Make It Monday | Yankee Candle Gift Bag

Make It Monday Pootles Papercraft Yankee Candle Gift Bag using Petal Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

This week I have another project from a Crafty Retreat I went on a few weekends ago. I LOVE to craft with my Stampin’ Sisters (or anyone for that matter!) and I don’t get to do it very often. However, I do have a plan for some Crafty Retreats for you lovely people coming really really soon! To keep up to date with any news regarding any upcoming events, please sign up for my Email newsletter HERE!

I have two different versions of this cute gift bag, perfect for Yankee Candle Tealights (or chocolate, or sweeties, lipstick, etc). The first is a fun coffee themed version using the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper and Coffee Cafe stamp set. While the version I made on video uses the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper and Rose Garden stamp set and coordinating dies.

Measurements:

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

Score on the first side at 1 3/4, 2 3/4, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2″ (4.5, 7, 11.5 and 14 cm)

Score on the second side at 1″ (2.5 cm)

I adore that ribbon, it is so pretty and super easy to tie into bows! Although I’m not sure you can tell by looking at that picture! As always the links to all the products in this project can be found in my Webstore, and direct links are below…

Global Design Project #083 | Sparkle with Rose Wonder

Global Design Project Just Because Card using Rose Wonder from Stampin' Up!

I hope you had a great Easter weekend, and while you might be heading back to work today I thought I would attempt to brighten your day with my ‘sparkly’ entry into this weeks Global Design Project theme Challenge.

I have subscribed to the GDP emails (it’s really easy, just hop over to their blog and pop your email into the ‘subscribe to our email’ box… what this means is that my Monday mornings at work are brightened by the arrival of a new challenge into my inbox somewhere around 10:30 ish. Which is lovely, and makes Monday’s much better! So, at break time yesterday morning I check my personal emails to find this lovely email in my inbox…. what’s this weeks challenge?! Sparkles…. right, ok! Now, normally ideas will form in my head pretty quickly, not this week. I got home at 5PM and I still had no ideas. All I had was that I wanted to use Shimmery White Card stock.

Shimmery White Card stock is super pretty, and sparkly… but trying to capture the sparkle in a photograph is tricky. I have created a video over on my Instagram to give you a closer look at the sparkle.

My favourite technique using Shimmery White card stock is watercolour. Because it is a bit thicker than Whisper White it is great for watercolour backgrounds. This one was super easy and quick to create, the trick is in the Aqua Painter and making sure there is plenty of water. I added a light wash of Melon Mambo to the card stock with the Aqua Painter, and dried it with a heat tool, before adding further light layers of colour to build this effect.

Once the card stock was dry, I added two stamped flowers from Rose Wonder in Melon Mambo and the sentiment in Basic Black. I played around with the die cut flower, initially it was in Shimmery White, then Basic Black, but I finally settled on Melon Mambo, and added two trios of Rhinestones to complete sparkly look.

Advant Garden meets Rose Wonder

Sympathy Card using Avant Garden and Rose Garden from Stampin' Up! UK

Sometimes we have to make cards we don’t like, sometimes we have to make sad cards, cards that are hard to make not because its a technique we struggle with but because its for a sad occasion… this was me last week. Last week I lost my grandfather after a year long battle with Cancer, I don’t write sad blog posts, I write happy smiley blog posts about happy crafting… but this card might be the hardest card I have ever had to make.

I made two of these, one for my dad and the other for my Aunt. They are super simple, but what is more heartfelt than a hand stamped card.

The flower is from Avant Garden (FREE during Sale-a-bration, all you need to do to claim your copy is spend £45 in my Online Store before 31st March) while the sentiments are taken from Rose Wonder…. a set which I had totally not realised has several sentiments perfect for sad occasions, I had only managed to see the wedding side of this stamp set before.

I have to say though, the only thing harder than making these cards was writing in them…

For some things there are just no words…..

Gifts of Love | Sympathy Card

Sympathy card watercoloured gifts of love card using Stampin' Up! UK products

A few weeks ago I shared my Quick and Easy Sympathy card that I like to keep on hand, but sometimes you need an extra special card to sent to someone in their worst moments.

The Gifts of love stamp set is just so pretty, and its lovely watercoloured. The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set, and is stamped in Garden Green and heat embossed in clear. This is one of my favourite ways to use Vellum, because Stampin’ Up! ink drys more slowly on Vellum that it does on card stock you can add clear embossing powder to create coloured heat embossing.

Gifts of Love is one of the current hostess stamp sets; these sets are exclusively available for purchase with your Stampin’ Rewards. Stampin’ Rewards are awarded to party hostesses or individuals posting orders of over £150, and must be redeemed in the order in which they are earned. You can find all the current hostess sets HERE.

The background Designer Series Paper is from the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper pack. This paper comes as white sheets, each one with a different texture, I watercoloured it here in Pool Party to match the card base and watercolour around the flowers.

Question of the day: What type of cards do you make most? Me, I make more Thank you cards than any other kinda, although I’m sure that balance has tipped over to Christmas cards at the moment!

How to …. Make a Quick and Simple Sympathy Card

How to video tutorial quick and easy simple sympathy card using Rose Wonder from Stampin' Up! UK

There are some cards that we should always have on hand; birthday cards, congratulations, Thank you… for me a With Sympathy card falls into that ‘must have’ category. However I found a couple of weeks ago that I didn’t have one when I really needed one (so of course I whipped one up) and so I thought I would share a Quick and Easy sympathy card for you to either make in a hurry, or make and keep on hand for those sad occasions.

