I saw someone do this on Pinterest and knew I wanted to do one for myself. Once I’d figured out the measurements it was very easy to put together. I love the little pocket on the front. So cute!!

This was a project we made in a recent card club. I host a monthly card line online in my Facebook Group. We gather together virtually once a month to have lots of crafty fun.

This card has a cute pocket on the front of the card to hold a tag or gift card. It’s therefore practical and decoration all in one. The cardbase and designer series paper (DSP) are both freebies I got from the current Sale-a-bration. You can get them free with every purchase over £45.00. Click here to see the current catalogues.

I love making cards that are little scenes. This card uses the Tree Lots Dies that I got as a freebie during Sale-a-bration. They match the Trees for Sale stamp set in the new mini catalogue. It is a Christmas set but I wanted to use the dies in a non Christmas way. I have a few customers who are involved with the Guides, Brownies and Scouts. This card was made with them in mind.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. I wanted to play this week with the large background stamp, ” Knit Together”. I’ve only used it once before. It’s a great stamp set. I’ve stamped it twice and then cut it apart to make these strips.

Perfect Pomegranate is a free hostess set available only during Sale-a-bration. I am so happy I managed to get it this year. It’s beautiful. I wasn’t sure how to use it and decided to just stamp. This was the result. I stamped my own patterned paper. This bag started as a blank piece of Basic White Cardstock. It amazes me what you can create just with stamping.

How to Use the Amazing Phrases Stamp Set

How to Use the Amazing Phrases Stamp Set – Create a Border – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Amazing Phrases is one of the free sets I got during Sale-a-bration. It has lots of sayings but I focused on the two words, amazing and hey. I stamped them around the edge of my paper to create this fun border for my focal sentiment. The card is very tonal but you could have equally stamped in versamark and heat embossed in the colour of your choice.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock A6 Card base. This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Fresh Freesia – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love how this card turned out. I used the Timeless Tile background stamp to give some tonal interest in the background. The background was too plain otherwise for my tastes. This is a Focus Friday card. This month we have been looking at using background and large stamps in our cardmaking.

This is a very clean and simple design. I love the Uniquely Artistic stamp set. It is a two-step stamping set. The stamp set is a photopolymer one so it is easy to line everything up. It’s summer!! For me, bright colours and flowers are a symbol of summer.

Welcome back to this Focus Friday post. We have been looking at Background / Large Stamps during July. I’ve used this background stamp, ” Rays of Light” to create a background / stamped background. The stamp creates your background with one stamp. I’ve not added much to it as it is so busy already. The sentiment is from Go to Greetings and is a great set with a variety of sentiments and fonts.
