I love Poinsettia’s – Pretty Gift Bag for Mother

I love Poinsettia’s – Pretty Gift Bag for Mother – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

So what do you think of these pretty gift bags? I would love to received a gift in one of these, wouldn’t you?

Poinsettias, with their red leaves, just say Christmas time to me. I was surprised when I saw the Poinsettia Place designer series paper (DSP) and realised none of the poinsettias were red. Being a naturally curious person I decided to do a little research. I found that now there are different varieties of poinsettia with pale yellow, plum and dusty pink bracts.

These bags would be perfect for any time of the year. The berries are autumnal and the flowers do not ring out Christmas as they would with red leaves.

Soft Suede Handbag – All Dressed Up – Stampin’ Up!

I have his mock soft suede handbag using the All Dressed Up dies from Stampin’ Up! I love the soft suede and the gold details together. It just looks so elegant.

This die set is part of a bundle with the matching dress to impress stamp set that I have used here. The diet is very versatile as not only does it cut out this bag and all the embellishments but also the images from the stamp set such as a shoe and perfume bottle.

Are you a fashionista? I have to confess I’m not. I tend to go around in the same few sets of clothes each week. Leggings and jumpers are my favourite friends. Since I work from home I don’t have to dress up smartly for work either.

This project was meant to be part of YouTube hop but unfortunately due to the current pandemic many people have’t been able to participate as hoped. I will link below my fellow designers who have participated though.

Mosaic Mood Card Share – Stampin’ Up!

The Mosaic Mood designer series paper (DSP) is from the annual catalogue. I’ve used this on a number of projects last year and thought it was time for a revival. I’ve used both sides of one sheet to make this simple Mosaic Mood card. I love the sentiment as well. It is so beautiful.

The Mosaic Mood DSP has an embossed texture to mimic the tiles of a mosaic. The base colour is Mint Macaron which is a colour I hardly ever use but I think it actually works well with the Terracotta Tile in the DSP.

This is another card that is very simple and quick to make. I used the In Colour faceted dots as a cute accent to the sentiment. I’ve never used these even though I’ve had them since last year. I want to use them, so use them I did. I am determined to use what I have rather than it just sitting in my stash forever.

Grace’s Garden Floral Card Stampin’ Up!

I have this gorgeous card to share with you today featuring the Grace’s Garden stamp set and matching Garden Gate dies from Stampin’ Up!. I enjoyed creating this cottage garden scene. The purple flowers around the garden gate remind me of the wisteria over my lounge window.#

This card has a very shabby chic feel to it. I’ve embossed the very vanilla with the stone embossing folder from the sale-a-bration catalogue. The detail wasn’t showing up very well so I lightly sponged over it with Sahara Sand to bring out the details of the embossing and give it an aged appearance.

This card is actually based on one in the Spring / Summer catalogue. You cut the gate open in half to make this an interactive card but I decided against this as I wanted to place flowers in front of the gate.

The flowers are coloured in using the Stampin’ Write Markers. I scribbled some markers onto an acrylic stamping block and then picked up the colour using a blender pen.

I’ve combined two stamp sets to make this card. They are Barn Door and Grace’s Garden. They work well together I think. #

Happy Tails – A Card for Dog Lovers

I have a very simple and easy doggy card to share with you using the Happy tails set from Stampin’ Up!. This set has a great matching punch. I love punches as they are so easy to use and make cardmaking so quick and easy.

Happy Tails stamp set, perfect for a dog lovers card. — “Happy Tails” stamp set, perfect for a dog lovers card.

This card is super cute with the little paw prints leading from the doggy to the sentiment. I just love it. To be frank I am more a cat person nowadays that a dog person. Saying that I still do enjoy watching the dogs running free in the park. Animals do know how to live in the moment and not worry about the future. I find that so beautiful to watch.
