Hello Flowering Fields

Stampin' Up! Flower Fields Sale-a-bration Card

I’m loving this years Sale-a-bration event. I really must day ‘Thanks’ to each and every person who has chosen to shop with me for the first time this year, I had a bumper January, and am hoping that this year is going to be awesome. I always send Thank You cards to those who choose to shop with me, with an extra special something for people who use my Code Club Code. If you haven’t received a card from me it may be that you have selected ‘No Contact’, if you think you have missed out, please drop me a message!

Stampin' Up! Flower Fields Sale-a-bration Card

This card uses one of my Sale-a-bration favourites, Flowering Fields. Stamped in Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry, with a piece of the coordinating Designer Series Paper Wildflower Fields.

The ‘Hello’ is from the Tin of Cards stamp set; I’m loving this font! I’m a sucker for a good font, and Stampin’ Up! are really knocking it out of the park with typefaces at the moment, just stunning. The Hello is stamped in Rich Razzleberry on a piece of Whisper White punched out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. I’ve done a bit of punch layering (unusual for me) with a 1 3/8″ Old Olive circle and a Rich Razzleberry Scallop Circle in the 1 3/4″ size. Very pretty

I added a piece of Whisper White Satin Ribbon and a bow to finish

Celebrate….

Stampin' Up! UK Celebrate Suite Sayings Birthday Blooms

Over the past few months I have been trying to make cards with bright colours (trying to stave off the winter blues!) but I found myself making a monotone card last week. Does this happen to anyone else, when a project just arrives fully formed on the desk and you have no real idea how the hell it got there! It doesn’t happen often, but its wonderful when it does

Stampin' Up! UK Celebrate Suite Sayings Birthday Blooms

I spotted a card on Pinterest a few weeks ago that just used this one flower from Birthday Blooms. I have to admit that I had to go and look for the stamp, because I had completely over looked it! Shocking! I love a simple line image, and this is just perfect stamped in Early Espresso and blurred slightly with a blender pen.

You might recognise the sentiment, its from Suite Sayings (again, I know, I’m in love ok!), the stamp usually reads Celebrate You but I masked off the You with some of my trusty sticky label tape before inking in Early Espresso. I love this way of getting more out of your sentiment stamps, but y remember to remove that stick label before stamping or you may end up with an inky mess

Stampin' Up! UK Birthday Blooms monotone card

Even though the rest of the card is Early Espresso and Very Vanilla, I think the addition of the Typeset map paper matt really adds to this one. I’m still working my way through a backlog of Designer Series Paper, I do have a plan for most of it though, just got to find the time to make a heap of cards!

Rose Wonder

Stampin' Up! UK Rose wonder birthday card

I’ve recently volunteered to make the birthday cards for the residents in the nursing home where I work. We have up to 69 residents at one time, so I probably should get cracking! There are also a heap of family birthdays in January, so you may well be seeing a whole heap of birthday cards on the blog in the coming weeks!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder

I am loving the Rose Wonder stamp and die bundle! The dies are so pretty and delicate, and the stamp set includes a host of really handy sentiments including birthday, wedding, and sympathy.

The Rose is totally the star of this card – to create this particular rose I die cut the flower from Lost Lagoon card stock and a matching piece of Designer Series Paper from the Going Places stack. I did the same with the leaves, using Mossy Meadow card stock and a similar piece of Designer Series Paper. I have been experimenting with adhesives to stick these dies down, I’m not normally a wet glue gal, however, I love using Tombow or the 2-way glue pen on these die cuts. I stuck the rose down to a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, and then inlaid the die cut pieces of the Designer Series Paper. This allowed me to fussy cut the rose and pop the whole thing up onto dimensionals. The leaves are stuck directly onto the Very Vanilla card front.

Stampin' Up! UK Rose wonder birthday card

The strange patterns on the card stock of the rose was a bit of a mistake, but by the time I had got the rose assembled I wasn’t about to start again! Once I had stuck all the pieces stuck I ran the Rose back through my Big Shot, this proved to be a mistake, as my rather battered big shot plates embossed their marks into my rose! oops!

