Make a little Gift Box – Tealights – Treat

Make a little Gift Box – Tealights – Treat – Flowers for Every Season DSP – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this style of box many times. It is a pizza style box with the lid and sides that fold over. Very simple and easy to make. Misty Moonlight is the blue colour and what a blue!! It is not too light and not dark like Night of Navy, just the perfect mix. The ribbon of course matches and it a beautifully soft cotton ribbon that makes a bow even for those of us that are bow challenged!!

Blue Poppies – Himalayan Blue Poppy

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today using blue poppies. This card is my interpretation of the Himalayan blue poppy. This is a pretty blue flower with a little yellow centre. When I saw it I knew I wanted to try and make a card around this idea.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and I hope you like it to. The card is mainly die cutting. The l ight blue is Balmy Blue and the Pacific Point gives a contrast to the flower. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz (Light Green) and Old Olive (Dark Green)

The die set does come with a die to cut out flower centres but I thought these gold faceted gems work perfectly and also give some bling to the card. These gems are unfortunately retiring but still available as I write this.

I did some research on the Himalayan blue poppy. It was formally named in 1912 by Lt. Col. Frederick Marshman Bailey. It is hardy in much of the UK and is perennial so comes back every year. How great is that? I definitely want to try and grow some in the garden. They would look gorgeous in a cottage garden.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I had fun making it. The die is Poppy Moments and I intend to give it a good work out. I think I will try making some yellow and orange poppies next either to use on a card or as an embellishment on a bag or box. I think this die set would be fabulous to make scrapbooking embellishments especially if you are doing a page about the 75th anniversary of VE day.

More Poppies -Peaceful Poppies – Stampin’ Up!

Yes that is right, more poppies to share with you. I am truly in love with this suite of products and will be so sad to see the designer series paper retire in a few weeks time. The stamp sets and dies from the suite are continuing, much to my relief.

As I said, I love this paper. I know that I shouldn’t really buy a second pack as it will retire before I can make more projects to share with you but I want to have it so I don’t lose it. I am sure those paper hoarders among you, know what I mean.

This card is super simple to make. I love the bright vibrancy of the poppies. I debated for a while where to add a sentiment but I didn’t want to cover the images so I went with a small one in the bottom right hand corner that says many thanks. This is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set. This is a great set as it has a ton of different greetings for all occasion of cards. I find myself using it time and time again.

What are your favourite flowers? I love all flowers. They are so beautiful, a vision of perfection. My favourite flower though is the tulip and I am glad to say the tulip stamp set and accompanying punch are carrying over to the new catalogue.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I am trying my best though it is not easy at times. It has made me realise how much we value our freedom and how precious it is. Also, how lucky we are to have had that freedom and all that we still have.

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.

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.
