3D Friday | Squishy Giftbag

I am loving 3D Friday, I hope you are too! I shared this giftbag project a while ago (it was for a Global Design Project Challenge!) but I realised last week that I never got round to filming the tutorial… so here it is!

This paper of Designer Series Paper has totally grown on me through the course of this years Annual Catalogue, I wasn’t sure fruit themed paper was really my thing, but I have found that I have used it a lot over the past 10 months! This particular pattern is my favourite, and so I have struggled to use it! But the next Annual Catalogue launch is quickly approaching and so I have started my mission to use up my left over Designer Series Paper!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24 and 29 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

Flirty Flamingo mat – 2 x 2 3/4″ (5 x 7 cm)

Whisper White layer – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ (4.5 x 6.5 cm)

This Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Fresh Fruit Stamp Set, which is where the stamped images are taken from.

Thanks so much for checking out the blog today. Don’t forget to stop over at my Facebook Page to see what I have been getting up to in Amsterdam this week!

Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE product!

I have LOVED Sale-a-bration this year, and am so sad that it is over! However, I am off to Amsterdam next week for Stampin’ Up!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | A Day to Celebrate….

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Scrapbook page details using Stampin' Up! products

Welcome back to the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! I am so excited to be joining in with the lovely ladies of this group again this month. I actually made my project 3 weeks ago, when Sally released the sketch into our Private Facebook group, but I only managed to get it photographed and this post written last night.

Like I said, the lovely Sally Shaw from SallyStampers set our sketch this month, and I thought it was perfect for a scrapbook page…. so that it what I made!

Each one of the circles are stamped with one of the small stamps from So In Love, in the coordinating colour so the Pink Pirouette circle was stamped with Pink Pirouette ink, the Blushing Bride circle was stamped with Blushing Bride ink, and the Marina Mist circle was stamped with Marina Mist ink.

I am still (very slowly) working my way through my wedding album, and most of the pages are fairly simple, after all I want people to be looking at the photographs!

This page was finished with a trio of banners using Designer Series Paper in the same colours, and then a touch of ink spatter diagonally across the page.

Right, I better go….It’s James’ birthday today and so once I have checked that this post is live I have a whole weekend of Birthday and Mother’s day celebrations. Hope you have a great weekend to

Make It Monday | Sale-a-bration special!

Hello! Well, I suppose I should apologise for the lack of blog posts at the end of last week (and also a lack of a Make It Monday video this week!), I mentioned last week that I had to travel about 300 miles for a family funeral… well that went well, and I managed to get a bit of work done in the car on the way there and back, which was great seeing as the second I go home last Tuesday afternoon I was struck with a horrible cold. Now, I get colds quite regularly, but this saw me actually in bed for two days, I had to phone in sick to work, and if I’m not well enough to go to work, I am not well enough to film either! As I write this on Sunday afternoon, I find myself slowly recovering, but I still can’t film… well not if you want to understand what I am saying! So, I have the video that was meant to go up on Friday last week that I will schedule for this weeks 3D Friday and hopefully catch up with some more filming this coming week!

To make it up to you though I thought I would share 4 cards I made this morning with the Sale-a-bration Freebie Inside the Lines!

Ok, so this blog post is heading for the top of the ‘image heavy’ list! This first card was inspired by a sample I came across on Pinterest that had 3 panels of Designer Series Paper laid out like this. All 4 of the cards I have to share with you today use the fabulous Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper. I realised a few weeks ago when I posted another project using this paper into a Facebook sharing group, that I have used this paper a fair bit, but I tend to use it raw, no colouring, or colour added at all. So I though that really needed to change…. The paper here has a gentle layer of Flirty Flamingo added with a Sponge Brayer, and the card is finished with the sentiment from Beautiful You heat embossed onto a strip of Vellum and a trio of Enamel shapes (coloured with my black sharpie!)

This second card was actually the first card I made… or at least the first panel of paper I coloured. I pulled out my Watercolour Pencils for this one, I purposely kept things really soft… mainly because I also planned to colour a sample with my Stampin’ Write makers – which I did, it just hasn’t made it onto a card yet! The watercolour pencils are great! here I coloured the whole panel with Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie and Island Indigo, and then blended them with a blender pen to remove the pencil lines and blend the colours together.

This third card is actually one of the Make and Take projects from OnStage Local back in November! I am a naughty stamper at these things and find myself chatting more than making, but I try to make the projects when I get home. Anyway, I have changed the stamp set that the sample was designed to use, and grabbed for Floral Phrases for that Congratulations stamp. The single coloured panel here is coloured using Watercolour Pencils and a blender pen…. although I did almost leave it black and white!!

