How to Make a Mason Jar Shaker Card – Colouring

How to Make a Mason Jar Shaker Card – Colouring using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

Make a Get Well Soon Card – Purple Tulips

Make a Get Well Soon Card – Purple Tulips – Timeless Tulips – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

As you may know, tulips are my favourite flower. I love all the colours and various forms, even when they are going over and the petals open out, they look gorgeous. This stamp set is Timeless Tulips. It has a matching punch making it super easy to use. I have stamped some images flat and then stamped punched out others to give the card added interest and dimension.

I am really looking forward to the flower this Spring. The crocuses and some daffodils are just starting to flower and it really makes my heart sing. It gives me hope that in all this darkness of winter there is light.

Making a Simple Sympathy Card

Making a Simple Sympathy Card using the Heal Your Heart stamp set. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Recently, sadly I needed to make a sympathy card. I decided to share this with you in case you are in the same situation. I was unsure how to go about designing such a card, so I went for simple and easy. The stamp set is actually one I just acquired during Sale-a-bration. I didn’t think I would use it, but there you go. The designer series paper (DSP) is Paper Blooms which is absolutely gorgeous. It gives the perfect backdrop to the sentiment.

The colours here are Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. Don’t they go well together? I love it. I wish I had tried this combination earlier. This bag is very easy to make and looks so pretty. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets, “So Sentimental”. The crinkled seam binding just sets it off lovely.

Thinking of Others – Make a Pretty Card – Art Gallery

Thinking of Others – Make a Pretty Card – Art Gallery – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these layered flower sets. This one is called Art Gallery. I’m writing this blog a couple of days before Christmas. A friend of my mothers has gone into hospital for a knee replacement operation. I made this card to send to her and I thought I would share it with you. The epoxy clear gems in the centre of the flowers make the card pop and give it dimension.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tucked in Lid Cute Gift Box – Stampin’ Up!

I have a cute little gift box with a tucked in lid to share with you today. This is a perfect size for a piece of jewelry or even some charms for a favourite charm bracelet.

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.

Tearing Effect – Field of Flowers – Stampin’ Up!

I have a fun technique to share with you in this card. This using the tearing effect to create these ruffled edges that frame the focal image.

This image is all one stamp. I’ve stamped in it Mossy Meadow, the same colour as the cardstock. I tore the cardstock and then cut everything down to the size I wanted. The ruffled edge of the Mossy Meadow looks like the rough edges of the grass. I think it works well.

The card seemed a little dull to me until I had the bright idea to add the red rhinestones. I think they bring the whole card together and give a lovely pop of colour. In my mind they are little red poppies in the grass verge.
