Make It Monday | One Sheet Wonder

Wow, this Make It Monday looks like it took ages, but really its super quick!

I needed to whip up a bunch of Customer thank you cards in a hurry over the weekend and this was the perfect way to get a stack of cards made in a flash, seriously all 14 cards made in less than 30 minutes! These Thank you cards use Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper and Endless Thanks.

Now, rather than listing all the measurements here, I have created a great PDF Download for you this week, it includes the cutting guide to getting all these pieces from 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper!

Now, I have also made 14 Christmas cards using Christmas Pines and Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper.

Question of the Day: What is your favourite pack of Designer Series Paper at the moment?

Christmas Countdown | Perpetual Advent Calendar

Yay! Christmas Countdown, that must mean that it is FRIDAY! Thank goodness, I am tired this week…. in serious need of the weekend.

Now, the video has two sets of measurements this week…. basically because I was more than a bit tired when I filmed this on Wednesday. The true measurements are underneath the video 🙂

Measurements:

Card stock: Emerald Envy – 25 x 18 cm (10 x 7 1/8″)

Score on the long side at 6, 12, 18 and 24 cm (2 3/8, 4 3/4, 7 1/8, and 9 1/2″)

Score on the short side at 6 and 12 cm (2 3/8 and 4 3/4″)

You will also need 12 pieces of Designer Series Paper that measure 5.5 x 5.5 cm (2 1/8″ x 2 1/8″)

My plan is for a base for this project next Friday, hopefully….

Make It Monday | Customer Thank You Gifts!

Make It Monday featuring Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK for Summer Customer Thank You Gifts

Hello! Welcome to Make It Monday, the day of the week I release an awesome new video tutorial for you lovely people! Yay!

I am so excited about today’s post, mainly because I’m hoping that the first batch of these have arrived with the lovely people that shopped with me last month, but also it’s my 1st wedding anniversary today! I’m off to Newcastle for the day with my lovely husband who surprised me a few weeks ago by getting tickets for Chicago the Musical for tonight! 😀

Right, so what have I got for you today? Customer Thank You gifts!

These super cute envelopes each contain a wrapped tea bag! I took delivery of these teabags a few weeks ago, and the smell that filled my office when I opened the box was delightful, so I’m really hoping that you enjoy them as much I as I did!

So far I have two different styles of these, but I can see me making a whole heap of these over the coming weeks and months, using different Designer Series Papers, stamps and colours of card stock! The one with the pears uses the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper while the other is the Affectionately Yours Speciality DSP.

They are so easy to make with the Envelope Punch Board. I really don’t use this fabulous tool as much as I should! super handy for those awkward sized cards where a standard envelope just wont do.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 – I’m sticking with Imperial Measurements for this one, its just easier on the EBP!

Make your first punch and score at 2 5/8″ and then follow the instructions on the board, super simple!

Card stock – 1″ x 7″ for the belly band, plus a few scraps for the punching.

Garden In Bloom | CASE

So, I’m continuing my week of CASing the catalogue, and today I’m sharing a card using Garden in Bloom. I just love this stamp set, and while not new it is still one of my favourites. Its a great stamp set for a heap of techniques; its intended as a 2-step stamping set, but I love using it with watercolour, and heat embossing too!

This card really caught my eye in the catalogue, the more I looked the more details I spotted – Love that!

So, first off there is the stamping; Garden In Bloom stamped in Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Sweet Sugarplum. Then a layer of Vellum, cut slightly smaller than the stamped layer, is added. I love adding Vellum to my cards but adhering it is always tricky. Here the Vellum is attached with a heap of Fast Fuse Adhesive underneath the embellishment, and I also added 3 very small blobs of Fine Tipped glue on white bits of the stamped area – and you can’t see it because it dries totally clear! Yay!

The embellishment is a combination of a strip of Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon, and loops of Cooper Metallic Thread. All layered underneath the sentiment, along with a bow of Whisper White bakers twine.

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!
This 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!

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

The 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.
