World Card Making Day 2014

Happy World Card-making Day 2014!!!!!!

I’m super excited to share 12 projects with you today!

The 12 cards are made from a kit of products put together especially for this event! As Stampin’ Up! are currently running an amazing Joining Deal – Pick a Pack of Paper – where you earn a pack of DSP each month for the 6 months after you join. I thought I would select £130 worth of product that you could choose as part of your Starter Kit. I have made 12 cards, each one different, and I have loads of cardstock left over, plus inks, adhesives, and DSP. For more information on Pick a Pack of Paper, and joining my team, Contact me HERE!

So the first of my cards is a super simple one layer card, using just half a sheet of A4, White Craft Ink, and a stamp! Stampin' Up! UK Night of Navy I Like You Craft WhiteNow, I will admit that I made a little mistake when selecting my stamps – the stamp set I’ve used for the sentiments and flowers is a Hostess set. You are unable to put this stamp ‘I Like You’ into your Starter Kit, BUT you can get this set with your Hostess credits if you spend more than £150 in my Stampin’ Up! Store!

Fancy Fold Friday – Easel Card

HELLO!

Welcome to fancy fold friday!

Once again, trying something new here! I have a few of these posts lined up over the next few weeks, looking at card folds that make your cards stand out from the other cards on the mantel piece. I thought we’d start simple – a easel card

Stampin' Up UK Wisteria Wonder Bouquet Toss Thank You card

Easel cards are super simple to create. This card base (in Wisteria Wonder) is cut to 8 1/4 by 5 1/2 (about half an A4). The card is scored at 2 1/4 and 4 1/8th, creating a triangle of cardstock. Another piece of cardstock (this time in Very Vanilla) is attached to one of the short sides of the triangle to create a taller card. The stamp set used here is Bouquet Toss – a set that, although designed for weddings (and that ties into the Always and Forever wedding stationary templates in MDS), is a lovely feminine stamp set for Thank You cards, Birthdays, and Congratulations cards. The small flowers (although fussy cut here) work wonderfully with the 1/2″ circle punch, to create ‘pegs’ to hold the card up when displayed.

I’m really loving simple colour combinations at the moment, and have found myself making a lot of cards with only two or maybe three colours!

Can’t wait to see you again next week!

Back to Basics Zoo Babies

 

Seeing as we are now right at the end of September, it time to say goodbye to our Product of the Month (yes, their will be another in October!) but before we do, I thought I would grab it again for one final project!

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies Back to Basics AlphabetHow cute is this card! I used that Back to Basics Alphabet to create a background – almost like a word search, for the front of the card.

The card base is in Marina Mist (LOVE! – it only arrived on friday, I think its a new favourite!), with the word search layer in Soft sky, and inked in Soft Sky ink. Then I’ve used; Calypso Coral, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron to stamp the Zoo Babies animals, and the sentiment.

super cute, and a great way to end our Product of the Month for September. Back to Basics is still available through to June of 2015 (at least, let hope its even longer! I love the font.), grab it now by clicking the links through to my webshop

Check back soon for the reveal of our Product of the Month for October!

Personalised Wedding Cards!

Back in wedding mode again today! These are some cards I made for a friend, as thank you cards for the special ladies involved in her wedding – flower girls, bridesmaids, and the mothers!

I was so exicted when I took the order for these! Her colour scheme was white, pale pink and grey, so I took that and ran with it!

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

I used Whisper White, Smokey Slate and Pink Pirouette, along with Everything Eleanor (isnt it the most gorgeous set for weddings!) and the Back to Basic Alphabet to personalise the cards. The flowers are a mix of Petite Petals and Itty Bitty Accents, and they are finished off with the coordinating stamp and some Pearl Basic Jewels

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

These bridesmaids cards use Smokey Slate as the card base, and the same stamp sets as before. Each card has the bridesmaids name on, handstamped using that Back to Basics Alphabet

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Everything Eleanor

The last set of cards are the ones I made for the Flower girls. Once again they use Everything Eleanor and Back to Basics, but this time I decided to make them a little more fun, and used the bird stamp to add an extra litte something.

Each of the cards was also stamped with a coordinating stamp inside, and also on the envelope.

I love making cards with purpose like these. Having just finished my own wedding invitations though, I might have to have a little break from weddings…….. ok thats enough of a break! I do love a good wedding, dont you?

Mr and Mrs Congratulations Card

So, I’m still focused on weddings at the moment. I’m still planning my own, making invitations, place settings, orders of service, the list goes on and on! But I’ve also been a wedding guest a bit recently too, so here is yet another Congratulations card, Wedding style!

