How to Make a Matchbox Style Treat Box

How to Make a Matchbox Style Treat Box – Hand-Penned – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I recently went to Poundland, the first time in ages and I saw these cute little love hearts. They are a perfect little treat in this simple matchbox style treat box. The designer series paper is the pretty Hand-Penned paper. It has a light, watercolour and sketch feel to it. Perfect for a variety of occasions. These treat boxes would be so cute as table or party favours. In my day we would have them in our goodie bags at children’s parties. I believe someone people call them loot bags. I hate that terminology. It sounds so vulgar.

Snailed It – Cute Little Card to Say Hello

Snailed It – Cute Little Card to Say Hello – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love the Snail Mail suite of products from the mini catalogue. The images are fun and cute. The designer series paper (DSP) is bright and bold, very much my style.

I coloured in the smail mail and toadstools with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I used the colours in the DSP to guide my colouring. Do you still love to receive actual post as apposed to digital stuff. There is something special about receiving a card or letter through the post. Perhaps I’m old fashioned but I still love this personal touch.

Make a Cute Cover for A Notebook / Lists

Make a Cute Cover for A Notebook / Lists – Well Suited DSP – Cat Punch – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

This is so easy to make. It’s a lovely little notebook to keep your bag for notes, shopping lists or even your Stampin’ Up! wish list. I love notebooks, planners and journals and have quite a collection. You always need a pretty notebook for a new project. You can make a couple of these from a sheet of A4 cardstock so they are quite economical as well.

Snail Mail – Make a Cute Greetings Card with Love

Snail Mail – Make a Cute Greetings Card with Love – Snailed it – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Snail Mail suite of products in the min catalogue is so cute. The main selling point for me was that the dies not only cut out the matching stamp set but also these dinky snails from the designer series paper (DSP). My favourite thing in the whole collection, though is this cute little envelope with the heart. It was cut with the matching dies, using up scraps of cardstock.

Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it

Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it – Art Gallery – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. These flowers are so pretty. They were super easy to create using the Stamparatus. The stamp set is Art Gallery and it’s a two-step stamping set. Check out the video below for some tips & tricks for using the Stamparatus that make two-step stamping a breeze. Bermuda is my favourite colour and even though it may not be a typical colour for a flower I think they look amazing.

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat – A Wish for Everything – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was struggling to find an idea for a little gift box so I turned to good old Pinterest. I found an idea for box like this with a curved lid but boy oh boy did I struggle with what paper, what size I wanted it to be. In the end it turned out cute and it easy to make.

The lovely designer series paper (DSP) is “Well Suited” from the mini catalogue. I love this bright Poppy Parade red and it contrasts so well with the Night of Navy in the cardstock and little flowers. The paper flowers are made using the Small Blooms punch and mimic the little flowers in the DSP.

measurements

Night of Navy Cardstock – 6″ X 4 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ on each side.
Well Suited DSP – 6 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ at either end of the long side.

Make a Card Special – Heat Embossed Sentiment

Make a Card Special – Heat Embossed Sentiment – Fine Art Floral Suite – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

There are no other words for it, this paper is simply gorgeous. It is the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP). The paper is busy and therefore if you did too much to it I feel it would detract from the beauty of the paper. I finished the card off with a simple white heat embossed sentiment from the accompanying stamp set, Art Gallery. It is matted on a strip of gold foil sheet for that elegant feel.

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This stamp set is “Happiest of Birthdays”. I’ve used it numerous times as I love the font and of course that fact that it’s big and bold. This card was made for a colour challenge. The colours we had to use were Night of Navy, Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot. This is a great card if you are a beginner crafter as all you really need is ink, stamps and paper. They are of course some of the basic tools of cardmaking.

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card – Dragonfly Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is made using the Dragonfly suite from the mini catalogue. Dragonflies are a favourite of my upline Amanda Fowler and I was thinking of her when I created this card. My favourite part of this card is the gorgeous rhinestones that I have used for the bodies of the dragonflies.

Gatefold cards are very easy to make as you are just scoring a normal cardbase slightly differently. The one dragonfly creates my closure so the card will still stand up.

So, I have a question for you. Which do you prefer dragonflies or butterflies? Let me know in the comments below. I think I am a butterfly girl as I love seeing them flittering among all the pretty flowers.
