Make a Wallet / Holder for Tic Tacs – Stampin’ Up!

Make a Wallet / Holder for Tic Tacs – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This little treat holder is super easy to make and ever so cute!! It holds the larger size of tic tac boxes and would be a perfect table favour. Normally I would tell people not to eat sweets or chocolates found in my craft room as they are usually years old. These are new actually. I personally only eat sweets or chocolate when I am having an episode of low blood glucose, called hypoglycemia. This happens occasionally as a Type 1 Diabetic.

A Little Lace – A Note to Say Hello – Card Tutorial

A Little Lace – A Note to Say Hello – Card Tutorial – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The stamp used here is a “A Little Lace”. It’s beautiful and I’ve used it a number of times in both cards and gift bags. It’s a great set to use to stamp your own patterned paper. You can make a bespoke design in just the colour and size you want.

The colours I used here are Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie. It keeps it very tone on tone and yet it is still vibrant and colourful. The elegant faceted gems just give it that touch of bling to lift the whole card.

Simple and Elegant Card – Beautiful World –

Simple and Elegant Card – Beautiful World – World of Good – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

This is a a very simple card to make. The sentiment is so cute ” Life is a beautiful journey” and it finishes on the inside “Thank you being part of mine”. The paper is called World of Good and each sheet has brass foiling. I’ve matched it with the foiling sheet I used to mat the sentiment.

I hardly ever use Crumb Cake cardstock but is a great neutral colour which I need to start to use more don’t you think? It would be a great masculine card choice with this designer series paper. I’m trying to go out of my comfort zone and use different colour combinations.

Fun with Gilding Flakes – How to use them.

Fun with Gilding Flakes – How to use them – Good Morning Magnolia – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was so excited to see gilded flakes in the new mini catalogue. They are so much to play with. One world of warning is that once out of the pot they won’t go back in, they just seem to mushroom and grow. Consequently they last for ages. I put mine in a tin to keep the mess in.

There are a number of ways to use gilded flakes. In the video below I show you how to use it with heat & stick powder and versamark. You use it though with Tombow and tear & tape. I will show be doing these techniques in later videos so make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube to get alerts.

The ribbon of course matches and it a beautifully soft cotton ribbon that makes a bow even for those of us that are bow challenged!!

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card – Painted Poppies – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card to make but it is simply stunning if I do say so myself. The stamp set is Painted Poppies and the other aptly enough is Poppy Parade. When the poppy suite came out in the mini catalogue last year, I was in love. I’ve used it numerous times and I will be keeping this set forever, even after it perhaps retires. I will link some of the other projects I’ve used it in below.

I stamped the image of the poppies twice to get a long enough panel and then coloured them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Isn’t great how everything matches in the world of Stampin’ Up!

Make a Get Well Soon Card – Purple Tulips

Make a Get Well Soon Card – Purple Tulips – Timeless Tulips – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

As you may know, tulips are my favourite flower. I love all the colours and various forms, even when they are going over and the petals open out, they look gorgeous. This stamp set is Timeless Tulips. It has a matching punch making it super easy to use. I have stamped some images flat and then stamped punched out others to give the card added interest and dimension.

I am really looking forward to the flower this Spring. The crocuses and some daffodils are just starting to flower and it really makes my heart sing. It gives me hope that in all this darkness of winter there is light.

Simple Blending & Heat Embossing Birthday Card

Simple Blending & Heat Embossing Birthday Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve been having fun playing with my new blending brushes. Initially I ordered one pack which has three brushes but recently order two more packs I now a brush for each colour in the colour wheel as well as grey and brown. I just clean them off after use on a towel and they are good to go.

I used three different blues to create this background starting with lightest, Balmy Blue, then Pacific Point and finally Night of Navy. Layering the colours always creates extra depth and interest in the background I feel.

This is another project we made in my online card club that I host in my Facebook group each month. I love the sentiment on this bag, it fits how I feel about my mother perfectly. I would do anything for her.

A Special Card for Mother’s Day – Hydrangea Hills

A Special Card for Mother’s Day – Hydrangea Hills Designer Series Paper – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

We made this card in my February Virtual Card Club that I host in my Facebook group. It was so cute I wanted to share it with you too. The Hydrangea suite of products in the mini catalogue is my favourite one out of the whole catalogue. As you know I am a sucker for anything floral and this ticks all my boxes. It has lovely stamps, paper, dies and of course embellishments, what more could a girl want?

I’ve matched the colours of the die cut hydrangeas to the paper, keeping everything in blue and purple tones. I want to draw you attention to the pastel pearls. They are simply gorgeous. Please do check them out as they coming in a few colours and yes, I’ve fallen in love with them.
