Keeping it Simple – Primary Colours Thank You Card

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.

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up!

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I’m really happy with how this card turned out and am planning to do it in my online card club soon. I’ve employed some basic colour theory here and gone with what I call our Stampin’ Up! primaries which are Daffodil Delight (yellow), Pacific Point (blue) and Real Red. As they are all primary colours I know they will work together and they really pop against this white background.

The dies coordinate with the stamp set and aptly named the Happy Dies. I love this big happy die cut that I’ve used as my focal image here. It really is big and bold which as you know I love.

Happy Birthday Balloon Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have this very simple card to share with you today featuring this “Happy Birthday Balloon”. This card has been stamped using markers rather than ink pads. This is a great technique and I am so excited to share it with you.

This is such a fun stamp. The whole balloon including sentiment is one stamp. I’ve used the 2020-2022 in-colour Stampin’ Write Markers. There are five colours in the pack:

Misty Moonlight – Blue
Magenta Madness – Pink
Just Jade – Green
Bumblebee – Yellow
Cinnamon Cider – Brown

This gives you a great range of colours at a much lower price point than the stamp pads. Stamping with markers also gives you so much control over where you apply the colour. You can even have different colour flowers instead of them all being the same as I’ve done.

I should say the stamp set used here is “Hooray To You”. I am going to be using it over and over again. It would look great heat embossed as well.

Flying Balloons – Under Umbrella – Stampin’ Up!

I have this fun card to share with you today. The flying balloons are carrying the wayward umbrella with them. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. It is so bright and full of joy.

I’ve kept to the primary colours here which keep the card simple and bright. This card just uses punches. I love punches as they make for quick and easy crafting.

The umbrella is coloured in using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It is so cute!! It matches the blue in the balloons as well. I haven’t blown up balloons in ages. It would be fun to blow them up and decorate the house with them, something fun to cheer us up.

I used the eyelet embossing folder to give some interest in the background. I haven’t used embossing folders in ages and wanted to change that. They are an easy and simple way to add extra interest to a card.

From My Heart Balloons – Card Tutorial

I have this cute card to share with you today that I’m calling From My Heart Balloons. It combines both the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Balloon Bouquet punch.

I love that Stampin’ Up! makes coordination so easy but I need to remember that just because a suite of products has specific items in it, they can be mix and matched with all the other items in the catalogue. Here, I ‘ve used scraps of the From My Heart DSP not with the coordinating Heart punch but with the Balloon Bouquet punch to create heart patterned balloons.

I love the way the balloons are carrying the sentiment along in the wind. Indeed with the wind we’ve been having, I’m surprised they are not halfway to France by now.

I will admit I’m not the over-romantic sort and so paper covered in hearts would not normally appeal to me but I love this collection. I think it is because I love Real Red which is the red in this collection.

Broadway Birthday – Wish – Birthday Card

I have a bright and cheerful birthday card to share with you today. This card uses the Broadway Birthday stamp set and matching Broadway Lights dies. This is another set I’ve had for a few months and not used. I, therefore, felt the time was right for it to makes its debut performance.

Melon Mambo is one of my favourite colours and here I have combined it with another favourite, Bermuda Bay. I am totally in love with the combination. The wish sentiment is bold and bright and very much my style. Big and bold focal images make for easy cards with a great wow factor.

I have used a white gel pen to make the stitching lines and to give accents to the balloons. I think it really lifts the piece. The clear epoxy droplet on the dot of the I give it some real bling.

At this time of the year, the focus is on Christmas Crafting but this can mean we forget we still need cards for many other occasions. I, therefore, plan to scatter some non-Christmas projects in my videos right up to Christmas.
