Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | October 2016

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge October 2016 Designer Tin of Cards Floral Boutique Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Oh yes, It’s that time again! Time for the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! I LOVE taking part in this challenge every month, we have a great time working with a sketch set by one of our members, and this month it is the gorgeous Sally Shaw.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge October 2016

Now, this sketch scared the pants off me! I would consider myself quite well versed in working with a sketch by now, but really I had NO idea what I was going to do with this one. When Sally sent it over to me to create the graphic I sat for a few minutes trying to see a stamp set or some Designer Series Paper, or anything I could work with as a jumping off point. My brain chose this moment to loose all creativity…. I had nothing!

But, it’s Ok, because the other thing that my brain does to me on a regular basis is remind me of stuff, this image kept coming to me – always when I was driving, or a work…. never anywhere I could be creative to get this sketch onto paper! Typical! But the one thing that kept coming back was those two long thin boxes and the idea of replacing them with ribbon or twine.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge October 2016 Designer Tin of Cards Floral Boutique Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

And so the thought of Twine became my jumping off point! I have made a few cards with a similar design recently, there is just something about those Layering Circles that just makes me want to use them all the time!

Seeing as I had a brand new spool of Night of Navy Bakers Twine it seemed sensible to use it on this card, one I had a colour I found this lovely Designer Series Paper in my paper storage, and that then linked me to the coordinating stamp set; Floral Phrases. The band across the card (yes I know, its not on the sketch, I’m using some artistic licence here) is heat embossed in white onto Night of Navy – love that border stamp.

Sending Love card using Floral Boutique and Designer Tin of Cards from Stampin' Up! UK

The Sentiment is taken from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set. It has a heart on it, and it just felt completely right to cover it with an Enamel Shape, I nearly kept to the monotone theme and used a Night of Navy heart too, but then remembered another challenge I took part in ages ago with was about monotone with a pop of colour, and so added a Real Red heart instead.

So, seeing as I couldn’t get my head around the sketch at all when it first landed on my desk, I am really rather pleased with the card I have created this week!

I cannot wait to see what the others have made this month, why not join me and hop along to the next person in our Challenge by using the Next button below.

Bold Bauble Christmas Card

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a super simple card for you today! I love a simple card, with massive impact, and I think this card fits that brief perfectly!

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a massive goal for myself over the next 6 months. Every 6 Months Stampin’ Up! hold a live event somewhere around the world, and next April their live event is in Amsterdam! I would LOVE to get there, but what with saving up for the new house, and the need for some new furniture for said home, spending the £600 for a long weekend is a little tricky – Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m planning to earn my way to Amsterdam! and that is where you come in! Every time you shop with me, or promote if you are a member of my team – I earn points, and what do points mean? That’s right, points mean that I get my ticket to the Amsterdam event for FREE (I still need to pay for travel and the hotel!). So, I would be so grateful for your support, and all you have to do is shop or join!

Happy Ornament Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card come together really super quickly; Happy Ornament is a single Wood Mount stamp and so it stamps really beautifully onto a piece of Whisper White using Basic Black Archival Ink (and Yes, I am gutted about that thumb print! but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice!). It is a fairly simple shape to fussy cut, add to a background of Designer Series Paper (Pop of Pink!) and add a big and beautiful bow made from Gold Satin Ribbon!

Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper Card

Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper Card using Stampin' up! UK

I am loving using Designer Series Paper at the moment (probably something to do with that AWESOME offer that is currently running!) and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share this card that I made at a recent team get together

Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper Card using Stampin' up! UK

There is no real way of describing how this card it put together. Other than that the card stock matts are cut before the layers. I randomly cut the card stock, and then cut the Designer Series Paper to fit. Once the matts and layers were cut and stuck together, I arranged them on the card. I do have one secret though, I actually intended for this card to stand up the other way, but then realised that the sentiment I had already stamped was the wrong way around! oops!

Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper Card using Stampin' up! UK

The other reason I’m sharing this card today is that this is part of my Stamp of the Month this month! I’m just loving that Designer Series Paper. It is super easy to join in with the Stamp of the Month Club; just you just need to purchase the Paisleys and Poises stamp set (or the stamp and die bundle) using the Code and I will then send you a card making kit (including some of this gorgeous Designer Series Paper) along with written instructions and video tutorials for a stack of projects at the end of the month. There is no commitment for Stamp of the Month Club, you can join in when you fancy!

Stamp of the Month Club

Stamp of the Month Club Stampin' Up! UKSorry for the late start of my Stamp of the Month club this month. I have been running the club for a few months now and haven’t been happy with how it has been running, so I’ve made a couple of little changes.

The club runs a fresh each month, there is no monthly commitment – allowing you to choose whether you take part or not each and every month. Club runs for a full calendar month, meaning that you can join in at any point and get the same benefits as everyone else in the club that month.

This month’s Stamp of the Month is the Paisleys and Posies.

What do I get as part of the Stamp of the Month Club?

Club members receive an Online card making class delivered via email, class includes videos for at least 4 projects as well as an instruction sheet. Club members also receive a kit of pre-cut card stock, envelopes and embellishments to complete the projects for that month delivered directly to their door. Kits are posted once club closes on the last day of the month

How do I join?

Joining is really easy! All you have to do is use the code when you order this months Stamp of the Month via my Stampin’ Up! webstore. Simple!

This months Stamp of the Month Code =

JK3H3PY7

So, Want else can I add to my order?

Well, anything, just as long as it includes this months Stamp of the Month stamp set! but I would suggest a few other things that will coordinate:

September Thank You Cards!

September Customer Thank You Cards using Warmth and Cheer from Stampin' Up! UK

One of my favourite days of the month is the first, this is the day of the month I grab all your orders from Stampin’ Up! and make each and every one of you a Thank You card (and sometimes even an extra something!). Your orders are processed once you place them, that is all handled by Stampin’ Up! but I love to send you an extra special something when you choose me as your demonstrator.

September Customer Thank You Cards using Warmth and Cheer from Stampin' Up! UK

I have been loving playing with our Designer Series Paper recently (as you may have noticed!) and although this particular pack isn’t included in the Fabulous Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer, I still think it is gorgeous! and you can get a sample of it in my Paper Share this week!

Warmth and Cheer Thank You cards Stampin' Up! UkWarmth and Cheer is a cute mixture of traditional Christmas, meets the current crafting obsession for anything stitched! But my favourite sheets in this 6 x 6 paper stack are these 3, simple Crumb Cake and Black in patterns that really, could be used for any occasion (loving those stars!)

The Thank You is taken from a bigger stamp in the Me = Grateful stamp set, the stamp usually reads ‘Thank You for seeing me through some Dark Days’ but I’ve used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to just ink the ‘Thank You’ – isn’t that font just lovely!

September Code Club Gifts Stampin' Up! UK

In addition to the cards that I send to each and every customer, I send extra special gifts to those who use my Code Club! Each month I release a new Code Club Code, and when you enter the code at the checkout I send you an extra special something, it varies from month to month, some times its stamps, other times I send embellishments or accessories, but you will always get an extra something for using the club!
