Double Emboss Resist featuring Dandelion Wishes

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project uses the emboss resist technique with a bit of a twist!

I love how it turned out!

See how I achieved this look by watching my video tutorial….

Using the direct to paper inking method gives a stronger, more solid colour to the background.

Here are both cards side by side for comparison.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

New Colour Combo with Beautiful Friendship stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Yellow! Not my favourite colour, but I know many of you do, so I’m using Daffodil Delight as my starting point today.

After rummaging through my other ink pads, I decided to team this with Just Jade, (originally this was going to be Pear Pizzazz but I changed my mind!) and Rococo Rose.

See all the stamping in my video tutorial….

The black ink of the sentiment really pops from the other bright colours in this design.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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.
