Happy Birthday Balloon Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have this very simple card to share with you today featuring this “Happy Birthday Balloon”. This card has been stamped using markers rather than ink pads. This is a great technique and I am so excited to share it with you.

This is such a fun stamp. The whole balloon including sentiment is one stamp. I’ve used the 2020-2022 in-colour Stampin’ Write Markers. There are five colours in the pack:

Misty Moonlight – Blue
Magenta Madness – Pink
Just Jade – Green
Bumblebee – Yellow
Cinnamon Cider – Brown

This gives you a great range of colours at a much lower price point than the stamp pads. Stamping with markers also gives you so much control over where you apply the colour. You can even have different colour flowers instead of them all being the same as I’ve done.

I should say the stamp set used here is “Hooray To You”. I am going to be using it over and over again. It would look great heat embossed as well.

Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely floral card featuring these beautiful yellow irises. It makes for this bright and sunny congratulations card.

There are only flowers stamps used here. If you vary the height and angle of the stamps you will stop it look like repeat stamping. The stamps give quite a sketchy appearance which helps to cover up any mistakes in colouring.

The images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I’ve used quite a few colours to blend the yellows. I love colouring, it is such relaxing past time when I’m feeling stressed and anxious.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones to fill some of the white space. To me, it looks like pollen blowing around in the breeze. I’m so pleased they carried over as I love all the

Many Medallions Die-Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

I this super easy card to share with you today featuring the Many Medallions die set. This card is perfect for those who want to keep stamping to a minium but still make pretty cards.

The colours here are Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana, two of my all-time favourites. They work so well together don’t you think? This die-cut is actually just one die. I backed a piece of coastal cabana on to the adhesive sheet and then die cut the two together. This turns the die-cut into one big sticker. I ran it through a few times and it came out super easy.

I think large intricate dies like this can scare people but they are really easy to use and the inserts fall out very easily. They for easy cards with a big impact. I’ve paired here with a birthday sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set. You can get the die and stamp set as a bundle for a 10% discount.

Pretty and Vibrant Flowers – Card Tutorial

I have a card to share with you today featuring these pretty and vibrant flowers from the Flowers For Every Season designer series paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is so gorgeous. I could not contain my excitement when I first opened it and the matching memory and more cards. It just sings to me!!

The blue in the background is the in colour Misty Moonlight. I think it is lovely. It is not as deep as night of navy but still a great neutral background for those lovers of blue. The flower are my favourite tulips. If you have been reading my blog you will know I am head over heels mad for tulips.

This card is one of my simple sentiment cards as I didn’t want to cover up my lovely tulips. I think sometimes we want to put do so many techniques and use up embellishments on a card that they become to busy and lose their wow factor.

I always do my blogs a few weeks ahead of time. As I am was creating this cards I watching the BBC coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show. Unfortunately Chelsea as cancelled this year but the BBC showed highlights of the last 10 years. It was nice but also poignant as it made me miss it all the more. When I lived in London I went to the flower show every year. I was hoping to go to the RHS flower show at Chatsworth House this year but again its cancelled so I will have to wait until next year.

Just a Note – Butterly Gala – Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple card when you just what to send just a note to someone. I love how these bright butterflies look on the woodgrain background. I’ve stamped on coloured cardstock which is in itself unusual for me but I like the effect.

This card features two in-colours, Magenta Madness and Just Jade. I’ve used rhinestones to give the butterflies some sparkly bodies. I’ve done a previous card using these butterflies to make a rainbow effect. They stamp beautifully and of course, they have a coordinating punch.

Sunflowers Galore – Stampin’ Up! Celebration Card

I am so excited. This is my first blog post of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. I’ve been blogging for a year now. Can you believe it? When I saw this Sunflowers stamp in the new catty I knew it was coming home with me. I was so excited to see in the preorder. It was the first thing in my basket. I hope you liked it as much as me. So here is my Sunflowers Galore Card.

I love watching cycling. Normally I would start to be looking forward to the Tour de France which would have started in July. It has been postponed and may happen in the Autumn now. One of the great things about the Tour is all the wonderful scenery around France including the massive fields of sunflowers. This is my homage to those fields.

This stamp set comes with two sizes of sunflowers, leaves and sentiments so is a really useful set. I’ve only used the one size here but plan to use this set lots more. It is part of a suite of products so there is coordinating designer series paper and memory and more cards.

Birthday Hearts – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and definitely red birthday hearts card to share with you today. Normally I don’t like lots of hearts but I seriously love the From My Heart designer series paper (DSP). I think it’s because it is red and I adore red.

This card is very easy to make but still quite striking. I made another one where I had the hearts in a row so changed it up this time and made them in a column and it works well.

This paper was used a lot for Valentine’s Day and then forgot about which is sad. As you can see here it works well for birthdays or even friendship or thank you cards.

As I am writing this I am thinking that we could all do with a little extra love right now. How are you coping with the restrictions? I am in the UK and our restrictions are easing. I’m not too sure about this. My degree a long time ago was Molecular Biology and therefore I have to say I enjoy all the statistical data we are given and reading up about the science of it all. At the same time, it scares me as I know how easily things can go wrong as well.

Enough of the doom and gloom though and back to the card. I’ve used the colours in the DSP and punched the hearts out using the matching heart punch pack. The sentiment is from Butterfly Wishes and the font and size is great to fit in the timeless label punch.

The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

This the last hurrah for the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). All our DSP is retiring on the 2nd June. I am using my favourites for the last few projects of this catalogue year.

I have used this paper quite a number of times but still have some left. It is simply gorgeous and perfect for those who enjoy fussy cutting. Personally, I have hate fussy cutting. I do it when I have to achieve the effect I want such as in this instance. Some people find it relaxing, I find it a chore. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not patient enough!!

I will admit that the fussy cut birds to look beautiful against the simpler background. It will be sad to see them go. The stamp called Free a Bird, thankfully, is not retiring so we can all enjoy still part of this suite or products.

The birds have been enjoying this nice weather as well. They wake me up every morning early with their dawn songs. I love watching them searching for food in the garden. They are so free and I am jealous. I hope we can be as free as a bird soon.
