Sometimes something as simple as a shared cup of tea can be a great way to say thank you. When I saw this set “Cup of Tea” in the new catalogue I knew I wanted it. A cup of tea is ingrained in British culture. How many problems, how many things have been set straight over a cup of tea?

Oh my, I love these cute little ladybirds. They stamp beautifully and are so easy to put together. I’ve added little white accents on the ladybirds using a white gel pen. They really lift the whole image and make them pop. Sometimes it’s just a small detail that really makes or breaks a card. I do quite a bit of art journaling and am always using my white gel pen so thought I would into my cardmaking as well.

How To Make a Card with Multiple Shaker Pockets

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we have been looking at all things shaker cards. Today the focus has been on multiple shaker pockets on one card.

I used the layering circle dies to create these three windows. You could of course do any shape you wanted but I stuck to circles here. One tip is to remove the backing on the foam strips before you apply them as they are much easier to manipulate then. Also, mark where your windows will fall on the background before you apply any adhesive. It will make your life so much easier. I didn’t and yes I still managed, but learn from my mistakes.

  • Coastal Cabana Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.35cm X 9cm

I love how this card turned out. The contrast between light, dark, bold and bright really works. The colours are Poppy Parade, Basic Black and Basic White and they all compliment each other perfectly. I was tempted to add more embellishments but I think it would distract rather enhance this card.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

I haven’t used this stamp set in ages. Not sure why as it is such a lovely set. I love this really big sunflower and of course, it has a matching die. I stamped this sunflower in Daffodil Delight. It wasn’t as vibrant as I wanted it to be so I decided to use Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to add more detail. It really makes a huge difference.

Welcome to the latest post in my Friday Focus series. Today we are looking at making a shaker card with no dimension. As you know in April we have been looking at things Shaker Cards. I’ve used the heart punch pack to create this little shaker window.

The Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) is Valentine’s paper but I think it works perfectly for this birthday card. I love all the shades of red and pink. So pretty and of course fun to make.

I’ve made this style of gift box before. This time I’ve changed it up a totally different colour combo. I love this style and I really think it looks super cute. The Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) used here is classified as Valentine’s paper but I think it can be used for any occasion. Hearts are not just for Valentine but for any day of the year.

As you will know I love tulips. These fields of tulips would be a dream to see in real life. In 2017 Stampin’ Up! had their On Stage Live in Amsterdam in the Spring. I got to see some lovely tulips in Amsterdam but not in the countryside. Wonder day I would love to return and visit the beautiful gardens of Keukenhof and see all the wonderful spring flowers.

This card came together very easily thanks to the Stamparatus which made positioning everything a doddle. I stamped on a larger panel and cut it down to size.

Welcome to this “Friday Focus” post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things Shaker Cards. Today’s card is what I would call a standard shaker card. It uses foam strips and tape to create a shaker card. It has dimension and shakes beautifully.

I’ve not used these shaker shapes in the shaker before. They have been sitting in my stash for the last year and at last, they are seeing the light of day. They are great, bright and fun.

This card uses the gorgeous Hand-Penned suite of products. Specifically, I’ve used the designer series paper (DSP) & Memory and More Cards. The Memory & More cards are not just for pocket scrapbooking, they work great for cardmaking as well.

I’ve inked the edges of everything. This helps each layer pop from the other. The sentiment is a sticker but I’ve popped it up with dimensional to make it stand out against everything else.
