Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

I love the vibrant hit from the toadstools in this card. They really do make this card. I love these woodland style stamps, most probably because I love the countryside. It was one of the reasons I moved out of London.

Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card
Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

Where we are in Lincoln is fabulous as it’s only 7 minutes drive and you are in the heart of the city and 7 minutes the other way you are entering the countryside. I love it!! Having lived in London all my life and I really appreciate how easy it is here to get out of the city. Those of you who have lived in London will know it can take over an hour just to get of London at times.

Everything here has been coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do find colouring in so relaxing. I can spend hours playing with colour and mixing and blending it. The Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers so easy to blend and I love that they leave no lines when you colour.

Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve always loved going to the park and watching the ducks. I think it’s so cute watching Mr Mallard chasing after Mrs Mallard or sometimes the reverse!! It is so cute watching Mrs Mallard giving swimming lessons to all the little ducklings.

Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

The male and female of the species are easy to identify as the male as this distinctive colour on his head. It is especially noticeable in the spring when they are mating. You quite often see a couple of males chasing after one female. I should be so lucky!!

I’ve used the watercolour pencils here to colour in this scene. After I started colouring I decided not to blend them with water but just used them as normal colouring pencils. I followed the same rules as colouring with alcohol markers and used the lighter colours as a base and to blend out the other colours. It was fun to do and showed there are so many ways we can use stash.

Rainbow Banners – Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

I absolutely love how this card turned out. The rainbow of banners are just so much fun and how doesn’t love a rainbow?

Rainbow Banners - Birthday Card - Stampin' Up!
Rainbow Banners – Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

This type of card is a great way to use up your scraps. I’ve done many cards based on the rainbow theme and they always are a success. These are strips of cardstock that otherwise would have gone in the recycling. The one end is punched using the new “Banners Pick a Punch” punch from the new mini catalogue.

I do love rainbows. They are so special. I don’t think there is many people that don’t stop to marvel at the glory and beauty of a rainbow in the sky. They are a natural marvel that brings a smile to your face and feels you with joy at the wonder of nature.

Measurements

  • Strips of cardstock at least 15 cm long and 1.9 cm wide in:
    • Real Red
    • Pumpkin Pie
    • Daffodil Delight
    • Granny Apple Green
    • Pacific Point
    • Gorgeous Grape

Yummy Treats – Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this cute little gift bag to share with you today. It is perfect bag to give with some yummy treats. I have used chocolates here but you could equally have biscuits or sweets.

Yummy Treats - Gift Bag - Stampin' Up!
Yummy Treats – Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up!

The designer series paper (DSP) is the Artistry Blooms paper and I love the ombre effect. I had to raid my mother’s stash of chocolates as I don’t them. As a Type 1 Diabetic and I find it just too difficult to match my insulin to the sugar in the chocolates with it causing issues so I don’t bother. I was never a chocolate fan so it’s no great loss to me. Head the warning though, never eat chocolates or sweets found in my craft room as they will be years and years old!!!

I think a little stack of biscuits would have looked good. Unfortunately, I haven’t baked in years. I did in London but here we have a fancy oven with sorts of programmes, bottom heat, top heat, circa roasting etc… I’m not sure which to use for baking and don’t want to ruin the biscuits so sadly I haven’t tried at all.

World of Good Adventure Card – Stampin’ Up!

The World of Good speciality designer series paper is lovely. It has brass foiling which matches are brass foiling sheets perfectly. The colours are muted and perfect for male cards as well.

World of Good Adventure Card - Stampin' Up!
World of Good Adventure Card – Stampin’ Up!

The supplies used in this card are from a suite of products. The stamp set and matching dies coordinate perfectly with the paper, embossing folder and ribbon. I love blue, it’s my favourite colour. The colour here is Misty Moonlight which I love as it’s not as deep as Night of Navy. There are two globe images in the die and stamp set, one features the Americas and the other Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. I love that between the two, all the continents are covered.

Fantastic Mrs Fox and Cub – Wildly Happy

I have this gorgeous fox card to share with you. As a child I loved the book “Fantastic Mr Fox” so this is my fantastic Mrs Fox and her cub.

Fantastic Mrs Fox and Cub – Wildly Happy

I love this little fox image. I stamped her memento black ink so that I could colour her in with the Stampin Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic don’t you think? I can sit for hours just playing with colour. It is why I love painting so much.

The colour used here is Cajun Craze. I don’t think I’ve used this colour for a card before. Bad me!! It is a great colour and would be fabulous for autumnal cards. This little fox is from the Wildly Happy stamp set. I was so glad it carried over as it has a cute image of two little elephants. As someone of you may know my mother is from South Africa and so I’ve been to the game parks and seen them up close and personal.

Measurements

  • Cajun Craze A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Cajun Craze Designer Series Paper – 14.35cm x 7.5cm

This three tone purple ribbon is lovely. I never used it when it first came out but I’ve changed that now. Do you like it? This box is very easy to make. I made a template and once you have a template you can make as many as you like. You can store them flat and just seal up the base when you want to use them. Here is the template.

It’s a Dog’s Life – Pampered Pets – Stampin’ Up!

Normally if you say “It’s a Dog’s Life” you mean someone is having a miserable time of it. However when I see the the two little dogs that life up the road off on their walks, I think actually a dog’s life doesn’t sound too bad at times.

It’s a Dog’s Life – Pampered Pets – Stampin’ Up!

This dog image is from the Pampered Pets stamp set which in turn is part of the Pampered Pets suite of products. This suite includes designer series paper (DSP), stamp set and matching dies, charms and of course ribbon. I love the suite and it is perfect for both dog and cat lovers.

This little doggie reminds me of Jock from the film Lady and the Tramp. I love him. He is so cute!!! Of course he has a bling collar, what self respecting dog wouldn’t!!!

Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely floral card featuring these beautiful yellow irises. It makes for this bright and sunny congratulations card.

Yellow Irises - Inspiring Iris - Stampin' Up!
Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

There are only flowers stamps used here. If you vary the height and angle of the stamps you will stop it look like repeat stamping. The stamps give quite a sketchy appearance which helps to cover up any mistakes in colouring.

The images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I’ve used quite a few colours to blend the yellows. I love colouring, it is such relaxing past time when I’m feeling stressed and anxious.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones to fill some of the white space. To me, it looks like pollen blowing around in the breeze. I’m so pleased they carried over as I love all the
