Flying Balloons – Under Umbrella – Stampin’ Up!

I have this fun card to share with you today. The flying balloons are carrying the wayward umbrella with them. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. It is so bright and full of joy.

I’ve kept to the primary colours here which keep the card simple and bright. This card just uses punches. I love punches as they make for quick and easy crafting.

The umbrella is coloured in using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It is so cute!! It matches the blue in the balloons as well. I haven’t blown up balloons in ages. It would be fun to blow them up and decorate the house with them, something fun to cheer us up.

measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I used the eyelet embossing folder to give some interest in the background. I haven’t used embossing folders in ages and wanted to change that. They are an easy and simple way to add extra interest to a card.

Timeless Tulips – Spotlighting – Stampin’ Up!

As followers of my blog will know, my favourite flowers are Tulips. I simply adore them. When I saw this the Timeless Tulips stamp set and matching punch I knew I had to have them.

I’ve kept the colours very simple with just red and white. I love the contrast between real red and whisper white. I spotlighted the actual tulip flower in red with a black stem to highlight this.

Tulips do signify the start of Spring and warm weather to me. They are beautiful blooms even when they are dying and the petals fall open like orchids.

I felt the white background was a little bland and so I ran it the through the Basket Weave embossing folder to give it some subtle texture. I’ve not been using my embossing folder for ages so I decided I must start using them more as well.

Grace’s Garden Floral Card Stampin’ Up!

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today featuring the Grace’s Garden stamp set and matching Garden Gate dies from Stampin’ Up!. I enjoyed creating this cottage garden scene. The purple flowers around the garden gate remind me of the wisteria over my lounge window.#

This card has a very shabby chic feel to it. I’ve embossed the very vanilla with the stone embossing folder from the sale-a-bration catalogue. The detail wasn’t showing up very well so I lightly sponged over it with Sahara Sand to bring out the details of the embossing and give it an aged appearance.

This card is actually based on one in the Spring / Summer catalogue. You cut the gate open in half to make this an interactive card but I decided against this as I wanted to place flowers in front of the gate.

The flowers are coloured in using the Stampin’ Write Markers. I scribbled some markers onto an acrylic stamping block and then picked up the colour using a blender pen.

measurements

  • Very Vanilla A6 Cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Very Vanilla cardstock – 14.35cm x 10cm

I’ve combined two stamp sets to make this card. They are Barn Door and Grace’s Garden. They work well together I think. #

Birthday Card using So Detailed Thinlits

Hello,

I hope you are all well. It is grey wet day here in Lincoln. Definitely not the type of day to poke your nose outside.  I therefore decided to do some crafting to cheer up myself up and thought I would share this birthday card I made with you.

I absolutely love this die set. It is so intricate and detailed but cuts beautifully, all the little pieces come out easily and there is no struggle to get the die cut out of the die. It comes in a bundle with “So in Love” stamp set with a saving of 10%.

Well until next time “Enjoy being Creative”.
