Razzleberry Hearts make for a Happy Birthday – Stampin’ Up!

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.

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend?

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend? Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

Make Your Scraps Useful - Christmas Card
Make Your Scraps Useful – Christmas Card

I had some scraps left over from making my gift bag featured in the previous post. Rather than just putting them back into my stash I decided to use them to make this simple and easy Christmas Card. I do need to start making more cards if I am going to have enough to send myself and for my mother to send as well.

The Poinsettia Place designer series paper (DSP) is great as it can be used for Christmas but also for other seasons such as Autumn as well. I love this berry design as soon we will be in Autumn and see the birds gorging themselves on berries to fill up their tummies.

measurements

  • Garden Green A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Poinsettia Place scraps cut to 14.35 long. Make sure you two pieces of scrap will make a 10cm wide piece of paper. The total measurement of the two pieces of scrap is 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Garden Green – 11.5cm X 4.5cm
  • Whisper White – 11cm X 4cm

Try Something New -Embossed Resist Technique

Try Something New – Embossed Resist Technique – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I felt like trying something new in my cardmaking. I have done the embossed resist technique a few times before but not for a long time.

Try Something New - Embossed Resist Technique
Try Something New – Embossed Resist Technique

Sponging ink on to my cardstock have always been a technique I struggled with. The sponge squeaks and it comes out super blotchy. I struggle to blend the colours. I was watching various videos on YouTube and I saw someone use these oval make up blending brushes. They work great!! I’m so chuffed.

I’ve embossed the background with clear embossing powder and the Stacked Stone background stamp set. When you sponge the ink, it will only take where there is no embossing. The clear embossed sections will resist the ink.

  • Basic Grey A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Very Vanilla – 14.35cm X 10cm

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 lattie work in the background of this card is all one die called the Many Medallions diet. I’ve used adhesive sheet to glue it to my cardstock so that I am not struggling with tiny beads of glue oozing it everywhere. It does make for a stunning backdrop for my sentiment. As usual I’ve used bold colours for a contrast so that everything pops from the page.

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card base. This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Quarter sheet of A4 Melon Mambo Cardstock
  • Whisper White – 8cm X 3.5cm

What a Beauty – A Little Lace Birthday Card

What a Beauty – A Little Lace Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up! – Independant Stampin’ Up Demonstrator in Lincoln UK

I love this stamp set “A Little Lace” It is just beautiful. I’ve used it a few times before and every time I am just in awe of how pretty my projects turn out.

What a Beauty - A Little Lace Birthday Card - Stampin' Up!
What a Beauty – A Little Lace Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

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?

measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock :
    • 13.85cm X 9.5cm
    • 12.85cm X 8.5cm
  • Whisper White:
    • 14.35cm X 10cm
    • 13.35cm X 9cm
    • 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.

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden?

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden? – Peony Garden – Stampin’ Up! Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln Uk.

I love Peonies. They are some big, beautiful blooms. I’ve created this Peony Garden thank you card using the designer series paper of the same name. This paper is all pastels so perfect those who like a less bright and bold card.

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden?  Peony Garden Thank You Card - Stampin' Up!
Do you Love Peonies in the Garden? Peony Garden Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple technique. I’ve taken a piece of dsp and divided into three. The centre panel has then been flipped to show the other side. I’ve finished with a simple sentiment and some rhinestones.

I’ve been reading a lot of comments in social media about the current situation in the world. Some are lovely and some I am saddened to say are down right vile. I think this is why I love crafting. It seems to bring the best out of people and I’ve met so many lovely people through it for which I am so grateful.

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Peony Garden DSP – 14.35cm X 10cm, cut at 5 cm on each side of the 14.35cm

New Home – Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

Earlier this year we had new neighbours. I wanted to give them a card to welcome to their new home but found I didn’t really have an appropriate set. This set called Coming Home from the new catalogue is perfect for that.

New Home - Card Tutorial - Stampin' Up!
New Home – Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve done a little bit of paper piecing here. The designer series paper (DSP) here is from the 2019-2021 in colours. They are Sea Side Spray and Rococo Rose. I’ve stamped the images on these sheets and cut them out with the matching dies. I’ve then fussy cut the rooves and stuck them on the main house images. They look rather cute I think.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Balmy Blue – 14.35cm x 10cm

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I do love the colour red and for me red is not just for Christmas. I’m not really into pastels, I love bright and bold colours. Which do you prefer?

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. I love it. It uses a few new items to my stash. The new mini catalogue went live on 4th August. The Heartwarming designer series paper is from a new suite of products called Heartwarming Hugs.

Have you noticed the fantastic bow on the card? This is the new Gift Wrapped stamp set that has a matching gift bow builder punch. There are three different designs of bow that can be punched out. How you colour them is up to you!!!
