Heat Embossed Die Cutting

I have another technique video for you today – I was playing around a few weeks ago with heat embossing, and I am loving using my big shot at the moment – and this idea was born!

Stampin' Up! UK embossed die cutting technique video

I think I have shared a very similar card before, but this one is super special – those fabulous die cut words are shiny! I don’t think there is another stamp set I have used as much as Crazy About You, and I still adore those word thinlits too. They make such simple, versatile cards – great for mums, dads, boys, grandparents, sympathy, weddings, Easter, Christmas – Awesome – AND the die’s pop out so easily too.

Isn’t it fab! Share your creations with my in my facebook group!

Die Cut Birthday

Last week was James’ birthday. Guys birthday cards are always tricky, I try and keep things simple (and stay away from Pink!)

Stampin' Up! Uk mens birthday crazy about you

I love this card! It uses the Perpetual Birthday Calender Stamp set, stamped in Hello Honey, along with the ‘Birthday’ stamp from Crazy About You stamped in Lost Lagoon.

Crazy About You is available in a bundle with the Hello You thinlits dies – a collection of 4 word dies – Happy, Hello, Thanks and You – I’m finding myself reaching for these stamps and dies over and over again. I had a stall at a craft fair last weekend, and so many people made comment about these dies – ‘Wow, how did you do that?’ ‘Did you cut that yourself’ – Of course, I told the truth, I could NEVER hope to cut anything and it look this good!

Sale-a-bration on Sunday – Natures Perfection!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed Sale-a-bration week as much as I have!

Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st of March so you don’t have long left to grab the awesome stamps and accessories. Unfortunately the Blendabilities have been discontinued, and are no longer available.

 

My card for today, or rather, cards for today feature one of the new Sale-a-bration releases – Natures Perfection. Its a lovely mix of floral and leafy images, and is gloriously simple. I love it!

Stampin' Up! UK Natures Perfection Simply Wonderful

This first card is a mix of almost all the stamps in the set. I love bright colours, and here I have used Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive to create the frame of stamped images. I think this card would be gorgeous in neutral colours too… but I just couldn’t resist the lovely brights collection this time.

Stampin' Up! UK Natures Perfection Thinking of you

Onto something a whole lot simpler! The sentiment is from Crazy About You, and is stamped in Early Espresso to contract the Bermuda Bay of the flower. I love a versatile stamp set, and I think this proves that Natures Perfection is perfect for happy and sad occasions.

Stampin' Up! UK Natures Perfection Thanks

This final card is part of a Hostess gift I presented to one of my Sale-a-bration hostesses. As part of Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! challenged demonstrators to book 2 (or more) parties in March. Well, I managed it! and will soon be receiving my prize – another one of the many reasons I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. If you want to find out more about earning Free products, attending events, and making some great Stampin’ Friends, drop me a message HERE, or check out my Join Me page.

Sale-a-bration on Sunday – Stamping with Irresistibly Yours!

Welcome to another Sale-a-bration on Sunday!

A few weeks ago I demonstrating watercolouring on the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper, and well, today I thought I would try stamping on it!

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration SAB stamping irresistibly yours flowers

I selected the stripy paper from the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper pack, and stamped on it using the Something Lacy background stamp from the Spring/Summer catalogue, in Marina Mist ink. I just love the effect of this, and think it would look lovely with the Dictionary stamp or Positively Chevron

The flower is a series of flowers stamped and punched from Petite Petals, Flower Shop and Petal Potpourri, punched with the coordinating punches. I spotted this layer flower on another blog (I wish I could remember who’s, if it was you please leave a comment below) and just thought it was such a good idea! and so pretty.

The sentiment is from Crazy About You!

Fancy Fold Friday – Joy Fold Card

Hello and welcome to another Fancy Fold Friday!

Today I have Joy fold card for you, using In-colours from both 2013-2015 AND 2014-2016

Stampin' Up! UK Joy Fold Fancy Fold

 

I will be so sad when Coastal Cabana leaves us in June, its so pretty, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use it in this card. The other version uses the New In-Colours – Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey.

