I love how this card turned out. The black frames make the whole card really pop. The centre panel is all hand stamped. I’ve used two shades of yellow as well as Calypso Coral for the sentiment. The little champagne rhinestones as flower centres just finish the whole card off nicely.

There are no other words for it, this paper is simply gorgeous. It is the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP). The paper is busy and therefore if you did too much to it I feel it would detract from the beauty of the paper. I finished the card off with a simple white heat embossed sentiment from the accompanying stamp set, Art Gallery. It is matted on a strip of gold foil sheet for that elegant feel.

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 use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card

How to use Birds & Branches Stamp Set in a Card – Friendship Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The Birds & Branches stamp set has sat in my stash for nearly a year unused. I wanted to use it but have always struggled to use birds in my cards. What do you think of this one? I think it really works with the sentiment.

The birds are stamped with the two- step stamping technique. This gives them their yellow and brown plumage. You could try any combinations of plumage of your choice but I preferred the So Saffron and Soft Suede. The foliage I die cut out of Mossy Meadow cardstock with adhesive sheet on the back. This made them super easy to stick down. If you have’t ever used adhesive sheet I would highly recommend you try it as it makes it so easy to stick down intricate die cuts.

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

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.

This is a really good size box that would be useful not only as a gift box but also as a storage box. The paper is gorgeous isn’t? It is the Flower & Field designer series paper which is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration. There is very little wastage with this box as the belly band is made using the left over cardstock from making the base.

  • Just Jade cardstock – 10″ X 10″ scored at 2″ on all sides
  • Field and Flower Designer Series Paper – 8 1/16″ X 8 1/16″, scored at 1″ on all sides.
  • 2″ strips of Just Jade Cardstock – Left over from cutting the base piece

A Touch of Ink – Easy Two Step Stamping – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I really love how this card turned out. The two step stamping is quite sketchy and it looks good. I’ve used this set before and coloured it in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It gives a totally different effect and makes this set so versatile. The colour here is Melon Mambo and is my favourite pink colour of all time. It’s so bold, bright and utterly beautiful to me. I have quite a few embellishments which I don’t alway use, hence the sequins. They look great don’t they?

measurements

  • Thick Basic White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Melon Mambo designer series paper – 14.35cm x 10cm
