🎼 Design Team Spotlight 🎼

Today we’re sharing this elegant musical-themed card created by Wendy Walters using products from the fabulous Diamonds Collection

Wendy has combined the geometric beauty of the diamond dies with musical elements to create a sophisticated masculine birthday design. The rich combination of Tropical Teal, Pearl Antique Gold and crisp Milk card creates a timeless and luxurious feel, while the layered diamond panels add beautiful depth and dimension.

The striped diamond backdrop perfectly frames the detailed violin die, while the music note accents bring movement and balance to the overall design. Finished with the delicate Happy Birthday sentiment, this card would be perfect for any music lover or musician

The clean layout and striking colour palette really show how versatile the Diamonds Collection can be for elegant masculine makes.

Christmas Ewe Shaker Card

Hello everyone!

For this project, I wanted to create a fun and festive shaker card featuring the adorable Christmas Lamb stamp. The soft lavender and silver colour palette gives the card a lovely winter feel, while the shaker element adds plenty of sparkle and movement.

I started by die-cutting a fluted square from silver cardstock using the JRCD0034 Fluted Square Mats and Layers die set and attached it to a 7-inch white card blank.

Next, I created the shaker frame using Soft Lavender cardstock and the JRCD0037 Deckle Edge and Stitched Mats and Layers dies. I used a smaller plain square die to cut an aperture from the centre, creating a frame. A piece of acetate was secured to the back with red liner tape, and I added foam tape around the edges, making sure there were no gaps for the shaker pieces to escape.

For the background, I cut a square of white cardstock and embossed it using the JRCST0022 Snowflakes 8 x 8 Stencil and a rubber embossing mat. This gives a beautiful subtle snowflake texture without distracting from the focal image.

I stamped the Christmas Lamb onto white cardstock with black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder before colouring and cutting it out. I also stamped the lamb directly onto the centre of the embossed panel. This little step helps keep all those fine details visible around the edges once the coloured image is added on top.

Before assembling the shaker, I sprinkled a small pile of sequins and star confetti onto the centre of the panel. I then removed the backing from the foam tape and carefully attached the shaker frame over the top. Once sealed, I gave it a shake to spread the sparkly elements around the design.

To finish the card, I attached the shaker panel to the silver layer, added a festive sentiment and embellished it with a few die-cut snowflakes cut from glittered cardstock.

I love how this card combines texture, sparkle and movement, and the sweet Christmas Lamb makes it perfect for sending festive wishes to family and friends.

Happy crafting!

✨ Design Team Spotlight ✨

We’re shining a light on Diane Williams and her stunning 12” x 12” scrapbook page created using the Diamond Collection

Diane built this striking layout on a dramatic black background, allowing the warm autumnal tones of Marigold and Burnt Orange Foundation Card to really pop. The geometric design created with the Plain Diamonds, Postage & Dash Diamonds, and Honeycomb Diamonds gives the page a bold and modern feel, while still leaving plenty of room for treasured photos.

The layered white diamond frames create the perfect focal areas, beautifully balanced with clusters of Sunflowers and elements from the Bee Meadow Die & Stamp Set. Moss Green Crushed Velvet Paper adds gorgeous texture through the leaves, while touches of Black Onyx Gemstone Glitter enhance the bee and honeycomb details with subtle sparkle.

This scrapbook page is full of warmth, texture, and dimension—perfect for capturing happy memories in a creative and eye-catching way.

Would you use bold black backgrounds in your scrapbook layouts?

Stay creative,
