Make a Cute Bag with a Square Base

Make a Cute Bag with a Square Base using the Berry Delightful DSP. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

Making a Simple Sympathy Card

Making a Simple Sympathy Card using the Heal Your Heart stamp set. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

Make A Big Gift Box – 6″ X 6″

Make A Big Gift Box – 6″ X 6″ – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

A Touch of Ink – Easy Two Step Stamping

A Touch of Ink – Easy Two Step Stamping – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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?

A Simple Way to Use Background Stamps

A Simple Way to Use Background Stamps with the Wild Roses Stamp set – Heat Embossing Technique. – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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

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.

How to use the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set

How to use the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set – Birthday Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

The colours here are Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. Don’t they go well together? I love it. I wish I had tried this combination earlier. This bag is very easy to make and looks so pretty. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets, “So Sentimental”. The crinkled seam binding just sets it off lovely.

Blending Brushes – How to get a Lovely Blend

Blending Brushes – How to get a Lovely Blend – Corner Bouquet Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was so excited when I saw blending brushes in the new catalogue. They work a treat to blend inks. As you may know I love playing with colours and inks. I’ve always struggled to get a good blend with a sponge but with these blending brushes it was as easy as pie.

You don’t need a separate brush for each colour. I have one for each colour family, for example, one for blues, one for yellows / oranges etc…. I just store them in a cute penguin mug on my desk. Brilliant!!
