Fantastic Mrs Fox and Cub – Wildly Happy

I have this gorgeous fox card to share with you. As a child I loved the book “Fantastic Mr Fox” so this is my fantastic Mrs Fox and her cub.

I love this little fox image. I stamped her memento black ink so that I could colour her in with the Stampin Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic don’t you think? I can sit for hours just playing with colour. It is why I love painting so much.

The colour used here is Cajun Craze. I don’t think I’ve used this colour for a card before. Bad me!! It is a great colour and would be fabulous for autumnal cards. This little fox is from the Wildly Happy stamp set. I was so glad it carried over as it has a cute image of two little elephants. As someone of you may know my mother is from South Africa and so I’ve been to the game parks and seen them up close and personal.

Stained Glass Effect Card – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again. I’m back with another card to share with you. I’m calling this my stained glass effect card as I feel the back strips between each segment are like the black lead work on a stained glass window.

As you may know both Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana are favourite colours of mine. I’ve used them here together and they go rather well don’t you think? This card was inspired by a card by upline Amanda Fowler did with us in team training. I’m very pleased with how it turned out and am going to do a few more using different colour combinations. I will share them with you as well.

I use the Tombow multipurpose liquid glue to stick everything down on this card. Oh Boy!!! Did I get glue everywhere? I had it on my fingers, my craft mat, the cardstock, my silicone mat, etc…. I think you get the picture. Wet glue and me, don’t’ always get on. I have a bad habit of sticking my fingers in the glue!!!

Hello Sunshine, Sunflower Celebration – Birthday

It is a lovely sunny day here in Lincoln as I write this. “Hello Sunshine”, therefore, seems an appropriate title for this blog post. I love sunflowers. There is one beautiful one in a garden in the next road. They are beautiful as they reflect the joy of the sun and of course they are great source of food for the birds.

Isn’t this a great stamp set? This is the second time I’ve used it and I am going to do lots more with it. I am so happy with the way this card turned out. The sunflower is so happy and jolly. I coloured the petals in using a marker and blender pen. It is a great trick for colouring in.

Shaker Die Cut Birthday Card Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, I have this shaker die cut birthday card to share with you today. I’m never happy with the shakey shakey cards I make but am determined to keep trying until I perfect it. This is my attempt today.

This card took ages to make. I struggled to come up with something I liked and I am still in two minds about it. Do you like? The die set is aptly named Happy Dies. I do like the Happy the die that cuts out the word. Next, I think I will try this die as an inlaid die cut.

I used the silver strips to cover up the foam tape on the sides of the card. One thing I do like is how well the balloons have stamped out. They do look happy and jolly.

Things are fairly quiet here in Lincoln. I am writing this post on the 10th July even though it is going to go up later. Yesterday was my mother’s birthday. It was very quiet as we just stayed home. Neither of us is comfortable going out to eat under the current circumstances. We are both vulnerable and so we are taking these carefully and slowly.

Cute Little Critter Magnet – Special Someone

I have this magnet featuring this cute little critter. How sweet is it? I made this to give to my mother, whose birthday was on the 9th July. Simple and sweet. I love the little pop of colour from the Magenta Madness coloured butterflies.

To me, this little critter is a squirrel. As a child I used to love watching and feeding the squirrels in Kensington Gardens. They were mainly in the flower walk and were so tame to eat the nuts out of your hand. All hell broke out though if two of them went for the same nut and they used to chase each other up and down the trees.

I don’t seem many squirrels here in Lincoln but there are a couple that frequent our garden from time to time. Unfortunately, they are all grey ones. I would love to see a red squirrel in person. In the UK the grey squirrel has taken over and you can only find the red ones mainly in Scotland.

I bought the magnet base online and then measured my piece of whisper white to the same size as the internal paper in the magnet. It makes for quick and easy project and would be great for kids.

Funky Zebras – Zany Zebras – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, I hope this finds you all well. I have this cute card featuring these funky zebras. I love them!! They are so cute and funny. What do you think?

The colour here is an all time favourite of mine, Bermuda Bay. I’ve kept it very monochromatic. The designer series paper is Coastal Cabana and is from the Brights Family stack. I’ve used some rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone selection.

The stamp set is Zany Zebras. When I first saw it on catalogue I was in two minds about purchasing it but I am really glad I did. I’ve seen so many people using it and it has really inspired me. The cards are easy to make and you make them in a variety of colours.

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.

measurements

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.

Pretty and Vibrant Flowers – Card Tutorial

I have a card to share with you today featuring these pretty and vibrant flowers from the Flowers For Every Season designer series paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is so gorgeous. I could not contain my excitement when I first opened it and the matching memory and more cards. It just sings to me!!

The blue in the background is the in colour Misty Moonlight. I think it is lovely. It is not as deep as night of navy but still a great neutral background for those lovers of blue. The flower are my favourite tulips. If you have been reading my blog you will know I am head over heels mad for tulips.

This card is one of my simple sentiment cards as I didn’t want to cover up my lovely tulips. I think sometimes we want to put do so many techniques and use up embellishments on a card that they become to busy and lose their wow factor.

I always do my blogs a few weeks ahead of time. As I am was creating this cards I watching the BBC coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show. Unfortunately Chelsea as cancelled this year but the BBC showed highlights of the last 10 years. It was nice but also poignant as it made me miss it all the more. When I lived in London I went to the flower show every year. I was hoping to go to the RHS flower show at Chatsworth House this year but again its cancelled so I will have to wait until next year.

Packaging for Printed Poppy Candle – Stampin’ Up!

Yesterday I showed how I made this gorgeous printed poppy candle. Today I thought I would show you the packaging for the candle. I had created this lovely little candle and I thought it deserved nice packaging to make it a special gift.

In the world of Stampin’ Up! everything coordinates and this making a little gift so easy. I’ve used poppy parade ribbon, paper and ink here. The stamp is Butterfly Wishes and makes this lovely little tag. I’ve used the Poppy elements for the embellishment.

This is an 8″ X 6″ cello bag. It has no gusset but with a little manipulation I created one with some poppy parade card, The weight of the candle keeps everything in place.

As I already said I am in love with this suite or products. I do hope the stamps and dies don’t retire yet as I am not finished having fun as yet. I love the red poppies in the grass verge. They looks so vibrant and full of life. They make me happy which is never a bad thing.

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.
