Oh! Designer Tee I Love you Lots….

Elephant Birthday card using Designer Tee and Love you Lots from Stampin' Up!

Sorry for the pun-y title today, but I just couldn’t help myself when the card uses the Stamp sets Designer Tee and Love You Lots!

Elephant Birthday card using Designer Tee and Love you Lots from Stampin' Up!

I made this card for a friend who LOVES elephants, although I think it would make an equally special New Baby card too. I have been playing around with this card layout for a while now, with a wide boarder around an embossed white layer… partly because I cut and embossed far to many for a project a while back, and partly because I love it!

Cute new baby card using Love you lots and Designer Tee from Stampin' Up!

The Elephant comes from the Stampin’ Rewards Exclusive set Love you Lots … there is only one way to get your hands on this one, its not in the main part of the catalogue but right at the back, and you can only get your hands on it by cashing in your Stampin’ Rewards. These are points that you can earn when you spend over £150 in a single order, you have to redeem them immediately, and during Sale-a-bration you get even more… earning an extra £20 of Rewards when you spend over £200!

The card itself is pretty simple; the Whisper White card stock is embossed with the Polka Dots embossing folder, and the Elephant is stamped in Basic Grey and then cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies … although I did a bit of die cutting magic to get a smaller rectangle as the shapes in the pack are squares! The inside was also stamped with the Elephant… because we all know that your insides should never be plain!

Global Design Project #070 | Falling for you…. and a ladybird!

Global Design Project Celebration card using Falling in Love with Lots of Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Oh yes, I’m back working with a Global Design Project sketch again this week. I am planning for this to be my weekly Tuesday blog post, however last week was crazy from the second I opened my eyes on Monday morning, and the crazy didn’t end until Sunday night…. I’m hoping for calm this week (but something tells me everything is about to go pear shaped again!)

Global Design Project Stampin' Up! Cardmaking challenge

I love the simplicity of this sketch, and I did have a plan to keep things really simple…. but then I spotted the couple of ladybirds on my stamp shelves and things went a little differently!

But aren’t they just so cute! I knew I wanted to use Designer Series Paper for the banner across the card, and I haven’t been able to put this pack of DSP away recently – its the brand new Sending Love Designer Series Paper stack that features loads of lovely patterns, one side of the paper is love / Valentines themed while the other is great polka dots and other more neutral patterns, but all in Real Red and Whisper White.

Sketch Challenge Celebration card with Ladybirds from Lots of Love and Falling in Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Those cute Ladybirds are from the Love You Lots, this fabulous stamp set is available with Stampin’ Rewards… and seeing as you have even more Stampin’ Rewards during Sale-a-bration this would be the perfect time to get your hands on it!

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I hope to see you again soon


Question of the Day: What are you doing today?

I’m off to the day job today, a lovely 9-5 day…. although I’m then off to the gym for the first time in, well lets just call it slightly too long! Wish me luck!

Sneak Peak | Sending a Smile Your Way

Love you Lots Love and Affection Card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Ok, So the Annual Catalogue goes live tonight! well, at about 2Am, so its kinda tomorrow morning, but I will be asleep as I am at work tomorrow (and Thursday and Friday), but I will have a blog post and email scheduled for you guys tomorrow.

I thought I would share the cards I included in with my catalogues today. I just love this frog, he is so super cute! He comes from one of the new Hostess exclusive Stamp Sets – Love you Lots. This set is available if you spend over £150 or host a party that spends over £150.

Stampin' Up! UK Love you Lots Cards

These cards were sent out with my customer catalogues, I sent them totally blank and ready for the recipients to send to their loved ones.

Love you Lots Love and Affection Card using Stampin' Up! UK ProductsThese cards all used the same Masking technique that I discussed last week in the Pinkies Blog Hop. The frog is stamped in Archival Basic Black ink onto Thick Whisper White, and once the ink was dry I covered in Fine-Tip glue. I really love this type of masking, although it takes a little while as the glue has to be completely dry before adding any ink. The tags are sponged in Sweet Sugarplum and either Emerald Envy or Dapper Denim depending on the card base colour.

Love you Lots Love and Affection Stampin' Up! UKThe sentiment is taken from Love and Affection, another new stamp set coming tomorrow!!! Yay!
