This is a simple box to make. It follows the 2,4,6 & 8 rule. Each side is the same and only uses one sheet of 6″ X 6″ DSP to decorate it. The background colour is cinnamon cider which is one of the new in colours. It matches the centres of the sunflower so well.

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.

Mosaic Mood Birds – Birthday Card Tutorial

Mosaic Mood was one of the first designer series paper packs I used way back in June last year. It is fitting that it finds its way into my last few projects of this catalogue year. I’ve therefore created this Mosaic Mood Birds card.

I’ve fussy cut these two birds out of the Mosaic Mood DSP. They are very easier to do even for me!! I am not a lover of fussy cutting so I can do it you can do it too. Everything is popped up on dimensionals which give this card extra interest.

This DSP has the feel of being heat embossed as parts of it are glossy like a mosaic. I’ve combined everything with a simple sentiment from the “A Wish for Everything” stamp set. I think it turned out well.

Mosaics were synonymous with the Romans. As some of you know I was born and bred in London which is a very old Roman city. The Roman named was Londinium. You can still see part of the Roman wall in the city. I remember my father showing it to me when I was very young and I’ve always been fascinated with it. I was lucky to move a few years ago to another old Roman told, Lincoln. Its Roman name was Lindum Colonia. There is also part of the old Roman wall about 5 minutes drive from me as well as the old arch going in the Bailgate area. I love history and I am blessed to live with so much history around me.

Blue Poppies – Himalayan Blue Poppy

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today using blue poppies. This card is my interpretation of the Himalayan blue poppy. This is a pretty blue flower with a little yellow centre. When I saw it I knew I wanted to try and make a card around this idea.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and I hope you like it to. The card is mainly die cutting. The l ight blue is Balmy Blue and the Pacific Point gives a contrast to the flower. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz (Light Green) and Old Olive (Dark Green)

The die set does come with a die to cut out flower centres but I thought these gold faceted gems work perfectly and also give some bling to the card. These gems are unfortunately retiring but still available as I write this.

I did some research on the Himalayan blue poppy. It was formally named in 1912 by Lt. Col. Frederick Marshman Bailey. It is hardy in much of the UK and is perennial so comes back every year. How great is that? I definitely want to try and grow some in the garden. They would look gorgeous in a cottage garden.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I had fun making it. The die is Poppy Moments and I intend to give it a good work out. I think I will try making some yellow and orange poppies next either to use on a card or as an embellishment on a bag or box. I think this die set would be fabulous to make scrapbooking embellishments especially if you are doing a page about the 75th anniversary of VE day.
