Updated Swatch Book | 2016-2018 In Colours

Stampin' Up! UK swatch book

Hello!

I had several requests to update my Swatch Book to include this years new In-Colours, and I have to admit that I had created the PDF’s for these before the catalogue went live, but for some reason didn’t get to uploading them, so for that I am sorry, but better late than never, right?

Ok, so to create the Swatch Book you need the PDF’s too;

To add the new colours download the Current In-Colours PDF

Thanks so much for loving and using my Swatch Book as much as I do

A Gift of Night of Navy

Gift of Love Hostess Exclusive 2 step stamping card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Hello July! I can’t believe we are already well into the Summer (not that the weather has realised!). I am so looking forward to this month, check back tomorrow for the launch of my new Stamp of the Month Club.

Gift of Love Hostess Exclusive 2 step stamping card using Stampin' Up! UK products

I love this colour combination; Night of Navy, Watermelon Wonder and Emerald Envy. The Night of Navy really makes the other two colours pop without the harshness of Black.

This stamp set is just awesome too. Gift of Love is one of the new Hostess Exclusive stamp sets that launched in June. In order to get this one you have to host a party with me, or place an order of over £150. It is designed to use the 2-step stamping technique, where the outline image is stamped first and then the solid images are added after.

Gifts of Love 2 step stamping Stampin' Up! UKI’ve been playing with distressed edges a little bit recently too. Here the layer of Whisper White and the layer of Watermelon Wonder were distressed with my fingernail. I know that the Paper Piercing packs have been retired, but I still love the look so I have added some pierced holes too.

The card is finished with a card base in Night of Navy, embossed with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

Sailing Away with a Swirly Bird

Sailing Boat Thank You Card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up! UK

You guys know how much I love a stamp set that I can use in multiple different way for multiple different occasions, and Swirly Bird is definitely one of those stamp sets that I am head over heals with!

Sailing Boat Thank You Card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up! UK

How cute is this card?! I think it would be an awesome card for a little boys birthday, or a Hello baby boy card, however I have plumped for my standard Thank You card (I make so many Thank You cards I love having a heap on hand at all times for all you lovely customers and blog readers).

The boat is actually from the Swirly Bird stamp set! There are heaps of images in this stamp set, a boat, a bird, swirly bits and bobs, great fun.

Boat Boy Birthday Swirly Bird Stampin' Up!The ‘sea’ is one of the dies from the coordinating die bundle – Swirly Scribbles – in Pool Party to match the Pool Party / Dapper Denim / Rose Red Boat. I’ve actually in-lay die cut it this time, but my goodness it was tricky, definitely one to do if you have plenty of time!

Sitting Here One Layer Card

One Layer Card using Sitting Here from Stampin' Up! UK

I love a simple card, don’t you. This card is super simple, a simple stamped one layer wonder!

One Layer Card using Sitting Here from Stampin' Up! UK

My July Technique Class booking closes today, this month we are trying Masking. This stamp set – Sitting Here – is perfect for this one, although I promise that not all the cards we are making at class are as simple as this one!

The trick here is to stamp the cushion first, then mask it off with a piece of sticky note (or copy paper would work) and stamp the Swing Bench over the top. I love using Masking on my cards, and will often mask of an area for my sentiment, I would love you to join me at Class. To book your place drop me an email today!

Make It Monday | Floral Phrases

congratulations cards using Floral Phrases bundle from Stampin' Up! UK

I think this suite would be my number one choice for wedding stationary this year. I am totally in love with the large, intricate dies (although I have to say that these dies are the reason that the Big Shot Die Brush is an awesome purchase!) and the coordinating stamp set is just beautiful

Make It Monday floral phrases congratulations card video tutorial using Stampin' Up! UK products

I really struggled to make anything with this awesome suite when they first arrived on my desk. I think because they are shown in Night of Navy in the catalogue (which I just adore) I found stamping or die cutting in any other colour really tricky. So, I decided to stamp a heap of different colours – as you can see in the video – and I am rather pleased to report that I feel much freer about this bundle now. Although I think I will have to make something with this and Night of Navy eventually!

I’m trying some different things with my photography over the next few weeks, as well as changing my video set up! I would love to hear what you think, please feel free to leave comments in the comments section at the bottom of this post.

