The Linked Together stencils are layering stencils. Five stencils layer together to create lovely backgrounds. This time, I’ve actually only used one layer. You don’t always need to use all the layers. This is a simple and stunning design and I love it. The above image is in Berry Burst and the one below is Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

This is a fun way to use up your scraps. I stuck the strips at various angles to create my own patterned paper. The scraps are all from the same paper collection, so the colours match. The paper is called Toadstool Gardens. It is a freebie during sale-a-bration. I love getting freebies, don’t you?

How to Create an Easy Cluster Card – With You In Mind – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This card is a simple design. There is a cluster of embellishments around a central sentiment. I’ve used a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies to create my base to stamp my sentiment. I’ve kept to 3 colours for each. This allows them to have a cohesiveness. The sparkle dots give the card that sparkling finishing touch.

The Storybook Moments designer series paper (DSP) contains paper and die cuts. There are two pages of die cuts. They are perfect for scrapbooking and cardmaking. There are focal and smaller images allowing you to create a cute scene easily. I’ve paired both cards with the Timeless Plaid DSP to create two vintage birthday cards.

When I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to have it. It reminds me of the tiles in Islamic art. I love the simplicity of the set and at the same time, all the detail. I’ve only used one stamp to create this lovely border. The image above uses Blueberry Bushel and below Melon Mambo. Which do you like best?

Strips of Paper – Easy Idea to Use Up Scraps – Wanted to Say Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a great idea to use up those scraps of paper we all have in our stash. These papers all come from the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP) so they match perfectly. This paper is a freebie during sale-a-bration (SAB). For every qualifying purchase, you can choose a free item from the SAB catalogue. This was one of mine. The die-cut sentiment is from the Wanted to Say dies, a firm favourite of mine.

Measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.
  • Blooms Impressions DSP – 10 strips each measuring 14.35cm X 1cm.

I love floral cards. This is the Painted Lavender bundle. It evokes the lavender fields of Provence. Unfortunately, I have bad hay fever, so I must admire it from afar. The background felt sparse, so I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder to add texture and interest without detracting from the focal image.

Instead of stamping a sentiment I used one from the Saying Something ephemera pack. You don’t have to handstamp everything on the card, it gives added interest to mix and match, do you agree?

Besides the patterned paper, everything used to make these cards is from the ephemera packs. I love these packs. They are full of lovely images and sentiments both for easy cards and scrapbooking. I am on a mission to use as much up as I can before they retire. I want to add as little to my stash as possible, I would rather use it than hoard it.
