Wishing you tons of fun

Hi, hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and enjoying this lovely weather. Today’s card is one I made for a little boys birthday. I used Promarkers to colour the Elephant and he is from My Favourite Things. I used a Paula Pascual Sizzix Butterfly die that has this rectangle in the set for the aperture. The background is a stamp from Stampin Up called Buffalo Check and it was stamped with Versamark ink on Blue card. The sentiment came with the stamp set and I finished off with a die cut number 1.

Stampin Up Blended Seasons

Stampin Up have brought out a stamp and die set called Blended Seasons. Its only available until the end of August. I have made 3 different cards using some of the stamps and dies in the bundle.

On the first one I used the new Watercolour pencils that have also been produced for a limited period.

 

In this card I cut up the holly bough into separate pieces. The paper on the back is from a new collection coming in the new book called Festive Farmhouse .



 

 

Lastly, the leaf stamps were coloured with SU inks in Cajun Craze, Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss. I used the Shimmer cardstock, hopefully you can see better in the closer photo.

 

 

 

 

Congrats Card

Good morning, I have been looking back at photos and I missed posting this card I made for a friends birthday. It has a mix of company’s as I didn’t have anything suitable in my SU stash. I die cut the background die in some Yupo paper to make a stencil, I then sponged some ink through it. I used some glitter card from a pad that I got from last years SAB promo.

Lots of Happy Card Kit

With my crafting time much less these days , I grabbed   one of the all inclusive kits from SU to make a friends card. All I needed was a some basic tools and I was ready to go and it was easily done from the dining room table . The envelopes were included and I love they match some of the cardstock in the kit. You also get some of the fabulous watercolour pencils which I am loving to use for some quick and easy colouring . You can buy the complete kit which includes card blanks in different sizes, envelopes, Watercolour pencils, sentiment stamps, acrylic block, die cut outs, ribbon, Black ink pad. Then when you have run out of cardstock elements you can buy a refill kit to replace them, which is a brilliant idea. I just added a little leaf die to fill in some gaps and I cut it using a small piece of the gold card in the kit . 

Balloon card

Hi there, I have been going through my photos trying to find cards I have made and not posted. This card uses Stampin Up products.

The glitter card was in last year Sale-a-bration and I used the balloon punch which is still available to create the balloons. I free hand drew the strings coming down with a marker pen. The background is embossed using one of their embossing folders, really meant to be snow but it can be used for other occasions. I added a little strip of mirror card and a tiny slither of the glitter card down the side. I used some old Silver elastic to create the bows and finished off with a sentiment. I did shape the balloons with a ball tool to create a bit of dimension .

Valentines Day gift box

Happy Valentines Day, no card to share but I did make this little gift box and chocolate wrapper for a friend. We always exchange little gifts on special days and holidays through the year and make a handmade box to give it in, there are so many wonderful ideas from Stampin Up demonstrators all over the world. The box has a flat lid and it was one I adapted to fit a Yankee Candle votive. The idea came from Pootles Papercrafts and the wrapper came from an The Paper Pixie.

I used Stampin Up DSP called Painted With Love, its gorgeous with foiled detailing and its double sided. I used the Sweet and Sassy Framelits for the hearts and I stamped with gold embossing powder on the smaller one and used the heart stamp from Bloomin Love. The friend stamp is also in this set. Its finished off with some of our gold ribbon and the chocolate wrapper contain a Lindt bar.
