Is There no Limit to you Awesomeness?

Hello! Happy Monday!

Sorry for the late post this morning, as you may know I work as a Nurse, and yesterday I was called into work at very very short notice. I usually work ahead of myself but this last few weeks have been crazy, and I ran out of posts!

Its OK; normal service will resume tomorrow!

So, today I thought I would share the card I made for my very first downline and member of my Stampin’ Team! Kathryn, when she joined me back in January

Stampin' Up! UK Big News Sale-a-bration join me

I recently earned some free stamp sets (one of the many many perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator) and I choose Big News, a great sentiment stamp set featuring Thank you’s and Birthdays, but also this great stamp – Is there no limit to your awesomeness? – well, if you’ve joined Stampin’ Up! then no, there isn’t! I heat embossed the sentiment in gold – so pretty.

The flowers are from Petal Potpourri, a great stamp set from the new Spring/Summer catalogue, which comes bundled with the Flower Medallion Punch. The background stamps are in Crumb Cake, stamped off once, and then the main image is stamped in Pool Party, and coloured with Blendabilities! Do you know you can use your Blendabilities with your Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink! Isn’t it awesome!

Do you know what else is awesome! that you can get Blendabilities for FREE at the moment if you choose them as your Sale-a-bration item for spending £45! Here I have used Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana to colour the flower – and I didn’t pay for either set!

You’re a Whole Lot of Wonderful!

I’m taking a little break from Christmas cards today, to bring you a card using the amazing Stampin’ Blendabilities!

I just love the Stampin’ Blendabilities; colouring in is just so therapeutic (I think its something about being in touch with my inner-child!)

Stampin' Up! Vivid Vases Wonderful Blendabilities

The Vivid Vases stamp is just perfect for your Blendability colouring. It has large open areas, perfect for blending and shading with markers (or any other medium you may choose).

I just love this stamp, its just so simple, but makes a great card front – no fussy required! and the sentiment is part of the stamp

This card is a Rich Razzleberry Card base, with a mat of Pear Pizzazz Subtles Collection Designer Series paper.

The Vivid Vases is stamped on Whisper White cardstock (for great blending when colouring with your Blendabilities!). I kept the colouring really simple here; the Rich Razzleberry assortment, Old Olive and Coastal Cabana. I haven’t even worked hard to get the perfect blend, and still the card looks amazing!

There are a number of great things about the Stampin’ Blendabilities; they are square so they dont roll off your desk, the caps are coloured for easy marker identification, your markers have both brush and felt tips for easy colouring, and they come in packs of three coordinating colours for super easy blending! There are loads more benefits to these alcohol markers, why not grab a set and try them out!

All Around the World Stampin’ Challenge – AW 28 entry

I’m really trying to push myself at the moment, no only in my creativity, but also my business, my fitness (and so weight loss) and my job! I have a LOT going on! and I LOVE it!

But, sometimes a get stuck in a rut with cardmaking. This is when I turn to Pinterest, or YouTube, or a Challenge for inspiration.

This week, I took another look at the All Around the World Stampin’ Challenge Blog, a group of Stampin’ Up! demos from around the world, who complete 2 challenges a month, and have some amazing ideas. I am going to try and complete some of these challenges (not promising I’m going to take part every fortnight, but I will try!)

Stampin' Up! UK AW28 Festival of Trees Baked Brown Sugar Cherry Cobbler Mossy Meadow

The challenge this time was to use Baked Brown Sugar, Cherry Cobbler, and Mossy Meadow. This is why these challenges push me so much; I don’t own all the Stampin’ Up! Ink pads, I don’t have cardstock in every colour, and I definitely don’t have all the stamps! But, I do own the Many Marvellous Markers (and luckily for this challenge, the In-Colour 2013-2015 Stampin’ Write Markers).

So, I grabbed my Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler cardstock, along with a piece of Whisper White, my favourite stamp set from the seasonal catalogue, and my pens, and got to creating.

I used Mossy Meadow as my cardbase, with a layer of Cherry Cobbler (complete with pierced boarder!) and a layer of Whisper White. I stamped the Tree from Festival of Trees in Mossy Meadow (stamped off first) and added the tinsel in Versamark and Gold embossing powder.The tree pot I stamped in Cherry Cobbler (using my pens) and the star is Baked Brown Sugar and punched out using one of the Itty Bitty Accents punches.

I added the scribble backdrop of Baked Brown Sugar before popping the tree up with some dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow, and the Basic Jewel Rhinestones coloured with Old Olive Blendabilities (have I told you how much I love those?! check out my latest Club for more!)

And that is my Challenge entry!

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!
