I’m back with another project using the Cup of Tea stamp set. I love this set and have so many ideas about how to use it. There are tons of mini sentiments that can be stamped on the cute little tags. They look like the tags of a teabag. So sweet!!

I am back with another Friday Focus post. Today we are looking at colour theory again. I am using complementary colours today to make my focal image really pop off the background. These are the wonderful Tulip Dies that you can use to make any number of different flowers. Just play around with the elements to create a flower that you like the look of. There is no wrong way to put these together.

Complementary colours are those opposite each on the colour wheel:

  • Red & Green
  • Yellow & Purple
  • Blue & Orange

This is a very simple but striking card. I used the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set which has been sitting in my stash all year unused. It is paired with my favourite colour Bermuda Bay to create this great card. Quick and easy to make and lovely to receive.

Sometimes something as simple as a shared cup of tea can be a great way to say thank you. When I saw this set “Cup of Tea” in the new catalogue I knew I wanted it. A cup of tea is ingrained in British culture. How many problems, how many things have been set straight over a cup of tea?

As you will know I love tulips. These fields of tulips would be a dream to see in real life. In 2017 Stampin’ Up! had their On Stage Live in Amsterdam in the Spring. I got to see some lovely tulips in Amsterdam but not in the countryside. Wonder day I would love to return and visit the beautiful gardens of Keukenhof and see all the wonderful spring flowers.

This card came together very easily thanks to the Stamparatus which made positioning everything a doddle. I stamped on a larger panel and cut it down to size.

  • Real Red Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm

Make a Full Card Shaker Card With Me - Focus Frid
Make a Full Card Shaker Card With Me – Focus Frid

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things shaker cards. So are you ready to shake with me? Today we are looking at a full card shaker card. This is a great card to make as it “recycles” any pieces of plastic acetate packaging you have.

I love this card as you can see all the pretty paper in the background. I haven’t added too many shaker elements as this card has no dimension and you don’t want to hide the beautiful paper.

measurements

  • Fresh Freesia Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Pansy Patch – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Strip of Basic White that is 2.5cm wide
  • Piece of acetate packaging that measures at least 16cm X 11cm – I used an old C6 size clear envelope

I absolutely adore this Pansy Petals paper. It is so pretty. As you know I’m a sucker for anything floral and so this is a match made in heaven. I’ve used this paper a number of times and wanted to give one more outing this week before it retires at the end of this month.

This is a really good size box and so sturdy. I love this “You’re a Peach” paper but found I haven’t used it for ages so I decided to rectify this. This has a matching card that will feature in the next blog post on Wednesday. This paper is so realistic I could almost smell the peaches in the room with me.

Making a Small Gift Box using the “In the Wild” Paper – Sunny Sentiments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

This cute little gift box is a companion piece to the card I made in the previous blog post. It uses the gorgeous “In the Wild” designer series paper. The paper is all about the big cats, mainly tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tigers for both this box and the previous card.

I do hope that Stampin’ Up! will bring out another collection with animals from the veld such as elephants, zebras & giraffes. I loved seeing them in the national parks back in South Africa. If you didn’t know all my maternal family are back in South Africa so it holds a special place for me.

measurements

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock – 7″ X 7″ scored on all sides at 2″.
  • Soft Succulent Cardstock – 5 1/16″ X 5 1/16″ scored on all sides at 1″.
