Funnily enough, I’ve used the punch that goes with the Petal Park stamp set more than the actual stamp set. I love punches and I hoard them. There is a huge collection in my retired drawers. I wanted to use the stamp set though and this is the card I came up with.

The leaves are actually the same stamp, once stamped the right way up and then again upside down. At first, the two areas of foliage looked very weird even after I added the flowers. The sentiment between the two foliage elements brought the card together.

I am a total sucker for floral stamp sets. I love them. Flowers do make me happy. I have endless photos of them. Beautifully Happy is a freebie I got from Sale-a-bration (SAB) this year. During SAB you can get a freebie from the SAB catalogue for every qualifying purchase.

It is a two-step stamping set. The stamps are so easy to line up and the Stamperatus makes the whole thing super easy. You could make this card in all colours of the rainbow. It would make a lovely set to give as a special gift.

How to Use the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set – Tulip Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

As I have said ad infinitum my favourite flowers are tulips. I love them. This bunch of tulips makes me so happy. I’ve made it into a mother’s day card as mother’s day is on 27th March here in the UK. The Flowering of Tulips stamp set is a two-step stamp set. I used the stamparatus to stamp it and made the stamping so easy.

measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm. I cut this pannel down when I’ve made the card.

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card – Hello Ladybug – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Look at these adorable ladybirds. I found out that in North America they say Ladbug but we in the UK of course say Ladybird. It really is amazing how many differences they are between proper English and American English.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set comes with a matching punch which I haven’t used here. This is just the same stamp repeat stamped. It is a two step stamping set and really easy to line by hand. I didn’t use the stamparatus and these ladybirds came out great.

Dahlias are beautiful flowers. I love going to our local nursery and seeing the sea of blooms. It’s so difficult to resist buying them all!! My favourite are the Waterfly style ones as opposed to the PomPom and Cactus styles. The bees also prefer the more open flowers as it’s easier to reach the pollen.

The background seemed too plain to me so I embossed it with the Bloom 3D embossing folder to give it some added interest. It works well without taking anything away from the focal image.

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.

I made this cute card to send to a friend who just went into hospital now in April when I’m writing this. I will have this to her by the time this goes live and wanted to share it with you.

This is the Hand-Penned suite of products from Stampin’ Up! and it is new in the new annual catalogue. If you don’t have a copy of the catalogue and want one, then just click here to request one. This suite has a glorious stamp set, matching dies and of course pretty paper. I’ve used them all on this card. It is a two-step stamp set which the Stamparatus makes a doddle to use.

I love the new colour Pale Papaya. In South Africa where my mother’s family reside we call papaya, pawpaw so you will most probably hear me refer to it like that from now on.

I love how this card turned out. These flowers are so pretty. They were super easy to create using the Stamparatus. The stamp set is Art Gallery and it’s a two-step stamping set. Check out the video below for some tips & tricks for using the Stamparatus that make two-step stamping a breeze. Bermuda is my favourite colour and even though it may not be a typical colour for a flower I think they look amazing.

When I showed my mother this card she was in awe of these flowers. They stamp so beautifully and look realistic. I used the stamparatus stamping tool and had not problem lining up the layers. I started with my lightest colour working towards the darkest. The stamp set is All things Fabulous and of course has matching dies to cut everything out, making super duper easy to make this card.

Cute Little Critter Magnet – Special Someone

I have this magnet featuring this cute little critter. How sweet is it? I made this to give to my mother, whose birthday was on the 9th July. Simple and sweet. I love the little pop of colour from the Magenta Madness coloured butterflies.

Cute Little Critter Magnet - Special Someone
Cute Little Critter Magnet – Special Someone

To me, this little critter is a squirrel. As a child I used to love watching and feeding the squirrels in Kensington Gardens. They were mainly in the flower walk and were so tame to eat the nuts out of your hand. All hell broke out though if two of them went for the same nut and they used to chase each other up and down the trees.

I don’t seem many squirrels here in Lincoln but there are a couple that frequent our garden from time to time. Unfortunately, they are all grey ones. I would love to see a red squirrel in person. In the UK the grey squirrel has taken over and you can only find the red ones mainly in Scotland.

I bought the magnet base online and then measured my piece of whisper white to the same size as the internal paper in the magnet. It makes for quick and easy project and would be great for kids.
