I love bows. I have tons of Christmas bows and always have to put ribbon or bows on any gift. These stamped ones are cute. I like the fact that I can colour them in any colour I fancy. You could also just punch them out of cardstock and layer them up for a more 3d effect.

There is always a push to move away from the traditional Christmas colours of green and red but I love them together all year around. They are complimentary colours in the colour wheel so will always make the other really pop.

Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Oh my gosh, I love this card. Aren’t these little critters so cute? They are from the Freezin’ Fun stamp set and accompanying dies.

Life is Better When We’re Having Fun Together – Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Up!-

I coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. Colouring in is very therapeutic I find. I am immersed in what I’m doing and forget about everything else.

As I said the stamp set is “Freezin’ Fun” and has matching dies, of course. The minute I saw this set in the catalogue I knew I had to have it. I love that there is the stitched hillside die as well to give you this wonderful snowy scene. Alternative you could use this die for green flowing hills as well.

Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely floral card featuring these beautiful yellow irises. It makes for this bright and sunny congratulations card.

Yellow Irises - Inspiring Iris - Stampin' Up!
Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

There are only flowers stamps used here. If you vary the height and angle of the stamps you will stop it look like repeat stamping. The stamps give quite a sketchy appearance which helps to cover up any mistakes in colouring.

The images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I’ve used quite a few colours to blend the yellows. I love colouring, it is such relaxing past time when I’m feeling stressed and anxious.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones to fill some of the white space. To me, it looks like pollen blowing around in the breeze. I’m so pleased they carried over as I love all the

Up in the Clouds – Stampin’ Up! – Card Tutorial

Sometimes I think, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to fly, to be up in the clouds and free from all the worries down on earth. It is nice thought but not really possible. I made a card with hot air balloon instead to compensate. I hope you like it.

Up in the Clouds - Stampin' Up! - Card Tutorial
Up in the Clouds – Stampin’ Up! – Card Tutorial

The stamp set here is called Above the Clouds and has the matching hot air balloon punch. Unfortunately, this set is retiring on 2nd June 2020. If you like it then please get it now before it sells out. You can view the full retirement offering on in my shop.

I love all the blues in this card. They are Night of Navy and Seaside Spray. Thankfully we are losing neither this year. I have used the Stampin’ Blends to colour everything in. You may notice the blends are on the retirement list but don’t worry they aren’t going away. Instead of selling them singularly we are only going to sell the duo pack. This means you can get perfect shading everytime.

measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Seaside Spray – 14.35cm x 10cm

The retirement list went live on 22nd April. As always I am excited to see the new catalogue but sad to see some old favourites retiring. I’ve marked out all my retired items in my catalogue and will be pulling them from my shelves to make space for new goodies.

Happy Birthday To You Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have this simple and easy birthday cake card to share with you today using the Happy Birthday To You stamp set. This set is another of the freebies available during sale-a-bration. There is a matching set of dies but I don’t have those. I wanted to show you can still make beautiful things even if you don’t have dies.

Happy Birthday To You Card - Stampin' Up!
Happy Birthday To You Card – Stampin’ Up!

The pink in this card is Lovely Lipstick. I’m so sad that is going to be retiring this year as I love it. It is such vibrant and beautiful pink. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love the coordination in that I can use Lovely Lipstick as an alcohol marker and as my designer series paper.

I’m really proud of myself as I’ve used nearly all the freebies I got in sale-a-bration rather than just letting them sit lonely and forgotten in my stash. It is my continuing goal to use what I buy instead of hoarding it.

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Lovely Lipstick Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 14.35cm x 10cm

Giving Thanks

Hello again,

I have a cute and bright card to share with you today on this dark gloomy day in Lincoln. I love bright colours in the middle of winter as they remind me of sunshine and summer.

This card uses the Bee Thankful stamp set and yes it is all one stamp. The measurements are:

Standard A6 Thick Whisper White Cardbase

Pumpkin Pie Matt 10cm x 14.35cm

Whisper White 8cm x 10cm

The card is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they make shading a doddle. I love colouring in, I find it so relaxing. I can just sit and let my worries float away as I colour in.

I adore the sentiment on this card as I have many things to be thankful for and I like to remind myself how lucky I really am.

I hope you like the card and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!
