World Card Making Day 2014 – Lovely Letterpress

Stampin' Up! UK Letterpress Lovely Lace

This card was such a mess to make! LetterPress is one of the ‘hot topics’ in the crafty world at the moment! I had to have a go!

I grabbed my Lovely Lace embossing folder, and Melon Mambo ink. To get this look, where the ink is on the ‘flat’ part of the design, with the white embossing sticking up through it, you need to add ink directly to the embossing folder. I add my ink to the side with the Sizzix / Stampin’ Up! logos on. Be carefully not to get ink down into the design of the folder, or you will end up with ink on the embossed elements – which we want to stay white. Then, lay the cardstock in the embossing folder, closing the folder carefully so not to move the card and smudge the ink. The run this embossing folder / ink / cardstock sandwich through your Big Shot.

The next trick is to remove the cardstock from the folder without smudging the ink! I would suggest that you leave this to dry for a little while, the card will be very wet! and clean the embossing folder quickly – I made this card a couple of days ago (yes, I’m naughty, this is the power of the blog – I’m actually at work right now!), and I still have bright pink inky fingers!

But the result is so pretty!

I finished this card with a simple sentiment from I Like You!

World Card Making Day 2014 – Crushed Flowers

Stampin' Up! UK Crushed Curry I Like You

This gorgeous card is Crushed Curry with a Very Vanilla panel, the floral images are stamped from the lovely I Like You Stamp set. The focus of this card though is that lovely ribbon across the middle!

Here I’ve used the White 5/8″ Organza Ribbon. White, white! yes, White! but I’ve changed the colour with the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker. I love this, particularlly with with the Crushed Curry marker, as the ribbon takes on this gorgeous deep gold tone. It is so lovely! This card is finished by popping that Very Vanilla panel up on dimensionals to attach it to the Crushed Curry cardbase.

World Card Making Day 2014 – Oooops!

Ok, so this is the 8th card for World Card Making Day 2014! and this one should have been so beautiful! but I made such a mess 🙁 and I though I would share it anway – we can all be perfect all the time can we?! I so wish I was Mary Poppins! Well, that was a tangent!

So, the card……

Stampin' Up! UK I Like You Vellum

This card was going to be this lovely crisp white floral on vellum, with gold stamped sentiments – which it was, but I’m so impatient! and Stampin’ Up! White Craft Ink takes an age to dry! Like really, stamp and leave it to dry overnight! I so wish I had (yes, I could have re-made the card, but then I’d be lying to you, and that would be bad, so here you go, learn my lessons!)

And so it was taking ages to dry to I blasted it with the Heat Gun, which warped the vellum, and then I thought it was dry! So I stuck it onto my Real Red card base – Up.Side.Down! #FAIL!

So, then I cut the Real Red piece down to the size of the vellum, and of course, the ink wasnt dry quite! Craft ink goes sticky before it dries, so it stuck to my trimmer, and the gold smudged!

It was so pretty, and now its a little bit of a mess! But I still love it!

 

If you order through me this month you are in with the chance of receiving one of the 12 cards I made for World Card Making Day 2014 (and I will remake this one so it is actually pretty!)

World Card Making Day 2014 – So Thankful for So Saffron

This is the 7th card for World Card Making Day 2014 – are you sick of me yet?!

Stampin' Up! UK Papillion Potpourri I like you

This super cute card uses the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set, and the Elegant Butterfly punch.

I love the colour combination: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron – which doesnt show up so wonderfully in photographs as DD and SS are such similar colours 🙁

World Card Making Day 2014 – Punched Papillon

Welcome to the 4th card I’ve made for World Card Making Day 2014!

Stampin' Up! UK Papillon Potpourri Label punch

I recent got the Elegant Butterfly punch (Yes, once again I’m late to the party!). One of the first things I do when I get new product is check out what other people have done with it, generally on Pinterest! This card is inspired by THIS one by Julie Davison.

I used the Elegant Butterfly Punch, and the Decorative Label out of Whisper White cardstock, and layered the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack behind. The card base is So Saffron, and the DSP is in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party!

I love this card, its super cute! as as per usual my photos dont do it justice! more practice needed I’m sure!

 

Love the DSP! check out our latest Stampin’ Up! Joining offer – get a Pack of Paper every month of 6 months!

World Card Making Day 2014 – Island Lace

Time for card number 2! Now, I dont really know what happened when I photographed this card, because in real life its Island Indigo cardstock, which is a beautiful deep teal colour!
Stampin' Up! UK Island Indigo Lovely Lace

This is another really simple card, using the gorgeous Lovely Lace embossing folder. I love this easy technique, embossing the first of your card base. Fold your card as usual, then insert the front into the embossing folder, so the front is inside and the back is outside the folder. Then run it through you Big Shot machine. I’ve then highlighted each lace doily with a pearl in the centre, and the sentiment on a banner!

I do love a simple card!
