The Gang’s All Meer Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have a card to share with you today using the sale-a-bration offering stamp set “The Gang’s All Meer”. These adorable little meerkats are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

The Gang’s All Meer Card – Stampin’ Up!

Aren’t these little guys so cute? I’m surprised to see how obsessed people are with meerkats as they are not animals we find in the UK. As some of you may know my mother was born in South Africa. My grandparents were farmers in the Orange Free State and we had meerkats on the farm. You may not know but meerkats are insectivores which is great. They hoover up all these nasty creepy crawlies but also do like eggs. My Granny kept hens for personal use and to sell the eggs. You had to be wary of the meerkats as they loved to get into the hen house and steal the eggs. The naughty little rascals!!

In this card, I’ve used the main stamp and just repeat stamped it across the card to get a whole gang of meerkats. I love colouring in and found it so therapeutic colouring in all these little guys.

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’m back with this gorgeous punched love hearts card. This project uses products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue. Real Red is one of my favourite colours and here is paired with a colour I never use Flirty Flamingo. I think they go together rather well.

The designer series paper (DSP), “From My Heart” is beautiful. It has foiled hearts in both Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. The hearts are punched out with the duo pack hearts punch. I’ve fussy cut out the small hearts.

There are quite a few new punches in the new catalogue. I love this return to punches as they make for easy and simple crafting. They are easy to use in classes and require no additional machine to use.

Lovely Lily Card – Sale-a-bration – Stampin’ Up!

I have another card to share with you today using Sale-a-bration items. Sale-a-bration only lasts until the end of March. I, therefore, want to share with you something from all my free items before the end of March. This card uses the Lovely Lily stamp set with matching dies and designer series paper (DSP).

The Lovely Lily stamp set, Lily DSP and Lily dies are all free items from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. The first two are free with a £45 order and the dies are free with a £90.00 order.

I’ve coloured the Lily in with the Stampin’ Blends in Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow. I think this Lily makes a lovely focal piece for this card. The ribbon is new crinkled white seam binding and I love it. It is so soft and gives a lovely subtle accent to the card.

I’m not normally a great fan of water lilies. They are amazing flowers but there are others that I prefer. This image reminds me of the water lilies at Kew Gardens in London. As some of you may know I am a Londoner born and bred. I only moved here to Lincoln in 2016. We lived close to Kew and I do miss visiting.#

Kerchief Card Kit – Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration

Happy New Year!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I’m back with my regular blog postings and YouTube videos. I have a card from the Kerchief Card Kit to share with you today.

Sale-a-bration

This card kit is a free item during sale-a-bration. Sale-a-bration is the most wonderful time of the Stampin’ Up! year. You get to earn free product every time you order over £45.00, which to be honest is very easy to do with all yummy goodies in the catalogue.

Today is the start of Sale-a-bration as well as the launch of the new Spring / Summer mini catalogue. If you haven’t got a demonstrator already and want a copy then just request one here.

The Kerchief Card Kit has all the supplies to make 8 cards, 4 of each design. You also get the envelopes with matching envelope liners. This kit is a quick way to make a bunch of cards with a variety of sentiments. The only supplies I added were a bone folder and some glue dots.

The Kerchief Card Kit is only one may items in the Sale-a-bration catalogue that includes stamps, dies, punches, embellishments and designer series paper. I did do a haul video of my preorder from the Spring / Summer Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration but I lost it. Accidentally the week before Christmas, my mother spilt a full glass of diet coke over my laptop and it is now dead. Unfortunately, the video wasn’t backed up and is now lost. I’m sorry I don’t have to share with you.

Once you had a chance to look through the new catalogues, let me know what is on your wish list.
