Stinkin’ Inkers Challenge | Showers of Flowers

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!

See you soon

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!

Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE product!

I have LOVED Sale-a-bration this year, and am so sad that it is over! However, I am off to Amsterdam next week for Stampin’ Up!

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!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | A Day to Celebrate….

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Scrapbook page details using Stampin' Up! products

Welcome back to the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! I am so excited to be joining in with the lovely ladies of this group again this month. I actually made my project 3 weeks ago, when Sally released the sketch into our Private Facebook group, but I only managed to get it photographed and this post written last night.

Like I said, the lovely Sally Shaw from SallyStampers set our sketch this month, and I thought it was perfect for a scrapbook page…. so that it what I made!

Each one of the circles are stamped with one of the small stamps from So In Love, in the coordinating colour so the Pink Pirouette circle was stamped with Pink Pirouette ink, the Blushing Bride circle was stamped with Blushing Bride ink, and the Marina Mist circle was stamped with Marina Mist ink.

I am still (very slowly) working my way through my wedding album, and most of the pages are fairly simple, after all I want people to be looking at the photographs!

This page was finished with a trio of banners using Designer Series Paper in the same colours, and then a touch of ink spatter diagonally across the page.

Right, I better go….It’s James’ birthday today and so once I have checked that this post is live I have a whole weekend of Birthday and Mother’s day celebrations. Hope you have a great weekend to