This final card is totally CASE’d from Rochelle Blok … and I couldn’t make a pile of cards with the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper without leaving one un-coloured!! There are actually 3 Sale-a-bration freebies on this card; Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, the sentiment is from Designer Tee, and the layer underneath the sentiment is a tiny piece of Bermuda Bay Glimmer Paper from the Glimmer Paper Assortment.

There are only 11 days of Sale-a-bration left!!! you can find out all about Sale-a-bration on my latest Sale-a-bration on Wednesday post which you can find HERE!

Right, that is all from me today, I have a busy couple of weeks with my day job before my holiday to Amsterdam with my Stampin’ Up! girls at the beginning of April (can you tell I’m super excited!), so I probably should stop typing now and get organised for the week!

See you again tomorrow!

3D Friday | Sweetie Packets with the Gift Bag Punch Board

3D Friday Sweetie Packets using the Gift Bag Punch Board and Me = Grateful from Stampin' Up! UK

On Monday I shared the card I sent as part of my February Thank You packs for my lovely customers, well today I though I would share the other thing that everyone received this month… a cute little packet containing a sweet treat, that is super simple to make using the Gift Bag Punch Board!

These are so easy to make! They take literally minutes, and a such a cute way to dress up a pack of sweeties. These ones also use the 2015-2017 In Colours, which are sadly retiring at the end of May (or more likely the beginning, seeing as they are likely to sell out pretty quickly!)

You can click on the names of the colours below to see everything that is available in each colour

The stamp is taken from Me = Grateful and I love that this stamp matched perfectly into the Decorative Label punch (that would be the awesomeness of Stampin’ Up!’s coordination again! LOVE IT!)

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 6″ (15 x 15 cm)

Using the Gift Bag Punch Board, line the edge of the paper up with the Start Line and punch, then score at the S line and the horizontal. More that score line and line it up with the Start, punch and score at S and horizontal again. Then move that score line to the Start line and punch again. Rotate your paper by 180 and punch at each of the 3 score lines and add the horizontal. Check the video for the assembly instructions

Avant Garden Congratulations Card

Pretty Floral Congratulations card using Avant Garden and Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

I send a lot of cards (it is my job after all!) but my absolute favourite type of card to send is Congratulations! I love sending these out to team members and my Stampin’ sisters, and I am trying to be better at sending them to friends and family too. I made this card for one of my lovely Stampin’ buddies who managed something totally amazing a few weeks ago…

One of the many many reasons I love Stampin’ Up! is coordination, the Designer Series Paper here is in the exact same colours as the stamping on the die cut circle, and as the ribbon, and the card base and the sentiment…. it all matches, there is no guess work, it just works! The Designer Series Paper is from Blooms and Bliss, and is in Mint Macaron, Island Indigo and Sahara Sand…. and I used it as my colour inspiration for the rest of the card.

Can you tell that there is a difference between the backing paper and that circle…. the circle is hand stamped using the Avant Garden stamp set in the same colour … see what I was saying about perfect coordination! Now, I know that there is not a Congratulations stamp in Avant Garden – I selected another Sale-a-bration freebie for this one, Designer Tee (more than just for T-shirts!). I am loving this fabulous stamp set that is FREE during Sale-a-bration, all you need to do to claim your copy is spend £45 in my Online Store before 31st March

Oh, and then I finished this one with the first square knot that I have ever tied successfully! So proud, I have no idea why on earth I struggled so much with it, maybe I’m not bow challenge but ribbon challenged instead!

3D Friday | Mini Egg Milk Carton with Base Closure

3D Friday Mini Milk Carton using Oh Happy Day from Stampin' Up! UK

I have been working on this box in my head for months, I’m not the greatest box maker, but this box has followed me around, and driven me crackers …. So I decided that now was the time to make it!

I’m sure I could have come up with a slightly snapper title for it, but it is what it is….

They are so cute! The metric measurements make a slightly bigger milk carton than the imperial, it just made the measurements easier for me (and you!) to deal with

Measurements:

Card stock – 6 1/2 x 4 3/4″ (16.5 x 12 cm)

Score on the long side at 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2, and 6″ (4, 8, 12, and 16 cm)

Score on the short side at 1/2, 2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2″ (1, 5, 9, and 11 cm)

Designer Series Paper – 1 1/4 x 1 1/4″ (3.5 x 3.5 cm)

The stamp set I have used on these is from the Oh Happy Day Card kit (and I think that this was the first time I have used it on a project!) I love these cute sentiments though, and I might have to pull it out again soon.
