Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas

Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas – Hydrangea Hill / Haven. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I loved the Hydrangea Hill suite of products from the moment I saw them. This paper is beautiful. I have always loved hydrangeas. My mother had a huge pink one in the garden when I was growing up and we still have them in our garden now. I love the big blooms. They aren’t shy and very much a show stopper.

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card

Colour Challenge Accepted – Birthday Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This stamp set is “Happiest of Birthdays”. I’ve used it numerous times as I love the font and of course that fact that it’s big and bold. This card was made for a colour challenge. The colours we had to use were Night of Navy, Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot. This is a great card if you are a beginner crafter as all you really need is ink, stamps and paper. They are of course some of the basic tools of cardmaking.

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a simple card design using squares and rectangles to create pops of colour and interest. I’ve used the Lace 3D embossing folder to emboss the basic white piece. It is absolutely gorgeous and gives a lovely deep emboss. The yellow; Daffodil Delight and the red; Poppy Parade go well together as they are in the same quadrant of the colour wheel. The overall effect is bright and sunny.

How to make a Monochromatic Card

How to make a Monochromatic Card – Corner Bouquet – Blending Brushes – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

This card only uses ink, paper and card. The colour is Terracotta Tile. It is one of the 2019 – 2021 in colours that retires this year. I am trying to use these colours and enjoy them before they retire. I’ve used my favourite blending brushes to create a background that fades to white. I’ve then stamped over with the same colour using the Corner Bouquet stamp set. I like the effect. The rhinestones just give it that special something.

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up!

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I really enjoyed creating this scene using my dies. I combined dies from two different sets, Freezin’ Fun and Special Day. We forget sometimes that dies don’t just have to be used with the matching stamp set but can be used with others to create something different.

I sponged all my die cuts with the matching ink to give them extra definition, shadows and allow them to really pop on the scene. My two favourite dies are the stitched rolling hill and the grass. They are just great.

Razzleberry Hearts make for a Happy Birthday

Razzleberry Hearts for a Happy Birthday – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love how this card turned out. The Plaid Tidings designer series paper (DSP) is becoming a firm favourite of mine. It is great for all cards not just Christmas or Autumn ones. The tone on tone of the Rich Razzleberry is just so pretty.

The heart is punched out using one of the heart punches from the heart punch pack. One of the hearts has this scalloped edge to it and the other is straight. They of course coordinate with hearts in the Heartfelt stamp set as well. They are very versatile and a great addition to my stash.

What Beautiful Flowers – Ornate Garden

What Beautiful Flowers – Ornate Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The colour used here is Bumble Bee and what a pretty yellow it is. The green is Old Olive. If you know your colour theory then you will know that yellow and green are next to each on the colour wheel and so they sit well together. They are friends in other words.

I love big sentiment cards such as these. The sentiment comes from a favourite set of mine So Sentimental. I love this set as it has a great array of sentiments and is so versatile. I’ve used it many times and will link some projects using them below.

Pineapple Punch – Everything Amazing

I have this bright and cheery birthday card using Pineapple Punch. I’ve not used this colour at all. It retires on 2nd June and I wanted to start to use some of it up before it goes into my stash.

This stamp set doesn’t stamp the image in this jet black way. The image is not coloured in so don’t think you have done something wrong when you stamp it and it doesn’t look as above. I used my black Stampin’ Write marker and journaling pens to colour the image in. It took a little time but was worth it I feel.

I’ve stamped on designer series paper (DSP) instead of my normal whisper white. This is the DSP from the 2018 -2020 in-colours that retire in June. I think the black against the pineapple punch is quite striking.

There is added interest in the background from the brick and mortar embossing folder. I am rediscovering my love of embossing folders and will try to use them more in my crafting. I also love enamel dots and so have gone enamel dot mad on this card. They add an extra something to the card.

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.

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.

Scraps – Using Your Scraps – Follow Your Art

I have a card to share with you today made with scraps. The designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful, it would be a shame to waste any of it. The Follow Your Art DSP is made for crafters as it features lots of crafty items such as ribbon and glue guns.

Scraps used to make a birthday card. All supplies are from Stampin' Up! — Scraps used to make a birthday card. All supplies are from Stampin’ Up!

I feel it is very important to use your scraps before they build up into a huge pile that is daunting to use. DSP is not cheap and I don’t want to waste a piece if I can help it.

I’ve used strips of the Follow Your Art DSP that I cut to size as needed. I only used adhesive in the middle of each strip so that I could tuck and layer as suited me.

measurements

This card is part of my drive to use what I have rather than buy new stuff and never use it. I am determined that by the time the Annual Catalogue retires I will have used everything I bought from it. Most years I find that I have a ton of DSP that is retired but not this year. I am using it and enjoying it too.

As always there is a video tutorial and supply list below.
