When I showed my mother this card she was in awe of these flowers. They stamp so beautifully and look realistic. I used the stamparatus stamping tool and had not problem lining up the layers. I started with my lightest colour working towards the darkest. The stamp set is All things Fabulous and of course has matching dies to cut everything out, making super duper easy to make this card.

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend?

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend? Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love this little doggie from the Pampered Pets stamp set. He is beyond cute.

Woof Woof! Do you Want to be my Doggie Friend? – Pampered Pets stamp set – Stampin’ Up!

I live in small close with only 6 houses. At one of the houses lives two little dogs, one of which looks just like this little fellow. They are super friendly and cute. Quite often you will find them sitting in the window and they always bark and wag their tails as you pass by. I’ve nick named them “The Yappers” They are best guard dogs as you will never get passed them.

To get back to his card, I coloured in the dog with the Stampi’ Blends alcohol markers in Smokey Slate. I love colouring in with alcohol makers as they blend so easily and don’t leave any lines from colouring.

The lattie work in the background of this card is all one die called the Many Medallions diet. I’ve used adhesive sheet to glue it to my cardstock so that I am not struggling with tiny beads of glue oozing it everywhere. It does make for a stunning backdrop for my sentiment. As usual I’ve used bold colours for a contrast so that everything pops from the page.

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden?

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden? – Peony Garden – Stampin’ Up! Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln Uk.

I love Peonies. They are some big, beautiful blooms. I’ve created this Peony Garden thank you card using the designer series paper of the same name. This paper is all pastels so perfect those who like a less bright and bold card.

Do you Love Peonies in the Garden?  Peony Garden Thank You Card - Stampin' Up!
Do you Love Peonies in the Garden? Peony Garden Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple technique. I’ve taken a piece of dsp and divided into three. The centre panel has then been flipped to show the other side. I’ve finished with a simple sentiment and some rhinestones.

I’ve been reading a lot of comments in social media about the current situation in the world. Some are lovely and some I am saddened to say are down right vile. I think this is why I love crafting. It seems to bring the best out of people and I’ve met so many lovely people through it for which I am so grateful.

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I do love the colour red and for me red is not just for Christmas. I’m not really into pastels, I love bright and bold colours. Which do you prefer?

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. I love it. It uses a few new items to my stash. The new mini catalogue went live on 4th August. The Heartwarming designer series paper is from a new suite of products called Heartwarming Hugs.

Have you noticed the fantastic bow on the card? This is the new Gift Wrapped stamp set that has a matching gift bow builder punch. There are three different designs of bow that can be punched out. How you colour them is up to you!!!

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers. Thank you card Tutorial using products from Stampin’! Up!

I love the Flowers for Every Season designer series paper (DSP) but I wanted to find a different way to use it. I went on Pinterest to look for inspiration and I saw people using banners. Hence I made this thank you card.

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers

One of my goals this year is to use the product I have. I have a tendency like a lot of crafters to hoard product and not use what I buy. I love getting new stuff, but now I get, I need to use. My strategy is not always successful but I’m getting better at it. One thing I alway buy and never use are embossing folders. The one used here is the Lace 3D folder. Isn’t pretty? I’m so pleased I pulled it out and used it. I’ve many more ideas of how to use this pretty embossing folder.

Pink Zebras – Zany Zebras – Stampin’ Up!

I love these pink zebras. They are such fun, kicking up their heels and enjoying life.

Pink Zebras – Zany Zebras – Stampin’ Up!

The pink used here is my favourite pink, Melon Mambo. I love it!! It is bold and vibrant. These zebras are just too cute. As I’ve told you before my maternal family are all in South Africa. As a child went home to South Africa many times, I was lucky enough to go the Kruger National Park and see the zebras in their natural habitat. This zebras remind me of those happy times.

I am really enjoying making these monochromatic cards. They are striking and require a minimum of supplies. I made a similar card using the colour called Bermuda Bay. I will link it below.

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!
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
