How To Make a Picnic Hamper Gift Box

How To Make a Picnic Hamper Gift Box – Sweet Talk – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I first saw this idea for a gift box on Pinterest. It took a couple of attempts to work out my measurements but it was well worth it. I love how it turned out. We made this in a recent card club and I decided to share it with you here as well.

Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas

Making a Beautiful Birthday Card – Hydrangeas – Hydrangea Hill / Haven. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I loved the Hydrangea Hill suite of products from the moment I saw them. This paper is beautiful. I have always loved hydrangeas. My mother had a huge pink one in the garden when I was growing up and we still have them in our garden now. I love the big blooms. They aren’t shy and very much a show stopper.

A Special Card for Mother’s Day – Hydrangea Hills

A Special Card for Mother’s Day – Hydrangea Hills Designer Series Paper – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

We made this card in my February Virtual Card Club that I host in my Facebook group. It was so cute I wanted to share it with you too. The Hydrangea suite of products in the mini catalogue is my favourite one out of the whole catalogue. As you know I am a sucker for anything floral and this ticks all my boxes. It has lovely stamps, paper, dies and of course embellishments, what more could a girl want?

I’ve matched the colours of the die cut hydrangeas to the paper, keeping everything in blue and purple tones. I want to draw you attention to the pastel pearls. They are simply gorgeous. Please do check them out as they coming in a few colours and yes, I’ve fallen in love with them.

Purple Posy – Beautiful Gift Bag – Make it Simple

Purple Posy – Beautiful Gift Bag – Make it Simple – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The colours here are Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. Don’t they go well together? I love it. I wish I had tried this combination earlier. This bag is very easy to make and looks so pretty. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets, “So Sentimental”. The crinkled seam binding just sets it off lovely.

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark – Snowflake Christmas Bookmark – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

As you most probably already know I am in love with the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This bookmark features the Snowflake Splendour stamp set.

I have used it here to stamp my own patterned paper. The two colours I’ve used are Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I was going to add Pacific Point blue but I felt it was too much and the two tones of purple worked well alone. The purple tri-coloured ribbon just finishes it off perfectly.

Stamping a blank piece of cardstock is a great way to create your own bespoke patterned paper in just the colours and design you wish. Everytime I do this I am so pleased with the results and wonder why I didn’t do more sooner.

What a Beauty – A Little Lace Birthday Card

What a Beauty – A Little Lace Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up! – Independant Stampin’ Up Demonstrator in Lincoln UK

I love this stamp set “A Little Lace” It is just beautiful. I’ve used it a few times before and every time I am just in awe of how pretty my projects turn out.

The colour used here is Gorgeous Grape. It is such a bold colour and contrasts so well with the Whisper White. I’ve done this layering technique before and have linked the project below. It is a simple technique but works well. The rhinestones just give that touch of bling and in all fairness who doesn’t need a little bling?

I hope you are all doing well. I’m quite far ahead in my blogging so when I write this we have got through a heatwave. Although I deal with the heat and didn’t even need the fan except for about 10 minutes a night I am glad the temperatures have come down. I wish we could have got some rain though as the grass is parched.

Ornate Thanks Card – Stampin’ Up!

This card features the Ornate thanks stamp set to make my ornate thanks card. The Ornate Garden suite of products has just been released. It will be in the new catalogue that launches in June but you can buy this suite early which I think is a special treat in the current circumstances.

This card is totally heat embossed using white embossing powder. I can you I made an absolute mess with the powder when I made this. There was powder everywhere. I didn’t manage to get into the pot very well. There was a silver lining as it meant I cleared my whole desk and gave it a good clean for the first time in longer than I care to admit.

I want to try and make some more thank you cards in the next few weeks. I am going to give this to staff in Waitrose and Tesco which are the two supermarkets I use the most. There are a couple of staff I know as they are always at the self-scan area. I use the scan and shop as I don’t want to lift the shopping any more than I have to. I have a repetitive strain injury in one arm and a frozen shoulder on the other. A thank you card would be nice for my postie too.

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.

I love this rainbow card. I’ve used up strips of cardstock that I had in my scrap pile and just added a sentiment and some rhinestones. I love how it came out, so bright and bold. A ray of sunshine to make me smile on this gloomy cloudy days.

The sentiment is from the set So Sentimental. I love these big and eye-catching sentiments. It pairs beautifully with the matching Stitched so Sweetly Dies.
