Make a Monochromatic Card – Easy Die-Cut Birthday – Bold Bouquet – Two Tone Flora – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin Up! Demo – UK

I love how this card turned out. It is very easy to make as the front is one die. The die-cut is delicate, so do be gentle when removing it from the die and sticking it down. It is so pretty, isn’t it?

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial

Simple “Thinking of You” Card Tutorial – Rooted in Nature – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. It’s so simple but effective. The sentiment comes from the set “Rooted in Nature”. This is set that replaced our much loved but now retired “Lovely as a Tree” The little flowers in the corner are using the Small Bloom punch. To give it texture I used my stylus and piercing foam mat.

This card was also part of a colour challenge. The colours to be used were Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana & Terracotta Tile. I think they work well, don’t you?

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me. Snowman Season – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Are you looking forward to snow this winter? Unfortunately, I’ve never had a white Christmas either here in Lincoln or when I lived in London. I’m divided about whether I want snow this year. I love to look at it but have don’t want to be snowed in on top of everything else. My little car won’t do well through heavy snowdrifts. Two years ago we had a foot of snow and I couldn’t take my car out for a week. We didn’t even get any post for that week.

Both our neighbours have young children, I’m sure they will love making snowman this year if we have enough of the white stuff. This is a lovely stamp set as you can stamp the whole snowman as I’ve done here or the individual parts. There is of course a matching die set.

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!!!

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.

Many Medallions Die-Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

I this super easy card to share with you today featuring the Many Medallions die set. This card is perfect for those who want to keep stamping to a minium but still make pretty cards.

The colours here are Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana, two of my all-time favourites. They work so well together don’t you think? This die-cut is actually just one die. I backed a piece of coastal cabana on to the adhesive sheet and then die cut the two together. This turns the die-cut into one big sticker. I ran it through a few times and it came out super easy.

I think large intricate dies like this can scare people but they are really easy to use and the inserts fall out very easily. They for easy cards with a big impact. I’ve paired here with a birthday sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set. You can get the die and stamp set as a bundle for a 10% discount.

It Starts with Art – Friendship Card

It Starts with Art is one of my favourite stamp sets. The sentiments are super cute and the whole suite is superb for crafters everywhere.

I think this stamp set is also great for scrapbooking. You can make your own embellishments with the stamped images and matching dies. The dies also have extra pieces to make buttons, paper clips and such like.

Normally, I wouldn’t put Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana together but they actually work quite well. The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. There is no Coastal Cabana in the Stampin’ Blends so I used Pool Party and Bermuda Bay instead. They work well together.

Let it Snow Money Wallet and Christmas Card

I have a money wallet to share with you today using the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper as it so vibrant and happy. This is actually the first money wallet I have ever made as I never give money as a present. I will from time to time give a gift card but I still like to buy presents that show you have put thought and time into your gift.

This card doubles as a proper card as well as a money wallet. There is plenty of space inside the card to write your message. I’ve done very little in term of embellishments and stamping as the paper is busy and too many embellishments would look cluttered I feel.

The main colours are Coastal Cabana and Real Red and I have repeated these colours in the card for continuity. This is not a standard card size and you would need to make a bespoke envelope to go with it. I did this as I wanted the card to have plenty of room for the money and your message.

As this card has quite a layers I have used a hidden magnet to hold the front closed. I do love this paper and am sad it is retiring at the end of the year. I am making a mini album with my remaining sheets so I can enjoy it for years to come rather than it just sitting hidden in my stash.

Snowman Christmas Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I have a bright and fun Snowman Christmas Card to share with you today. I love the bold and colourful colours in the background that just make you smile on the grey days of winter weather.

This snowman looks so happy playing in the snowflakes. I have to say that I love red all year round but especially at Christmas. It makes the whole image just pop from the background.

The stamp set is Snowman Season. It has 3 different snowmen in it, one of which co-ordinates with a punch. I’ve used this one on a previous card which I will link below.

Real Red – 7.5cm x 7.5cm

I’ve accented the card with rhinestones and the beautiful real red cotton ribbon. This ribbon is lovely and soft and therefore easy to make into a nice bow.

I feel sad that I haven’t used this DSP enough. I think I will make a mini album with it as well. This will work double fold as it makes something pretty and will use up all my spare DSP.

Removable Magnet Snowman – Christmas Card

I have a fun card to share with you today. This is a Christmas card with a twist. The snowman is a removable magnet. So you can lift him off the card and stick him on the front of your fridge. It is a card and gift all in one.

I think this is such a fun and novel idea for a card. I stamped and cut out the snowman using the Snowman Builder punch. He is assembled on real red cardstock. I then fussy cut him out, stuck magnets on his back and stuck him on come coastal cabana. This was then fussy cut out again. This makes for a sturdy little snowman that not only decorates the front of the card but anything magnetic too!!
