This card is perfect for those of you who prefer the more subtle muted colours in the Stampin’ Up range. It is colourful but not overly bright and bold. For once, I’ve not used Basic White cardstock but Very Vanilla. It just adds to this muted slightly vintage style I was going for.

The patterned paper is Inked Botanical. I love the mixture of colours in the collection. I’ve only used half a sheet of cardstock for each card but extended the feel of the paper through stamping. The little strip of going foil sheet just adds a touch of luxury to the card design.

This cute little box holds 4 reels of love hearts. It has a pull tie at one end to make opening easy and reinforced ends. It’s straightforward to make and would be a lovely little gift. You could use these as table favours or even in kid’s goody bags.

I don’t know about you but I remember as a child using matchboxes to make furniture for my doll’s house. A big matchbox cut in two piled one on top of the other made a great chest of drawers.

Razzleberry Hearts make for a Happy Birthday

Razzleberry Hearts for a Happy Birthday – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Razzleberry Hearts make for a Happy Birthday - Stampin' Up!
Razzleberry Hearts make for a Happy Birthday – Stampin’ Up!

I love how this card turned out. The Plaid Tidings designer series paper (DSP) is becoming a firm favourite of mine. It is great for all cards not just Christmas or Autumn ones. The tone on tone of the Rich Razzleberry is just so pretty.

The heart is punched out using one of the heart punches from the heart punch pack. One of the hearts has this scalloped edge to it and the other is straight. They of course coordinate with hearts in the Heartfelt stamp set as well. They are very versatile and a great addition to my stash.

  • Rich Razzleberry A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm

Birthday Hearts – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and definitely red birthday hearts card to share with you today. Normally I don’t like lots of hearts but I seriously love the From My Heart designer series paper (DSP). I think it’s because it is red and I adore red.

Birthday Hearts - From My Heart - Stampin' Up!
Birthday Hearts – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

This card is very easy to make but still quite striking. I made another one where I had the hearts in a row so changed it up this time and made them in a column and it works well.

This paper was used a lot for Valentine’s Day and then forgot about which is sad. As you can see here it works well for birthdays or even friendship or thank you cards.

As I am writing this I am thinking that we could all do with a little extra love right now. How are you coping with the restrictions? I am in the UK and our restrictions are easing. I’m not too sure about this. My degree a long time ago was Molecular Biology and therefore I have to say I enjoy all the statistical data we are given and reading up about the science of it all. At the same time, it scares me as I know how easily things can go wrong as well.

Enough of the doom and gloom though and back to the card. I’ve used the colours in the DSP and punched the hearts out using the matching heart punch pack. The sentiment is from Butterfly Wishes and the font and size is great to fit in the timeless label punch.

I have this cute card to share with you today that I’m calling From My Heart Balloons. It combines both the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Balloon Bouquet punch.

From My Heart Balloons - Card Tutorial
From My Heart Balloons – Card Tutorial

I love that Stampin’ Up! makes coordination so easy but I need to remember that just because a suite of products has specific items in it, they can be mix and matched with all the other items in the catalogue. Here, I ‘ve used scraps of the From My Heart DSP not with the coordinating Heart punch but with the Balloon Bouquet punch to create heart patterned balloons.

I love the way the balloons are carrying the sentiment along in the wind. Indeed with the wind we’ve been having, I’m surprised they are not halfway to France by now.

measurements

  • Flirty Flamingo A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I will admit I’m not the over-romantic sort and so paper covered in hearts would not normally appeal to me but I love this collection. I think it is because I love Real Red which is the red in this collection.

Maltesers Box – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

This box turns a simple box of Maltesers into something special. It is very easy to make and the paper does all the talking.

Malteser Box - From My Heart - Stampin' Up!
Maltesers Box – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

As I said this is a great way to jazz up a box of Maltesers. I’ve used the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is a great paper for Valentines’Day but also for any occasion when you want to celebrate someone. I love the foiling on each sheet which adds a touch of luxury.

The box is made in the style of a pizza box from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper. This includes the belly band. I would love to send this to an old school friend of mine in Sydney but I don’t think it would hold up in the post so I will have to send it via this blog.

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’m back with this gorgeous punched love hearts card. This project uses products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue. Real Red is one of my favourite colours and here is paired with a colour I never use Flirty Flamingo. I think they go together rather well.

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial - Stampin' Up!
Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

The designer series paper (DSP), “From My Heart” is beautiful. It has foiled hearts in both Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. The hearts are punched out with the duo pack hearts punch. I’ve fussy cut out the small hearts.

There are quite a few new punches in the new catalogue. I love this return to punches as they make for easy and simple crafting. They are easy to use in classes and require no additional machine to use.
