Enjoy Life Inpirational Quote Card using Stampin Up Products

Good Morning,

It's Friday, and I have a day off from my full time Job.... So I am crafting away this morning and them I am out to meet my friend for a coffee this afternoon.

I wanted to share this card with you today. I love this Stamp set, designed by million seller Connie Fitzgerald. It's such a great inspirational set. The sentiments in this set are great, but this one is my favourite....

Take a piece of whisper white the measures 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" along the bottom edge stamp the grass in call me clover, I stamped off first as I thought it was too bright as is.. Add the flowers using soft suede and lovely lipstick, again stamped off once. The person is inked up in memento and stamped towards the left hand side. Put this out of the way to dry out fully.

Using a scrap, ink up the sentiment in memento black ink and stamp. Create a banner tail and add this to a mat of call me clover and again, add banner tails.

Bring back in your stamped piece, if it's not 100% dry use your heat gun to speed it up. The base needs to be perfectly dry, otherwise when you start to sponge the card you may move about the wet ink that is already down, making a mess... please trust I know!!!!!

Ink up your sponge with daffodil delight and concentrate the colour towards the top right hand corner, keeping it darker along the edges, fading ask it comes towards the centre. Once you are happy, repeat this process with Pool Party and cover the white space.

Add some of the butterflies around the person in lovely lipstick and then glue this to a basic black card base. Put some dimensionals on the back of the banner and place on the card front. Dot about a few rhinestones and it's finished!

Stampin Up 2018 Colour Revamp Explained

Hello Everyone,

This is the second post of the day, but I thought I would show you the new exciting colour revamp that Stampin Up have brought in with the new annual catalogue.

As you may know Stampin Up work in colour families, and these are pretty constant throughout the years. But as trends and tastes change, every now and again Stampin Up have a refresh or a revamp to update the colour selection and bring us a new variety to the colour palette - unfortunately this means that some of our favourites retire, but we have been blessed with so many new and beautiful colours that you soon forget your sorrow over retired products.

Each year we see a new In Colour collection containing five colours which are new, fun and exciting. This year the revamp has brought us 16 brand new core colours. Ten brand new colours and 6 which are returning colours.

Here are the brand new colours

There has also been a shake up in the colour families, a few of them have swapped the groups to make sure they all work together.

Here's a full listing of the new colour families

I can't wait to experiment with all the colours, working out what works alongside one another and how these work with all the stamp sets in the catalogue. As well as the basics - ink, cardstock etc - remember that Stampin Up work hard to coordinate so all the new paper stacks, ribbon and embellishment will also worth beautifully together.

If you want anymore information, or wish to order some new goodies head over to my online store.

Thanks for joining me again today,

See you Soon

Bright Detailed with Love Card using the New In Colours from Stampin Up

Hello Everyone,

It's Thursday, more than half way through the week - It's downhill from here!!

Earlier this week I joined in a team call, we have these regular for Demos in our team to have a chat, get inspiration and share ideas and learn! We are often set challenges to encourage us to create and think outside the box when it comes to using products. We were set a challenge to make a project using 3 or more colours!

This is my card, I used Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel & Grapefruit Grove. I absolutely love the new in colours, they are bold and bright and the names are pretty awesome too!

MEASUREMENTS

Call Me Clover Cardstock

1pc - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8", scored at 4 1/8"

Whisper White Cardstock

2pcs - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1pc - 3 1/4" x 5"

Scrap for the sentiment

Blueberry Bushel Cardstock

1pc - 3 5/8" x 5 1/4"

Grapefruit Grove Cardstock

Scrap for the sentiment mat.

Using the solid oval stamp from the detailed with love stamp it onto the scrap of whisper white using Grapefruit Grove. Once the ink is dry, run it through the big shot using the second largest oval from the stitched shapes framelits, also cut of the largest oval in Grapefruit Grove card stock.

