Hello!

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I had a short blogging break over the weekend, but I am back and getting ready for the launch of the Spring/Summer catalogue next week! there are some really exciting things coming really soon.

I wanted to let you know that I have updated my blogging calender ready for the new year, and aim to post 2 cards and 2 3-d items a week, with a return of Fancy Fold Fridays, AND more video tutorials! yay!

So, without further ado, lets get to todays card!

Stampin' Up! UK Hello A Dozen Thoughts Pallion Potpourri

When I was planning for this week I thought I would set myself a challenge. So, I randomly selected four ink colours and two stamp sets with the aim of making a couple of cards for this weeks posts. This was the first card I made, using A Dozen Thoughts and Papillon Potpourri, with Gorgeous Grunge accents.

The ink colours I used were So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay.

I have to say, I love the look of this card, but the colours wouldn’t have been my first choice of colour combinations. However, I think it works! That is one of the great things about Stampin’ Up! the colours are all designed to work together. Oh, and that the inks match the cardstock because the card base here is So Saffron too!

To finish I added some Candy dots to either side of the Sentiment (punched out with the Modern label punch), and gave the largest butterfly some bling!

Save the Date

Ok, so we’re getting to that point in the year when all those Brides start looking for Wedding Stationary (If you are one of those Brides BTW check out this page!), and so as crafters we are often called upon to make invitations, save the dates, thank you cards etc. etc.

Stampin' Up! UK Save the Date Cheers to Love Butterflies

This lovely Save the Date card uses a sentiment from Cheers to Love (lovely for wedding cards!), and some of the butterflies from Papillon Potpourri.

The card base here is the Brushed Gold cardstock (Yum!) with a Whisper White piece. I first stamped the solid butterflies in Blushing Bride, before overstamping the detailed butterflies in Gold! The Sentiment is also stamped using the Gold Metallic Encore Ink.

The larger butterfly I stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White, in VersaMark, before embossing in Gold, and punching it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Both the Whisper White stamped piece, and the large butterfly are added to the card base with dimensionals for that layered look.

So thankful for you!

Hello!

 

I thought I would take a step away from Christmas just for a moment! To say thanks!

Last week I featured the Festival of Trees Stamp Set (still not sick of that set yet! I just LOVE it!), and had such a great response from all of you (both here and on facebook!) and just wanted to say thanks to all of you!

Stampin' Up! UK Calypso Coral Good GreetingsI love bright colours, and rich colours, really I just love colour! but coral isn’t really my colour. So, when I looked through which ink pads I didn’t own a few weeks ago, it wasn’t a surprise to me that Calypso Coral hadn’t worked its way into my basket. But all of the Stampin’ Up! colours are just so beautiful I decided to take a chance on the coral!

How cute is this colour! It’s definitely on the orange spectrum, but its so soft and pretty! and please tell me, what is prettier than butterflies and flowers! So, I grabbed the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and I Like You (hostess set), along with our Product of the Month – Good Greetings! and stamped this card!

There are actually two butterflies here, I punched one butterfly out of Calypso Coral DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack, and then added the stamped and punched butterfly over the top with a single Glue Dot to give some great dimension!

I am so Thankful for you! Thanks so much for all your comments and orders. Check out my Facebook page HERE! and shop HERE!

Thank you continuing to read on, on this wonder World Card Making Day 2014!

This is my final card!

Stampin' Up! UK I Like You Elegant Butterfly

This simple card uses two punches (a bit like THIS card from earlier today!). First punch the Elegant Butterfly and then punch the Decorative Label around it!  I then added a stamped butterfly to the cardbase, and added the punched piece around it.

The sentiment is simply stamped from the I Like You hostess set underneath.

World Card Making Day 2014 – Rosey Papillon

As we continue our journey through 12 cards in 12 hours for World Card Making Day 2014, I thought I would just remind you that all the products used for all the cards cost less than £130, and so could form your Stampin’ Up! Started Kit! message me HERE for more information about joining Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Red Papillon Potpourri

This card uses not only that gorgeous Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and a piece of DSP!

The butterflies are mutli-colour stamped using the Stampin’ Write Markers! (I love these. Not only are they great for journalling, but the brush tip allows you to colour your stamps, meaning that you can create multi-coloured stamped images like these butterflies!)

The cardbase is Rose Red, and the DSP is Blushing Bride from the Subtles DSP stack!

This is the 7th card for World Card Making Day 2014 – are you sick of me yet?!

Stampin' Up! UK Papillion Potpourri I like you

This super cute card uses the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set, and the Elegant Butterfly punch.

I love the colour combination: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron – which doesnt show up so wonderfully in photographs as DD and SS are such similar colours 🙁

World Card Making Day 2014 – Thankful of Papillon!

Almost halfway through our 12 cards for World Card Making Day 2014 – this is card number 6!

thankful for papillon

This card uses a number of the stamps from Papillon Potpourri – a lovely collection of butterfly stamps – which coordinate beautifully with the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches.

This card uses Rose red, Garden Green, and Wisteria Wonder, to stamp a flock (maybe?!) of butterflies. and then the Large flying butterfly has been punched with that Elegant Butterfly punch!

lovely!
