Postage Stamp Punch Window card

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

This idea entered my head from somewhere…. I wanted to create a window look with the Postage Stamp punch!

I then had to work out how to do it….

I decided to use the Ornate Style stamp set for the focal image, which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

Which colour way do you prefer?

See how I make this card in my video tutorial;

May SU Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I made this card ages ago and completely forgot to share it!

I have to different ink blending methods to create this project.

I also used the amazing Tropic Chic stamp set which is sadly retiring. To achieve the gradient colour on the leaves, I used the Stamparatus tool, inking and stamping each image twice.

Here is video showing how to create a blended background!

Beautiful Bouquet vs Colourful Seasons

Hello Everyone,

Today is the final day of my doubling up week, I hope you have liked what I have sharing with you.

For this post I am using the same colour combo with two different stamp sets!

The first uses Beautiful Bouquet and the coordinating dies.

I started with a Grapefruit Grove card base and added layers of Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White card stock.

Flowers and leaves were stamped and die cut ready to add to the card. The sentiment was stamped with Soft Suede ink and die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly die set.

The elements were adhered to the card with dimensionals and a small bow was added.

My second card uses the same colours, but uses the Colourful Seasons stamp set instead. I do use the coordinating dies too but these are no longer available.

See how I created this card as it happened in the video below:

Peacock Duo

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today, it’s the Royal Peacock stamp set and matching dies with Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel retiring In Colours.

For the first card, the peacock was stamped with the assistance of the Stamparatus, first with Blueberry Bushel for the head and body and Call Me Clover for the tail.

The details were heat embossed with copper powder, (also retiring), and then die cut.

Some additional feathers were die cut to embellish the sentiment. This was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The second card is completely different!

Four large feathers were die cut from Blueberry Bushel card stock and adhered together to form an oval-ish shape.

Stitched Square dies were used to cut the green frame and the stamped sentiment.

A few rhinestones added some extra interest to the background.

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

With Deepest Sympathy

Hello Everyone,

It is a sad reality that not all the cards we make and send are for happy events. There is comfort however, that even at these sad times, a beautiful handmade card can be created.

I used a simple layout, starting by stamping a Whisper White card panel with an image from the Verdant Garden stamp set and Smoky Slate ink.

The panel was layered with Basic Grey card stock and some Polka Dot Tulle was wrapped around the middle. This was adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments set and was stamped with Smoky Slate ink. This was then die cut and also added to the card with dimensionals.

Birthday Bugs

Hello Everyone,

So this card turned out way better than I imagined it would!

The card features the retiring stamp set Wiggle Worm.

The little bugs were stamped with Memento ink so they could be coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I used Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight markers working from dark to light.

The body was coloured with Smoky Slate markers, with the dark marker used for the mouth.

Each was die cut and added to a layered card base in coordinating colours.

A sentiment was added with plain black ink and cut with the Label Me Fancy punch.

Lovely Lipstick Friendship Card

Hello Everyone,

Have you checked out the Last Chance products yet?

The new annual catalogue launches next month which means making room in the warehouse and retiring some products.

There are a few things to consider when looking at the list;

1. Bundles will retire, but may still be available as individual items in the new catalogue.

2. 2018 In Colours and anything with those colours included, (DSP, ribbon, embellishments etc.) will retire…. But don’t worry new colours are on the way!

3. Individual Stampin’ Blends markers will no longer be available.

You can view the retiring products here

So this card uses retiring items, Lovely Lipstick ink and card stock, Best Dressed DSP and the Honey Bee stamp set.

The DSP panel measures 2 by 5 inches and was adhered to Lovely Lipstick card stock cut 1/8 inch larger on both sides.

I adhered this panel to a preprepared card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set was stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies…. Thankfully these dies are staying, I use them so much!

A scattering of clear rhinestone jewels finished off the card.

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

Feel Good Wishes

Hello Everyone,

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily overlooked but I think it makes some incredibly lovely yet simple cards.

I cut the card layer a quarter inch smaller than usual and adhered this to a Rococo Rose card base.

Leaves were stamped with Soft Seafoam ink, with an additional image die cut and layered over the top.

The beautiful sentiment was added using Blackberry Bliss.

Some Champagne rhinestones completed the card.

You Are…..

Hello Everyone,

This has to be my favourite stamp set in the annual catalogue. I love the versatility it offers for so many occasions.

Today, I chose bright colours to brighten the day during the lockdown.

I stamped the leaves first. I used my Stamparatus to layer the inks, applying them to the stamp with a sponge dauber. I started with Bermuda Bay, wiped the stamp clean, then added Granny Apple Green. Each leaf was die cut ready to add to the card later.

A simple background was stamped on to a Whisper White card panel with Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo inks. This was secured to a Melon Mambo card base with snail adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped separately and cut with the Timeless Label punch. This and the die cut leaves were added with dimensionals.

Love & Happiness

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is a wedding card! The couple didn’t have an official colour scheme si I picked out this pretty Magnolia Lane designer series paper.

The paper was layered with Crumb Cake card stock with some vellum in between for a softened look.

The large magnolia was coloured with Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. This was then die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was taken from the Dandelion Wishes and cut using Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Healing Thoughts

Hello Everyone,

The trees and plants have started to come to life with the recent fair weather, so I created my own colourful garden for today’s project.

No layers or fussy cutting with this one. Just the beautiful Grace’s Garden bundle.

Fours sets of each of the flower images were stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Memento ink.

I used a selection of Stampin’ Blends to colour the images. I was thinking of roses, poppies, hyacinths and forget-me-nots!

The coloured images were die cut and adhered to a card base with dimensionals. Some had a double layer to create extra depth.

I added a healing thoughts sentiment which was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

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

For Violet

Hello Everyone,

This weekend, I received the sad news that a member of our Stampin’ Up! teammates had passed away after being infected with Coronavirus.

Violet was an amazing person, generous and supportive of everyone in the team. She had a great sense of humour too. We will miss her the next time we have a team event.

So this card was made with Violet in mind, I thought the sentiment was perfect.

I used a combination of Highland Heather and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends which worked out really well.

The wings were shaped slightly with a bone folder. To keep the shape, the wings were supported by dimensionals whilst the body was fixed to the card with multipurpose glue.

I used a Stitched So Sweetly die cut as a backdrop. This was adhered with dimensionals.

Highland Heather ink was used for the sentiment, also adhered with dimensionals.

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

More Honey Bees

Hello Everyone,

I couldn’t resist making another card with the Honey Bee bundle and Golden Honey DSP.

The card is made in a very similar way to one of my previous posts.

The topper was made by first cutting Crushed Curry card stock with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. A piece of white card stock was cut to size and adhered to the panel.

The sentiment was stamped next with black ink and also cut with a So Sentimental die.

The hive and bees were stamped and die cut with the coordinating dies.

The elements were positioned on the card before committing to adhering them to the card with dimensionals.
