Make It Monday | Good Tidings Catalogue Cards

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

I have some very special cards to share with you today. I made a heap of these to send out with my Autumn Winter Catalogues (if you haven’t seen the new catalogue, you can find a link in the side bar…). I love this stamp set…. and I am sure I will be sharing heaps more projects with this one really soon!

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

I loved making these…. I grabbed my stamps and inks a couple of weeks ago and stamped a bunch of these on my knee whilst watching a movie with James. The Good Tidings stamp set features one of my absolute favourite stamping techniques… 2 Step stamping, to make this stunning holly. The stamps line up so easily, and actually even if the stamps are not lined up exactly it doesn’t matter, its still pretty!

The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and Garden Green, while the berries are Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I die cut the square of Whisper White first, along with the scalloped square of Cherry Cobbler using the Layering Square Framelits.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and is taken from Cheers to the Year.

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!I also LOVE the Designer Series Paper featured on this card…. its called Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, its a little thinner than the usual Designer Series Paper but its so pretty.

Make It Monday | Magnetic Closure Notebooks

Make It Monday Notebook covers using Eastern Palace suite from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Welcome to Make It Monday! I am loving this weeks project, I made these a few weeks ago and they have sat, looking all pretty on my desk every since…. saying that I really want to send them to someone… but I’ll get to that later!

Make It Monday Notebook covers using Eastern Palace suite from Stampin' Up!

Notebooks are always a handy gift. These are marked for Team Member gifts…. I always send a little something to new team members to welcome them to the team, and a notebook is great…. I mean, your massive wish list needs somewhere to go, right?!

The purple notebook (sorry, Fresh Fig!) uses the Eastern Palace stamp set and coordinating Eastern Beauty Designer Series Paper. The trick to these notebook covers is the magnets… yes they have a magnetic snap closure. I am sure that these covers would be just as cute without the magnets, but I took delivery of a heap of magnets last week and just HAD to use them on a project! I get my magnets from Ebay…. just search for Neodymium Disc magnets, and I am sure you will find them!

Measurements:

These notebook covers are for Jotter sized notebooks, and are in metric measurements only.

Card stock: 21 x 18.5 cm

Score on the SHORT side at 7, 7.5, 14.5 and 15 cm

Designer Series Paper: 20.5 x 6.5 cm AND 20.5 x 3 cm

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Magnetic Notebook covers using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

August is a great time to think about joining the team. We are in the middle of pre-order month for the new Autumn Winter catalogue, which means that you could fill your Starter Kit with Christmas goodies and get your hands on some awesome stamp sets before anyone else! I did a whole video on why I think August is a great time to join on Saturday… I would LOVE you to check it out.

TGIF #120 | Lots of Love Thinking About You

Challenge Card using Lots of Love from Stampin' Up! Thinking of you card

Oh how I am loving doing challenges again! each week they have me totally inspired and ready to create… this week’s challenge comes courtesy of TGIF Challenges and it is the fabulous sketch.

I was totally inspired by this one, and just had to use the Whole Lot of Lovely Suite… I am loving this pack of Designer Series Paper at the moment… and might have something special coming using it really really soon!

Challenge Card using Lots of Love from Stampin' Up! Thinking of you card

I wanted this card to highlight the Designer Series Paper and so the rest of the card is pretty simple. The card base is Smoky Slate, and I added a hint of some tone on tone stamping with one of the stamps from Lots of Love. The other feature of this card us the ribbon… can we just stop and admire that super pretty Shimmery Basic Black Ribbon.

The sentiment is also taken from Lots of Love, although the original stamp has a wreath around the sentiment, I used a Basic Grey Stampin’ Write Marker to selectively ink the stamp to just give me the sentiment. It was then punched using the Classic Label Punch.

I cannot wait to see what everyone does with this sketch too!

I am loving the new This Little Piggy Stamp Set and just could not resit a spot of Masking with it…. before this series ends next week! But, do not despair… there will be more Techniques Videos! I promise

Video Tutorial How to Create a fun Z fold card using This Little Piggy from Stampin' Up!

How fun is that Pig! Just so cute… and so easy to Mask too.

Miss Piggy is stamped in Basic Grey Archival ink… and then the stamp, stamped off onto a piece of Sticky Note (those ones where the sticky is all over work best!). This is then cut out… yes, it’s fussy cutting… no, I’m not sorry… she’s just so cute! You then cover the stamped image with the sticky note mask… and add ink!

[arve url=”https://youtu.be/ax1fpWGd_00″]

This alternative Z fold card is also quick and easy to do…

Measurements:

Card stock – 21 x 14.8 cm (scored on the long side at 3 and 10.5 cm) (8 1/4 x 5 7/8″, scored on the long side at 1 and 4 1/8″)

I Like You Oh So Eclectic

Fun floral card using the Oh So Eclectic Bundle from Stampin' Up! UK

As I am sure you know, I love a detailed card… whilst keeping things clean and simple (give me more white space! lol). This card fits that detailed, clean and simple bracket quite well I think!

Fun floral card using the Oh So Eclectic Bundle from Stampin' Up! UK

This bundle is one of my favourites from the latest Stampin’ Up! catalogue (yes, they are all my favourite…. I love them all!). It includes a fun stamp set featuring some really cool stylised floral images, and a die set that cuts and embosses! Here I have stamped the detailed floral stamp across a piece of Whisper White in Night of Navy, and the leaves and that watercolour effect flower in Old Olive and Berry Burst

Fun floral card using the Oh So Eclectic Bundle from Stampin' Up! UK

The background uses the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder, embossed into Old Olive card stock. These 3D embossing folders give a really detailed emboss, but need a slight alteration to your usual ’embossing sandwich’ as you only need ONE of your cutting plates. So, using the Stampin’ Up! Big Shot you will need the Big Shot Platform, the embossing folder and card stock, and then just one of your cutting pads. To get a clean emboss you can spritz your card stock with water first, but I have to say I don’t need to for this embossing folder!

The card is finished with a piece of the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper and a bow of Night of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon

Delightful Daisy Birthday Card

Happy Birthday Card using Delightlful Daisy and Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up!

I have been feeling really rubbish recently, and have spend a LOT of time scrolling through Pinterest and Instagram in an attempt to stay crafty…. and in the process came across THIS card from Teneale Williams

Happy Birthday Card using Delightlful Daisy and Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up!

This stylish card uses the pretty Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Happy Birthday Thinlit die. The card base is Sahara Sand, and I layered the Daisy Paper onto a piece of Whisper White Card stock to add some stability to it as it is popped up on Dimensionals. The Happy Birthday is die cut 3 times, twice in Daffodil Delight and once in Whisper White, all layered together for some more dimension! I loved Teneale’s uses of Vellum, it just adds a special soft something to this card. And the whole thing is finished with a linen thread bow!