The card also features the Crazy About You stamp set and Hello You Thinlits, I love using thinlits like these, but getting all those bits and pieces out of the dies can be a bit of a pain. I know there are loads of tips on how to make this easier on YouTube (particularly after the release of those beautiful Butterfly Thinlits!) but I use the old fashioned method of poking through the holes of the die with my poky tool and allowing the bits of cardstock fall into a sandwich bag (rather than letting them loose all over my desk!)

Measurements:

Outer Card – 4 1/8 x 8 3/4″ (10.5 x 22.3 cm) Scored at 3″ (or 14.8 cm)

Inner Card – 3 x 8 1/4 (7.5 x 21 cm) Scored at 4 1/8 (10.5 cm)

Two pieces of Whisper White cardstock measuring 2 3/4 x 3 7/8″ (7 x 10 cm)

Happy Zoo Babies!

I have had this card sat on my hard drive for a little while, neglected, and lonely. The last few weeks have been insanely busy around here, working 65 hour weeks, hen parties, classes, and running the blog, but I’m hoping I’m back on an even keel again now. I have come to see how much I can do, and I have a habit of saying yes to anything and everything, and I just can’t do it all. So, after having to pull out of a craft fayre last weekend, I took a step back and realised what I can fit into my life! and currently, craft fayres are not it!

So, after that ramble, I have a lovely card for you today.

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies Hello You

I made this card before Christmas! for my cousin’s babies first birthday. I had just received my pre-order from the Spring/summer catalogue, so there are a few products used here.

For babies cards there is no stamp set better than Zoo Babies! I adore the cute animals and patterns, stamped in fun colours of course!

One of the first things to come out of my pre-order box was the lovely Hello You thinlits dies – four word dies; Happy, You, Thanks, and Hello, that work perfectly with the Crazy About You stamp set. So, well in fact that they come as a bundle! Crazy About You also comes in all 3 stamp types, Wood Mount, Clear Mount and Photopolymer! Awesome! These thinlit dies are fantastic, and so easy to cut and get back out of those dies! but I think my favourite thing about them is using the Transfer Adhesive Sheets to put them onto a card! If you haven’t experienced TAS yet, grab them now!

My favourite colour of the moment is still Lost Lagoon, and for a baby boy card it is perfect! paired with a piece of the Sweet Dreams DSP – lovely!

Happy Birthday…. thinlits edition!

Well, its still my Birthday week, so I’m still celebrating! My birthday and a catalogue launch in one week, busy times for me! but I love it!

Stampin' Up! UK Birthday card Crazy about you Hello you

This card uses a brand new stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue, Crazy about you. Before I get into the card I just want to mention this set, not only is a great set for sentiments and phrases, as well as three lovely floral images, but it comes bundledwith 3 thinlits dies – Hello You! I love it when Stampin’ Up! bundle stamps and dies (or stamps and DSP!) as it you save 15%! AND there is something even better about this stamp set! It comes in Wood Mount, Clear Mount AND Photopolymer! Awesome!

Onto the card….

I used a Melon Mambo card base today, with a Whisper White matt.

The leaves are from that lovely Crazy About You stamp set and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz (I think this is my favourite green!). I stamped the Birthday stamp in Pear Pizzazz on a scrap of Whisper White and cut it into a banner shape. Before layering it with a similarly cut scrap of Pink Pirouette and a piece of the Subtles Collection DSP stack in Wild Wasabi!

Then comes the greatest thing about this stamp/die bundle – the word thinlit dies! You get 4 in the pack: Happy, You, Thanks, and Hello! and the font its just so pretty! I used my Big Shot to die cut the word Happy from some more Melon Mambo, and used the Transfer Adhesive Sheets to adhere it to the card. Have I mentioned about Transfer Adhesive Sheets yet? they are perhaps the coolest adhesive I have ever used! You peel off the backing and apply your diecut to the glue, put the backing back over and rub to ensure the glue transfers, before peeling your die cut back off (carefully its now super sticky!) and putting it on your card! No longer do you have to spread wet glue as thinly as humanly possible over the back of a diecut, or attempt to stick them on with tape runner! Awesome!

Right, I think that is probably enough waffle for today!

have a great day and see you again tomorrow for Fancy Fold Friday!!!
