Sunflowers Make Me Happy!! Card Share

Sunflowers Make Me Happy!! Card Share – Jar of Flowers Stamp Set – Shaker Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I don’t think anyone can deny sunflowers are gorgeous. They make you smile and a field of them is truly spectacular. I love watching the Tour de France each year and when they go through parts of France you see these glorious fields of sunflowers. A truly picture-perfect moment.

This card is a little shaker card using the mason jar shaker domes. I’ve coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know are one of my favourite colouring mediums. I find colouring so relaxing and had great fun making this card.

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels – Peaceful Moments Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Do any of you remember a series on Tv called Rainbow Brite. I had the doll and few other bits if I recall correctly. I think I also did a tapestry of her but not sure where that is now. Rainbows are magic to me. There is a scientific reason why they happen but to see one in the sky is magic.

In the new catalogue Stampin’ Up! brought out some soft pastels and I’ve been dying to play with them. They are beautifully soft and creamy. I blended them with water and then went over the image again with pastel to get a better blend. It is definitely a learning curve and I know I am going to have fun learning and playing more with these new colouring mediums.

Strawberries Anyone? How to Make a Fun Card?

Strawberries Anyone? How to Make a Fun Card? Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set & Punch – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Although I am writing this blog in June it will go out in July. The beginning of July heralds Wimbledon and of course strawberries & cream. I’ve already had some delicious strawberries this year. I’m not made about cream so had iced cream instead. We have some local pick your own strawberry farms here but with just my mother and I we wouldn’t be able to eat all we would pick in time.

Hello Friend – Make a Fun Card for a Special Friend

Hello Friend – Make a Fun Card for a Special Friend – Biggest Wish Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love this bright, bold and fun card. It is right up my alley. I cut two pieces of designer series paper to the same size and then cut them into triangles. Both pieces were cut at the same time so they were exactly the same size and cut in exactly the same place. The little Polished Pink gems on the sentiment look like little rivets to me holding it in place.

Make a Birthday Card with Me! Distress Style!!

Make a Birthday Card with Me! Distress Style!! – Very Versailles – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve always loved playing with ink and paint and enjoy mixed media art. This is my version of a mixed media card, Stampin’ Up! style. I find mixed media art so freeing as there is no mistakes, just more chances to be creative. There is right or wrong way, just what makes you happy and looks go to you. All crafting would make you happy but mixed media makes me especially happy.

How to make a more 3D effect Daisy – Punches

How to make a more 3D effect Daisy – Punches – Daisy Lane – Daisy Punch – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love yellow daisies. They look so happy and bright. My grandmother always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden back in South Africa. She used to pick some and have them in a little vase on the table.

I’ve mad this daisy look more 3D in a number of ways. The flower is actually four daisies of two sizes that I have punched out. They have then been run through an embossing folder and curled using a bone folder.

Hello Baby – Welcome to the World – Card Share

Hello Baby – Welcome to the World – Card Share – Wildly Adorable – New Baby Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln Uk.

Is this little one not the cutest thing ever? I love this stamp set. Normally I don’t really buy baby stamps as I have no kids but couldn’t resist this one. A cousin of mine back in South Africa is having a little girl soon and I thought of her when I was making this card. I wish I could send it home but alas the postal service is not very reliable in South Africa.

I Just Wanted to Say Thank You – Card – Art Gallery

I Just Wanted to Say Thank You – Card – Art Gallery – Two Step Stamping – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve used them a number of times and they are always the star of the show. In and around Lincoln I’ve been seeing lots of red poppies. This inspired me to do some red flowers for this card. The gilded gems for the flower centres are the perfect finishing touch.

Embossed Resist – How to with Blending Brushes

Embossed Resist – How to with Blending Brushes – Butterfly Brilliance – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.