The card was just a little plan, and so I added some Delightful Dijon ink onto the Very Vanilla card front with a sponge.

Dear Friend…

Stampin' Up! UK Circle Card

I’m live blogging again today, before I spend a large part of the rest of my day scheduling posts for the next few weeks! I’m slowly getting back on schedule after a crazy Christmas, I’m sure everyone else is still in a period of adjustment after the New Year too (please say I’m not the only one!)

This past weekend I hosted my first event of 2016, we had a great time stamping and chatting – you can see what we made by subscribing to my Weekly Newsletter.

Stampin' Up! Uk Birthday Bouquet Dear Friend

I was totally inspired by a card I found on Pinterest for this one. I couldn’t wait to cut into this gorgeous Designer Series Paper here either, this is the brand new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper; featuring a lovely mix of florals and small patterns, and some gorgeous balloons that I haven’t been able to cut yet!

Stampin' Up! UK Circle Card

Did you see that bow?! I know, I am totally shocked too! I love this ribbon, even someone as bow challenged as me can manage to tie this stuff, and it is SO pretty!

The Dear Friend, is taken from the Birthday Blooms stamp set (another new stamp set that I can’t put down!), stamped in Pool Party to coordinate with that ribbon and the lovely Designer Series Paper.

Sketch Challenge| Global Design Project 018

Stampin' Up! UK Just Saying Hello

Hello!

Sorry for my slightly late post for today, been trying to catch up on photographing my projects this morning, and time sort of ran away from me a little bit! I’ve actually been quite prolific this weekend, and have made a stack of cards – which makes me feel so much better as I was beginning to think that my crafting mojo had up and left! but a stressful weekend of work On Call has led me back to my crafty stress relief!

Anyway, I thought I would take a sketch challenge today, I’ve been following the Global Design Project for a little while, but actually jumping in and creating anything for one of the challenges has been somewhat of a challenge in itself! Well, this week I’m on holiday from my day job (thank goodness!) and so am taking time to craft and blog. So this morning I was having a little browse through Facebook and was reminded of this challenge by the lovely Michelle Last.

So here is my take on this weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge!

Global Design Project sketch challenge 018

I love a good sketch challenge! speaking of which the Simple Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop is back this week! Yay! I have been sitting on my project for this weekend for a while, I can’t wait to share! anyway, getting back to THIS sketch challenge…..

Stampin' Up! UK Global Design Project Sketch Challenge

I’m still trying super hard to cut into my packs of Designer Series Paper. I am determined not to have heaps of the stuff left at the end of the this Annual catalogue (unlike last year!) and so am trying to use papers more on cards. Now, I know I have sinned here; layering two patterns one on top of the other without card stock between, but somehow I think it works. I love this paper in particular; its the English Garden Designer Series Paper from the annual catalogue, it is gorgeous! I’m a sucker for colour and at the moment I am totally in love with all things Rose Red.

Stampin' Up! UK Just Saying Hello

The ‘Hello’ is taken from the Hello Stamp Set (in this years Sale-a-bration offering) along with that cute smiley face. Hello is stamped in Rose Red and fussy cut with my paper snips. I am not a world expert at fussy cutting, but I give it my best, and I’m fairly pleased with this effort. The smiley face and ‘Just Sayin” (from Crazy About You) are both stamped in Marina Mist, as is the flower stamp in the background.

I loved creating this card, and will certainly be taking the Global Design Project challenge again!

Pootlers Sale-a-bration Blog Hop!

bog hop-001

Oh yes, its that time again! Time for a Pootler’s blog hop. This week we are celebrating the launch of Sale-a-bration – the biggest promotion of the year – where Stampin’ Up! gives you a free gift for each and every £45 you spend! (in one order!). Plus there are great deals for hostesses and new team members too!

