This is a companion card to the gift box that I made in the previous blog post. They both use the “You’re a Peach” designer series paper (DSP). This is a really easy card to make but still has that wow factor due to the heat embossed sentiment. It’s heat embossed in gold embossing powder to match the gold metallic sheet that I’ve used a mat for both the sentiment and DSP.

  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm

Colour me Beautiful – Grateful Card – Beautiful Penned DSP – Ornate Thanks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card uses only one colour, Polished Pink, I don’t count black and white as colours and doesn’t it look fabulous. I love pink flowers they are so bold and happy. These flowers are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. A firm favourite of mine to colour with as they make shading so easy.

  • A6 Cardbase in Polished Pink – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then cut in half
  • Beautifull Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.85cm X 10cm cut in three pannells.

I love making these cards with big, bold sentiments. They pop and make a real statement. The stamp set I used is “Ornate Thanks”. I used the heck out of this set. It’s one of my favourites. The designer series paper (DSP) is the “Oh So Ombre” pack. It is one of the items you can get free during Sale-a-bration and it’s Bermuda Bay!! A favourite colour of mine. What could be better.

Strips – Using Your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

I love being able to use up my scraps. This card uses strips of patterned paper cut at wonky angles to create this great card. A great sentiment is all you need to finish off this card.

Strips - Using Your Scraps - Stampin' Up!
Strips – Using Your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

This paper is the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is so pretty and I really enjoying using it time and time again. I’ve started to plan my mini album with this DSP to hold all my summer flower pictures from our own garden and all the surrounding villages.

I’ve long made cards using scraps but my upline Amanda Fowler showed me this technique using wonky cut pieces of paper and leaving gaps between each strip. It is quiet effective don’t you think?

measurements

  • Just Jade A6 Card base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Strips of Flowers for Every Season cut across at an angle

I love driving around in the summer and seeing all the pretty gardens. The village of Nettleham, about 10 minutes from us is especially pretty. The local garden nursery sponsors hanging baskets outside various establishments and they always look amazing.

Thank you for coming by. I hope you enjoyed this card. The supply list and video tutorial are below. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative.

So Grateful – Gratitude Card – Stampin’ Up!

This is a very simple card to express how grateful if you are to someone special. In the current circumstances I am so grateful that my mother is safe and sound with me. She is the only family I have in the UK and I am glad that I can be there for her as she is for me.

This designer series paper (DSP) is from the Ornate Garden suite of products in the new catalogue. This paper is beautiful. These flowers would look beautiful fussy cut, though fussy cutting is not my forte. This sentiment is bold with a great font, my favourite type.

I’ve double matted the sentiment, firstly with terracotta tile cardstock and then with the ribbon. I think it gives it that little something extra.

I love this Thank you sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set. The font is great and it a lovely size to make an easy and simple card. Blue is my favourite colour and I love all the different blues in this card. I am normally scared to mix patterns but they work well here as they are all from the same collection and the colours are similar.

  • Night of Navy A6 Card base – This is a A4 Sheet cut in half and then folded in half

  • Come Sail Away – 12cm x 5cm

I have not used this DSP much this last year and think there will a few sheets going into my stash. I’m hoping next year I can do better and have very little going into my stash.

I hope you are all doing well. I’ve managed to get all my projects completed until the beginning of June which I am so pleased about. My preorder for new catalogue goodies is done and am eagerly waiting for my delivery. I am writing this on 11th May so hopefully by the time you are reading this I will have it and be ready to share a haul video.

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.

Blue Poppies - Himalayan Blue Poppy
Blue Poppies – Himalayan Blue Poppy

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.

measurements

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

other floral projects

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 and More Thank Yous – Ornate Thanks

I have another thank you card to share with you today. I seem to be making more and more thank yous at the moment. This card uses the Ornate Thanks stamp set. I love the big & bold sentiments.

The designer series paper (DSP) is called Perennial Essence. I loved this paper when it came out and I have only used it ONCE!! Bad me!! I’ve used it again today and I still love it. It is so pretty and floral. I’ve cut a strip into the three smaller strips so that it looks like you are seeing the scene through a window.

The pinks in the DSP are Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink and I used these again in the cardstock and ink so that the card feels harmonious.

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Petal Pink – 4.7cm x 10cm
  • Petal Pink – 3cm x 11cm
  • Whisper White – 2.5cm x 10cm
  • Perennial Essence – 4.2cm x 9.5cm

I am glad that we seemed to be blessed with good weather. It is so much more pleasant to look at a sunny garden that a dreary wet one. In the UK we have now been on “lockdown” 5 weeks and it is becoming, unfortunately, more normal. We are coping ok though I do find it hard not being to drive to the next village for a walk in the fields. I am so grateful that I have crafting to keep me busy and sane in the mean time.

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.

Ornate Thanks Card - Stampin' Up!
Ornate Thanks Card – Stampin’ Up!

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.
