Make a Congratulations Card – Using your Scraps

Make a Congratulations Card – Using your Scraps – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card based on a sketch. All the banners are made from scraps of designer series. The Banners Pick a Punch makes this so easy. You can make banners of 3 different widths and any length. So easy to line up and layer. The stamp set is Handrawn Blooms. I’ve cut out using a circle die and spotlighted certain flowers in yellow. Spotlighting is quite an effective technique to make an element pop from its background.

How to Make an Elegant Butterfly Card

How to Make an Elegant Butterfly Card – Butterfly Bijou – Butterfly Gala – Independent Stampin Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card out so well. I was really struggling initially and tried many different things, but nothing looked good. I then had a lightbulb moment and here we have it. What do you think?

The background designer series paper (DSP) is from “In Good Taste”. I think it makes the butterflies look like they are sunning themselves on a warm wall. The black really makes everything pop. The rhinestones on their bodies give the card that wonderful bling.

Making a Milk Carton Style Gift Box with Clip Closure

Making a Milk Carton Style Gift Box with Clip Closure – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This project actually has no stamping in it. Shock, horror!! These little “milk cartons” are so cute and perfect for a little gift. The paper is the gorgeous “Flowers for Every Season”. I love the daisy pattern but of course the tulips trump them in my heart. The closure is a little bulldog clip. So dinky!!! The sentiment comes from the matching Memory & More cards. I just cut them out and stuck them on. Super easy.

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial – Rooted in Nature – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. It’s so simple but effective. The sentiment comes from the set “Rooted in Nature”. This is set that replaced our much loved but now retired “Lovely as a Tree” The little flowers in the corner are using the Small Bloom punch. To give it texture I used my stylus and piercing foam mat.

This card was also part of a colour challenge. The colours to be used were Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana & Terracotta Tile. I think they work well, don’t you?

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a simple card design using squares and rectangles to create pops of colour and interest. I’ve used the Lace 3D embossing folder to emboss the basic white piece. It is absolutely gorgeous and gives a lovely deep emboss. The yellow; Daffodil Delight and the red; Poppy Parade go well together as they are in the same quadrant of the colour wheel. The overall effect is bright and sunny.

How to Make a Cute Little Floral Easter Basket

How to Make a Cute Little Floral Easter Basket – Flowers for Every Season – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Aren’t these little baskets cute? This wasn’t my idea, I found it on good old Pinterest and put my own spin on it. The paper is the super gorgeous Flowers for Every Season which I love. I want to make the most of this paper before it retires at the end of April. There is no stamping as the paper is so busy but you can of course add a stamped tag if you so wish.

How to use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card

How to use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card – Friendship Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Birds & Branches stamp set has sat in my stash for nearly a year unused. I wanted to use it but have always struggled to use birds in my cards. What do you think of this one? I think it really works with the sentiment.

The birds are stamped with the two- step stamping technique. This gives them their yellow and brown plumage. You could try any combinations of plumage of your choice but I preferred the So Saffron and Soft Suede. The foliage I die cut out of Mossy Meadow cardstock with adhesive sheet on the back. This made them super easy to stick down. If you have’t ever used adhesive sheet I would highly recommend you try it as it makes it so easy to stick down intricate die cuts.

Keeping it Simple – Primary Colours Thank You Card

Keeping it Simple – Primary Colours Thank You Card – Pretty Parasol- Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love this idea of these balloon carrying this pretty parasol off into the wind. I’ve used only primary colours. They are Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. These colours all work well together and therefore don’t clash but really pop against the white.

I used a white gel pen on the parasol to give it some highlights with the dots. This makes the whole piece pop even more. It is a very easy and simple card to make using up scraps which is always a good thing.

Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds

Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds stamp set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a super simple card to make. The background is stamped. I love stamping my own backgrounds as I can make them bespoke to me. I’ve used the Beauty Abounds set and these pretty bokeh style circles in Coastal Cabana. The deeper colour is Pretty Peacock and it goes so well with Coastal Cabana.

The butterflies from Butterfly Gala have a matching punch. I’ve picked up on the butterflies again with this cute little butterfly gems in Pretty Peacock. Easy Peasy!!