So, please hop around our blogs today, the girls have worked so hard to create some great projects featuring our free products, use the next and previous buttons at the bottom of this post to hop along to Anna and her wonderful project

SAB blog hop

I will admit that thought I organise the Pootler’s blog hops, this time for me it has all been a bit of a mad rush. Over the 2 weeks of Christmas I managed to get 3 days off, and so my business has had to take a bit of a back seat. However, things are slowly getting back to normal, and with the launch of the latest catalogue and start of Sale-a-bration I’m all yours again.

This card features two of the Sale-a-bration products for this year. The Designer Series Paper is called Wildflower Fields. I love the colour combination of this paper, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral, Hello Honey and Old Olive, just gorgeous! I featured this paper last week as well, during my Sneak Peek feature, as I included some samples of it in my customer catalogues.

The Hello is taken from one of the limited time products also called Hello, only available until 15th February, this adorable stamp set would be perfect for children’s birthdays or new babies.

I’ve added a few sequins from the Brights Sequin Assortment that the lovely Sam (aka: Pootles) sent me last month, not only are they great colours (of course!) but there are several different shapes of sequins in the pack, circles, hearts and stars. And who doesn’t love a couple of sequins!

Hope you’ve enjoyed our hop today, see you again in 2 weeks for some great Spring / Summer catalogue inspiration

You are my greatest adventure….

I’m sure that no one except me is already thinking about Valentines day…. It’s not something we particularly celebrate (one of us is usually at work! and I am NOT paying all that money just to have dinner out!) but we do give each other a card.

Going Places valentines

Manly looking Valentines are hard though, really hard! But this year it is a little easier thanks to Stampin’ Up! and the Going Global stamp set and Going Places Designer Series Paper. I’m loving the current selection of Designer Series Papers, Did you know that if you join my team during Sale-a-bration I will send you a 6 x 6 pack of Designer Series Paper for free!

This card uses a couple of punches; the Sweetheart punch coordinates with the stamp from Going Global, while the 3 smaller hearts are from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.

Sale-a-bration Sneak Peak – Birthday edition

Stampin' Up! UK Wildflower fields birthday Sale-a-bration

Before Sale-a-bration launches on Tuesday, I have a couple of sneak peak cards featuring one of the packs of Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE when you spend £45 between January 5th and 31st March 2016

Stampin' Up! UK Wildflower fields birthday Sale-a-bration

This paper is super pretty, the pack contains 12 Sheets, 2 of each of 6 designs, of 12 x 12 papers, and features some of my favourite colours. I love using Designer Series paper for colour inspiration, and this pack is going to inspire me for a while I think; I’m loving the colour combination; Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive and Whisper White.

The sentiment is taken from the same Suite Sayings stamp set as yesterday. This set is available in the Spring / Summer catalogue, which launches on 5th January 2016.

I’m really pleased with the way the bow turned out on this one. I adore the Bow Builder Punch, but it can be a little awkward to assemble. I usually use Mini Glue Dots to make the bow, but this time I made the effort and took the time to use Tombow glue, it was so worth it. It takes longer to use a wet glue, as you have to hold the pieces together until they are stuck, but the bow is less bulky, and super pretty once its done.

Home for Christmas

Stampin' Up! UK Designer Series Paper Christmas Card

I thought this week I would give you a few ideas for your last minute Christmas cards.

Stampin' Up! UK Designer Series Paper Christmas Card

This card uses the fabulous Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (that MAY still be available in the End of Year Sale!) Have I mentioned about the End of Year Sale – There are heaps of bargains on some wonderful products so please do check it out if you haven’t already!

The card is super simple actually, one piece of Designer Series Paper measuring 10 x 14.2 cm that I have sponged the edges of, with another strip of paper (10 x 2.5 cm) matted with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

The sentiment is from Santa’s Gifts, stamped in Real Red ink. I think the circle is the 1 1/4″ circle punch, but I cant remember! oops!
