Artistically Asian Thank You Card using Stampin Up Supplies. Number 58 of #100things

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well? I was busy celebrating my birthday over the weekend, so I feel I am a little behind, so I've been beavering away on a night to try and get myself back on track.

Today I have this lovely card, very simple in design and uses minimal supplies but the effect is lovely - well I think so, what do you think??

Measurements

Gray Granite Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - 2" x 1 3/4"

Very Vanilla Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 4 7/8" x 3 1/8"
1pc - 1 3/4" x 1"

Create the card base from your large Gray Granite cardstock, then cover the card front with the floral image to create a full background.

Whilst the image is on the block, stamp the image clearly towards the top of the 4 7/8" x 3 1/8" piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Ink up the sentiment and stamp onto the smallest piece of  Very Vanilla cardstock.

Take all of the card pieces and sponge the edges lightly using Gray Granite ink.

All that's left now is to layer up all the piece onto the card base, and add a touch of Wink of Stella to the focal image to add a bit of sparkle.

Decorated MDF Star Christmas Decorations. Number 57 of #100things

Good Evening Everyone,

It's Monday Again... I just don't know where the weekend goes - it was an extra special weekend as I celebrated my Birthday yesterday. I have been spoiled rotten by friends and family and I am so grateful.

Here's my project for today... it's a Christmas decoration which is so easy to put together and looks beautiful..

These really couldn't be easier to make, and you can use a variety of papers and stamps to create the perfect decoration to suit your décor!!

I bought these MDF star shapes from Amazon, a pack of ten was a few pounds and came with the hanging twine.

Add a layer of Mod Podge onto the MDF shape then lay down your DSP over the top. I used a square piece slightly larger then trimmed it down - I found this easier than trying to measure accurately. Brush a layer of Mod Podge over the DSP and set to one side to dry.

Once dry, take your snips and cut carefully around the shape and using a sharp pointed tool (paper piercer works well) push through the paper where the hole is, repeat this process for the other side. 

On scraps stamp a sentiment or images. I used the reindeer from Cookie Cutter Christmas and added a red nose and coloured it in with wink of stella, on the second I stamped a sentiment and layered it on to a piece of coordinating cardstock. Add these to the stars with dimensionals.

Thread the twine that come with the MDF shapes a tie in a knot.

Remembrance Day Poppy Quote using Stampin Up! Supplies. Number 56 of #100things

Good morning Everyone,

As it's Remembrance Day today, My project today is all about Remembering all those who fall to give us freedom during the War.

I am very happy with how it turned out, and using Stampin Up supplies, it made it really easy to put together.

Using scraps of real red and basic black, uncut out lots of petal shapes and the star shapes. Curl the petal edges to give some lift, and then adhere together. I used four large petals and one small for the larger full flowers & one large and two small petals to create the closed flower. Stick two of the black stars together offset to fill out the shape and adhere this to the centre of the larger flower, and add half a piece onto the closed flower.

I typed the quote out on my computer and printer it out on Whisper White card stock. Cut this to 5" x 6".

Add the flowers to the white piece of cardstock and with dimensionals and cut some stems using the bouquet bunch framelits.  Add these just under the flower heads.

Layer up the whisper white onto a piece of basic black that is 1/2" larger, then a real red piece which is another 1/2" larger.
