All is Calm for the Festival of Trees (week)

Welcome to day 2 of our Festival of Trees week.

Today, I thought we’d have a non-traditional colour scheme – Blue, green and grey (Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, and Smokey Slate)

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees All is Calm

 

This DSP, All is Calm, is diffinately I massive hit from this years Autumn Winter Catalogue, its a lovely blend of muted colours and that gorgeous Lost Lagoon (LOVE IT!!!)

This card uses a Pear Pizzazz card base, with Whisper White piece and that lovely DSP. The Tree is stamped in Pear Pizzazz with Lost Lagoon dots, and jewel highlights. That lovely ribbon is also from the Autumn Winter Catalogue, and can be found on page 22 (with that DSP!)

hope you like this cute card

See you again tomorrow for more Trees!

Fancy Fold Friday – Zig Zag Fold

Hello! Welcome to the second in my series of ‘fancy fold’ cards!

This week, I’ve made a Zig-Zag fold card, using Real Red and Flashback DSP.

I do love designer series paper – I love patterns, and colour, and really I’m just a stationary geek! (yes, I love staples and paperclips too!), but I really struggle to use DSP on cards! I love using it for scrapbooking, I use masses of 12×12 papers on layouts and in Project Life, but on cards, I get a little stuck!

Stampin' Up! UK Zig Zag fold card Flashback DSP

This card, although it looks complex, is really simple to create. The cardbase is cut at 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, then (and this is the only complicated bit!) you need to line one corner of the cardstock up with the top corner of your papertrimmer, then line the corner diagonally opposite to it up with the 4″ line on your trimmer – this will create the slopping angle to the top of the card. The card is then embellished with the Flashback DSP cut the same as the cardbase, before trimming 1/2″ from the bottom edge, and cut into 2 1/2″ strips.

FFF - zig zag 1

The card was then completed with three punched flowers, stamped using the Something to Say stamp set, and punched using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The sentiment is only available until the end of October, place an order (or host a party) of over £200, and earn this stamp set for FREE! its so super cute, and has some lovely sentiments for Christmas and Halloween crafting.

See you again next week

World Card Making Day 2014 – So Thankful for You!

Thank you continuing to read on, on this wonder World Card Making Day 2014!

This is my final card!

Stampin' Up! UK I Like You Elegant Butterfly

This simple card uses two punches (a bit like THIS card from earlier today!). First punch the Elegant Butterfly and then punch the Decorative Label around it!  I then added a stamped butterfly to the cardbase, and added the punched piece around it.

The sentiment is simply stamped from the I Like You hostess set underneath.

 

To receive one of the 12 cards I have made today, simply place an order HERE in the month of October

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 – Rosey Papillon

Started Kit! message me HERE for more information about joining Stampin’ Up!

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 – Thankful of Papillon!

Almost halfway through our 12 cards for World Card Making Day 2014 – this is card number 6!

thankful for papillon

This card uses a number of the stamps from Papillon Potpourri – a lovely collection of butterfly stamps – which coordinate beautifully with the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches.

This card uses Rose red, Garden Green, and Wisteria Wonder, to stamp a flock (maybe?!) of butterflies. and then the Large flying butterfly has been punched with that Elegant Butterfly punch!

lovely!

World Card Making Day 2014 – Blackberry Lace

This is the 5th card I’ve made for World Card Making Day 2014!

Stampin' Up! UK Blackberry Bliss Lovely Lace

 

Once again I’ve used the Lovely Lace embossing folder – this time on Vellum (man, I LOVE vellum! think its probably to do with making a whole heap of Wedding Invitations with it!)

This card is on Blackberry Bliss cardstock, and I’ve used Blackberry Bliss to stamp the sentiment from the I Like You Hostess Stamp Set! The butterfly is the Elegant Butterfly punch, this time with some Pearls added
