More Thoughtful Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I just love this stamp set and punch! There are so many colour combinations I want to try. This combo was suggested by the SU colour challenge Facebook group!

Merry Merlot, Lovely Lipstick, Sahara Sand & Granny Apple Green.

I started with Granny Apple Green, stamping the leaf clusters over some Whisper White card stock.

Merry Merlot was used to add the small flowers to the open stems. The spaces were filled with the tiny elements in the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink.

Lovely Lipstick and Sahara Sand card stock was added to a white card base. The stamped panel was trimmed down and adhered with dimensionals.

The blooms were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and punched out. Champagne rhinestones were added to the centres.

The sentiment was die cut using the Ornate Frames set. This was adhered with dimensionals.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Thank You Blooms

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper. This time teamed with the Thoughtful Blooms Sale-a-bration stamp set and matching punch.

The topper is made simply, layering the paper with Cherry Cobbler card stock. This was added to a Petal Pink layer with dimensionals before adhering to a white card base.

Cherry Cobbler ink was used to stamp the sentiment and blooms. Petal Pink ink was added to the flowers to coordinate with the DSP. The sentiment was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly set and the blooms were punched out.

The elements were assembled on to the card front. Champagne rhinestones were added to the flowers to finish.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for this week’s CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

This is quite different from my usual makes, but I am very pleased with how it turned out.

For the topper Basic Grey card stock was cut to size. The sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set was added in black ink.

Other elements from the set were stamped on to Whisper White card stock and die cut.

The pieces were adhered to the card with glue and dimensionals.

Some champagne rhinestones were added to the butterfly for some extra sparkle.

Label Me Bold

Hello Everyone,

For my first project of 2020, I just had to use this stamp set, Label Me Bold. This is exactly the kind of set I love to work with.

Each panel was wrapped with seam binding ribbon and adhered to a coordinating card base.

A vellum label was punched and secured over the ribbon.

A sentiment was stamped and fussy cut then added with mini dimensionals.

More Yuletide Cheer

Hello Everyone,

This card was made completely spontaneously using supplies I had with me whilst crafting with my team.

I wouldn’t normally use so many stamp sets on one project but look how lovely it is!

The card design is reasonably self explanatory, building the background with the images as shown in the photo. The gold snowflakes were a late addition but really help tie the layout together.

A Stitched circle die was used the cut the sentiment which adhered with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set, so I created this simple card.

Some little dots from the Beauty and Joy set we’re added to fill in the background.

Cherry Cobbler Ink was added to the edge of the card stock before adhering to the card base.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

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.
