How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card – Dragonfly Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is made using the Dragonfly suite from the mini catalogue. Dragonflies are a favourite of my upline Amanda Fowler and I was thinking of her when I created this card. My favourite part of this card is the gorgeous rhinestones that I have used for the bodies of the dragonflies.

Gatefold cards are very easy to make as you are just scoring a normal cardbase slightly differently. The one dragonfly creates my closure so the card will still stand up.

So, I have a question for you. Which do you prefer dragonflies or butterflies? Let me know in the comments below. I think I am a butterfly girl as I love seeing them flittering among all the pretty flowers.

Make a Congratulations Card – Using your Scraps – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card based on a sketch. All the banners are made from scraps of designer series. The Banners Pick a Punch makes this so easy. You can make banners of 3 different widths and any length. So easy to line up and layer. The stamp set is Handrawn Blooms. I’ve cut out using a circle die and spotlighted certain flowers in yellow. Spotlighting is quite an effective technique to make an element pop from its background.

This project actually has no stamping in it. Shock, horror!! These little “milk cartons” are so cute and perfect for a little gift. The paper is the gorgeous “Flowers for Every Season”. I love the daisy pattern but of course the tulips trump them in my heart. The closure is a little bulldog clip. So dinky!!! The sentiment comes from the matching Memory & More cards. I just cut them out and stuck them on. Super easy.

I normally struggle with shaker cards but this one was super easy to make and I was over the moon with how it turned out. How pretty is this card? These shaker mason jar domes are seriously cute. I’m definitely buying a few more packs to hoard. Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic. It keeps me out of mischief for hours!!

The stamp set is Jars of Love. It comes with many different bunches of flowers and even the stems to stamp in the jar. I’ve fussy cut the flowers out and of course there is a matching mason jar punch.

I had such fun colouring in this card using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The colours I used were based on the colours in the designer series paper. The paper is the Berry Delightful and is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve made quite a few projects with it already. I’ve a little amount of paper left and yes I’m hoarding it now. This paper and accompanying stamp set is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration.

A Touch of Ink – Easy Two Step Stamping

A Touch of Ink – Easy Two Step Stamping – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I really love how this card turned out. The two step stamping is quite sketchy and it looks good. I’ve used this set before and coloured it in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It gives a totally different effect and makes this set so versatile. The colour here is Melon Mambo and is my favourite pink colour of all time. It’s so bold, bright and utterly beautiful to me. I have quite a few embellishments which I don’t alway use, hence the sequins. They look great don’t they?

measurements

  • Thick Basic White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Melon Mambo designer series paper – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Basic White – 9.5cm X 8cm

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a beautiful but simple card, that is perfect for Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary. It is very easy to put together as I have used adhesive sheet on the back of the sentiment before I cut them out. The stamp set is Forever and Always. I love it as it has this big bold sentiment and matching dies. The dies will cut out the words love and always without the need for stamping as well. So versatile. The ribbon is the new Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon and it’s stunning.

I was so excited when I saw blending brushes in the new catalogue. They work a treat to blend inks. As you may know I love playing with colours and inks. I’ve always struggled to get a good blend with a sponge but with these blending brushes it was as easy as pie.

You don’t need a separate brush for each colour. I have one for each colour family, for example, one for blues, one for yellows / oranges etc…. I just store them in a cute penguin mug on my desk. Brilliant!!
