swap January

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

The card swap theme for January was a thank you card.

This is the card I made for Justyna.

Regular readers of my blog may recognise the design as it is similar to one I made for the Blog Hop I took part in recently. This is made in Watermelon Wonder which is a lovely pinky / peachy colour, one of the colours from the 15-17 In Colours.

This is the card I received from Jane Carroll. I love it.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

New Baby cards

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I've always loved sending baby cards and now it's even more special when I get to make the cards myself.

I was having a play with the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and matching punch and decided to make a baby card or four! I started with the two obvious colours, blue and pink then decided to make two more, one in yellow and the other in beige. I love the sentiment - 'Peek-a-boo to someone new'. I've also used the new Delicate details stamp set to decorate to top and bottom of the card. 

Here's a closer look at them. 

I have just taken the plunge and opened up an Etsy shop, please take a look, just click here.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