Smoky Slate

Emerald Envy

Wisteria Wonder

I’m loving that colour combination too, although the Wisteria Wonder hasn’t translated awfully well in the photograph

Bunch of Blossoms Birthday Card

Yes, I still have birthday cards to share, this past month has been crazy, and November isn’t much better – there are at least 2, if not 3 birthday’s in November and one of them is a big one! better get my thinking cap on!

I sent this card to my Aunt for her birthday at the Start of October, and I know that she LOVED it!

I have to say first of all, how fresh is this colour combination! Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive, with Whisper White. There are three stamp sets at work here (sorry!); Bunch of Blossoms, Rose Wonder and Playful Backgrounds. Those bubbles are stamped in Flirty Flamingo onto Flirty Flamingo card stock – loving a bit of tone on tone!

One of the many wonderful things about Stampin’ Up! is the coordination of products, and this card jut proves this again – the matching stamp and punch used to create the flower, the tone on tone stamping, the matching ink and card stock colours, and don’t start me on those In-Colour Enamel Shapes!

Go Wild Scrapbook Page

12x12 Scrapbook page Engagement shoot Designer Series Paper Stampin' Up!

Something that you may not know about me, is that originally I was a 12×12 scrapbooker, and I only started making cards to use up my scraps of patterned paper. I don’t tend to show you guys much memory keeping on the blog, mainly because I don’t get much time to make 12×12 layouts very often anymore. However, I am about to embark on the enormous project that is my Wedding Album! I have everything ready, I just haven’t gotten around to printing the pictures! I am hoping to have at least made a start on the album by the time our first anniversary rolls around in August.

So, this layout will be finding its way into the Wedding Album, as it is part of our Engagement photo shoot.

I was challenged by my wonderful upline to use up a pack of Designer Series Paper a few weeks ago. At a Team Training event she presented us all with a pack of the Go Wild Designer Series Paper, as well as a couple of embellishment type bits and bobs and asked us to see what we could create. I have a whole heap of card using this paper now – which you will see if you are subscribed to my Email Newsletter today.

The layout is actually pretty simple. There are several layers of Designer Series Paper and Card Stock behind the photo. Because I enjoy the layered effect some of the layers have raised corner – popped up with a dimensional, and then I die cut the Rose Garden thinlits out of Blushing Bride Card Stock as embellishments. The title is stamped using the Layered Letters Alphabet, and the layout was completed with a scattering of Blushing Bride sequins.

The Go Wild Designer Series Paper stack is retiring soon (end of May) and is currently available for a reduced price of £5.08! Awesome!

Rose Garden Congratulations

I’m loving playing with my big shot, framelits and thinlits at the moment. I have a set of cards coming later in the week that features a heap of different sets of dies, and really I probably should be sharing those first as this card uses one of the off cuts from those!

The leaf is taken from the Rose Garden thinlits dies, and is sponged with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz inks to create a gradient effect. The Congratulations is taken from Big News – I love this stamp set, perfect for a whole heap of occasions – and is actually stamped in Old Olive and heat embossed but some how looks gold on here!

This card just needed an extra something, I had some Gold Glimmer paper left out on my desk from another project, so I grabbed some handheld punches (1/4″ and 1/8″ I think) and created a trio of sparkle. You could use traditional glitter, but this way was much less messy!

One Layer Birthday

My crafty mojo is still missing, and so I’m still sharing the stack of cards that have been abandoned on my desk.

This card was made purely to test out a colour combination. I do this quite often, make a quick card or panel in a couple of colours to see how well it works. I love the simplicity of this card, one layer is something I just don’t do, but I might have do start doing more often.

The stamps are from Perpetual Birthday Calender and Rose Wonder, the colours are Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride

However, once I had ‘finished’ it was a little too simple, and so I added a splatter or Wink of Stella in Gold, and a trio of Crystal Effects spots.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge – A Rose Wonder Thank You

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge Rose Wonder

Welcome to another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Blog Hop, I’m so glad you joined us today.

This week it was my turn to design the sketch! I have been so looking forward to this bit, I love seeing how creative people can be so I set the girls a tough one this week – a totally black sketch! I know, it was mean, but did they create some great projects (if you haven’t seen anyone elses creations yet, please use the buttons at the bottom of this post to see what everyone has created this week)

Saying that I designed this sketch, you would have thought I would have made my card straight away, and had some marvellous idea! I wish, no this week has been crazy, working 6 days, brand new job, very stressed, and so trying to make a card for today has been a bit of a nightmare to be honest. On Thursday I still hadn’t made anything and so started a quest through Pinterest for some inspiration – nothing, my crafty mojo had up’d and left! Great! But then, I woke on Friday with a card fully formed in my brain, wonderful, mojo returned! and so this was my creation!

I die cut a circle from a piece of copy paper and used it as a mask to ink blend. The colours in the circle are Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red and Pool Party – all added with Stampin’ Sponges, and a very light touch. I stamped the flower before lifting the mask, and added some die cut leaves in Vellum and Whisper White card stock. I adhered these with a glue dots, which you could still see after adding the leaves, so the die cut flower was added to cover my mess!

Please hop on and see what the girls have made this week

Did you know we also have a group Pinterest Board, where you can see all our projects in one go!
