Grungy Vintage Card featuring the Positive Thoughts stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I’m using one of my favourite stamp sets today, Positive Thoughts.

I was going for something simple but with grungy vintage vibe combining Rococco Rose and Early Espresso!

The coordinating dies include this gorgeous panel which I emphasised with some soft blending.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I made my original sample using Pool Party. I think this would also work with Mint Macaron, Petal Pink or So Saffron… What do you think?

And here they are side by side. Do you have a favourite?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Sam’s Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is for a Facebook colour challenge!

Aren’t they gorgeous!

I knew I wanted use flowers and settled on the Small Bloom Punch.

The background was made using the Many Medallions die. The coordinating stamp set, Many Mates, was used for the sentiment.

I also used the Stamparatus tool to create this multicoloured sentiment.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Vellum sprigs and clear rhinestones completed the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Creating with the Tasteful Touches stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Lots of texture going on with today’s card.

I used Mint Macaron as the main colour, it’s not my most favourite colour in the Stampin’ Up! family but looks good with the black and white elements.

I made my original sample with a Blushing Bride layer over the front of a white card base.

I wonder which you prefer?

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I love the glitter ribbon and pearls as the finishing touches!

Clean & Simple card featuring the Sailing Home stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Clean and Simple is the order of the day today with these lovely sailing boats.

The stamp set has lots of detail so there is no colouring required if you don’t want to. I have used a damp brush to pull some the colour from the line art.

Die cutting the images was made so easy with the magnetic cutting plate, and it keeps your dies safe until you put them away!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I made the original sample using a Basic Gray colour scheme.

Here are the two side by side, which do you like best?

Mini Catalogue Card Swap – What did I make?

Hello Everyone,

One of great things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is sharing creativity and ideas both with my customers and the rest of the team.

At each catalogue launch we do a card swap… By exchanging cards we share ideas, discover new techniques, and sometimes realise there’s something we didn’t see in the catalogue!

See how I made my batch of cards, you may be surprised at which stamp bundle was used….

The Shimmery White card stock is so pretty in real life!

Arranging a Springtime Wreath

Hello Everyone,

It may be turning chilly with autumn approaching, but I thought I’d make a little reminder of the bright colours of spring!

I’ve used the Stamparatus tool to stamp the wreath, first in Granny Apple Green ink and then again with versamark.

By heat embossing with clear powder, a glazed look can be achieved.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Here’s a close up of the glazed wreath and the shaped flowers!

This is the Christmas version…

And here they are together. Just shows how versatile this set can be.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Celebrating Tina

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is dedicated to my wonderful friend and downline Tina, who sadly passed away in August.

She loved life, loved colour, loved flowers, especially Sunflowers.

This is us at Onstage Live last November. We had so much fun!

I wanted to make something that reminded me of Tina to keep on my craft desk.

Lots of colouring and die cutting for this one to create a stunning dimensional piece.

See how I made this very special card in my video tutorial….

She wasn’t a blingy person, but I could resist some champagne rhinestones and Wink of Stella.

And here is where I am keeping it.

Always in my thoughts.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
