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.

The lattie work in the background of this card is all one die called the Many Medallions diet. I’ve used adhesive sheet to glue it to my cardstock so that I am not struggling with tiny beads of glue oozing it everywhere. It does make for a stunning backdrop for my sentiment. As usual I’ve used bold colours for a contrast so that everything pops from the page.

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I do love the colour red and for me red is not just for Christmas. I’m not really into pastels, I love bright and bold colours. Which do you prefer?

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. I love it. It uses a few new items to my stash. The new mini catalogue went live on 4th August. The Heartwarming designer series paper is from a new suite of products called Heartwarming Hugs.

Have you noticed the fantastic bow on the card? This is the new Gift Wrapped stamp set that has a matching gift bow builder punch. There are three different designs of bow that can be punched out. How you colour them is up to you!!!

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers. Thank you card Tutorial using products from Stampin’! Up!

I love the Flowers for Every Season designer series paper (DSP) but I wanted to find a different way to use it. I went on Pinterest to look for inspiration and I saw people using banners. Hence I made this thank you card.

What Better Way to Say thank you, than with Flowers

One of my goals this year is to use the product I have. I have a tendency like a lot of crafters to hoard product and not use what I buy. I love getting new stuff, but now I get, I need to use. My strategy is not always successful but I’m getting better at it. One thing I alway buy and never use are embossing folders. The one used here is the Lace 3D folder. Isn’t pretty? I’m so pleased I pulled it out and used it. I’ve many more ideas of how to use this pretty embossing folder.

  • Misty Moonlight A6 cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm

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.

In-Colours Thank You Card - Stampin' Up!
In-Colours Thank You Card – Stampin’ Up!

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.

measurements

  • A6 cardbase in Misty Moonlight – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 10cm x 10cm
  • Magenta Madness Designer Series Paper – 9.5cm x 9.5cm
  • Magenta Madness Designers Series Paper – 10cm x 5cm

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.

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.

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

  • 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.

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

Monochromatic – Thank you Card – A Little Lace

I have this gorgeous monochromatic thank you card to share with you today. This colour uses one of my favourite colours, Bermuda Bay. I love the rich vibrancy of this colour against the whisper white. It works well. What do you think?

Monochromatic - Thank you Card - A Little Lace
Monochromatic – Thank you Card – A Little Lace

A Little Lace is a gorgeous stamp set. I’ve used it before to stamp my own patterned paper to make a bag. I’ll link the video below. This is a great set as it contains sentiments and this lovely lace stamp. Last time I used Melon Mambo and it looked equally

Everything can do with some bling at times. I’ve used the clear faceted gems in the flower centres for some sparkle. They really lift the card and make it come alive.

I will admit that in the last week I feel as I’ve lost my mojo. I am struggling with words to write this blog. Is anyone else feeling the same, I have all the time in the world to craft but just don’t feel like it. Typical!!

This card uses an old technique. I don’t know what is called. I stamped all three white layers together and then separated them so that pattern continues across all the pieces.

measurements

  • Whisper White:
    • 14.35cm x 10cm
    • 11.85cm x 7.5cm
    • 9.35cm x 5cm
  • Bermuda Bay:
    • 12.35cm x 8cm
    • 9.85cm x 5.5cm
    • A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

The thank you sentiment is from the Label Me Pretty stamp set, an older one but still a great one. I’ve used punches so there is no need for any die cutting here.
