Purple Posy – Beautiful Gift Bag – Make it Simple – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The colours here are Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. Don’t they go well together? I love it. I wish I had tried this combination earlier. This bag is very easy to make and looks so pretty. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets, “So Sentimental”. The crinkled seam binding just sets it off lovely.

Make a Dragonfly Striped Thank You Card

Make a Dragonfly Striped Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This dragonfly is from a new stamp set called “Dragonfly Garden”. It also comes with a matching punch. The designer series paper (DSP), the stamp set and punch were part of a bundle of products we could order ahead of Onstage at Home. Onstage at Home was our virtual convention that happened through the magic of computers. We used these items for the make and takes and I have been waiting for ages to share it with you.

What Beautiful Flowers – Ornate Garden

What Beautiful Flowers – Ornate Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The colour used here is Bumble Bee and what a pretty yellow it is. The green is Old Olive. If you know your colour theory then you will know that yellow and green are next to each on the colour wheel and so they sit well together. They are friends in other words.

I love big sentiment cards such as these. The sentiment comes from a favourite set of mine So Sentimental. I love this set as it has a great array of sentiments and is so versatile. I’ve used it many times and will link some projects using them below.

Yummy Treats – Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this cute little gift bag to share with you today. It is perfect bag to give with some yummy treats. I have used chocolates here but you could equally have biscuits or sweets.

The designer series paper (DSP) is the Artistry Blooms paper and I love the ombre effect. I had to raid my mother’s stash of chocolates as I don’t them. As a Type 1 Diabetic and I find it just too difficult to match my insulin to the sugar in the chocolates with it causing issues so I don’t bother. I was never a chocolate fan so it’s no great loss to me. Head the warning though, never eat chocolates or sweets found in my craft room as they will be years and years old!!!

I think a little stack of biscuits would have looked good. Unfortunately, I haven’t baked in years. I did in London but here we have a fancy oven with sorts of programmes, bottom heat, top heat, circa roasting etc… I’m not sure which to use for baking and don’t want to ruin the biscuits so sadly I haven’t tried at all.

In-Colours Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have a simple card to share with you today. It is an in-colours thank you card. It features Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness. I think these are my two favourite new colours. I love them and plan to use them again and again.

I think these two colours go so well together. The white also makes them pop. I am really loving the new patterns in the in-colour designer series paper. They are so fun. The strip of blue on the left hand side is actually Misty Moonlight ribbon. It is a gorgeous cotton type ribbon, beautifully soft and easy to tie into a bow, even for an idiot like me.

The thank you sentiment is from a set called So Sentimental. It is a favourite of mine and I have used it time and time again. It has a nice variety of sentiments in various fonts.

Bright and Fun Thank You Card – See a Silhouette

I love how bright and fun this card is. I’ve had this designer series paper (DSP) for ages and only used it once before. I am sad as it really is a lovely bold paper that is great for layering or adding that pop of colour to a project.

The sentiment on this card is from the stamp set So Sentimental and I love it. This stamp set is continuing and I am so pleased. I love sets that have big bold greetings as they make for easy and bold cards.

What types of cards are you finding you are making at the moment? I am doing a lot of thank you cards to hand out to people as I think it makes such a difference just to stay thank you for all the hard work people are doing.

From My Heart Balloons – Card Tutorial

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.

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

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.

Bright and Fun Card – So Sentimental – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and fun card to share you today. Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove are the two colours here. I can unequivocally state these are not my favourite colours at all. I find each colour on its own a bit too much so I came up with this idea and I think it works well. What do you think?

The pop of black around the sentiment and the large sentiment itself, I think really help to pull the whole card together. What pleased me the most though, was that I got to use up some of my Happiness Blooms enamel dots in the matching colours.

If you hold card classes I think this is also a great idea. You don’t have to have enough of each paper to make a full card, you can mix and match and everyone still can make the same style card.

Wishing you Much Happiness – Stampin’ Up!

I have another easy and simple card to share with you today. This is one of my single sentiment cards. I love the script on the sentiment that reads “Wishing you Much Happiness Today and Always”. I love big bold sentiments as they make for quick and easy cards.

Wishing you Happiness Card - Stampin' Up! — Wishing you Happiness Card – Stampin’ Up!

One of my goals this year is to use up as much of my current designer series paper (DSP) before it retires. This card uses the DSP from the 2018-2020 In-Colours, specifically Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel. I’ve always loved the combination of pink and blue. They look great together.

The stamp set used here is So Sentimental and comes in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The dies are stitched and the rectangle ones are scalloped as well. So versatile!!
