Pop of Petals Bookmark – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve not been feeling well this week so I wanted to make simple projects. I like how to this bookmark has turned out using the Pop of Petals stamp set.

I’ve used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss. They are all from the same area of the colour wheel so match beautifully. The Pop of Petals stamp set a huge variety of flowers with of course the matching punch. I didn’t want any dimension as this is a bookmark so I just used the stamp set.

The tiny flowers you can see above actually come as a trio of stamps joined together but I wanted to use them separately. Therefore, I cut them. Shock and horror you may think but it doesn’t damage the stamps and you can see stamp them altogether if you so wish.

measurements

  • Blackberry Bliss – 7 1/2″ X 3 1/2″
  • Whisper White – 7″ X 3″

I love stamping to make my own patterned paper. You can totally customise it to your own tastes rather than being constrained by other’s taste.

Bright and Fun Card – So Sentimental – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and fun card to share you today. Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove are the two colours here. I can unequivocally state these are not my favourite colours at all. I find each colour on its own a bit too much so I came up with this idea and I think it works well. What do you think?

The pop of black around the sentiment and the large sentiment itself, I think really help to pull the whole card together. What pleased me the most though, was that I got to use up some of my Happiness Blooms enamel dots in the matching colours.

If you hold card classes I think this is also a great idea. You don’t have to have enough of each paper to make a full card, you can mix and match and everyone still can make the same style card.

Happy Birthday To You Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have this simple and easy birthday cake card to share with you today using the Happy Birthday To You stamp set. This set is another of the freebies available during sale-a-bration. There is a matching set of dies but I don’t have those. I wanted to show you can still make beautiful things even if you don’t have dies.

Happy Birthday To You Card – Stampin’ Up!

The pink in this card is Lovely Lipstick. I’m so sad that is going to be retiring this year as I love it. It is such vibrant and beautiful pink. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love the coordination in that I can use Lovely Lipstick as an alcohol marker and as my designer series paper.

I’m really proud of myself as I’ve used nearly all the freebies I got in sale-a-bration rather than just letting them sit lonely and forgotten in my stash. It is my continuing goal to use what I buy instead of hoarding it.
