Decorative border Thank You Card using Stampin Up Supplies

Hello Everyone,

It's Saturday... and what a great day I have got planned. I am heading to my friends house today, who is my Stampin Up Upline to have a morning of Crafting, Coffee & Chit Chat.. and them I'm spending some time with my better half, Dave. We have both been super busy with our full time jobs, and my crafting on top of that... it's way past due!!!

Now my card today is awesome, if I do say so myself. I love how simply it is, but how effective the result. Using scraps of 2017-2019 in colour cardstock and a die which I seem to easily overlook came together to create this....

So, first of all take you detailed border dies and hunt out and scraps the will be big enough to fit it, I needed 8 strips to fit my card, and I chose to stick with the 2017-2019 in colours, which since the new in colours arrived, have been slightly neglected.

Add the multipurpose adhesive sheet to the back of all your scraps. You peel off the top sheet and pop your cardstock on top, rub the cardstock to ensure that the adhesive has stuck well. leave to release paper on the back and then bring out the big shot. Lay the cardstock adhesive side down, place the die on top and cut as normal. Do this with all you pieces.

Cut a piece of Basic Gray to 5 5/8" x 8 1/4" and score at 4 1/8" to create your card base.

Take the release paper from the back of the die cuts and adhere horizontally across the whole of the card front. Press the pieces down really well to ensure all of the bits a stuck down.

Taking your tranquil tide ink, stamp the fancy outline image, add the cute thank you to the centre and punch out using the pretty label punch. back this with two smoky slate label punch outs which have been sponged and adhere onto the card.

Add rhinestones and the card is finished.

Enjoy Life Quote Bookmark with Cute Birdy using Stampin Up Supplies

Good Morning Everyone,

It's Friday!! Hope you have some great plans for the weekend. I'm heading to my meet up with crafty friend for the morning tomorrow and them Sunday we have a family lunch to celebrate Fathers Day.

I picked up a brand new book this week, and I could not find my bookmark for the life in me - so I decided to create a new one...

Take a piece of whisper white that measures 4 1/2" x2" and the same size in Call me clover. Using the scallop tag, add the detail to the top of both pieces and round the corners on the bottom. Taking the detailed trio punch and the floral cut out to both bottom corners.

Using the enjoy life stamp set, stamp out the foliage image along the bottom in smoky slate, and add the quote over the top in call me clover.

Bring in the pineapple punch ink and sponge along the top, coming down approx. an inch.

Adhere the two pieces together, I used we glue to give me a little bit of time to move them around to make sure they were lined up correctly. Just make sure you do not put to much around your cut out sections as the glue may ooze through.

Stamp the bird from Petal Palette onto whisper white and cut out using the die from petals and more framelits. Colour using and colouring tool you like, I used my aqua painter to give a subtle was of colour. Add dimensionsals and place on the bookmark.

Finally add some bakers twine to the scallop top to create a tassel and you are all ready to mark your pages.

Half Full Happy Birthday Card using Stampin Up Products

Hello Everyone,

It looks like the weather is set to change over the next few days. We are expecting rain and high winds... but on the up side... my garden could do with it!!

Today I bring you a Birthday card for my dear friend, who is partial to a glass of red or three!! So I thought this would be perfect..

Take a piece of Rich Razzelberry card stock cut to 5 1/2 x 3 3/4" and wipe with your embossing buddy. this will help remove any grease or static on the card and help the powder stock only to where you have place the ink. Ink up the bottle stamp in versamark and cover the whole piece with it. Cover with clear embossing powder and set using your heat gun. You will know when it is done when the dull powder has melted and the whole image is now shiny.

Using scraps stamp out two bottles and one glass ( or whichever combination you refer) in memento, them colour in using your stampin write markers and the fussy cut out.

Bring in your big shot and cut out a square of Old olive using the second largest framelit and a whisper white one using the smallest, adding a sentiment to it using memento.

Layer all your pieces together and the add some rhinestones for some added bling.

If Life Gives You Lemons....Greetings Card using Stampin Up Supplies

Hello again Everyone.

Today I wanted to show a stamp set that I think gets overlooked a little in the catalogue... but I absolutely love it. It has some of the most awesome sentiments.. it's definitely worth a look. Here's what I made today...

Cut a two pieces of whisper white to 5 5/8" x 3 7/8". Place one on the inside of your card base, which was made up from a piece of Lemon Lime Twist. Using the other piece, cover this with the lemon slice in daffodil delight, I stamped off piece before stamping to give a really light colour. Add this to the front of the card using snail.

Take a piece of Bermuda Bay that measures 3" x 4 1/2" and create a banner tail and place this on the card. Adding the sentiments once this is down, helps get the positioning right.

Using some scraps of whisper white, stamp out on lemon in daffodil delight, one in so saffron and three leaves in old olive then cut out using the punch. The punch will cut out two leaves and a lemon each punch, so make sure you line up your stamps well before punching. Add a small amount of snail to the right hand side of so saffron lemon and lay the other lemon on top, using glue dots adhere the leaves to the top of the bunch. Put dimensionals on the back and place in between the two sentiments.
