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

Misty Moonlight A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

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.

See a Silhouette – Happy Birthday – Stampin’ Up!

I haven’t used the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper (DSP) as yet and thought I would change that with this card. This card is bright and bold but very simple and easy to make.

The See a Silhouette DSP has a sheet with all these flowers on it. I’ve fussy cut these out to use on this card. It was super easy to do while I was watching TV. I’ve used the DSP for the background as well. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets Perennial Birthday. I love big and bold sentiments as they make for easy and simple cards.

Rose Birthday Card – A Beautiful Friendship

I am sharing this beautiful rose birthday card with you today, which is made using my favourite colour, Melon Mambo. I love this pink as does my mother. The vibrant bold colour shouts out to you.

Rose Birthday card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin' Up! — Floral Birthday card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I have used the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin’ Up! which is a gorgeous stamp set with a lovely mix of images and sentiments. I love the two rose like images that I have used here. Normally roses aren’t my favourite flower but I do love them on this card.

We have a beautiful climbing red rose outside the front door. This year, it has flowered the best of the 4 summers we have been in Lincoln. It was packed with gorgeous big red roses and of course lots of thorns!!

I like this card as it is so simple to make. It really is just ink, stamps and paper. I have stamped the floral images using ink pads but they could have equally have been stamped using the Stampin’ Write markers. I have used the markers again to stamp the leaves. The markers are very useful as I can use them to colour in, stamp and watercolour paint. I love tools that are so versatile and give me more “bang for my buck”.

measurements

A6 Melon Mambo card base – (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I had a look online and found out that white roses stand for purity and innocence. In total contrast, a red rose means passion and love whereas a pink rose stands for appreciation or perfect happiness. I felt this was symbolic for a birthday card. A birthday is a day that hopefully brings you happiness and a day to appreciate that you have made another year.

I have a video and supply list below as usual.

I want to thank you for stopping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Butterflies and Birthday Wishes Card Tutorial

I have a sweet and simple birthday card featuring butterflies and the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin' Up! — Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin’ Up!

This card features two things I love, butterflies and flowers. I love walking through the garden and seeing the butterflies flitting about from flower to flower. They are so delicate and beautiful and yet so strong. Seeing a butterfly makes my heart sing and puts a smile on my face.

I like the simplicity and yet the bright vibrancy of this card. The background DSP is quite busy and I felt the sentiment got lost it so I popped it up on the band of daffodil delight card.

While using the Bird Ballard DSP I have fallen more and more in love with it and I hope that these projects will make you fall in love too. Here is a link to another card made using this paper.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!

Heat Embossed Birthday Card – Magnolia Lane

This heat embossed birthday card uses the Magnolia Lane products from Stampin’ Up! This is a very simple card that has an extra wow added through the heat embossing.

The Magnolia Lane designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful that I didn’t want to cover it up with stamping and embellishments. I therefore create this simple but elegant card.

Heat Embossed Happy Birthday card made with supplies from Stampin' Up! — Happy Birthday card made with supplies from Stampin’ Up!

As I have said previously I love magnolias as like the blossom they herald the start of spring for me. We have quite a few magnolia trees near us here in Lincoln and they are a joy to me each year. In fact, nature has such a calming influence over me when I am anxious, unwell or just plain down in the dumps. The magic of every new flower is breathtaking.

I love the heat embossing on this card. Sometimes I think we forget what a great technique heat embossing is. I certainly won’t forget the first time I heat embossed something and the magic at watching the dull powder turn bright and shining.

Measurements

Mossy Meadow A6 card base
Magnolia Lane DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm
Vellum – 10cm x 4cm

This sentiment is heat embossed using white and therefore stand out nicely from the darker background. The heat to trick to heat embossing on vellum is get your heat tool good and hot before you bring into the vellum. This way it will melt the powder quickly with little warping to the paper. If there is any warping, just heat it from the bottom and it should even out.

Below is a video for this card with the supply list below.

Here are some links to some other projects made using this gorgeous DSP.

I, therefore, want to thank you for dropping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Memorable Mosaic Sunken Birthday Card

The Memorable Mosaic Designer Series Paper (DSP) is used to make this cute and easy birthday card with a sunken sentiment.

he Memorable Mosaic Designer Series Paper (DSP) is being used to make this cute and easy birthday card with a sunken sentiment. — Birthday card using the Memorable Mosaic Suite of products from Stampin’ Up!

Another completed another project using the Memorable Mosaic Suite of products. I love the ease and versatility of this paper. You can fussy cut it or just use it as it is for projects.

I have always loved Roman history and actually took Latin up to GCSE. I find this paper is reminiscent of a Roman mosaic. The inspiration for this card was actually the Roman baths which you step down into such as the Roman baths in Bath.

I have termed this card a sunken card. I have popped up the outer frame on two layers of foam tape, the next frame in on one layer and then the sentiment is flush with the card base.

other projects using this paper

There are a few other projects I made using this suite of products. These include a bag with a magnetic closure and another card with two birds kissing. Which project do you prefer? Leave me a comment below and let me know. Personally, I feel this is my favourite as I love the vibrant colours of the terracotta tile and crushed curry in the bird.

As always I have done a video on YouTube and the supply list is below.

Until next time Enjoy Being Creative xx
