How to Use the Flowers & Friendship – Thank You

How to Use the Flowers & Friendship – Thank You Card – Independent Stampin Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

A really simple design. I find I am using lots of banners and strips of paper in my cards now days. This is a great way to use up scraps and not waste anything. I’ve coloured these lovely flowers using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The colour is Blackberry Bliss and really pops against the white.

Making a Large Gift Bag – No Cutting Needed

Making a Large Gift Bag – No Cutting Needed – Hydrangea Hills – Fine Art Floral – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this type of bag quite a few times. It is great if you are new to paper crafting or to do with children as no cutting is required. This bag uses a full piece of 12″ X 12″ paper / cardstock and makes a good size bag. The paper I’ve used here is the Hydrangea Hills designer series paper (DSP). It is so pretty. More importantly is that it has no specific direction which is important if you don’t want part of your image to be upside down.

Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas

Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas – Hydrangea Hill / Haven. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I loved the Hydrangea Hill suite of products from the moment I saw them. This paper is beautiful. I have always loved hydrangeas. My mother had a huge pink one in the garden when I was growing up and we still have them in our garden now. I love the big blooms. They aren’t shy and very much a show stopper.

How to Make a Tall Square Box with a Lid

How to Make a Tall Square Box with a Separate Lid – Well Suited – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

These are really good size gift boxes. They are super easy to make I promise you. I did struggle to see the score lines when I was filming the box on the left. Oh boy!! I couldn’t see those pesky lines for love nor money. I tilted the paper and actually marked them with my pencil off camera. Did it though. The paper is quite masculine as it is the Well Suited designer series paper (DSP). I gave it a little extra touch with the punched flowers and red rhinestones.

Introducing Polished Pink – Birthday Card

Introducing Polished Pink – Birthday Card – Pretty Perennials – Perennial Dies – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Polished Pink is one of the new in-colours that goes live in May this year. It is not one of the “pinkiest” pinks you have ever seen. I love how bold and bright is. This card also uses two of the other new in-colours, Soft Succulent ( the DSP) and Evening Evergreen (the cardbase).

I love how all these colour work so well together. They just pop and make me happy. The rhinestones as the flower centres are the perfect finishing touches.

Using the Beautiful Brushstrokes Die Set

Using the Beautiful Brushstrokes Die Set – Brushed Blooms – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love this die that cuts these windows of paint swatches. The designer series paper (DSP) is the Fine Floral and I think it also looks like a flaming sunset. The sentiment makes me laugh as I am definitely not someone who likes to stay out late. The cutouts from the black paint swatch dies have been saved for a future card as well.

Snail it!! How to use it to make a Gatefold Card

Snail it!! How to use it to make a Gatefold Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

As you may know I’m not a fan of fancy fold cards. Having said that, I’m trying to push myself our of my comfort zone and do more. This turned out quite well I think. The card is kept closed using a magnet hidden behind the sentiment. Pink and red are not colours that people put together very often but if done well as here, it looks good.

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.
