I have used the So Much Love stamp set, which you can get for free when you join Stampin’ Up! in September!

I was pleased with the final result, as I am no watercolour artist!


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

Creating a Background with The Right Triangle stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Where do you find inspiration?

The colours for this card came about whilst I was watching TV… I saw someone wearing a shirt with similar colours and this was what I created!

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

My original sample card used Rococco Rose, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight!

Which colour combo do you prefer?

The glitter ribbon is just gorgeous!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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!

You Mean Everything To Me

Hello Everyone,

I used this stamp set for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I had some other ideas on how to use it, and this is one of them.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial…

Embellishments can be customised with the Stampin’ Blends markers. I did this with the ribbon and the pearls for a fully coordinated look. They would have looked great left in white too!
