3D Friday | Squishy Giftbag

I am loving 3D Friday, I hope you are too! I shared this giftbag project a while ago (it was for a Global Design Project Challenge!) but I realised last week that I never got round to filming the tutorial… so here it is!

This paper of Designer Series Paper has totally grown on me through the course of this years Annual Catalogue, I wasn’t sure fruit themed paper was really my thing, but I have found that I have used it a lot over the past 10 months! This particular pattern is my favourite, and so I have struggled to use it! But the next Annual Catalogue launch is quickly approaching and so I have started my mission to use up my left over Designer Series Paper!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24 and 29 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

Flirty Flamingo mat – 2 x 2 3/4″ (5 x 7 cm)

Whisper White layer – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ (4.5 x 6.5 cm)

This Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Fresh Fruit Stamp Set, which is where the stamped images are taken from.

Thanks so much for checking out the blog today. Don’t forget to stop over at my Facebook Page to see what I have been getting up to in Amsterdam this week!

Global Design Project #081 | Endless Birthday Wishes with a Swirly Bird

Global Design Project #081 Endless Birthday Wishes with Swirly Bird Stampin' Up! Birthday Card

I always enjoy taking part in Global Design Project Challenges, but I think the colour ones are my favourite. I love being given a set of colours I had never thought of using together and seeing what I can create, saying that this week’s colour challenge was a little different

I always enjoy using Night of Navy and Whisper White together, but that Free Choice was tricky! I have a couple of go to choices…. Watermelon Wonder or Melon Mambo…. but I didn’t want to use them this time. So I spun my Colour Caddy with my eyes closed and selected an ink that way, so ended up with Flirty Flamingo!

My current Online Card Class uses the Swirly Bird Bundle, I LOVE this stamp set. I have had so much fun making cards with Swirly Bird ready for my ladies (and gentlemen) this month. The coordinating dies not only cut out some of the stamped images, but add to the cards you make with accent pieces like this swirl!

The only (little) issue with Swirly Bird is that it doesn’t include any sentiments… however, there are some lovely sentiment sets in both the Annual and Spring Summer catalogue. This card uses Endless Birthday Wishes, (how cute is that font!) I love this stamp set, but it doesn’t come of the shelf very often… maybe I’ll have to get it out again soon!

Stinkin' Inkers April Challenge Shower of Flowers Birthday card using Birthday Blossoms from Stampin' Up!

Oh today is such a big day in my crafty office…. not only is this my first post as part of the Stinkin’ Inkers Design Team, but I am frantically preparing to head off to Amsterdam tomorrow, as well as it being mine and James’s 6th anniversary! busy busy!

The Stinkin’ Inker’s are a wonderful group of super talented ladies, each month we release a challenge, and we would LOVE for you to play along! The challenge for the month of April is ‘Shower of Flowers’

This card uses the Birthday Blossoms stamp set from Stampin’ Up! which I stamped and heat embossed in Perfect Plum ink. I then added colour to the flowers using ink and a blender pen in Perfect Plum, Rich Razzleberry, Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride.

I finished this one with a trio of Jewel Rhinestones. Keeping it simple this month, March was crazy busy and the start of April is too… looking forward to getting to Amsterdam for some chill time with my Stampin’ Sisters! Check out my Facebook for updates from me while I’m away! Oh, and don’t forget to pop over to the Stinkin’ Inker’s to see the other ladies wonderful creations!

Make It Monday | Acrylic Block Stamping

Make It Monday Video Tutorial watercolour acrylic block stamping with Picture Perfect from Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Make It Monday! I was looking at what I could film for this weeks Make It Monday video tutorial, and I realised that I hadn’t looked at any techniques for a while, and seeing as this is one of my favourites, I thought I would share it again today!

As regular readers will be well aware I love a spot of Watercolouring! and for me that is any technique that mixes ink and water. This card was totally inspired by a card in the most recent edition of Stampin’ Success – the exclusive Demonstrator magazine (one of the many benefits of being part of Stampin’ Up!), and I used the same colour combination; Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Basic Black.

One of the most important things to remember when using ink and water in your card making, it getting the right card stock. Stampin’ Up! have 3 great options; watercolour paper, Thick Whisper White card stock, and Shimmery White card stock – which is what I have used here. Shimmery White has glitter embedded in it, and it is so pretty in real life but its tricky to pick up in photos.

Thanks for checking out my Make It Monday post this week. Do check back to my blog tomorrow for the start of something really cool!

Mother’s Day Cards 2017

Mother’s Day (or Mothering Sunday …. my mum tells me off when I don’t call it Mothering Sunday!) was last weekend here in the UK, and although I would rather share some Mother’s Day ideas with you before the day, I can’t share my cards until after. Yes, I make more than one Mothers Day card; one for my mum and one for James’s (although they are usually exactly the same!)

I shared a sneaky peak of the colours I used on this card over on my Instagram over the weekend… because as organised as I usually am, I made my cards for Mothering Sunday (keep mum happy) on Saturday morning! There are a heap of colours on this one, but I think it works with the two step stamped flowers… So I have used: Calypso Coral, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate and Watermelon Wonder.

I love the Jar of Love stamp set, it is just so easy to make pretty cards with, particular when you pair it with the coordinating Everyday Jars framelit dies… and I love that Stampin’ Up! have confirmed that this stamp set will carry over to the new catalogue in June Yay! I am so excited that I get to see the new catalogue next week!!!! One of the very very many perks of being a Stampin’ Up! independent demonstrator is the opportunity to attend Stampin’ Up! organised events, see the catalogue first, and get to Pre-Order new stamps and products a whole month ahead of everyone else! I would LOVE to share this opportunity with you. You can see the new catalogue next week too by joining my team of Stampin’ Friends (and I would seriously recommend joining before Friday night, because you get to choose a further 2 stamp sets for FREE in your Starter Kit!)

I even managed to stamp the inside of these cards with the cute jar image! The sentiment is taken from Crazy About You, I LOVE that font! I found my grandma’s old typewriter when we were clearing her house a few weeks ago, the font is almost exactly the same, I cannot wait to get it serviced / repaired so I can use it in my wedding scrapbook album!

Global Design Project #080 | You’re So Kind

You're So Kind card for the Global Design Project using Butterflies Watercolour Wings from Stampin' Up!

Oh wow! I cannot believe that I got a Special Mention for my Global Design Project card last week! Totally made my Monday.

This weeks Global Design Project is to Case The Designer, and this weeks card is the creation of the lovely Louise Sharpe; Mrs GDP herself! You can check out the card inspiration over on the Global Design Project Blog.

I have used Louise’s card as a sketch, and the colour combo was inspired by my ribbon draw! I reached into my stash of ribbon because I knew I wanted to use ribbon as the horizontal element and the first ribbon I picked up was this lovely ruched example in Sweet Sugarplum.

The butterfly can be found in Watercolour Wings. It is made of 4 different stamps, that I have stamped in 4 separate colours; Sahara Sand (stamped off once), Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum, and Rich Razzleberry.

The tag is a 2″ wide piece of Watercolour paper that I have added a heavy wash of Sweet Sugarplum onto. I added different layers of watercolour (I love those hard edges in watercolour don’t you?) to create some more depth and texture. The sentiment is also from Watercolour Wings and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry.

I finished this card with a double bow of Linen Thread (one of my favourite elements of Louise’s card), Linen Thread is so easy to tie bows with, and I love this one where I cut a long length and folded it in half before tying the bow.

Have you joined in with the Global Design Project this week? I can’t wait to see everyone else’s creations!
