How to use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card – Friendship Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Birds & Branches stamp set has sat in my stash for nearly a year unused. I wanted to use it but have always struggled to use birds in my cards. What do you think of this one? I think it really works with the sentiment.

The birds are stamped with the two- step stamping technique. This gives them their yellow and brown plumage. You could try any combinations of plumage of your choice but I preferred the So Saffron and Soft Suede. The foliage I die cut out of Mossy Meadow cardstock with adhesive sheet on the back. This made them super easy to stick down. If you have’t ever used adhesive sheet I would highly recommend you try it as it makes it so easy to stick down intricate die cuts.

  • Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

Keeping it Simple – Primary Colours Thank You Card – Pretty Parasol- Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love this idea of these balloon carrying this pretty parasol off into the wind. I’ve used only primary colours. They are Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. These colours all work well together and therefore don’t clash but really pop against the white.

I used a white gel pen on the parasol to give it some highlights with the dots. This makes the whole piece pop even more. It is a very easy and simple card to make using up scraps which is always a good thing.

This is a super simple card to make. The background is stamped. I love stamping my own backgrounds as I can make them bespoke to me. I’ve used the Beauty Abounds set and these pretty bokeh style circles in Coastal Cabana. The deeper colour is Pretty Peacock and it goes so well with Coastal Cabana.

The butterflies from Butterfly Gala have a matching punch. I’ve picked up on the butterflies again with this cute little butterfly gems in Pretty Peacock. Easy Peasy!!

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.

This is a really simple card to make but it is simply stunning if I do say so myself. The stamp set is Painted Poppies and the other aptly enough is Poppy Parade. When the poppy suite came out in the mini catalogue last year, I was in love. I’ve used it numerous times and I will be keeping this set forever, even after it perhaps retires. I will link some of the other projects I’ve used it in below.

I stamped the image of the poppies twice to get a long enough panel and then coloured them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Isn’t great how everything matches in the world of Stampin’ Up!

Measurements

  • Poppy Parade A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm

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.

Come Under My Umbrella – Friendship – Card Tutorial – Independent Stampin’ Up! Tutorial based in Lincoln UK.

I think this card came out so cute. I’ve stamped on designer series paper (DSP) here. It really works. The sentiment matches the wellies and umbrella perfectly. The umbrella has a matching punch and I fussy cut out the wellies. It is really easy to do. I brought the yellow into the rest of the card with the Playing with Patterns resin dots. My favourite bit though is the little butterfly sitting on the handle of the umbrella.

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!!

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today using very natural and neutral colours. The stamp set is Enjoy the Moment. This was a free set I got in my convention bag last November. Onstage was a virtual event from the comfort of our own homes but still loads of fun. This card is based on one demonstrated to us.

I have stamped using Crumb Cake ink and then added shadows and extra detail using the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers over the top. I’ve also the blue surround to give depth to the image.
