How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile

How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile – Focus Friday – Thank You Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo! – Uk

I love how this card turned out. I used the Timeless Tile background stamp to give some tonal interest in the background. The background was too plain otherwise for my tastes. This is a Focus Friday card. This month we have been looking at using background and large stamps in our cardmaking.

Make a Simple Card – Berry Blessings

Make a Simple Card – Berry Blessings – Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Blends – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I had such fun colouring in this card using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The colours I used were based on the colours in the designer series paper. The paper is the Berry Delightful and is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve made quite a few projects with it already. I’ve a little amount of paper left and yes I’m hoarding it now. This paper and accompanying stamp set is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration.

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a beautiful but simple card, that is perfect for Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary. It is very easy to put together as I have used adhesive sheet on the back of the sentiment before I cut them out. The stamp set is Forever and Always. I love it as it has this big bold sentiment and matching dies. The dies will cut out the words love and always without the need for stamping as well. So versatile. The ribbon is the new Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon and it’s stunning.

More Poppies -Peaceful Poppies – Stampin’ Up!

Yes that is right, more poppies to share with you. I am truly in love with this suite of products and will be so sad to see the designer series paper retire in a few weeks time. The stamp sets and dies from the suite are continuing, much to my relief.

As I said, I love this paper. I know that I shouldn’t really buy a second pack as it will retire before I can make more projects to share with you but I want to have it so I don’t lose it. I am sure those paper hoarders among you, know what I mean.

This card is super simple to make. I love the bright vibrancy of the poppies. I debated for a while where to add a sentiment but I didn’t want to cover the images so I went with a small one in the bottom right hand corner that says many thanks. This is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set. This is a great set as it has a ton of different greetings for all occasion of cards. I find myself using it time and time again.

What are your favourite flowers? I love all flowers. They are so beautiful, a vision of perfection. My favourite flower though is the tulip and I am glad to say the tulip stamp set and accompanying punch are carrying over to the new catalogue.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I am trying my best though it is not easy at times. It has made me realise how much we value our freedom and how precious it is. Also, how lucky we are to have had that freedom and all that we still have.

Pop of Petals Bookmark – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve not been feeling well this week so I wanted to make simple projects. I like how to this bookmark has turned out using the Pop of Petals stamp set.

I’ve used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss. They are all from the same area of the colour wheel so match beautifully. The Pop of Petals stamp set a huge variety of flowers with of course the matching punch. I didn’t want any dimension as this is a bookmark so I just used the stamp set.

The tiny flowers you can see above actually come as a trio of stamps joined together but I wanted to use them separately. Therefore, I cut them. Shock and horror you may think but it doesn’t damage the stamps and you can see stamp them altogether if you so wish.

measurements

Blackberry Bliss – 7 1/2″ X 3 1/2″
Whisper White – 7″ X 3″

I love stamping to make my own patterned paper. You can totally customise it to your own tastes rather than being constrained by other’s taste.

Best Dressed Mini Handbag – Stampin’ Up!

Today I have this darling little mini handbag to share with you. It features the Best Dressed suite of products and it is perfect for that girl about town.

I decided to use Purple Posy as my main colour. This is a colour I haven’t used yet and decided that had to change. Unfortunately we no longer the Purple Posy ink pad but I used Blackberry Bliss and I think it works well together.

The Best Dressed suite is a great collection of the products. The highlight of which is the All Dressed Up dies. They include the die to make this beautiful handbag as well as a ton of accent pieces such as buckles and buttons. There are also dies to cut out the matching stamp set of lipstick, perfume bottles and shoes. The designer series paper (DSP) matches these images with the reverse side being lovely floral images.

Envelope Album – Perennial Essence – Stampin’ Up!

Today, I’m sharing this lovely envelope album with you. The construction is very simple, in that it consists of only 10 envelopes. That’s right you only need 10 envelopes and you are ready to make your album.

Envelope Album decorated with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! — Envelope Album decorated with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

I’ve been watching lots of videos on YouTube of mini-albums. They are may ways of making a mini album and I wanted to try an envelope one. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t find a style of construction that I liked so I decided to make it up as I went along.

Measurements

The envelopes used are a standard C6 which will fit a normal A6 cardbase.
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP) 6″ X 4″
Blackberry Bliss and Blushing Bride mat pieces 6″ X 4″

The album holds 9 photos. Below is a double-page spread in the album.

Envelope Album - Double page spread. — Envelope Album – Double page spread.

A photo is on the right side and the Perennial Essense DSP on the left. I want to take this moment to mention the Praiseworthy Prose stamp set. This set contains seven definitions eg grateful, cheerful and family which have been stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I’ve placed a picture to correspond with each definition.

This album is so easy to make. I’ve made a video tutorial below along with the supply list.

I’m in love with making mini albums. I am making one currently with the Dino Roar DSP and have just completed one with the Magnolia Lane DSP. I will show you them in the next few weeks.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
