Hand-Penned – How to Make an easy Floral Card

Hand-Penned – How to Make an easy Floral Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I made this cute card to send to a friend who just went into hospital now in April when I’m writing this. I will have this to her by the time this goes live and wanted to share it with you.

This is the Hand-Penned suite of products from Stampin’ Up! and it is new in the new annual catalogue. If you don’t have a copy of the catalogue and want one, then just click here to request one. This suite has a glorious stamp set, matching dies and of course pretty paper. I’ve used them all on this card. It is a two-step stamp set which the Stamparatus makes a doddle to use.

I love the new colour Pale Papaya. In South Africa where my mother’s family reside we call papaya, pawpaw so you will most probably hear me refer to it like that from now on.

How to use Watercolour Pencils – Little Birdie

How to use Watercolour Pencils – Little Birdie – Etched in Nature – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I attended in April an online Stampin’ Up! event. We had to make a card using the Etched in Nature stamp set and this was my take on it. I stamped this cute bird using the Stazon Saddle Brown ink. Watercolour pencils are one of my favourite colouring mediums and I had fun colouring this birdie in. I took my time and dried my image between each layer so that colours didn’t over mix.

The shimmery white cardstock is great for watercolouring. You could also use the fluid 100 watercolour paper but I would recommend watercolouring on basic white. You need a cardstock that can take the water with out pilling.

How to – Bright & Fun Birthday Card Tutorial

How to – Bright & Fun Birthday Card Tutorial – Pretty Perennials – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. The black frames make the whole card really pop. The centre panel is all hand stamped. I’ve used two shades of yellow as well as Calypso Coral for the sentiment. The little champagne rhinestones as flower centres just finish the whole card off nicely.

Making a Simple Sympathy Card – Hand Penned

Making a Simple Sympathy Card – Hand Penned – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a pretty card for a very sad occasion. My mother unfortunately had the need to send a sympathy card recently and this is what I came up with for her to send.

It uses the pretty Hand-Penned designer series paper (DSP) that is in the new catalogue. It has this lovely and light feel to it. Of course, there are matching stamps and dies in the suite. I love the sketchy watercolour feel. The sentiment is from an old favourite of mine “Peaceful Moments”. I am so glad it didn’t retire in May as I use it all the time. If you want to request a new catalogue just click here.

Snail Love – Snail Mail – A Card for Love

Snail Love – Snail Mail – A Card for Love – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

How cute are these? Oh my, if the snails in my garden were this cute I would invite them all to stay. One of these snails are fussy cut and one is cut with the dies, both from the designer series paper (DSP). I love the cute little toadstools. These are cut out of Real Red cardstock and then I added some white to give them this cute look.

The little heart between the two snails just as that lovely extra cute effect. The strip of Real Red is actually ribbon and gives these two snails somewhere to sit rather just floating around.

Beauty of Friendship – How to use this Suite

Beauty of Friendship – How to use this Suite – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Beauty of Friendship suite is one of the gorgeous suite of products we could preorder. The paper has quite an autumnal feel to it but this piece of paper is this beautiful blue. I was inspired by the cherry blossom I’ve been seeing all over Lincoln when I made this card. This year the blossom hasn’t lasted as long as usual but there have still been some pretty trees.

Happiest of Birthdays – How to Use Larger Stamps

Happiest of Birthdays – How to Use Larger Stamps – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these big sentiment stamps. This one is from Happiest of Birthdays. They make for easy and simple cards. I’ve used this one a few times and stepped it up with heat embossing. I will link some of the projects below.

The lilac colour is one of the new in-colours in the catalogue. It’s called Fresh Freesia and it’s so pretty. It is the same colour in the pansy patterned paper and cardstock.

Make a Swatch Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up!

Make a Swatch Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK. – Brushed Blooms – Happiest of Thoughts

Isn’t this frame gorgeous? It is from the Ornate Layers die set. I’m ashamed to say this has sat in my stash for the last year unused. Silly me as it’s so pretty. I’m definitely going to be using this more in the future. The paint swatch in the background is from Brushed Blooms. I stamped in once and did second and third generation stamping to create this effect.

Make an Easy Birthday Card with Alcohol Markers

Make an Easy Birthday Card with Alcohol Markers – True Love DSP – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The designer series paper is “True Love”. It is a black and white design, which allows you to colour it in or leave it as it is. The choice is yours. I’ve coloured the flowers in here using the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend alcohol marker. As you know I love colouring in and this was great fun for me. One world of caution though, when you first colour you will see the pattern from the reverse side emerge but it disappears again when the colour dries.

How to Make a Matchbox Style Treat Box

How to Make a Matchbox Style Treat Box – Hand-Penned – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I recently went to Poundland, the first time in ages and I saw these cute little love hearts. They are a perfect little treat in this simple matchbox style treat box. The designer series paper is the pretty Hand-Penned paper. It has a light, watercolour and sketch feel to it. Perfect for a variety of occasions. These treat boxes would be so cute as table or party favours. In my day we would have them in our goodie bags at children’s parties. I believe someone people call them loot bags. I hate that terminology. It sounds so vulgar.
