I love the Best Delivery stamp set. Sadly this set is soon retiring. I will miss it. I’ve stamped the delivery truck on designer series paper (DSP) and fussy cut it out. I’ve then laid it over the stamped image on the cardstock. This is a lovely way to use up scraps and make something cute.

This of course is a Focus Friday post. In June we have been looking at different ways to use our DSP. Paper Piecing is now of my favourite techniques. Such fun and an easy way to add interest to a card.

I don’t think I’ve ever shared a mini slimline card with you before. They are a cute size. There is much less space to fill up so they are perfect for fast and easy cards.

I’ve stepped this card by gold heat embossing the sentiment. Heat embossing always makes a card something special. There is something magical about the dull powder turning gold and shiny.

This is a Focus Friday card. During the month of June, we are looking at different ways to use designer series paper. I used the Beautiful Shapes dies to create this card. I love having hexagons in various sizes. It’s a great way to use up scraps. I saw a scrapbook page that used hexagons as focal images and thought that I wanted to do the same with a card.

I’m back today with another Focus Friday card. During the month of June, I’m looking at different ways to use our designer series paper (DSP). Today I used scraps to create these cards. These are small strips that would otherwise go unused and stay in my stash forever.

I pulled the card together with a heat embossed sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I heat embossed the cardstock mat so that everything would match.

Isn’t this little koala the cutest? I love him just hanging out in the tree. As you may remember my maternal family are from South Africa. Some of that family have left South Africa to go to Australia. I was thinking of them as I made this card.

I coloured this koala using watercolour pencils and a blender pen. This makes for super quick and easy colouring.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of May we are looking at using designer series paper (DSP) in different ways. Today I am using the gorgeous Hugs of Happiness DSP to make lots of die cuts to use on my card. They are the focal image for this floral birthday card.

The Hugs of Happiness DSP is simply gorgeous. I absolutely love it!! I’m already planning to my a second pack. Paper-like this is so useful. You can fussy cut these florals if you want but the dies that match the stamp set also cut out the flowers in this DSP. Super useful!! It really stretches this paper and gives you a ton of die cuts.

I was so glad this stamp set didn’t retire this year. I love all the big bold sentiments. They are my cup of tea. This is a very simple card but I’ve added interest with the doily. These are the Heart & Home doilies. They actually come in blue, green & brown. I wanted white though so I used the backside instead!!

I’m back with another Friday Focus post. In May we have been looking at using colour in our cards. Today I am using all the colours in the rainbow here. I love making rainbow cards. They are vibrant, bold and such fun. These cute little dragonflies really pop.

I couldn’t resist doodling a little with a white gel pen to add highlights to the dragonflies. The rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

My First Time – Making a Slimline Card – UK Sizing – Best Delivery – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I love how this card turned out. This is the first time I’ve made a slimline card like this. I have made some mini slimline cards but never a one this size. The card will fit perfectly into a standard DL size envelope here in the UK.

The Best Delivery stamp set is so cute. I have balloons coming out the back but you could equally have hearts coming out. So dinky. I coloured the image using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. One of my favourite colouring mediums. I was thinking of a Royal Mail van when I coloured in this image. The Real Red and white really do pop against each other.

  • Thick Basic White Cardbase – 21cm X 20cm scored at 10cm on the 20cm side.
