Come Under My Umbrella – Friendship – Card Tutorial – Independent Stampin’ Up! Tutorial based in Lincoln UK.

I think this card came out so cute. I’ve stamped on designer series paper (DSP) here. It really works. The sentiment matches the wellies and umbrella perfectly. The umbrella has a matching punch and I fussy cut out the wellies. It is really easy to do. I brought the yellow into the rest of the card with the Playing with Patterns resin dots. My favourite bit though is the little butterfly sitting on the handle of the umbrella.

How to make a Monochromatic Card

This card only uses ink, paper and card. The colour is Terracotta Tile. It is one of the 2019 – 2021 in colours that retires this year. I am trying to use these colours and enjoy them before they retire. I’ve used my favourite blending brushes to create a background that fades to white. I’ve then stamped over with the same colour using the Corner Bouquet stamp set. I like the effect. The rhinestones just give it that special something.

How many of you search Pinterest for inspiration? Yes, I’ve fallen down that rabbit hole. I saw this project on there and adapted it to my own style. I hope you like it. This designer series paper (DSP) is Berry Delightful. It’s beautiful and reminds me of summer. Personally, I can’t wait for summer. Do you grow any fruit? We do grow vegetables but not fruit, perhaps this year we might try some strawberries.

measurements

  • Berry Delightful 8 1/2″ X 8″ scored on
    • 8 1/2″ side at 2″, 4″ to the scoreline, 6″, 8″ to the scoreline
    • 8″ side at 2″

Recently, sadly I needed to make a sympathy card. I decided to share this with you in case you are in the same situation. I was unsure how to go about designing such a card, so I went for simple and easy. The stamp set is actually one I just acquired during Sale-a-bration. I didn’t think I would use it, but there you go. The designer series paper (DSP) is Paper Blooms which is absolutely gorgeous. It gives the perfect backdrop to the sentiment.

Measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Paper Blooms DSP – 14.35cm X 10cm

This is a really good size box that would be useful not only as a gift box but also as a storage box. The paper is gorgeous isn’t? It is the Flower & Field designer series paper which is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration. There is very little wastage with this box as the belly band is made using the left over cardstock from making the base.

Measurements

  • Just Jade cardstock – 10″ X 10″ scored at 2″ on all sides
  • Field and Flower Designer Series Paper – 8 1/16″ X 8 1/16″, scored at 1″ on all sides.
  • 2″ strips of Just Jade Cardstock – Left over from cutting the base piece

I really love how this card turned out. The two step stamping is quite sketchy and it looks good. I’ve used this set before and coloured it in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It gives a totally different effect and makes this set so versatile. The colour here is Melon Mambo and is my favourite pink colour of all time. It’s so bold, bright and utterly beautiful to me. I have quite a few embellishments which I don’t alway use, hence the sequins. They look great don’t they?

measurements

  • Thick Basic White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Melon Mambo designer series paper – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Basic White – 9.5cm X 8cm

Oh wow, I simply love this card. It has such a wow factor and it’s so easy to do. The background is just one stamp that I have heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Don’t you love it? Heat embossing can be such a forgotten technique and yet it is magic everytime you see it. This dull powder turning to something beautiful, just like here. I heat embossed the sentiment so that everything matches. So simple and yet so elegant.

Always Together, Yours Forever - Special Card - Forever & Always Stamp Set  - Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.
Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a beautiful but simple card, that is perfect for Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary. It is very easy to put together as I have used adhesive sheet on the back of the sentiment before I cut them out. The stamp set is Forever and Always. I love it as it has this big bold sentiment and matching dies. The dies will cut out the words love and always without the need for stamping as well. So versatile. The ribbon is the new Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon and it’s stunning.

  • Blackberry Bliss A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm

When I first saw this stamp set I wasn’t in love but I’ve changed my mind after making this card. It turned out so cute!! It is one of the free sets from Sale-a-bration. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The little pop of red in the image just lifts the whole image.

This stamp set is A Touch of Ink. It is one of the items I earned free during Sale-a-bration. During Sale-a-bration you get to earn a free item when you spend more than £45.00. This set makes for a great one layer card. I coloured everything in using the wonderful Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. They make colouring in such a joy and the blending is so easy.