Take the smallest piece of Whisper white and punch the floral detail in each of the corners using the detailed trio punch. In the stamp set there is a border which fits perfectly around the punch out - Ink it up in Grapefruit Grove and stamp around the corners.

Fold and burnish the Call Me Clover cardstock to create your base, then layer up all your mats using snail. Add dimensionals to the ovals and layer in the centre of the card.

All done, I love the simplicity of this card. Showcasing the great new colours along with the items from the detailed with love suite.

Berry Burst Perennial Birthday Fancy Fold Card using Stampin Up Products

Good Morning Everyone,

Yesterday I took a delivery of yet more new catalogues, so I managed to get them all packed up and ready to post today... so most of my evening was taken up by that but I did manage to squeeze it a little bit of card making, here's what I came up with

Now, as you know I love a super speedy card and using just one stamp set and a limited colour choices, I managed to create this card in very little time, but it doesn't look thrown together, and I'm sure the recipient would appreciate the detail that has gone into it.

MEASUREMENTS
Berry Burst Cardstock
1pc - 5 7/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 4 5/8" and 9 1/4"

Whisper White Cardstock
2pcs - 2 1/8" x 5 5/8"
3pcs - 4 3/8" x 5 5/8"
Scrap for the Sentiment

Soft Suede Cardstock
scrap for the sentiment mat.

Bring in your Big Shot and using your scraps and the stitched shape framelits, cut out the largest oval in soft suede and the second largest in whisper white. set these to one side whilst you create your own DSP Panels.

Take two sentiments from the Perennial birthday stamp set and add these two of  the large whisper white panels in soft suede ink. Choose which one will be your centre panel, sponge the edges in berry burst. Using the large floral image, cover the remainder of the whisper white pieces to create a gorgeous background and then sponge all the edges. Whilst you have the inks to hand, stamp a Happy Birthday from the same set in soft suede onto the whisper white oval. Add a few floral images to fill in a little of the white space.

Now it's time to assemble.

Taking the berry burst fold from the first score line into the centre, the fold the second score line into the centre also, creating a flap. Make sure you fold and burnish well with your bone folder to get crisp firm folds. Add all the panels with snail to the appropriate fitting spaces on the card, you need a large plain panel to the front, along with a skinny piece on the flap. On the inside add you sentiment only panel to the centre and them add the final two pieces.

Add dimenisonals to the whisper white oval and centre onto the soft suede. Close the card base up and place the sentiment in the centre of the card, add dimensionals to the back of the oval, but only on the right hand side on the flap, otherwise you will stick it shut.

New In Colours Daisy Wreath using Stampin Up Products

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend. On Saturday I headed out to Birmingham to a team meet hosted by Amanda Charlesworth aka, Scrimpingmommy.

It was the first team Event I have attended and it was AWESOME. I got to meet some lovely teammates, watch demonstrations and learn new techniques.

Amanda asked each of us to create a WOW project for an inspiration table and here's mine....

I looks like a lot, but it is really simple to achieve.

I took a preformed wreath shape which I bought at a local craft shop for a couple of pounds. Punch in two holes towards what will be the top of the wreath and tie in some crumb cake ribbon to create the handle.

Take out your new  in colours and create a load of daisies. I think I had to make about 60 to cover this size.

To create the daisy stamp out two of the large flower images in the colour of your choice, then add the centre to one using daffodil delight. Punch out using the daisy punch and the curl the edges gently using your bone folder. adhere the top daisy (the one with the centre stamped to the bottom one using a glue dot - make sure you offset the petals to give a fuller flower shape. Then create as many as you need to fill your shape.

To give a more shape and lift I used dimensional to adhere these to the base, this helped tuck petals under and over to allow a more dimensional project.

And that's it - it's a great project, simple to do but a little time consuming to create all the individual daisies, but I sat in front of the tv one night, with my supplies on the coffee table and they were stamped and punched during one episode of Springwatch!!

Here's a list of all the items I used today, click on the images to head over to my online store.
