When I showed my mother this card she was in awe of these flowers. They stamp so beautifully and look realistic. I used the stamparatus stamping tool and had not problem lining up the layers. I started with my lightest colour working towards the darkest. The stamp set is All things Fabulous and of course has matching dies to cut everything out, making super duper easy to make this card.

This is a super easy card to make when you have forgotten someone’s birthday and you need a card in a hurry. The stamp set is “Happiest of Birthdays” and I love it for it’s big bold sentiments.

I’m not normally a green girl but I love his Granny Apple Green pattern here in the Artistry Blooms designer series paper (DSP). The sequins are from the came collection and just give that added bling to the card.

I love how this card turned out. The Plaid Tidings designer series paper (DSP) is becoming a firm favourite of mine. It is great for all cards not just Christmas or Autumn ones. The tone on tone of the Rich Razzleberry is just so pretty.

The heart is punched out using one of the heart punches from the heart punch pack. One of the hearts has this scalloped edge to it and the other is straight. They of course coordinate with hearts in the Heartfelt stamp set as well. They are very versatile and a great addition to my stash.

I love this little doggie from the Pampered Pets stamp set. He is beyond cute.

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend? – Pampered Pets stamp set – Stampin’ Up!

I live in small close with only 6 houses. At one of the houses lives two little dogs, one of which looks just like this little fellow. They are super friendly and cute. Quite often you will find them sitting in the window and they always bark and wag their tails as you pass by. I’ve nick named them “The Yappers” They are best guard dogs as you will never get passed them.

To get back to his card, I coloured in the dog with the Stampi’ Blends alcohol markers in Smokey Slate. I love colouring in with alcohol makers as they blend so easily and don’t leave any lines from colouring.

The colour used here is Bumble Bee and what a pretty yellow it is. The green is Old Olive. If you know your colour theory then you will know that yellow and green are next to each on the colour wheel and so they sit well together. They are friends in other words.

I love big sentiment cards such as these. The sentiment comes from a favourite set of mine So Sentimental. I love this set as it has a great array of sentiments and is so versatile. I’ve used it many times and will link some projects using them below.

The colour used here is Gorgeous Grape. It is such a bold colour and contrasts so well with the Whisper White. I’ve done this layering technique before and have linked the project below. It is a simple technique but works well. The rhinestones just give that touch of bling and in all fairness who doesn’t need a little bling?

  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock :
    • 13.85cm X 9.5cm

    • 12.85cm X 8cm

I hope you are all doing well. I’m quite far ahead in my blogging so when I write this we have got through a heatwave. Although I deal with the heat and didn’t even need the fan except for about 10 minutes a night I am glad the temperatures have come down. I wish we could have got some rain though as the grass is parched.

Pink Zebras – Zany Zebras – Stampin’ Up!

I love these pink zebras. They are such fun, kicking up their heels and enjoying life.

The pink used here is my favourite pink, Melon Mambo. I love it!! It is bold and vibrant. These zebras are just too cute. As I’ve told you before my maternal family are all in South Africa. As a child went home to South Africa many times, I was lucky enough to go the Kruger National Park and see the zebras in their natural habitat. This zebras remind me of those happy times.

I am really enjoying making these monochromatic cards. They are striking and require a minimum of supplies. I made a similar card using the colour called Bermuda Bay. I will link it below.

Plaid Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

This plaid birthday card is super easy and simple to make. I love the colours on this project as I think the Cherry Cobbler red really pops against the kraft Crumb Cake Colour.

Plaid Birthday Card - Stampin' Up!
Plaid Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

This card came together very quickly and is perfect for that quick birthday card on the run. As you know I love cards with these big, bold sentiments. They make for simple cards but they also really stand out.

I love designer series paper (DSP) like this one, Plaid Tidings. It so versatile, in that in can be used for all events, Christmas, Birthday, Celebrations etc… Being British, this is also a very traditional design in the UK.

I do love crafting. This last few weeks I’ve been doing quite a bit and really helps to lift my spirits. There is nothing better than giving a handmade card to someone and see their face light up in pleasure at receiving it.

Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

I love the vibrant hit from the toadstools in this card. They really do make this card. I love these woodland style stamps, most probably because I love the countryside. It was one of the reasons I moved out of London.

Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card
Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

Where we are in Lincoln is fabulous as it’s only 7 minutes drive and you are in the heart of the city and 7 minutes the other way you are entering the countryside. I love it!! Having lived in London all my life and I really appreciate how easy it is here to get out of the city. Those of you who have lived in London will know it can take over an hour just to get of London at times.

Everything here has been coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do find colouring in so relaxing. I can spend hours playing with colour and mixing and blending it. The Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers so easy to blend and I love that they leave no lines when you colour.

Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve always loved going to the park and watching the ducks. I think it’s so cute watching Mr Mallard chasing after Mrs Mallard or sometimes the reverse!! It is so cute watching Mrs Mallard giving swimming lessons to all the little ducklings.

Mr Mallard - Colouring with Pencils - Stampin' Up!
Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

The male and female of the species are easy to identify as the male as this distinctive colour on his head. It is especially noticeable in the spring when they are mating. You quite often see a couple of males chasing after one female. I should be so lucky!!

I’ve used the watercolour pencils here to colour in this scene. After I started colouring I decided not to blend them with water but just used them as normal colouring pencils. I followed the same rules as colouring with alcohol markers and used the lighter colours as a base and to blend out the other colours. It was fun to do and showed there are so many ways we can use stash.
