A simple and beautiful card for a sad occasion. I backed the focal image on the designer series paper that is matted on the cardbase. Gutting means cutting out the interior of the paper leaving just a shell. I used the Stampin’ Up! trimmer which makes this so easy. This is a great way to save paper and stretch your supplies.

Yes, the Party Puffins are showing us their dance moves again. They are boogying for all they are worth here in this cute bookmark. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the ease of ebooks but nothing can replace a proper book. I will use my kindle when I go away and don’t want to carry a zillion books in my suitcase but at home, I prefer proper books. They are so much easy to cross-reference from book to book or page to page.

This card uses only one colour, Polished Pink, I don’t count black and white as colours and doesn’t it look fabulous. I love pink flowers they are so bold and happy. These flowers are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. A firm favourite of mine to colour with as they make shading so easy.

  • Beautifull Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.85cm X 10cm cut in three pannells.

Isn’t this little guy cute? He is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. He is such a friendly little guy, just makes you smile. The stamp set is Turtle Friends and of course has a matching punch. I love my punches and have quite a collection of retired punches as I struggle to destash them. They are convenient and don’t require any other tools to use.

I normally struggle with shaker cards but this one was super easy to make and I was over the moon with how it turned out. How pretty is this card? These shaker mason jar domes are seriously cute. I’m definitely buying a few more packs to hoard. Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic. It keeps me out of mischief for hours!!

The stamp set is Jars of Love. It comes with many different bunches of flowers and even the stems to stamp in the jar. I’ve fussy cut the flowers out and of course there is a matching mason jar punch.

When I first saw this stamp set I wasn’t in love but I’ve changed my mind after making this card. It turned out so cute!! It is one of the free sets from Sale-a-bration. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The little pop of red in the image just lifts the whole image.

Make it Home for Christmas Card – Stampin’ Up! Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this a cute little scene card. I love cards where I can build a scene like this. The Coming Home stamp set has all these lovely houses in it that are perfect for not only a Christmas card but also for a new home or welcome home card. The matching die set includes this useful snowbank / hill scene with the trees which just sets the scene perfectly

The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I added a line in a black marker to the trees and then coloured them in so they look they are covered in snow. I’ve used the light Soft Sea Foam marker to create shadows in the snow as well.

Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

I love the vibrant hit from the toadstools in this card. They really do make this card. I love these woodland style stamps, most probably because I love the countryside. It was one of the reasons I moved out of London.

Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card
Toadstools anyone? Walk in the Woods Card

Where we are in Lincoln is fabulous as it’s only 7 minutes drive and you are in the heart of the city and 7 minutes the other way you are entering the countryside. I love it!! Having lived in London all my life and I really appreciate how easy it is here to get out of the city. Those of you who have lived in London will know it can take over an hour just to get of London at times.

Everything here has been coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do find colouring in so relaxing. I can spend hours playing with colour and mixing and blending it. The Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers so easy to blend and I love that they leave no lines when you colour.

Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve always loved going to the park and watching the ducks. I think it’s so cute watching Mr Mallard chasing after Mrs Mallard or sometimes the reverse!! It is so cute watching Mrs Mallard giving swimming lessons to all the little ducklings.

Mr Mallard - Colouring with Pencils - Stampin' Up!
Mr Mallard – Colouring with Pencils – Stampin’ Up!

The male and female of the species are easy to identify as the male as this distinctive colour on his head. It is especially noticeable in the spring when they are mating. You quite often see a couple of males chasing after one female. I should be so lucky!!

I’ve used the watercolour pencils here to colour in this scene. After I started colouring I decided not to blend them with water but just used them as normal colouring pencils. I followed the same rules as colouring with alcohol markers and used the lighter colours as a base and to blend out the other colours. It was fun to do and showed there are so many ways we can use stash.

Up in the Clouds – Stampin’ Up! – Card Tutorial

Sometimes I think, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to fly, to be up in the clouds and free from all the worries down on earth. It is nice thought but not really possible. I made a card with hot air balloon instead to compensate. I hope you like it.

Up in the Clouds - Stampin' Up! - Card Tutorial
Up in the Clouds – Stampin’ Up! – Card Tutorial

The stamp set here is called Above the Clouds and has the matching hot air balloon punch. Unfortunately, this set is retiring on 2nd June 2020. If you like it then please get it now before it sells out. You can view the full retirement offering on in my shop.

I love all the blues in this card. They are Night of Navy and Seaside Spray. Thankfully we are losing neither this year. I have used the Stampin’ Blends to colour everything in. You may notice the blends are on the retirement list but don’t worry they aren’t going away. Instead of selling them singularly we are only going to sell the duo pack. This means you can get perfect shading everytime.

measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Seaside Spray – 14.35cm x 10cm

The retirement list went live on 22nd April. As always I am excited to see the new catalogue but sad to see some old favourites retiring. I’ve marked out all my retired items in my catalogue and will be pulling them from my shelves to make space for new goodies.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this card and thank you for stopping by. The video tutorial and supply list are below. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