Stampin' Up! UK Wedding Congratulations Lovely Lace

This time I used a piece of Basic Grey as the card base, with a piece of Very Vanilla embossed with that Lovely Lace embossing folder (Love!). The wedding colour theme was grey and dusky pink, so I decided to step it up a little, and use a dark grey and brighter pink. The stamping and flower punches are in Rose Red. Once again I used that Something to Say set for the congratulations (just like this card) and for the little bit of floral stamping on the circle behind congratulations. That lovely Mr. and Mrs. stamp is unfortuneately retired now (and I’m sorry for showing you it, but the rest of the card is just so pretty!). I finished the card by punching three flowers using the flower punch from Itty Bitty Accents, and adding Pearl Basics Jewels 🙂

More Wedding cards to come next week! this time I’ve even managed to use this months Product of the Month!!!!!

Lets get Merry for …… Super Simple Sunday!

Its that time again! time for a super simple card on a super simple sunday! Yay!

Stampin' Up! UK Seasonally Scattered Merry

I love this card! and its so super simple (hence the super simple sunday! duh!)

I cut a piece of A4 Old Olive cardstock in half across its lenght, and folded it to create our card base. Then layered a piece of Whisper White, cut to slightly smaller than that Old Olive card front. Seasonally Scattered is a lovely stamp set, it contained 3 stamps; Merry, Thanks, and Love, all in this style. I know you’re going to see lots of project ideas using this stamp set from me!

The Merry stamp is stamped in Real Red onto that Whisper White.

I finished the card by colouring 5 Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the darkest Old Olive Blendability, to make them green, and added them t randomly to the card

How simple!

Celebrate….. a bit of lovely lace!

Well, hello there!

I’ve got a few posts over the next week or so about a similar topic – weddings!

This card I made as a Congratulations card for a friends wedding, I love it, its cute, and simple, and pink!

Stampin' Up! UK Lovely Lace Big Shot

I used the Lovely Lace embossing folder (its so pretty!), to emboss some Pink Pirouette cardstock. The Congratulations is from Something to Say (have I mentioned my love of that Stamp Set much! its just so versitile). Then I finished the card with some White Organza Ribbon (I managed to tie a bow!!!!!) and some Basic Jewel Pearls!

I think this card would make a lovely Wedding or new baby girl card, but that Lovely Lace Embossing folder – just watch this space!!

Whats your favourite sentiment based stamp set at the moment? let me know in the comments below…

CASE Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue 2014

I’ve discussed the meaning of CASE before – Copy and Share Everything, really its what we do all the time; see something and take it as inspiration for our own project whether that be something really similar to someone elses or quite different.

Today I’ve used a card from the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue for my inspiration. I’ve stuck to it quite closely really, but a few details are changed. I used this as my Make and Take project for my Stampin’ Party a few weeks ago, the ladies had a great time making this card and I’m sure you will too! The links to the products used are at the end of this post, and a link to my shop is on the right hand side of this page.

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees

So you can find this card (and the supplies neccessary to create it) on page 25 of the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Autumn Winter Catalogue for 2014. The original uses some of the gorgeous Cherry Cobble 1″ Sheer Linen Ribbon, but in the interests of keeping things simple, I swapped the ribbon for a piece of Real Red cardstock. The Tree is stamping in Old Olive (the same colour as the card base), and then the Real Red dots are stamped over the top. Stampin’ Up! make this technique really easy with their photopolymer stamps, allowing you to see through the stamp to line it up with the image underneath. The star is stamped in Daffodil Delight, and punched out with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack (oh, how much do I love those punches!)

 

 

We had great fun making these at my latest Stampin’ Party! If you live in Teesside, and what to make these, why not arrange a Stampin’ Party and we can make these together!

Bravo! for a super simple sunday!

Just a quick card for you today, using Melon Mambo (and not much else actually!)]

Stampin Up Melon Mambo Flower Shop Petie Petals

This card uses the Sweet Taffy DSP, in that gorgeous Melon Mambo – the brightest of bright pinks! to create this cute card. All the inking is done in Melon Mambo, using the Flower Shop and Petite Petals for the flowers, and A Dozen Thoughts for the sentiment! Its a super simple and quick card, great for a little girls birthday or when your a little short on time! The Flowers are stamped and then punched using the coordinating punches to create that professional look, and the sentiment is punched using the modern label punch. Easy!

Just a little DSP….

We all have scraps dont we?! the scraps of DSP were starting to take over in my craftroom, so while I was trying to tidy up…. a card was born!

Stampin Up UK Moonlight Designer Series Paper DSP

This card uses Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Moonlight DSP Stack. It features the new In Colours: Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, and Blackberry Bliss, with Sahara Sand and Whisper White. This card also a scrap of the Flashback DSP. Its a Very Vanilla card base, and I’ve stamped the sentiment from Something to Say in Memento Tuxedo Black.

This card is pretty simple really, I love using scraps of DSP like this, making little banners or strips on a card, with a cute sentiment.

To finish I used the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! Corner Rounder to round the two outside corners, and that the card done!
