I love that the sentiments in this set match the images perfectly. You can pile anything you want into this trolley. Below is an example of a trolley filled with flowers. Perfect!! You can use any little images you have in your stash.

I’ve used the Wink of Stella clear pen to sparkle the trolley frame. The plain cardstock looks like metal. Do you agree?

How to Make an Easy Circular Card That Stands Up

How to Make an Easy Circular Card That Stands Up – Fluffiest Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I made this card using the Deckled Circle dies. This card does stand up. Watch the video below to see it in action. This cute kitty is from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set. I coloured him using the Stampin’ Write Markers and a blender pen. It is not a method of colouring I use often and I wanted to revisit this technique. It can become easy to get stuck in a rut and just colour using Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers all the time.

Remember!!

Check your circle die will fit in the envelope you want to use before you start. I scored at 1cm hinge on one of the circle pieces. I used Thick Basic White Cardstock to make my card sturdy.

I’m so glad so much of the Lighter Than Air suite has carried over into the main catalogue. The stamps, dies and embellishments carried over, it’s great! This is a simple design with lots of layering elements.

The hot air balloon is a two-step stamping set. We made this card at a recent club and everyone had fun choosing their colours for the balloon. I made this card in a different colour way below. Which do you prefer?

I’m back with another floral card. This one features the Simply Zinnia stamp and die bundle. This card is bright and happy. I’ve kept the colour palette limited to green, yellow and orange and they all work together well.

The image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Remember always to use Memento Tuxedo Black when using these markers instead of Stazon. Another tip is to ensure the ink is dry before you start colouring. This limits the chance of the ink bleeding.

I only coloured in the focal image. This spotlights the image and makes it pop. The magnolia is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I combined Berry Burst and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and Granny Apple Green for the foliage.

I do love magnolias. They were a joy to see in the streets and gardens this Spring. They made me smile, and this card reminded me of that.

I love all the tones of purple on this card. Aren’t they gorgeous? This is a simple design. It has the “WOW” factor with minimal effort. I don’t have much of the Perennial Lavender paper left. I needed to find a way to stretch my supplies. It is paired here with some Fresh Freesia cardstock. The small strip of glimmer paper brings the whole design together.

If you are wondering about that butterfly, it’s a pre-made die-cut from the Paper Butterfly Accents set. It’s so pretty, don’t you agree?

This card continues the theme of saying goodbye to the 2022 – 2024 in-colours. The colours featured here are Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet. I am going to miss them. They are gorgeous.

The Mini Envelope Pocket die cuts out this cute little pocket. It will fit a gift card or a tag. I’ve made it my focal point here with the tag for a hidden message.
