This is a card we made in a recent card club. I host a virtual card club in my Facebook group each month. This is a cute double easel card using the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (DSP). The pattern has an autumnal theme and I though the little hedgehog matched perfectly with it.

I Just Wanted to Say Thank You – Card – Art Gallery

I Just Wanted to Say Thank You – Card – Art Gallery – Two Step Stamping – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve used them a number of times and they are always the star of the show. In and around Lincoln I’ve been seeing lots of red poppies. This inspired me to do some red flowers for this card. The gilded gems for the flower centres are the perfect finishing touch.

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat – A Wish for Everything – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was struggling to find an idea for a little gift box so I turned to good old Pinterest. I found an idea for box like this with a curved lid but boy oh boy did I struggle with what paper, what size I wanted it to be. In the end it turned out cute and it easy to make.

The lovely designer series paper (DSP) is “Well Suited” from the mini catalogue. I love this bright Poppy Parade red and it contrasts so well with the Night of Navy in the cardstock and little flowers. The paper flowers are made using the Small Blooms punch and mimic the little flowers in the DSP.

measurements

Night of Navy Cardstock – 6″ X 4 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ on each side.
Well Suited DSP – 6 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ at either end of the long side.

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle

Make it Simple – Birthday Card – Squares / Rectangle – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a simple card design using squares and rectangles to create pops of colour and interest. I’ve used the Lace 3D embossing folder to emboss the basic white piece. It is absolutely gorgeous and gives a lovely deep emboss. The yellow; Daffodil Delight and the red; Poppy Parade go well together as they are in the same quadrant of the colour wheel. The overall effect is bright and sunny.

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card – Painted Poppies – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card to make but it is simply stunning if I do say so myself. The stamp set is Painted Poppies and the other aptly enough is Poppy Parade. When the poppy suite came out in the mini catalogue last year, I was in love. I’ve used it numerous times and I will be keeping this set forever, even after it perhaps retires. I will link some of the other projects I’ve used it in below.

I stamped the image of the poppies twice to get a long enough panel and then coloured them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Isn’t great how everything matches in the world of Stampin’ Up!

Make a Cute Bag with a Square Base using the Berry Delightful DSP. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

How many of you search Pinterest for inspiration? Yes, I’ve fallen down that rabbit hole. I saw this project on there and adapted it to my own style. I hope you like it. This designer series paper (DSP) is Berry Delightful. It’s beautiful and reminds me of summer. Personally, I can’t wait for summer. Do you grow any fruit? We do grow vegetables but not fruit, perhaps this year we might try some strawberries.

How to Make an Easy Christmas Ornament

How to Make an Easy Christmas Ornament – Freezin’ Friends Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I made one of these last year and I wanted to make more again using the fun Freezin’ Friends stamp set. The plan was to make a huge amount of these and sell them at various Christmas fairs but as you know that has fallen through the floor like a ton of bricks. I’m therefore sharing my little decorations with you.

I’ve coloured in both images with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The images are stamped in memento onto whisper white cardstock and then cut out. The penguin image was fussy cut out and the rabbit was die cut out with the white border. Tell me which you prefer, with the white border or without!

I did initially stamp these directly onto the MDF and coloured the images in with the Stampin’ Write Markers. THe images seemed to bleed and were very muted against the background. Stamping on Whisper White and then adhering that to the MDF works perfectly.

Try Something New -Embossed Resist Technique

Try Something New – Embossed Resist Technique – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I felt like trying something new in my cardmaking. I have done the embossed resist technique a few times before but not for a long time.

Sponging ink on to my cardstock have always been a technique I struggled with. The sponge squeaks and it comes out super blotchy. I struggle to blend the colours. I was watching various videos on YouTube and I saw someone use these oval make up blending brushes. They work great!! I’m so chuffed.

I’ve embossed the background with clear embossing powder and the Stacked Stone background stamp set. When you sponge the ink, it will only take where there is no embossing. The clear embossed sections will resist the ink.

Packaging for Printed Poppy Candle – Stampin’ Up!

Yesterday I showed how I made this gorgeous printed poppy candle. Today I thought I would show you the packaging for the candle. I had created this lovely little candle and I thought it deserved nice packaging to make it a special gift.

In the world of Stampin’ Up! everything coordinates and this making a little gift so easy. I’ve used poppy parade ribbon, paper and ink here. The stamp is Butterfly Wishes and makes this lovely little tag. I’ve used the Poppy elements for the embellishment.

This is an 8″ X 6″ cello bag. It has no gusset but with a little manipulation I created one with some poppy parade card, The weight of the candle keeps everything in place.

As I already said I am in love with this suite or products. I do hope the stamps and dies don’t retire yet as I am not finished having fun as yet. I love the red poppies in the grass verge. They looks so vibrant and full of life. They make me happy which is never a bad thing.

Printed Poppy Candle – Painted Poppies

I have fallen in love with the Poppy suite of products in the Spring / Summer catalogue. Here I’ve used the Painted Poppies stamp set to create this printed poppy candle. I’ve not printed a candle in years and was so please with the way it turned out.

I’ve shown this candle in the packaging I created, making the packaging will be my next video. I’ve used a very simple white pillar candle that has been sitting in my stash for simply ages. I wanted to create a gift as of course, we can’t go shopping at the moment.

how did i do it?

I used some tissue paper from my stash to make this. If you have bought the shimmer detailed laser cut designer series paper (DSP) you will find tissue paper separating each page. This is a perfect way to upcycle it. I measured the circumference and height of the candle and then cut out a piece of tissue paper to match.

I’ve stamped using an archival quality ink such as stazon so it won’t run when heated. The colouring in did pose a problem to me as I was afraid that it might run when heated or bleed out of the lines. I decided just to use the Stampin’ Write Markers in the aptly named Poppy Parade. This worked perfectly!!! A word of warning though, it doesn’t bleed out of the lines but did go straight through the paper. I coloured in on my grid paper to stop my desk looking like a murder scene!!
