I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.

Tulips are definitely my favourite flower. I look forward to them every year. They variety of colours and shapes are amazing. Even when the flower goes over they look gorgeous, just like orchids. I have so many photos of them so I thought it was high time I made another card using them.

Isn’t this a pretty bag to place a special treat in. I love making gift bags and boxes and have a whole stack of them. Ever since I was a child I’ve always loved pretty packaging and taking time to make a gift look extra special. It makes all the difference I think to show you took the time to care.

This is a very simple monochromatic birthday card. I am starting to use embossing folders more and more in my designs. They add great texture and interest to backgrounds. The one I used here is called Pretty Flowers and is new in the catalogue. The rhinestones really make the flowers pop. Sometimes these tiny finishing touches really make a card.

So pleased with how this came out. I used Calypso Coral cardstock. I never use this colour but oh my it looks good with this You’re a Peach designer series paper (DSP).

I’m so happy with the way this has turned out. He reminds me of a children’s tv show I used to watch called “Captain Pugwash”. I think I still have some of the storybooks but not sure where. Perhaps in a box somewhere. The pirate is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers. I made the rock he is standing on using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.

If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know that I love big bold sentiments. They make easy cards and work well with a busy designer series paper.

Making a Large Gift Bag – No Cutting Needed – Hydrangea Hills – Fine Art Floral – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this type of bag quite a few times. It is great if you are new to paper crafting or to do with children as no cutting is required. This bag uses a full piece of 12″ X 12″ paper / cardstock and makes a good size bag. The paper I’ve used here is the Hydrangea Hills designer series paper (DSP). It is so pretty. More importantly is that it has no specific direction which is important if you don’t want part of your image to be upside down.

measurements

  • Hydrangea Hills / Fine Art Floral DSP – 12″ X 12″, scored on one side at:
    • 3″ & 9″
    • Scored on the second side at 4 1/2″ from either end

I loved the Hydrangea Hill suite of products from the moment I saw them. This paper is beautiful. I have always loved hydrangeas. My mother had a huge pink one in the garden when I was growing up and we still have them in our garden now. I love the big blooms. They aren’t shy and very much a show stopper.
