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.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

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!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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.

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 picked Have a Hoot and the coordinating Peek a Hoot dies to work with.

I used the tags die in the set to create these apertures in Crumb Cake cardstock and stamped this with Crumb Cake ink.

This was used to mark a piece of Whisper White, identifying where the owls would be stamped. I used the Stamparatus to position the stamps.

The images were stamped again on a separate sheet for colouring and die cutting.

Pool Party ink was applied to the white cardstock before colouring the tree branches. (No need to colour the owls at this point).

This was adhered behind the Crumb Cake apertures, then onto a piece of Real Red cardstock before adding to a Crumb Cake card base.

The owls were coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers before die cutting. They were adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Finally, Real Red ink was used to stamp a sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The video tutorial for this project will be available tomorrow, do stop by again then!
