Just a Note – Butterly Gala – Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple card when you just what to send just a note to someone. I love how these bright butterflies look on the woodgrain background. I’ve stamped on coloured cardstock which is in itself unusual for me but I like the effect.

This card features two in-colours, Magenta Madness and Just Jade. I’ve used rhinestones to give the butterflies some sparkly bodies. I’ve done a previous card using these butterflies to make a rainbow effect. They stamp beautifully and of course, they have a coordinating punch.

So Grateful – Gratitude Card – Stampin’ Up!

This is a very simple card to express how grateful if you are to someone special. In the current circumstances I am so grateful that my mother is safe and sound with me. She is the only family I have in the UK and I am glad that I can be there for her as she is for me.

So Grateful - Gratitude Card - Stampin' Up!
So Grateful – Gratitude Card – Stampin’ Up!

This designer series paper (DSP) is from the Ornate Garden suite of products in the new catalogue. This paper is beautiful. These flowers would look beautiful fussy cut, though fussy cutting is not my forte. This sentiment is bold with a great font, my favourite type.

I’ve double matted the sentiment, firstly with terracotta tile cardstock and then with the ribbon. I think it gives it that little something extra.

This lovely yellow is Bumble Bee and is one of the new 2020 -2022 in-colours. I love it! It is so bright and happy. The ribbon that the jar is sitting on is another new in-colour Cinamon Cider.

I’ve coloured in the images with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The jar is punched out and yes, I fussy cut out the flowers. I love all the bright yellow on this card but you can change up the colours to suit your fancy. There are a variety of bunches of flowers in the stamp set that you can choose and two sizes of mason jar.

Sunflowers Galore – Stampin’ Up! Celebration Card

I am so excited. This is my first blog post of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. I’ve been blogging for a year now. Can you believe it? When I saw this Sunflowers stamp in the new catty I knew it was coming home with me. I was so excited to see in the preorder. It was the first thing in my basket. I hope you liked it as much as me. So here is my Sunflowers Galore Card.

Sunflowers Galore
Sunflowers Galore

I love watching cycling. Normally I would start to be looking forward to the Tour de France which would have started in July. It has been postponed and may happen in the Autumn now. One of the great things about the Tour is all the wonderful scenery around France including the massive fields of sunflowers. This is my homage to those fields.

This stamp set comes with two sizes of sunflowers, leaves and sentiments so is a really useful set. I’ve only used the one size here but plan to use this set lots more. It is part of a suite of products so there is coordinating designer series paper and memory and more cards.

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Misty Moonlight Designer Series Paper (In colour stack) 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Whisper White – 8cm x 2.5cm
  • Crushed Curry – 8.5cm x 3cm

Bright and Fun Thank You Card – See a Silhouette

I love how bright and fun this card is. I’ve had this designer series paper (DSP) for ages and only used it once before. I am sad as it really is a lovely bold paper that is great for layering or adding that pop of colour to a project.

The sentiment on this card is from the stamp set So Sentimental and I love it. This stamp set is continuing and I am so pleased. I love sets that have big bold greetings as they make for easy and bold cards.

What types of cards are you finding you are making at the moment? I am doing a lot of thank you cards to hand out to people as I think it makes such a difference just to stay thank you for all the hard work people are doing.

Come Sail Away Thank you Card – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve used the Come Sail Away designer series paper to make this simple and easy thank you card. This is a very clean and simple design and I hope you like it.

Come Sail Away Thank you Card - Stampin' Up!
Come Sail Away Thank you Card – Stampin’ Up!

I love this Thank you sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set. The font is great and it a lovely size to make an easy and simple card. Blue is my favourite colour and I love all the different blues in this card. I am normally scared to mix patterns but they work well here as they are all from the same collection and the colours are similar.

Measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 Card base – This is a A4 Sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Come Sail Away – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Whisper White – 11cm x 4cm
  • Come Sail Away – 10cm x 7.5cm
  • Come Sail Away – 12cm x 5cm

I have not used this DSP much this last year and think there will a few sheets going into my stash. I’m hoping next year I can do better and have very little going into my stash.

I hope you are all doing well. I’ve managed to get all my projects completed until the beginning of June which I am so pleased about. My preorder for new catalogue goodies is done and am eagerly waiting for my delivery. I am writing this on 11th May so hopefully by the time you are reading this I will have it and be ready to share a haul video.

The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

This the last hurrah for the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). All our DSP is retiring on the 2nd June. I am using my favourites for the last few projects of this catalogue year.

The last hurrah -  Bird Ballad Card - Stampin' Up!
The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have used this paper quite a number of times but still have some left. It is simply gorgeous and perfect for those who enjoy fussy cutting. Personally, I have hate fussy cutting. I do it when I have to achieve the effect I want such as in this instance. Some people find it relaxing, I find it a chore. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not patient enough!!

I will admit that the fussy cut birds to look beautiful against the simpler background. It will be sad to see them go. The stamp called Free a Bird, thankfully, is not retiring so we can all enjoy still part of this suite or products.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Bird Ballad DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

The birds have been enjoying this nice weather as well. They wake me up every morning early with their dawn songs. I love watching them searching for food in the garden. They are so free and I am jealous. I hope we can be as free as a bird soon.

A Waterfall of Hearts – Detailed Hearts Die

This card features of a waterfall of hearts. This is all one die that creates this marvelous hearts image.

A Waterfall of Hearts - Detailed Hearts Die
A Waterfall of Hearts – Detailed Hearts Die

I love the contrast between Real Red and Whisper White. It is so striking. The whisper white background is embossed with the Scripty embossing folder. It just adds a little interest to the card.

As I said the die that creates this image is the Detailed Hearts Die. I’ve used this die once before on a card. The first time I tried to stick the die cut with tombow glue and of course the glue ozzed everywhere and I was sticky and the card was sticky. Not a great success I am sure you would agree. The next time I used adhesive sheet and bingo!! It works!! No mess, no residual glue everywhere. Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! don’t sell adhesive sheet as yet but it coming in the new catalogue. Happy dance time for me.

More Poppies -Peaceful Poppies – Stampin’ Up!

Yes that is right, more poppies to share with you. I am truly in love with this suite of products and will be so sad to see the designer series paper retire in a few weeks time. The stamp sets and dies from the suite are continuing, much to my relief.

More Poppies -Peaceful Poppies - Stampin' Up!
More Poppies -Peaceful Poppies – Stampin’ Up!

As I said, I love this paper. I know that I shouldn’t really buy a second pack as it will retire before I can make more projects to share with you but I want to have it so I don’t lose it. I am sure those paper hoarders among you, know what I mean.

This card is super simple to make. I love the bright vibrancy of the poppies. I debated for a while where to add a sentiment but I didn’t want to cover the images so I went with a small one in the bottom right hand corner that says many thanks. This is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set. This is a great set as it has a ton of different greetings for all occasion of cards. I find myself using it time and time again.

Measurements

  • A6 Old Olive Cardbase. This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Blackberry Bliss – 14.35m x 10cm
  • Peaceful Poppies DSP – 13.85cm x 9.5cm

What are your favourite flowers? I love all flowers. They are so beautiful, a vision of perfection. My favourite flower though is the tulip and I am glad to say the tulip stamp set and accompanying punch are carrying over to the new catalogue.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I am trying my best though it is not easy at times. It has made me realise how much we value our freedom and how precious it is. Also, how lucky we are to have had that freedom and all that we still have.