These would be a lovely cards to receive as a Wedding Congratulations card, or even to send as Save the Dates or Wedding Invitations. I cannot wait to get to play with these dies again, they are just so pretty.

Love and Affection Birthday Card

Birthday card using Love and Affection from Stampin' Up! UK

Ok, so some of my email subscribers may have already seen this blog post as it went live on Saturday morning as part of the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop, however at the time of it going live I was sat in the middle of a field camping with my family and wasn’t able to deal with an issue. So, instead I thought I would post it this evening. If you would like to see what the other ladies made with this fab sketch you can hop from Anna’s blog HERE!
Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Sketch June 2016This months sketch is brought to us by the fabulous Keren Howell from Tuppence Coloured. I cannot wait to get home and see what the girls have done with it!

Birthday card using Love and Affection from Stampin' Up! UK

I’ve been using the Love and Affection stamp set and the Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper a lot this month as it has featured as my Stamp of the Month. I’m still loving the colour combination in the papers and the gorgeous flowers in the stamp set.

Anyone has visits my blog on a regular basis knows that I’m a bit of a watercolour addict (although I haven’t done any of a little bit, too distracted by shiny new stamps!) and so they won’t be too shocked to find that I have watercolored the flowers and leaves on this card

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Love and Affection Birthday Card Stampin' Up! UkThe Designer Series Paper features flowers in Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight, so I have mirrored that on my piece, and added some leaves in Cucumber Crush. The Designer Series Paper also features some gorgeous copper accents, which I have also picked out on my card with some loops of the stunning new copper metallic thread and some copper heat embossing.

The sentiment, as it goes, isn’t from the Love and Affection stamp set, but is from Endless Birthday Wishes – I am a sucker for a pretty font, and I love the combination of these two, the cute little happy, and the swirly birthday. So pretty.

Sitting Here….

Sitting Here from Stampin' Up! UK

One of my favourite parts of my business is connecting with you guys; whether it be here on my blog, over on Facebook, or at one of my Live Events, I really enjoy chatting and sharing stamping with you. I’m currently prepping for my July events; Stamp of the Month Club and my Techniques Class, and have been making heaps of samples with the stamp sets I’m planning on using.

Sitting Here from Stampin' Up! UK

This card was totally inspired by this YouTube video from UnderstandBlue. My July Technique class is all about Masking, and we are using the Sitting Here stamp set from Stampin’ Up! (of course!) and while this card doesn’t use the masking technique at all, I had heaps of fun colouring those cushions!

The swing seat was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder – side note: black card stock is the reason the Embossing buddy exists, I forgot to use it here and you can totally tell! I had embossing powder everywhere! The cushions were stamped separately onto Whisper White card stock and coloured with the new with Stampin’ Write Markers in the new In-Colours; Dapper Denim, Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy and Sweet Sugarplum. Then the cushions were fussy cut out, and given dimension using a ball tool. This is super simple; just place the pieces face down onto your Stampin’ Pierce Mat, and rub over the back with a ball tool – the longer you rub the more curve they get, leaving you with great cushion shapes. Pop these onto the card with dimensionals, simple.

To book onto my July Technique Class just drop me an email

Booking closes on the 28th June at 9pm. Class costs £36

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

2-step stamping birthday card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin' Up!

I love sending handmade Birthday cards, and I am sure that you make more birthday cards than any other kind. So I always enjoy coming up with fun and different birthday cards, because lets be honest here – that’s why we send home made, because its a little different from everyone elses!

2-step stamping birthday card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin' Up!

I made this card recently for James’ friends little girl, who turned 10 (I think) on Monday. She loves James, and is always upset when she finds that he’s been round while she has been at school. So, James always likes to make a special effort for her birthday (and so I always make card!).

This card uses the Sweet Cupcake Bundle (save 10%!). The Cupcake base is stamped in Sahara Sand, Tip Top Taupe and Chocolate Chip, while the Icing is Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum with a hint of Gold Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle.

Sweet Cupcake Birthday Card Stampin' Up! Uk

This stamp set is totally designed for 2-step stamping. There are 3 stamps for the cupcake, and another 3 for the icing, and then the are 2 to make the candle too! PLUS the awesome coordinating die set to cut the whole lot out (with some extra’s too!) I LOVE it!

Birthday Card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin' Up!

James always requests that I stamp the inside of the card too (something I often forget!) and he loved the extra cupcake inside! So cute!
