Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it

Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it – Art Gallery – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. These flowers are so pretty. They were super easy to create using the Stamparatus. The stamp set is Art Gallery and it’s a two-step stamping set. Check out the video below for some tips & tricks for using the Stamparatus that make two-step stamping a breeze. Bermuda is my favourite colour and even though it may not be a typical colour for a flower I think they look amazing.

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat – A Wish for Everything – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was struggling to find an idea for a little gift box so I turned to good old Pinterest. I found an idea for box like this with a curved lid but boy oh boy did I struggle with what paper, what size I wanted it to be. In the end it turned out cute and it easy to make.

The lovely designer series paper (DSP) is “Well Suited” from the mini catalogue. I love this bright Poppy Parade red and it contrasts so well with the Night of Navy in the cardstock and little flowers. The paper flowers are made using the Small Blooms punch and mimic the little flowers in the DSP.

measurements

Night of Navy Cardstock – 6″ X 4 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ on each side.
Well Suited DSP – 6 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ at either end of the long side.
Night of Navy cardstock 3″ x 1 1/2″

Make a Card Special – Heat Embossed Sentiment

Make a Card Special – Heat Embossed Sentiment – Fine Art Floral Suite – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

There are no other words for it, this paper is simply gorgeous. It is the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP). The paper is busy and therefore if you did too much to it I feel it would detract from the beauty of the paper. I finished the card off with a simple white heat embossed sentiment from the accompanying stamp set, Art Gallery. It is matted on a strip of gold foil sheet for that elegant feel.

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This stamp set is “Happiest of Birthdays”. I’ve used it numerous times as I love the font and of course that fact that it’s big and bold. This card was made for a colour challenge. The colours we had to use were Night of Navy, Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot. This is a great card if you are a beginner crafter as all you really need is ink, stamps and paper. They are of course some of the basic tools of cardmaking.

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card – Dragonfly Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is made using the Dragonfly suite from the mini catalogue. Dragonflies are a favourite of my upline Amanda Fowler and I was thinking of her when I created this card. My favourite part of this card is the gorgeous rhinestones that I have used for the bodies of the dragonflies.

Gatefold cards are very easy to make as you are just scoring a normal cardbase slightly differently. The one dragonfly creates my closure so the card will still stand up.

So, I have a question for you. Which do you prefer dragonflies or butterflies? Let me know in the comments below. I think I am a butterfly girl as I love seeing them flittering among all the pretty flowers.

Make a Congratulations Card – Using your Scraps

Make a Congratulations Card – Using your Scraps – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card based on a sketch. All the banners are made from scraps of designer series. The Banners Pick a Punch makes this so easy. You can make banners of 3 different widths and any length. So easy to line up and layer. The stamp set is Handrawn Blooms. I’ve cut out using a circle die and spotlighted certain flowers in yellow. Spotlighting is quite an effective technique to make an element pop from its background.

How to Make an Elegant Butterfly Card

How to Make an Elegant Butterfly Card – Butterfly Bijou – Butterfly Gala – Independent Stampin Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card out so well. I was really struggling initially and tried many different things, but nothing looked good. I then had a lightbulb moment and here we have it. What do you think?

The background designer series paper (DSP) is from “In Good Taste”. I think it makes the butterflies look like they are sunning themselves on a warm wall. The black really makes everything pop. The rhinestones on their bodies give the card that wonderful bling.

Making a Milk Carton Style Gift Box with Clip Closure

Making a Milk Carton Style Gift Box with Clip Closure – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This project actually has no stamping in it. Shock, horror!! These little “milk cartons” are so cute and perfect for a little gift. The paper is the gorgeous “Flowers for Every Season”. I love the daisy pattern but of course the tulips trump them in my heart. The closure is a little bulldog clip. So dinky!!! The sentiment comes from the matching Memory & More cards. I just cut them out and stuck them on. Super easy.

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial – Rooted in Nature – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. It’s so simple but effective. The sentiment comes from the set “Rooted in Nature”. This is set that replaced our much loved but now retired “Lovely as a Tree” The little flowers in the corner are using the Small Bloom punch. To give it texture I used my stylus and piercing foam mat.

This card was also part of a colour challenge. The colours to be used were Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana & Terracotta Tile. I think they work well, don’t you?
