Spruce Wreath

Hello Everyone,

This stamp set has to be one of my favourites from the Autumn Winter catalogue.

Shaded Spruce ink was used to stamp the wreath on to a white card base. The “berries” were added using Real Red ink.

The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with Stitched Circle die. This was adhered in the centre of the wreath with dimensionals.

A bow was tied from Shaded Spruce Gold striped ribbon and added to the bottom.

Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would share this non traditional Christmas card design with you today.

The colour combination I used is Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry.

Whisper White card stock was coloured through a decorative mask using Stampin’ Sponges.

Before removing the mask, versamark ink was pressed over the panel. (The ink pad will get stained, so using an older pad might be a good idea).

I applied some clear embossing powder and heat set this to give a shiny design. This was adhered to a white card base.

A sentiment was added using Rich Razzleberry ink.

The stars were heat embossed with silver powder and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

On Stage live 2019

Hello Everyone,

It’s Monday and back to the day job after spending a wonderful few days with my Stampin family at On Stage live in Germany.

Thankfully we had a contingency of German speakers who were so helpful when it came to getting around and translating menus!

Thank you so much lovely ladies!

One of the best things is meeting up with other team members, Hillery drove in from the Netherlands for her first On Stage.

It is amazing to see so many Stampers in the same room! And boy they are noisy!

I was recognised for Leadership and Recruiting with these ribbons.

And my Prize Patrol gift was this beautiful tropical set ready for the Summer!

It was an honour to see Sophie walk the stage for her achievements.

And here is the incredible Sam getting her hug from Shelli!

Sam also presented to the audience… The Pootlers were extra noisy to alleviate her nerves.

Sean was only too happy to be the cameraman for the stream of people wanting a picture with Sara and Shelli!

It was a blast!

And of course we got to see the new mini catalogue, with presentations through the day from other demonstrators from across Europe.

Another first timer… Leah who did eventually pluck up the courage to give out her swaps.

And this is my wonderful downline Tina! She had an amazing time at her first live event!

I would love to take even more team members to the next event – if that sounds good to you, click below to see more information.

Ho Ho Ho

Hello Everyone,

This card really shows how beautifully Stampin’ Up! colours match across the product range… Ink, paper and card stock!

A Garden Green card base was layered with a strip of Very Vanilla, Garden Green card stock and a scrap of Toile Tidings DSP.

I didn’t measure these, I just used off cuts and trimmed to the correct width.

Garden Green ink was used to stamp the sentiment and trees on to Very Vanilla card stock. These were adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Hello Everyone,

Toile Tidings

Hello Everyone,

It seems that we are already hurtling through November so during this busy period quick cards are the order of the day.

These feature the Toile Tidings papers in traditional Real Red and, Garden Green.

The card base was made the coordinating card stock colour.

The Designer Series Paper was layered on to a Very Vanilla card layer and then to the card base with snail adhesive.

I picked out a, sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Matching ink was used to stamp on to Whisper White card stock in contrast to the Vanilla.

The sentiment was cut with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch and adhered to a 2-1/4 inch circle of vellum. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

A bow was tied from matching ribbon and secured with glue dots.

This is the Garden Green version. On this card I moved the sentiment to the side and added some metallic pearls.

Silhouette Deer

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I used a combination of mask and ink blending to create a background.

Using post-it notes, I masked off a section of card stock.

Pacific Point was added next along the top, then Highland Heather along the bottom.

The deer and sentiment were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Shimmer Black powder.

A Stitched Rectangle Die was used to cut the panel. This, was adhered to a card base that had been stamped with snowflakes in Silvery Shimmer Ink.

Inspire.Create #054

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

This challenge was the perfect excuse to use the Christmas Layers Die.

I originally thought I would use white on white but the detail didn’t shine as much as I wanted.

Instead I chose a super bright background and sponged the card stock with Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment was also stamped with Melon Mambo Ink.

Stitched Rectangles dies were used to cut the sentiment and some vellum.

These were adhered with dimensionals and embellished with Melon Mambo glitter enamel dots.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

At Christmas Time

Hello Everyone,

Here we go with another super simple Christmas card.

The border stamps from the Christmas Countdown set were stamped across a Whisper White card layer using Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler inks. A grid mat helps to keep everything straight.

The sentiment from the host stamp set, Greatest Part of Christmas, was added with Cherry Cobbler ink.

The layer was adhered to Crumb Cake card stock and then added to a Whisper White card base.

Mixed Metallics

Hello Everyone,

Something non traditional for Christmas…. What about this? And it couldn’t be easier to make.

No card layers were used for this one, so I used the Stamparatus just in case the images didn’t stamp well the first time.

I actually positioned the sentiment first, inking this with Golden Glitz pigment ink.

The trees were stamped with Silvery Shimmer pigment ink – this definately benefitted from a second layer of ink.

And that is it! Nothing else added… Of course, that doesn’t stop you adding whatever embellishments you like!

Starry Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

This week I’ll be sharing some super simple cards that can be made quickly and easily.

For this card, the star is the most complicated element, but this can sped up using the Stamparatus if required.

For the two tone look, the decorative image was stamped first with Real Red ink.

The outline was stamped next with versamark and then heat embossed with gold powder.

The coordinating dies were used to cut the image.

The sentiment was added to a white card base with Real Red ink and the star adhered with dimensionals.
