Floral Congratulations

Rose Red Congratulations Card using Floral Phrases from Stampin' Up!

I have been making quite a few Congratulations card recently, friends getting married or moving house, I was a little disappointed when I noticed that I don’t have a New Home type stamp in my collection, but I felt that Congratulations worked well enough for a couple of friends who recently moved into their first House.

Rose Red Congratulations Card using Floral Phrases from Stampin' Up!

I’m just loving the floral image in the Floral Phrases stamp set, I have seen it coloured in with Stampin’ Write markers, but I love using it simply in a single colour. Here it has been stamped twice in Rose Red. The stamp does all the work for you here, no need to do anything other than stamp to get this fabulous multi-tone image. So pretty

Congratulations card using Floral Phrases from Stampin' Up!The sentiment is stamped, again in Rose Red, on a strip of Very Vanilla card stock and layered with Rose Red Card stock. I had to add a few loops of Gold Metallic Thread to this one, I just couldn’t help myself! before adding the senitment with a piece of Adhesive Foam Strip.

Island Indigo Fresh Fruit Card Set

Fresh Fruit Card Collection using Stampin' Up! Uk products

I made these 3 cards last month, but somehow I missed posting them! Shocking I know! but you still get to see them in the end, so it doesn’t really matter does it!

Fresh Fruit Card Collection using Stampin' Up! Uk productsI really wanted to make a card using Fresh Fruit that wasn’t fruity … and somehow ended up with a three card set!

Thank you card using Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up! UK

Each card has an Island Indigo card base, and a mat of Very Vanilla, but I couldn’t decide which other colour to use, or then how I wanted to apply the sentiment either! So, this first card uses Flirty Flamingo, with the sentiment on a banner
Birthday card using Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up! UKHave you worked out which bit of the Fresh Fruit stamp set I have used yet? Yes, it’s the circles, they are supposed to be the outline of the peach! I just love the look of the outline images in this stamp set, I think they work really well on their own as well as together with their solid partners.

The second card is in Melon Mambo. I decided that I wasn’t keen on the banner on the first card, and would rather use a strip for the sentiment, but then couldn’t decide if I wanted it to go all the way across the card, or just across the Very Vanilla piece

Island Indigo Fresh Fruit Card Collection using Stampin' Up! UK productsSo I tried both! I still don’t think I could pick a favourite either, this last card uses Watermelon Wonder with the Island Indigo.

Which one is your Favourite?

Thoughtful Branches | Pretty in Pink

Thank You Card using Thoughtful Branches from Stampin' Up! Uk

Are you LOVING the Thoughtful Branches bundle yet? You are – go and grab it before it sells out!

The card I am sharing today is the very first card I made with it. Some of my Stampin’ Sisters weren’t sure about it (I can’t work out why not!) but wanted to see some creations using the bundle before they took the plunge and grabbed it for themselves, I don’t blame them its always nice to see what you can make with something before you make a purchase (after all, that is what I am here for!). So, I made a few cards and shared them in our Facebook group a few weeks ago.

I was trying to work out some alternative uses for the leaves die, and I thought using it to make a sort of doily was a great idea!

Thank You Card using Thoughtful Branches from Stampin' Up! Uk

The soft colours on this one were really tricky to photograph. The colours are Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz and Tip Top Taupe. But can you see the doily poking out of the side of the stamped layer? yes, its the leaves die cut, I did add some Pink Pirouette ink with a sponge to add some definition.

What is your favourite stamp or die from the bundle?

Have you seen this months Stamp of the Month Club? This month grab your copy of the Thoughtful Branches Bundle via my online store, and I will send you a 3 exclusive video tutorials and a card kit to make 6 cards! Yay!

Stamping on Designer Series Paper!

Quick and Simple Thank You card using thoughtful thanks from Stampin' Up! UK

I am always looking for ways to get more use from the products I buy, ways you can stretch your stash, ways to get creative without buying heaps of stuff! I love crafting (and shopping), and I am lucky enough to have half a room dedicated to my hobby (and business) but its very small and I am quickly running out of room! So, time to get creative with what I own rather than buying more (even though I would love to shop!)

Quick and Simple Thank You card using thoughtful thanks from Stampin' Up! UK

Last month I had the Fruit Stand pack of Designer Series paper out on my desk almost all month, and this piece of paper really called to me to be used simply on a card! trimmed slightly smaller than my card front and simply stamped with the sentiment from Thankful Thoughts I almost called this one done…

Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper Card from Stampin' Up! UK

but it just needed an extra something, and some splatter of Flirty Flamingo and Gold Wink of Stella finished this one off! I love this card so much that my customers will be finding a variation of this in the post over the next week or so!

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I’ll see you again tomorrow for something that’s not a card!

A Special Note of Thanks To You!

Rose Wonder thank you card using Floral Phrases from Stampin' Up! UK

This is a special card today, I am totally inspired each and every month by the fabulous creations of the Artisan Design Team – these lovely ladies are specially picked by Stampin’ Up! and create wonderful projects each and every month. I am always so inspired by them all and just felt like sharing my homage to the ADT for this year.

A special thank you card featuring floral phrases and Rose Wonder from Stampin' Up! UK

Part of the creative process is always about change and development, and I am sure that we all look back on the first cards we created with utter horror, I absolutely do! I have spent many hours, days, weeks and months developing my style, and I am hoping that it continues to develop and change. I just love the process of creating something, don’t you, even if I am not always all that sure about the outcome – I still post the cards I’m not sure about, and they are usally the cards that you guys like, comment and pin most! isn’t it strange!

Anyway, I am in a rambly mood today, who know’s what tangent I will go off on for your blog post on Thursday!

Floral Phrases Rose Wonder from Stampin' Up! ukThis card has a card base of Sahara Sand, with a layer of Flirty Flamingo and then Whisper White. There are a few stamp sets in play here, there are some splatter in the background in Flirty Flamingo using Gorgeous Grunge, while the sentiment is taken from Floral Phrases.

The leave die cut is in  Pear Pizzazz and is from the Rose Garden thinlits set.

What do you think of this creation? I would love to know your thoughts, leave a comment down below and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog and weekly emails using the buttons on the right! (or at the bottom if you are reading this on a mobile device!)

A Fruity Thank you….

Simple Thank You card featuring Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up! UK

Hey folks, sorry for the lack of a Make It Monday this week, but the last few weeks have been totally crazy here! For a bit of back story, I’m a nurse, but I have recently changed jobs (for the 4th time in 7 months) and am now in a management role (which I am absolutely LOVING!) but I’m working some crazy long shifts over the summer and its not leaving me a whole heap of time for you guys – so August might be a quiet affair around here; however, I’m not going anywhere, my shop is open 24/7 as always and I am always here to answer any questions you may have, just understand it might take me a couple of hours to get back to you. Right, thats enough of that, lets get on with a card shall we?!

Fresh Fruit Thank you card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card is super simple to put together, even though it looks complex. The card base is in Peekaboo Peach, and is stamped in Peekaboo Peach on the corners. I’m loving this Designer Series Paper too, very fresh and summery, those apples are so cute!

Simple Thank You card featuring Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up! UK

I’ve been playing with masking again on this card, I stamped the Thank You first, and then stamped the fruits over the top in Watermelon Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, and Peekaboo Peach with Smoky Slate outlines and dots.

My Online Card Class using this stamp set closes at 9PM tonight! I am so excited about getting this one out to you lovely people, my plan is to get it out to you over the weekend, so hopefully by this time next week you’ll be making fabulous cards like this one!
