I’ve always loved the combination of pink and blue. I remember having two My Little Ponies, one was pink and one was blue and I always though they were perfect friends. Plaid Tidings is the paper here. I am using it all the time and why not when it it is so gorgeous. The pink in the paper is Melon Mambo and I’ve picked this up again with the mat around the sentiment.

I hope you are all keeping safe in the current conditions. As always I find that crafting is my saviour as it gives both my mind hands busy and when you are busy you can’t think. Not thinking is a bonus some days. Anyway enough of that and back to crafting.

Yes, it’s another card using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is just gorgeous. I’ve always loved tartan designs. I remember having some tartan kilts when I was a kid. I used to wear them with jumpers my mother knitted for me.

Tartan also reminds me of shortbread, which I love. My grandmother used to make the best shortbread ever. It was delicious and a special treat when we went back to South Africa for a visit.

I really enjoyed creating this scene using my dies. I combined dies from two different sets, Freezin’ Fun and Special Day. We forget sometimes that dies don’t just have to be used with the matching stamp set but can be used with others to create something different.

I sponged all my die cuts with the matching ink to give them extra definition, shadows and allow them to really pop on the scene. My two favourite dies are the stitched rolling hill and the grass. They are just great.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out and am planning to do it in my online card club soon. I’ve employed some basic colour theory here and gone with what I call our Stampin’ Up! primaries which are Daffodil Delight (yellow), Pacific Point (blue) and Real Red. As they are all primary colours I know they will work together and they really pop against this white background.

The dies coordinate with the stamp set and aptly named the Happy Dies. I love this big happy die cut that I’ve used as my focal image here. It really is big and bold which as you know I love.

This card is simple but elegant. The designer series paper (DSP) is Brightly Gleaming. It has carried over from last year’s Christmas catalogue. I love all the copper foiling and have picked this up in using come copper foil sheet to mat my sentiment on .

I think this is a perfect card to make in bulk. It takes a few minutes only to make but is stunning and of course handmade. I don’t work in an office anymore but this is definitely one I would have made as my office Christmas card.

I love the magic of heat embossing. I remember the awe the first time I did it. This dull powder turning into this glossy, metallic. beautiful colour. It is pure magic to me. I’ve used this stamp set before but wanted to use it again as I love the idea of the birthday sentiment enclosed in this balloon of flowers.

Do you not think this paper is gorgeous? It’s from Plaid Tidings and I am use this set of papers over and over again. They are such pretty patterns and so versatile for any occasion.

Oh my gosh, I love this card. Aren’t these little critters so cute? They are from the Freezin’ Fun stamp set and accompanying dies.

Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Up!-

I coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. Colouring in is very therapeutic I find. I am immersed in what I’m doing and forget about everything else.

As I said the stamp set is “Freezin’ Fun” and has matching dies, of course. The minute I saw this set in the catalogue I knew I had to have it. I love that there is the stitched hillside die as well to give you this wonderful snowy scene. Alternative you could use this die for green flowing hills as well.

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.

Does Anyone Want To Skate? Warm & Toasty – Stampin’ Up!”

Isn’t this polar bear skating, the cutest? I love him and if you’re not a fan of colouring in, he is perfect as you only need to colour in his hat and scarf. He has been fussy cut out as there are no dies. I am so impressed with my fussy cutting as I hate it. Some people find it relaxing but not me!! If I can do it though so can you.

I love the sentiment here, “Warm & Toasty”. It’s not traditional but still very cute. I coloured and stamped using my Stampin’ Write markers making this card very simple and easy to make.
