Feeling Blue! Make a Thank You Card & Smile

Feeling Blue! Make a Thank You Card & Smile – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve always loved the combination of pink and blue. I remember having two My Little Ponies, one was pink and one was blue and I always though they were perfect friends. Plaid Tidings is the paper here. I am using it all the time and why not when it it is so gorgeous. The pink in the paper is Melon Mambo and I’ve picked this up again with the mat around the sentiment.

I hope you are all keeping safe in the current conditions. As always I find that crafting is my saviour as it gives both my mind hands busy and when you are busy you can’t think. Not thinking is a bonus some days. Anyway enough of that and back to crafting.

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook- Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love my planners and quite a collection. I use my travellers notebook or TN to plan my Stampin’ Up! business. Of course, it has to pretty as well as functional. I enjoy making various dashboards and inserts for it and thought I would share this one with you.

The designer series paper (DSP) is Heartwarming Hugs. It is a good weight for paper and not flimsy. You could also use cardstock and then mat the DSP on to it. The journaling card is from the Wonder of the Season set and makes the perfect embellishment for this dashboard.

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up!

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Yes, it’s another card using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is just gorgeous. I’ve always loved tartan designs. I remember having some tartan kilts when I was a kid. I used to wear them with jumpers my mother knitted for me.

Tartan also reminds me of shortbread, which I love. My grandmother used to make the best shortbread ever. It was delicious and a special treat when we went back to South Africa for a visit.

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up!

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I really enjoyed creating this scene using my dies. I combined dies from two different sets, Freezin’ Fun and Special Day. We forget sometimes that dies don’t just have to be used with the matching stamp set but can be used with others to create something different.

I sponged all my die cuts with the matching ink to give them extra definition, shadows and allow them to really pop on the scene. My two favourite dies are the stitched rolling hill and the grass. They are just great.

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up!

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I’m really happy with how this card turned out and am planning to do it in my online card club soon. I’ve employed some basic colour theory here and gone with what I call our Stampin’ Up! primaries which are Daffodil Delight (yellow), Pacific Point (blue) and Real Red. As they are all primary colours I know they will work together and they really pop against this white background.

The dies coordinate with the stamp set and aptly named the Happy Dies. I love this big happy die cut that I’ve used as my focal image here. It really is big and bold which as you know I love.

This card is simple but elegant. The designer series paper (DSP) is Brightly Gleaming. It has carried over from last year’s Christmas catalogue. I love all the copper foiling and have picked this up in using come copper foil sheet to mat my sentiment on .

I think this is a perfect card to make in bulk. It takes a few minutes only to make but is stunning and of course handmade. I don’t work in an office anymore but this is definitely one I would have made as my office Christmas card.

Lovely Peonies – Make me Smile – Stampin’ Up!

Lovely Peonies – Make me Smile – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This lovely peony is from the Prized Peony stamp set, which itself is part of the Peony suite of products. I stamped in Smokey Slate to give a less harsh image. It’s coloured in using the Stampin’ Write markers in Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.

The sentiment is beautiful, ” Love & Thanks to a Dear Friend”. The sentiments Stampin’ Up! produce are lovely. They make me so happy.

See the Magic – Heat Embossed Balloon

See the Magic – Heat Embossed Balloon – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love the magic of heat embossing. I remember the awe the first time I did it. This dull powder turning into this glossy, metallic. beautiful colour. It is pure magic to me. I’ve used this stamp set before but wanted to use it again as I love the idea of the birthday sentiment enclosed in this balloon of flowers.

Do you not think this paper is gorgeous? It’s from Plaid Tidings and I am use this set of papers over and over again. They are such pretty patterns and so versatile for any occasion.

The paper here is the Peony Garden. It is a quite a pastel set of paper and therefore looks good against a dark background. I think the glittered black ribbon just make this box.
