Flying Balloons – Under Umbrella – Stampin’ Up!

I have this fun card to share with you today. The flying balloons are carrying the wayward umbrella with them. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. It is so bright and full of joy.

I’ve kept to the primary colours here which keep the card simple and bright. This card just uses punches. I love punches as they make for quick and easy crafting.

The umbrella is coloured in using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. It is so cute!! It matches the blue in the balloons as well. I haven’t blown up balloons in ages. It would be fun to blow them up and decorate the house with them, something fun to cheer us up.

I used the eyelet embossing folder to give some interest in the background. I haven’t used embossing folders in ages and wanted to change that. They are an easy and simple way to add extra interest to a card.

Poppy Moments – Die Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

I absolutely love how this card turned out using the Poppy Moments set of dies. The dies allow you to cut out both the solid image and the highlights allowing you to create these realistic flowers and leaves.

In the UK, red poppies are a symbol of remembrance. I think personally they are also a symbol of the fact the life goes on. I love seeing the poppies in the grass verges in fields every year. The red poppies are so bold and vibrant and are a beautiful pop of colour against the green grass.

This card is perfect for someone who doesn’t like to stamp much as the die cuts do all the talking. I’ve used Real Red and the aptly named Poppy Parade for the poppies. The leaves are Old Olive and Shaded Spruce. I used Crumb Cake as the background colour as I felt white or black was too stark a contrast. The Crumb Cake is a lovely kraft neutral.

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.

Detailed Hearts Die – Valentine’s Day Card

I have this beautiful Valentine’s Day Card to share with you today. This uses the delicate Detailed Hearts Die. Oh my but’s so lovely and dainty. I love it!!

This die is part of the Valentine’s Day suite in the new catalogue. The colours in the paper are Flirty Flamingo and Real Red so I decided to design this card with the same colours.

The Detailed Hearts Die is all one die. Most of the little hearts pop out and I am saving these to use on a shaker card. You can hide the adhesive behind the few hearts that don’t pop out or use an adhesive sheet as I have done here.

I used the Scripty embossing folder on the real red piece to give it some added interest behind the die-cut. All in all, this is a very simple and easy card to make but really has that wow factor.

Rainbow Card – Use up your Scraps – Stampin’ Up!

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 colours I’ve used here are:

Real Red
Pumpkin Pie
Daffodil Delight
Granny Apple Green
Pacific Point
Highland Heather
Gorgeous Grape

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.

Timeless Tulips – Spotlighting – Stampin’ Up!

As followers of my blog will know, my favourite flowers are Tulips. I simply adore them. When I saw this the Timeless Tulips stamp set and matching punch I knew I had to have them.

I’ve kept the colours very simple with just red and white. I love the contrast between real red and whisper white. I spotlighted the actual tulip flower in red with a black stem to highlight this.

Tulips do signify the start of Spring and warm weather to me. They are beautiful blooms even when they are dying and the petals fall open like orchids.

I felt the white background was a little bland and so I ran it the through the Basket Weave embossing folder to give it some subtle texture. I’ve not been using my embossing folder for ages so I decided I must start using them more as well.

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.

Let it Snow Money Wallet and Christmas Card

I have a money wallet to share with you today using the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper as it so vibrant and happy. This is actually the first money wallet I have ever made as I never give money as a present. I will from time to time give a gift card but I still like to buy presents that show you have put thought and time into your gift.

This card doubles as a proper card as well as a money wallet. There is plenty of space inside the card to write your message. I’ve done very little in term of embellishments and stamping as the paper is busy and too many embellishments would look cluttered I feel.

The main colours are Coastal Cabana and Real Red and I have repeated these colours in the card for continuity. This is not a standard card size and you would need to make a bespoke envelope to go with it. I did this as I wanted the card to have plenty of room for the money and your message.

As this card has quite a layers I have used a hidden magnet to hold the front closed. I do love this paper and am sad it is retiring at the end of the year. I am making a mini album with my remaining sheets so I can enjoy it for years to come rather than it just sitting hidden in my stash.

Snowman Christmas Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I have a bright and fun Snowman Christmas Card to share with you today. I love the bold and colourful colours in the background that just make you smile on the grey days of winter weather.

This snowman looks so happy playing in the snowflakes. I have to say that I love red all year round but especially at Christmas. It makes the whole image just pop from the background.

The stamp set is Snowman Season. It has 3 different snowmen in it, one of which co-ordinates with a punch. I’ve used this one on a previous card which I will link below.

I’ve accented the card with rhinestones and the beautiful real red cotton ribbon. This ribbon is lovely and soft and therefore easy to make into a nice bow.

I feel sad that I haven’t used this DSP enough. I think I will make a mini album with it as well. This will work double fold as it makes something pretty and will use up all my spare DSP.

Oversized Merry Christmas Tag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely oversized Merry Christmas tag to share with you today. This tag can double as a card and tag as there is lots of space on the back to write your message. It is big and bold and yet has a very vintage feel to it.

The colours in this tag are the Real Red and Garden Green. They have been my number one Christmas colours for a number of years. The background colour is not white but very vanilla which gives a softer more shabby chic feel to the tag.

I have just stamped the tab but you could have heat embossed this with clear embossing powder to give a glossy finish. You could even use silver or gold embossing powder for a more metallic bling effect.

Measurements

Garden Green – 4 1/4″ X 5 3/4″
Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 4″ X 5 1/2″

Although you can’ see I have stamped the back of the tag with “To & From” from the Memories of Home stamp set. I’ve used both real red cotton ribbon and very vanilla lace trim which adds to the shabby chic feel of the tag.
